Petris Siversmith, 16

I sat up in bed and yawned. What time was it? Was I late for school? Then I remembered that it was reaping day!

Leaping out of bed, I ran to the bathroom to wash my face. Since I lived in district two, our reaping was held at 11:00 am. For some reason my alarm clock hadn't awakened me and in one hour it would start.

After quickly brushing my teeth, I practically sprinted back to my room. It was a hard decision to choose which dress I wanted to wear. The bright yellow one with a long skirt and little yellow flowers, or the light blue gown that my mother had gotten me when we had gone to a wedding?

"Petris!" I heard my mom call. "Hurry up and eat your breakfast! You slept too late."

I quickly threw the light blue one to the side and slipped on the yellow dress. It would have to do for now. Then I ran down to the kitchen and ate as fast as possible. I have two siblings; Rosa and Kyle. They're twins and annoy me so much.

"Petris, Can I have some more food? I'm still hungry." Whined Rosa. I rolled my eyes. " Seriously? Now? We have to go!" I pushed pass her and went to the door to get my shoes on.

When my family got there, we saw that we were some of the last people arriving. Oops!

I ran into line and got my finger pricked. We were just in time because as soon as I got to the area for my age, it began.

Blah blah this and blah blah that. I wished that she would just get to the point and select the names. After what seemed like forever, the names were finally drawn.

"And for the females, we have Petris Siversmith!" The lady, Delina I think, smiled at me as I climbed onto the stage. I smiled back but it was fake. Why did all the stupid capitol people think that the hunger games was a happy time? It made me so angry when they did that. Me and my family are all like that. Were're sometimes called 'The rebels of District two'.

Then came the boys. Who would it be? I payed attention to the first name only though. It was something like Razor. I had never heard of him but he was probably part of the poorer par t of district two.

"These are the tributes from district two!" Delina grinned. Yep. I bet this was the most exciting part of the Hunger Games. A couple of peacekeepers marched me into the justice building and I sat down on a leather couch. Then I waited.

My family burst through and I saw that Kyle and Rose were already crying. I know it would seem unusual that a family from one of the richest districts in Panem would be unhappy to see their child go to the games, but like I had said, we were the 'rebels'.

"I wish you weren't chosen." Whimpered Kyle. "I hope you win so that we can be together." Adds on Rose. I grasp their hands tightly. "I will win, don't you worry." I hug my parents and they're all marched out again.

Next, my best friend comes in. Alexandria Gibbs. We hug each other tightly but don't say anything. "I'm so sorry you'll have to go through this." She whispers. "Alex, I promise you that I will win, just like how I promised my family. Ok?" She nods but doesn't say anything. Alex isn't very talkative and is a rebel just like me.

She leaves right as a peacekeeper opens the door and I am left alone again. It takes all my willpower not to cry. I have to look strong to get sponsors. The peacekeepers come yet again and I am taken to the train station. I take a last look at my home before going inside.
