He caught my eye, winked and put a sugar cube in his mouth. "Same old Finn!" I whisper to my sister Oriah. I know she can't hear me but it's comforting even so. It's our 4th reaping, she tells me she's used to it but deep down I know she's just as scared as me. Moping Mariah, thats my name. It's not my fault, I can't help it! I'm just soooo scared that my name will be chosen! But even if I did, Uncle Finnick would be there to help me get through it. But I can't think like that, none of us can.
"Welcome Welcome! As we celebrate the 73rd annual Hunger Games!" Our escort Veronica exclaims, in her stupid Capitol accent. It took everything I was not to laugh her of the stage!! But I mean, she did look ridiculous! Her hair looked like a blue fur ball, with streaks of pink and white complimenting her orange skin perfectly! Her clothes were made out of... Paper??! Is that right??! How weird!! And her accent, well let me just tell you it sounded like a cat trying to sing.... In other words, it was HORRIBLE!!
"Now before we begin the exiting adventure we have a video all the way from the Capitol!" Her voice boomed from the microphone, it's was obvious she was waiting for some kind of response. So my friends and I started cheering and clapping wildly! "Great way to make allies if your chosen dufus!" Said a cocky voice from behind me. UGHHHHHHH! Alisha.... How I hate her! I simply pulled a face at her and turned my attention back to the screen. I know the words of by heart now, they show us the same video EVERY year. To be honest, I'm sick of it! So instead I imagine a knife being thrown at Veronica... Such fun!
When the video FINALLY ends, she straightens her wig and takes her place next to the pool of names.
"Now the time has come where we choose two courageous young man and woman to represent District 4 in The Hunger Games!" She squeals... She's obviously VERY exited!
"As usual, Ladies First!" She announces before shoving her hand into the pool. She has trouble grabbing one due to her fake nails, but after about 5 minutes, she finally grabs hold of one! I barely have time to hold my breath before the name is read out.
It's not me. It's Oriah Odair....
