Recap: I dream a lovely dream, Katniss is finally mine! But then it happens.....
The mine, the explosion... it all happens so fast. The Seam is covered in a thick layer of dust. Screams all over, people coughing. Then I see her, I run over to her. "Katniss!", I scream, "Katniss!!", her heart stops.
I wake up to find my mother's hand striking my face, "Hush boy! It ain't time to wake up yet!", that's mom for ya, always wanting her sleep. She finally leaves. Sigh. I start to get dressed even though I have quite sometime before the reaping. I get to the bakery, only to find my mother has taken the keys, knowing I would come here. I was to stupid to realize that because of the reaping there would be no work, no school, and no play. Today I have to look my best.
I walked the long walk back home to find my mother taking advantege of our no work day. I go to the bathroom and quickly strip down to climb into the tub. It's so small, I have to cram into it, but it's all we can afford. I scrub all over to clean myself to look good for the cameras. I climb out and sh ke myself like a dog. I quickly run to my room and start to look for something decent. All clothes in District 12 are drab and dull. I find the only 'nice' top I own and my Sunday best trousers. It's 12:00, in 1 hours we are all due in the town square for the reaping. It's mandatory unless your on death's door.
+++++++++++++++1HOUR LATER!!+++++++++++++++
Effie Trincket walks on the makeshift stage and looks at us all in disgust. " Welcome, welcome!", she says. She looks a little more plump then last year. She talks about the history, then Haymitch-the most recent victor(30 years ago) decides to show up and staggers on stage. Drunk. She rambles on a little more, then finally proceedes to show the video that is shown every year. I sight out Katniss, she and Gale are having a conversation without words. I think he's mouthing 'War terrible war'. " Now now everyone, the time has come to pick our tributes for district 12!! Ladies first!", She walks over the glass ball with 1000's of names, 1 is Prim's, and about 24 are Katniss's.
She feels around the ball for what seems like eternity but is only seconds. She pulls out 2 names and drops 1 back in. She unfolds the paper, I swear I could hear a pin drop. "Primrose Everdeen"
