A/N- Sorry for the short chapter last time. I need some encouragement. BTW, this is my first fanfiction.
Alexia Wave strutted across the glimmering paths of District One. She sniffed the cool air of the District and thought about how she had worked so hard to get here. President Snow was strict. Making sure she looked good before continuing, she held up the ends of her long wave-shaped teal dress. White foam glittered in her blue-white hair. Painted across her cheek was a clownfish smiling. A few citizens cheered when they saw her, and started following her to the square. She heard in the background a citizen saying that she ordered extra tesserae trying to get in, while another citizen retorted that he was just going to volunteer. Alexia smiled sympathetically. No volunteering this year.
Finally arriving to the square, Alexia strode up the stage and stood in the middle. All of the formal stuff happened, and then it was time for Alexia to reap.
"Ladies and gentleman, the Capitol had decided to pick four people, two of each gender, and then deciding who will get the honor of going into the Hunger Games." Alexia said cheerfully. Then she made a frown.
"There will be no volunteers this year." At year, everything was silent for four seconds, then, someone sniffed, and the riot began. Pins were thrown at the mayor and Alexia, and a prick of blood started to blossom on her forearm. She cried out, and everyone stopped. Stepping out of her hiding place she pleaded, "Please, please, stop! We are acting like wild animals! Please, enough damage has been done already!" She held her forearm up for the citizens to see, and the citizens rolled their eyes in "pleasure." She felt touched to see how they cared about her, and Alexia continued the reaping.
"The first girl for District One is…Stella Stering!" She cheered as she sprinted to the stage.
"I'm gonna win this thing!" Stella Stering screamed. Alexia smiled at her energy and eagerness.
"The second girl for District One is…Sparkle Blossom!" She blinded everyone with her white sparkling of her teeth as she strutted to the stage. Alexia immediately hated her for her beauty. Gritting her teeth, and then realizing that she could mess up her own teeth, she stopped gritting them. She strutted her own stuff as she yanked a name out the reaping for the men. Pulling a name at random, she read, "Tux Tide!" Her heart immediately fluttered when she saw the guy walking up to the stage. He was eighteen, good for Alexia's age, since she was seventeen. She batted her eyes, and he winked back. He was good-looking. He had black hair, with striking light blue eyes.
The second guy for District One is…Red Stering!" Looking over at Stella, her face turned pale. Red Stering walked up unsure, watching Stella the whole time.
"No, no. She's my sister! We can't go in the Hunger Games together!"
"Only two of the four of you are going into the Hunger Games. It is time for you to decide which ones." She said. Alexia thought, I hope it is not Tux because he is so….
"We've made our decision." Tux's voice snapped Alexia back to the present.
"Oh." Alexia said. "So what is your decision?"
"Sparkle and I are going in." Alexia started breathing hard. She has to do everything in her power to get Tux to win. She walked over to the tributes, who had already shaken hands. Holding up their hands in different hands, she shouted,
"These are the tributes for District One, the 94th Hunger Games!" Squeezing Tux's hand before letting it go she said, "I'm gonna get you to win." He smiled and said back,
"I love the dress." Alexia nearly fainted from the pleasure Tux was showing. Alexia and the tributes walked away.
District Two
Catherine Stone was already at the square.
"No, no, no! If we don't hurry, we will barely have enough time for anything!" Catherine whisper-screamed at herself. Watching the first eager trickle of maybe future-tributes come in, she straightened her violet tiara of jewels. Taking her place at the stand, she breathed in the cool air. Again, she was glad she got District Two, and not a district like Nine, or Twelve. Any of the Lower Districts, really.
A few minutes later, everyone was there, and Catherine was pulling out the first names.
"The first girl for District Two is…Kaya Nettern!" The girl walking to the stage was clearly confident. She was sixteen, and was very stubborn. Kaya stood with her chin up.
"The second girl for District Two is…Elisa Fuir!" This one was not a promising tribute. She was small, and looked twelve. Catherine didn't know if she was just naturally pale, or really not wanting to go to the Hunger Games.
"The first boy for District Two is…Samuel Mide!" Now this was a promising tribute. He was big and strong, and he had an aura of authority around him.
"The second boy for District Two is…Nate Kan!" He had glasses and when he raised his head, he was holding a book in his hand. When Catherine asked him how he thought he would win this he said that he would… "book them" in the face, whatever that meant.
Catherine was waiting for them to make their decision when all of a sudden Elisa came to the front of the stage saying that she and Samuel would be the next tributes, then walking out the back, not even acknowledging Catherine. Catherine stared dumbfounded after the girl, then glancing at the crowd, ran after the tributes.
