Tris POV:

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I moaned and lay in bed for a while until I heard Caleb calling me,
"Tris! Come on! It's reaping day!"
I jumped out of bed and put on a black crop top and some skinny jeans, I wore my black boots and headed downstairs. Caleb was sitting, finishing eating breakfast.
"Tris you are late, there's no time for food! We got to go." Caleb bugged me. Sometimes it seems like he is acting like my dad. We said our goodbyes and we ran all the way to the town square. Every year there's a game called 'the hunger games'. Someone would pick 12 girls names and 12 boys names out of a bowl. They would then compete/kill 24 people, 12 girls and 12 boys, and there is only one winner. I always get scared of these.

I see a tall, boy lining up. I recognise him and realise it's Four. He is with another boy called Zeke and, I assume Fours girlfriend, Lauren. I don't like Lauren, I think she is cheating on him, once I even saw her with Peter, kissing. I felt sorry for Four as he didn't know about her cheating on him.I always had a crush on him but I don't know if he likes me back. I watch him for a while until he looks at me. I look away and walk towards my friends. I see Christina with Will chatting together and walk towards them.
"Hey Tris!" Christina shrieks at me.
Sometimes she is a nice friend but sometimes she can be loud and annoying.
"Oh hi Tris." Will said shyly and smiled.
I smiled at both of them and said hi back. Will and Christina are going out, they are cute together but Christina isn't scared of the hunger games (which is weird) and Will is frightened of it. I can see he is scared to be chosen. Someone starts talking and we all shut up and listen. She must of been talking for ages as she is about to pick everyone.
"Ladies first." she says.
I get a sickly feeling as she is about to call them out...
