Different Districts

Chapter 5? Part 3

Note: I kinda forgot Foxface so... Here!

Foxface (District 12)

I wake up to the sounds of Birds chirping outside my window.

"Finch?" My little sister Ana calls.

"Wha-?" I say sleepily.

"Mum said to get ready. Reaping." Ana says.

Then the thought hits me.

"Today's reaping day! Oh, no. Ana your only 10, right?" I ask urgently.

"Yeah. 10." Ana says.

"Good. Good." I say relived.

"Finch! There's a dress for you." My mom says.

I jump out of he'd and hurry to the table where the food awaits. On my chair lies a deep green dress.

"Mom, you wouldn't." I say.

"Take it." She says handing me it.

I turn to my room and slip off my ratty dress.

"What to wear with it?" I ponder.

I look at the dress and sigh.

"Come on, have courage! Put it on!" I tell myself.

I look at it again and slip it on. The soft green silk stands out on my mud plastered skin. I twirl around a few steps admiring myself.

"Finch! Reaping." Mom says.

I look out in the hall and run bare footed to the reaping.

"And now, to pick our tributes!" The pink haired escort exclaims.

"Like we want to!" Hisses Jen in my ear.

"Jack Lindon!" The Escort calls.

A bit walks up.

"And Finch Fox!"
