Allison Barks
I wake up, and find myself sleeping in an awkward position. My legs are all tangled up with each other, and my arms look like I was having a spaz attack. I get out of bed while in my Candy Girls pajamas. I just love the show Candy Girls, it's an exclusive TV show that is rarely ever on. Only the wealthy can see it on a daily basis. I yawn, and smell my breath; it's terrible. I brush my teeth for three minutes, and gargle my mouth wash. As I take a long cold shower in the bucket that we have, my mother runs into the bathroom and tells me to hurry up. I like to take my time because if I rush, I usually have left over soap on my body and that feels gross to me. I clean my body nice and clean, and finally put on my conditioner. We have only a little bit of lotion, so we save it. I put some on my tan colored legs and on my arms too. I would put it on my face, but I heard a myth that it makes you break out, which I really don't want to do. I finish taking a shower, and I put on the outfit that my mother laid out for me the day before. I wear a long sleeved white and black shirt with a flower that represents district 12 on my right breast. I put on a dark black skirt with my knees showing. After that, I lace on my long white boots that I only wear to school. For using them at a dirty school that I go to, they're pretty clean. My mother and I are the only ones who live in our household. I don't know who my father is, apparently he works in the capitol. Screw that guy if he doesn't even bother to drop in and find out what his daughter looks like, or what she's grown up to be. I've spent 17 years of my life wondering who he is and what he looks like. I might never know. I quickly kiss my mother a cheek to rush out of the house, and she asks if I'm not going to eat. I said no but she insisted that I at least drink the fresh cow milk that she just got. I loved my mother, and I wanted to please her so I quickly quaffed the milk with some of dripping down my chin onto the ground. I kiss her once again, and leave a lip mark of milk on her cheek. I giggle as I leave the house, and run to The Square, that's where the reapings will take place in our district. I get my finger mini stabbed, it hurts because I didn't expect it. The guards stare at me, and I just stick my tongue out at them. I'm one of the last people to arrive, and I see my mother right behind me. I watch the movie closely to see why we're here in this situation. I honestly don't care because the districts weren't wrong, but they weren't right. As our escort, ''Xinia,'' picks up a envelope from the girls bin, I see her disgusting white coated tongue touch her crusty yellow teeth. I feel disgusted just to be standing in the same area as her. She licks her dark blue lips, and says the my name. I look over at my mother, and everyone looks at me. My mother prays that I win, but I know that I have no idea how to survive in an area where it's kill or be killed. I walk up to the stage, and I actually sit down instead of stand up. I sit and see what boy is going to get chosen.
Colton Minitee
I wake up, and look into my mirror. I think about the Hunger Games, and if I was chosen. How would I win, or get sponsors is what I thought to myself. I feel like I could never get sponsors because of the crooked teeth that I had. Being noticed is one of the things that I hate most because I only get noticed for my terrible teeth. Why is it me with these problems? Why do I have to be so unlucky? I have braces, but my teeth still aren't getting any better. My parents tell met hat they'll get better, but I just don't see it happening. I ate a banana, and some eggs for breakfast with orange juice. I head out with my parents, but I get there before them. I get my finger pricked, and I stand in the boys section. I listen as our escort chooses an envelope from the girls bin, and her name is ''Ally Barks.'' When she says that, I see a very cute, tanned body colored girl walk up the stage. She sits down, and I guess she's rebellious or something. When our escort picks out an envelope from the boys bin, she calls ''Colton Minitee.'' I sit and wait for a while to see if anyone will volunteer for me, and as expected, nobody does. I see two guards rushing towards me until a run out of my isle, and hop onto the stage. Xinia smiles at me, and I notice that her teeth are probably way more terrible than mine are, they might not be crooked, but they are terrible disgusting. Mine are white, but hers are yellow.. gross! I shake hands with Allison and asks her if I could call her ''Ally,'' she says yes, and we both go into the building behind the stage. I have no idea what the name of that building is called, maybe the capitol will figure out something to name it later on. I sit back and wait for people to visit me, the only people who do are my parents and we talk about strategies, and what not. After that, we talk about all the memories that we had together. I don't know if that's a sign of them not believing, but I didn't take it as one. I know that they did, and we hugged for the last two minutes that we had. After that, the guards took them away from me and I just looked at the blank wall. No expression what-so-ever on my face, I wonder who the other tributes are, all the other districts must have been watching since we're the last district. I haven't seen any of the others, but I'm very interested.
