Alexis Cryde, 18, D2F
Oh great, it's reaping day. My favourite say of the year besides my birthday of course. Today is the day I enter the games, in recent years District 2 haven't been doing so well. In the last ten years District two's tributes have only made the top eight once. We haven't had a victor for a while, but I plan to break that streak; I'm going to show the world why District two is the best district. I've been training my whole life for this, with my swords and all, it's going to be so easy.
"Come on Alexis, today is your big day!" My mom shouts. I throw on a pretty blue dress and leave with my mom. My dad died when I was five so it's just me and my mom. I stand with the eighteen year old girls. The new escort for district two takes the stage. "Welcome District two to the one hundred and twenty fourth annual Hunger games!" He says rather cheerfully. We haven't seen him in our life. He's wearing a blue suit and has his hair swept backwards. "My name of Joe and I'll be picking, let's start with the girls shall we?" He announces.
He reaches into the girls bowl and takes out a slip. Before he can read out the name I raise my hand and shout. "I volunteer as tribute!" Joe doesn't look surprised and the Peacekeepers march me to the stage where I stand at the microphone. "My name is Alexis Cryde!" I announce. Now all of Panem knows the name of their next District two victor.
Mitchell John, 17, D2M
I grin to myself as I finish combing my hair, it looks pretty good if I may say. People always say they like my hair, it's curly but I like to comb it. Today is going to be a special day for me, the day I volunteer to go into the games. Why wouldn't I be? After my great showing with the throwing knives of course I'll be District two's next victor. No one will stop me, none of the lower districts nor the Capitol. I've been a career since I was eight and soon people will know me as 'The Victor of the one hundred and twenty fourth annual Hunger games.' My legend starts at this reaping. I put my brush down and leave with my family. I have two little sisters, one of them is twelve and going through career training and the other one is ten and going through career training.
I get the reaping and they get my blood sample and register me. I go over and stand with the other seventeen year old boys, I have a grin on my face. My friend Nico who is next to me asks why I'm smiling.
"Because I'm going to volunteer. And when I volunteer I'm going to win, just like I've always wanted." I reply.
"But don't you want to wait until you're eighteen?" He asks me. I shake my head.
"Nah, with my awesome throwing knife skills I can take out anyone and anything. Trust me I'm going to be the next victor."
Joe then walks out on the stage, some girl volunteers and then he reaches into the boys bowl. Before he can call out the name my hand shoots up in the air and I yell. "I volunteer!" I practically bound up on stage and snatch the microphone from Joe and say. "My name is Mitchell John and District two is going to have their first victor!" With that me and Alexis shake hands and we go into the justice building.
