Chapter 2

The seconds waiting turns into minutes. I hear groans of the kids. I see some of us rubbing our feet and arms, we are not use to these "high-class" clothing, we are used to getting down and dirty in our rubber boots and farming clothes, we are farmers.

Eventually someone walks on stage. Her name is Larine Holdrege

And she draws the names. She is followed by our mayor and some advisors. Our mayor (Pluneberry) sits down in his chair up on stage.

"Welcome District 10, Welcome," Larine starts. "The time has come again to select one lucky man and women to participate in our 11th Hunger Games, but first here is a film brought to you all the way from the Capitol," she starts to do a small little clap as she skips to her seat and the film starts.

The film is the same thing every year. It talks about how the uprising of the districts against the Capitol. The whole thing is just a bunch of crap, except there is one quote that always sticks in my head when I hear it; "Twelve districts defeated, the thirteenth obliterated."

The film stops and Mayor Pluneberry steps up to the microphone to say his little piece. It's not a big deal, just him going on about how proud he is to live in District 10 and that he is absolutely thrilled of what is to come in the Hunger games. He also said that he can feel it in his bones that a victor will come from 10 this year.

You never know.

Mayor Pluneberry sits back down and Larine walks over to the microphone. "Thank you Mayor Pluneberry for that beautiful speech," she says. "Now the part we have all been waiting for, its time to choose the tributes," she speaks. She walks over to the girls bowl and she plops her hand, she digs around for a couple seconds and pulls out a slip, the crowd goes silent and she says with a great big smile, "Vivan Incomstanti."
