The 175 annual hunger games

District 7 reaping

Dawn Bradley's P.O.V

"Abby, are we still wearing the matching dress?"
Today is my 3rd reaping, my twin sister, Abby, aren't that nervous. Our family is fine with money so we don't have to put our name in the tribute bowl to get food or other things like that.
"Yeah, we are going to look so great!"
I love how comfortable she is with me, Abby is really shy around people so it's a good thing she won't be going into the games, even if she did get picked I would volunteer, she means the world to me I would never let her get hurt.
I take my cute turquoise dress out of the closet, it goes perfectly with my sandy blond hair, well I should say our sandy blond hair, Abby and I look exactly alike except for the tattoo of a leaf I got on my thumb but nobody really notices it.
The dress fits perfectly, I wish our mom was here to see it. She died when we were 5 and so now our dad is never around, he works so much because we need to fill in the work for 2 people.
"Dawn, can you please bring me my earrings?"
"Ooo are you planning on talking to Philix?" She had had a crush on a guy named Philix ever since they were in the same class, so for about 4 years. He really helped her get out of her shell, at least a little.
When we step out the door it's so bright, for the first time in about 2 days we are outside. Abby and I have been spending time picking what dress we should wear, we always wear matching clothes it's so funny when people mix us up.
We reach the square around the time that every one else does so waiting in line to get out fingers pricked sucks, but it gives me time to calm Abby down, she is really sensitive and is afraid of the needles.
"Hello my dazzling district three." Oh here we go again, the video about the rebellion. Our announcers name is Crumpet, I always poke Abby when somebody says that and we giggle.
Crumpet steps up to the mike and begins, "Well we mustn't waste any time we are all so very exited."
She walks over to the girls bowl first and rolls her hand around the names.
"Abby Bradley."
I stood there for a second staring at Abby she hadn't moved a muscle.
"I VOLUNTEER!"
Crumpet grinned, "Oh how wonderful, but you both must come up and share the glory. Come come."
Neither of us moved, I completely forgot about the new rules how there are now 3 from every district.
Peacekeepers came over to us and dragged up to the stage and kept a firm grip on us while Crumpet walked over to the boys bowl.
"Brayan Shine"
Oh god, he is that idiot who set his house on fire for the publicity, now his mom is in a coma and the dad got sent to the capital to become a slave so he could pay for the hospital expenses. He would do anything to win just so he can get the glory. He will get lots of sponsors for his looks, I can see his sharp green eyes from here. He looked straight into my eyes as if I was his target, I know we won't be in an alliance. I cant be in an alliance with somebody who looks at me like im his next meal.
I heard I whimper from Abby and squeezed her hand, there are always 2 victors in the new rule games, it has to be us.
