Chapter 4: Preston's Life
TBNRFrags (Preston's) POV
I usually sit in my little apartment in district 7 where no one didn't know one another. I knew everybody in my apartment complex. Although the hunger games are approaching fast and I have never really been to a reaping, I just sit at home playing minecraft. I never really had any ties to where my family comes from but it never really bothers me. Today is the day of the reaping and I have just turned 18 and if all goes well I will never have to go to the hunger games ever. I'm used to just playing the hunger games on minecraft. Oh well might as well take a nap. (45 minutes later) I woke up to hearing someone say "WELCOME TO THE 77TH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES". I jumped out of my couch and grabbed my jacket and my phone and rushed out the door. It took me less then 5 minutes to get to the stage but I'm sure I thought I heard the female tribute that goes by the name of Jessica Barton, she was a sweet girl I liked her once but she dated my best friend and broke his heart. When I finally joined the crowd and the woman said the male tribute is John Blacksmith I was really sad and I knew he would surly not make it since he has severe asthma. I knew I needed to help him, I knew his family would not let him go without a fight. I needed to step in, the guards were already going towards John and almost in unison my best friend and I yelled "I VOLUNTEER!" how are they gonna settle this I thought... "Oh would you look at this!" the lady with the pink hair exclaimed "two volunteers? How might we settle this?" She pulled out of her pocket of what looked to be a time machine but it was really a phone. She called someone from the Capitol and was on the phone for quite sometime now. When the woman got off the phone she had told both of us to go up on the stage. Her orders were to make us play... Rock, Paper, Scissors. I know right! rock paper scissors, crazy right!. But she said "ROCK... PAPER... SCISSORS NOW SHOW!" I chose rock and my best friend Ethan Rockwell inevitably chose paper and I just passed out... When I awoke I was on a train with the kids from the other district and I saw Mitch, the one and only BajanCanadian, and Robert AKA MrWoofless along with other kids I didn't know. I moved over to Mitch and Rob and sat next to them and on the way to the next district I just fell asleep next to an already sleeping Rob.
