Hey guys! Ok, so I had a screw up last chapter Sparky is 18 not 17! THE QUIZ ENDS WEDNESDAY!

District 2

Jackie Collson POV

"Rick, stop it!" I yell to my 16 year old brother, who was currently tickling me to no end.

"Rick, leave your sister alone. Now." My mother, Flora, yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah, guys stop you act like 7 year olds and your how old?" my father, Manuel, asks.

"16." Rick grumbled.

"14." I muttered.

"Good. Now act like Careers." He said.

My father is big on this whole "Career" thing. I guess it is ok, I mean it would be cool to be a Career, but something about knowing you might lose you life horrifies me. Rick and I separate onto different chairs and stare at our thumbs. When I look at mine I see a pale extra finger looking up at me.

"Breakfast is ready." My mom yells.

We all jump up and me and Rick push each other to get there first. I end up being there first, I grab some eggs and toast and plop down at my seat by the counter. Rick gets his serving and sits next to me.

"So you guys ready for the Reaping. Rick and I knew we had to be happy about it so we did.

"Yes!" Rick shouted like a 5 –year-old- girl. I had to hold back a giggle for that one.

"Yes, father." I say and look him dead in the eye.

"Good." He grunts.

The rest of breakfast is quiet and we all float away once we are done to get ready. I finish my food and put my dishes in the sink and walk towards my room. I go in my room that is down the hall. My walls are a teal color and I have an old quilt that was passed down for generations. I have a closet, chair and vanity. I look in the cracked mirror that hang on one of my walls. I have chocolate dark hair that flows to about my waist and big green eyes that have flecks of blue in them. I'm pale and at a normal height for a girl my age. I get dressed in the outfit my mother has laid out for me. A purple top that has ruffles, some nice slacks, and white shoes.

When I finished getting ready I head out to our living room. Together, we leave for the Reaping. When we get there me and Rick sign up, then split ways. He goes to the 16-year-old boy section, while I go to the 14-year-old girl section. I take my place next to another 14 year old girl.

Our escort, Naomi Silk soon comes on and makes the speech she does every year. I tune her out until she is going to call the girl's name.

"Jackie Collson!"

I should protest. But then again, that wouldn't do much…..

Nico POV

"Focus, Nico!" my trainer, Hex, yells.

I look at my opponent more to find his weak spot. I soon charge at him and knock him down.

"Good, you dismissed." Hex says. I sigh and flip my long black hair to the side. I can hear the girls squeal so when I turn the corner I give them a wink. They giggle and continue to gossip. I roll my eyes.

I see my friend, Javvann, trying to get girls to go on a date with him, but failing miserably.

"Hey." I say as he joins me.

"I have no clue how you are so good with the girls." He says.

"It's all in the charm." I say looking down at him since he was shorter, of course he was shorter than me I'm 6'. He sighs and looks forward.

"Well, I am going to go get ready." I say. He waves me off and walks towards his house.

I take a deep breath and enter my household. This use to be a happy house until there was a fire. It was a night where everything had gone perfect until everyone was in bed. I felt warmth come over me and opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was smoke. I started to panic and tried to get everyone up. I failed. My mom, brothers, and poor little 4 year -old- Scarlett all died. I tried to save Scarlett, but a part of the ceiling fell on her and my arm. I have a big burn scar from where it him. It tortures me to no end. We later found out it was started by Peacekeepers. I don't know why either.

I walk in and see my dad sitting at the small table staring out the window. He lost it after they all died.

"Hey dad." I say.

"Hey." He grunts. I sigh and walk down the tiny hallway to my room.

I pick out my clothes for the reaping, brown slack pants and a pale green dress shirt. I leave my hair has it is. No sense in trying to comb it back. I walk back out say bye to dad, because he doesn't come and walk towards the square.

I sign in and walk towards the 18 year old section. Our escort soon comes out since I was one of the last ones.

"Welcome, everybody to the 64th Hunger Games Reaping!" she yells. She babbles on and on, but I don't listen.

Soon she calls the girl name, Jackie Collson. It sounds familiar, but I don't know her.

"Here come the boys!" she yells. She goes and draws the name out of the glass ball and reads it aloud.

"Nico Alias!" she yells.

My brain tells me what to do as I walk towards the stage with a smirk on my face. Stay cool, you are cool. My head says.

"District 2 tributes everybody!" our escort yells.

District 3 will be up soon! Hope you liked it!
