Chapter 2
Glimmer
"Glimmer hurry up! You need to leave for the reaping now," my mother called.
I hesitated just a second longer so I could grab my locket. The locket had a picture of my mom and brother, the two people closest to me. It would be my token if I got picked, but I knew I wouldn't. My parents made the best luxury items in the district, so I didn't have to take the terresae.
"Ha! You have to go the reaping!" my younger brother, Rent, teased. He was eight so he didn't have to go the reaping, yet. I was eighteen, so it was my last year.
"Shut up Rent! You will too in four years!"
"Yeah, but that's a long time!"
"Whatever…"
I pulled on my lime green dress that went perfectly with my green eyes. Most people thought they were my best quality, but I thought my long, golden, curly hair was.
"Glimmer hurry up! You don't want to be late on your last year!" my mother yelled up to me.
"Coming mother!" I screamed back.
"Good lucky," Rent told me before I ran downstairs.
"Good luck," mom told me as I ran out the door, completely forgetting about breakfast.
I ran out the door, down the steps, through the garden, and down to the concrete street. I was in such a hurry, I almost ran into my best friend.
"Hey Glimmer, where are you going in such a hurry?" Ree asked.
"Hey. The reaping, where you're going. Anyway, are you ready for your last year?"
"I'll be glad to get this over with yes, but I'm nervous. I have to take the terresae, remember?"
"Oh yeah. Still, there are a lot of people. You'll be fine."
"Yeah, sure," she replied sarcastically.
We walked down together to go sign in. then, we had to go to where all the eighteen year old girls were standing.
Our escort lady, Renee Ricka, came onto the stage.
"Welcome, and happy Hunger Games! Thank you all for coming, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" she announced. Then, the victors from previous years, that were still alive, came onto the stage. I couldn't remember any of there names at the moment.
"Ladies first!" she called.
She reached into the bowl and picked one of the slips that were on the top. I sure hoped they didn't put the eighteen year olds on the top. She unraveled the slip of paper and read the name, "Glimmer Jaberwok."
I gasped, "What?"
Did you like it? PLEASE tell me!
I really like people to read and tell me what they thought! I know I stink at Grammer and spelling so don't kill me!
I will try to get next chapter by some time tonight...
THANKS
