So people have been saying that I am very good at writing but I don't know well here is District 3's Reaping!
Disclaimer: I do not own the hunger games or these tributes. But I think that both the hunger games and these tributes are just amazing so I hope you enjoy reading this chapter as much as I have writing it!
District 3 Reaping
Ariana Valentine age 16 POV
I grab my diary of my end side table turn on my lamp and begin to write...
Dear dad,
I know that I never knew you, because of mom's one night stand in all.
But I'm sure that I would have loved you like any daughter would love
their father. If only I could have known you then I wouldn't have to
continuously pray each and every night hoping that you would find me,
and Frankie and adopt us as your own...
"What'cha writing Ariana?"
I look up from my diary and my chocolate brown eyes meet those gorgeous baby blue ones. I only know of one person with such perfect color of eyes. Tyler Pierce my best friend. Secretly ever since I can remember I have had the biggest crush on him. I'm just too afraid to tell him how I feel. I push a strand of my bright red hair behind my ear before speaking.
"Oh nothing, just a letter to my dad, wherever he is" I say peering out the window
"You will find him, I promise." Tyler says trying to convince me that everything is going to be okay but I know that he is just trying to make me feel better.
"No I won't and you know it my dad could live in another district for all I know" I said as a tear starts rolling down my cheek.
"No no no, don't start crying on me Ariana." Tyler wipes away my tear.
I'm not just crying because I have no idea where or who is my father, but also because of my mom. Two weeks after my brother Frankie moved out of the house and into his own apartment. My mother passed away and I was sent to a care home. Since my brother was only 19, and wasn't 21 yet. I could't live with him so that's why I'm here. This is the exact same room that I met Tyler in two years ago.
"Come on children we don't want to be late for the reaping" Tyler walked out of the room and I followed.
Bryson Clint age 15 POV
"Tyson you get back here with that!" I said screaming at my super annoying younger brother.
"Get back with what?" he says acting all innocently.
"You know what my picture of Lylla"
"I't kinda weird that you have a picture of you Girlfriend in your wallet don't you think?" he asks putting emphasis on the word girlfriend
"Lylla is not my girlfriend and you know that!" I say starting to yell again
"Oh you wish she was"
I know that voice my older sister Skylla I turn around and I can see that she's smirking
"Pshh no I don't" (If you couldn't tell that was a lie :P)
"Oh yes you..."
(Ding Dong)
Skylla was going to finish but the doorbell interrupted her I looked out the window to see who it was and it was Techno and Lylla. Oh crap Lylla! I quickly open the door.
"Dude I love your t-shirt" Techno says motioning towards my Mario bro's shirt.
"I'm gonna go grab a glass of water kay?"
Techno leaves the room for a while now here's my chance to do something cool in front of Lylla so I lean against a chair in a awesome pose.
"Sooooooo"
And of course the chair just had to move so I ended up with a face full of rug Lylla started giggling. Hey maybe I am doing something right? Techno comes back into the room with a glass of water and a bowl of chips. Man that dude is always eating all of our food. after i tell him that to put the chips away we walk to the reaping.
Ariana Valentine's POV
As soon as Tyler and I got to the town square we met up with some of our other friends from the care home John and Chase and some others. Yeah so I never really got close to the girls in the care home because they are all so high maintenance with they're faces covered in nothing but make up and they're constant talking about clothes and boys. Uh they make me escort Tilly comes out onto the stage.
"Ladies first" she sings in a strange tone
"And the lucky lady is... Darcey Madricus!"
Oh no not Darcey she's only twelve she wouldn't survive a moment in those violent games she couldn't hurt a fly much less kill someone! Then I made the biggest mistake of my life.
"I volunteer"
Lot's of different things are happening at that moment Tyler and the guys are looking at me shocked I see a tear running down Tyler's cheek. Darcey is looking relieved but scared for me and pretty much everyone else is staring at me eyes wide. Peacekeepers come at my sides and suddenly i can't believe those words came out of my mouth what was i thinking there was no way I was coming out of that arena alive.
"What is your name dear?" Tilly asks me.
"Ariana Valentine."
But alas you can't volunteer for a volunteer after a volunteer volunteers. Wait that makes no sense uh the nerves are already getting to me.
"What have I done?" I whisper to myself
Bryson Clint's POV
The girl on the platform looks older than me. Our escort Tilly makes her way over to the boys bowl and pulls out a paper on this paper is a name of a boy that is about to go into the deadly arena
"And the boy that will be joining Ariana is... Bryson Clint"
No, are my ears deceiving me or did I actually get reaped I get a push on my shoulder from Techno so I guess it was the second one but my life was going perfect how could it take a turn so bad as this? Techno pushes me again telling me to go get on the platform. I finally get it I was reaped I have to go into that arena and fight to the death in the hunger games.
"A bit slow today isn't he?" Tilly asks in a arrogant tone
"Your tributes for district three Bryson Clint and Ariana Valentine" she raises our arms as if we have won a championship or something.
This is the worst day of my entire life.
