Reaping
Chapter 3
Today I wake up. Well, duh. Today is the reaping. I try to act normal, and not be worried, but even Katniss says I look pale. Gale comes over and reassures me that I'll be OK and even if I'm chosen, I will win. I like him for that. His encouragement, and strength. He helps me while Katniss is hunting. I put on my dress, and stand in front of a mirror. '' You look beautiful." Katniss says taking my hair. I smile and turn around d and hug her. I feel tears in my eyes. "You won't get chosen, I promise." Katniss says, warmly. I nod and walk out of the room. Gale says he loves my dress, and hugs me. They act so solemn. Poor me. We walk out with mother and go toward where the reaping takes place. Many people are there already, and we shuffle through the crowd. We wait a little bit, so others can join us. Effie Trinket is there in her wig. Hideous. She began her speach:
"Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today we will select the 24 tributes, which will fight for their lives and their districts to win the 74th annual Hunger Games. I’m happy to be here and that should each of y’all be too.
Some time ago, our nation had to stand earthquakes, floods and storms, but we were strong and our country originated from the ashes. But then, the Capitol and its 13 districts, which are surrounding it, grew and the districts rebelled. So the capitol had to defeat this rebellion and district 13 was destroyed. So that anything like that will never happen again, we invented the Hunger Games. Each of the 12 districts has to offer a boy and a girl in the age of 12 and 18.
I hope that one day our children can live together in peace and without violence.
Now I wish good luck to the districts and its tributes! Now ladies first!"
Tension is set in the crowd and my heart beats fast.
"Primrose Everdeen" WHAT? Me? How? I stand there not knowing what to do. "Is Primrose Everdeen here?" Effie asks. I walk forward bit I hear Katniss's voice. "I volunteer! I volunteer!" She screams pushing past me. I grab on to her screaming. She cannot go! She cannot leave me! I'll be dead in less than a week! I scream until I feel hands pull me away. I kick now. Its Gale. How could he? Katniss walks up, terrified. "And you are?" Asks Effie. "K-k-Katniss Everdeen." She says. Effie says more but I'm not listening. My sister. Katniss. My hero. A tribute? She will leave me alone. How could she?
