FACE CLAIM

HARVEY BURNELL- COLEMAN HIGBEE

District 10. The same day.

Harvey Burnell was one of those rare unfortunate souls who cold find himself in a sea of people and still feel totally alone. That was how he currently felt at the moment as he stood with the other eligible boys from District 10 as the reaping ceremony got underway. Harvey knew a great many of them as his classmates, but they cared very little for him.

The school that young Harvey attended was one of the most prestigious of the District; which naturally meant that it was for the rich kids. Luckily for Harvey, he was well off as his parents owned a successful livestock farm. Unluckily for Harvey, his parents had a favorite child and it was not he. That honor went to his elder brother of 4 years: Henry.

Henry was the heir who could do no wrong and Harvey was the mistake. It was bad enough that his family viewed him as such, but somehow, it spilled over into his school culture. His fellow students tolerated him at best and bullied him at worst. He'd never had any legit friends like his brother did.

"And now, boys and girls of district 10; we will find out which of you lucky lads and lasses will have the honor of representing your district in the one hundred and twenty first annual Hunger Games!" The handed for District 10 said after the film was finished. "Ladies first!" He ran his hand through the girl's bowl, pulled out a slip of paper and read the name aloud. It was a 17 year old girl that went to Harvey's school. She had always been particularly nasty to him, so Harvey wasn't choked up to see her being reaped. As much as he didn't like it, a small part of him hoped that Henry spoils be reaped as well; it was his last year of eligibility for the reaping.

"And now, for the boys..." the handler continued as he reached into the other bowl and pulled out a name. "Harvey Burnell!" Everyone turned to look at the boy who was feeling half and half at that moment. A part of Harvey was beyond pissed and hurt that he was being condemned to die, but the other part of him wasn't truly surprised that he had been reaped; Harvey had always been dealt shit hands, why should this one be any different?

Harvey walked up to the podium and shook hands with his co tribute. The sounds of the handler proclaiming gratitude for their courage and sacrifice were fading away as Harvey could hardly think about anything except that no one was said to see him potentially go to his doom; if anything, they were most likely glad to see him go so that he would no longer be a burden on their lives.
