As i pulled on my best clothes my heart was pounding and sweat was dripping down my face. Its the day of the reaping.

The whole of district 12 gathered in the square outside the justice building . Effie Trincket stepped up onto the stage in her ridiculous dress and shoes. Her wig was a horrible pink colour that was probably adored in the capital.

All was silent as her disgusting fake nails reached into the girls ball and grabbed a slip of paper. "And the first tribute from district 12 is" she piped in her squeaky voice, i could feel the tension " Primrose Everdeen!" As she walked towards the stage i could see her sister Katniss running up to her screaming " i volunteer, i volunteer." Effies face lit up in surprise and the crowd were so quiet you could here a pin drop.

It was time for a boys name to be picked. I crossed my fingers and prayed i wouldnt get picked. "And the second tribute going into the Hunger Games is... " i was so nervous, my hands were shaking and i was so hot butter would have melted in my hands. ".... Peeta Mellark!"

I only relised when i was being pushed towards the stage. I could feel tears welling in my eyes but i knew i musn't cry, if i did then it would show i was weak and an easy target. I tried hard but one or two tears escaped just before we were pushed into the justice building by peacekeepers.

I am in the Hunger Games.
