Chapter 1: Reapings, Goodbyes and The Train Ride
Glimmer's POV
"Glimmer Rame!" Our escort Marina said.
I look to my right and almost start crying. I'm going to miss these girls.
"I'll miss you guys." I whisper to the girls. I thought none of us were going to get reaped. Lexi digs in her bag and pulls out a heart necklace.
"Take this as your district token. I was going to give all of us one but u get yours early." Lexi said.
I head for the stage.
Lexi's POV
Why does my best friend have to be reaped!? The bad thing is I promised her none of us would get reaped. We've been like sisters since Glimmer and I were born! I hope she comes home.
"Lexi, time for boys!" Ali said trying to cheer me up.
If any one kills my Glimmy, their DEAD!
"Marvel!" Marina announced.
Poor Alison! She has Glimmer and her cousin both in the Hunger Games.
Glimmer's POV
We have 30 minutes to say goodbye to our family and friends. Lea, Jen, Lexi, Ali, Chels and Tiffy come in with Melissa, Lexi's mom.
Melissa come up and hugs me. Melissa has been like my mom since me and Lexi were 4, since my mom works in the capitol almost every day.
"GLIMMY!" the girls yell as they start to cry, now I'm crying to.
" You will make it home, got it!" Jen commands.
" We will keep that promise of u moving in with me when you get home." Lexi exclaims.
" I'll help with our prom dresses like I promised." Lea sobbed.
"You have to come home. We don't care, kill Marvel if you have to just come home." Chels said.
"U better not embarrass yourself either." Tiffy instructs me.
"You better not forget us!" Ali says sobbing into Lea's shoulder.
The Peacekeepers came in and told them it was time to leave.
"We'll miss you!" Lexi Said.
" You too!" I said as we hugged each other.
They walk out the door. I guess this is goodbye.
Before I knew it I was on the train going to the capitol. We on the couch and the reaping. We just missed our district so we watched District 2. They called with a name that started with a C who looked about 15. Next they pick a boy named Cato. He's Pretty HOT. Come on Glimmer, your not supposed to be thinking about how hot a guy is, your supposed to think about getting home.
Most of the other reapings were boring except District 12.
A 12 year old girl was reaped, than a girl I'm assuming is her sister volunteers. That's unheard of in District 12 . That girl is some one to watch. Our mentors Cahmere and Gloss come out. They tell us that we've got to the capitol and that we are going to our rooms. We have one floor to our district. My floor is floor 1 because District 1. I went to my room and got into my and went to bed. I can't wait to meet my competition.
