Thalia's POV

The reaping is today, the fear from everyone is there, everyone hoping they don't get picked, including me.

My little sister comes in my room running and hugs me. She's 12, her first year going to the reaping. We live in district 12, a very poor district, people starve and die all the time here.

my little sister hugs me tightly then releases me and says "I'm scared", I look at her and say "I know, the first year is scary but you won't get picked". I hear footsteps as she leaves my room. my mom called from the door and my friend Amina walks in, she's ready for the reaping. she's wearing a pale pink dress and the necklace I gave her when we became friends, it is a necklace locket, a picture of her and me lays inside. I can tell she's nervous but she tries to hide it.

She sits beside me until I start to get ready. I put on a light blue dress with little flowers stitched in. When I finish me and Amina walk to my kitchen. I have some berries for breakfast, I wasn't that hungry cause my nerve was getting to me, my stomach already hurts and we're not even there.

I love to hunt. my mom taught me how, she always loved bow and arrow and so do I. I'm actually pretty good at it, I practice a lot. I made my own wooden bow and mom made the arrows. I find it calming running through the forest shooting my bow most kids would think humming Is calming but that's not me. how I just wish I could run to the forest right now and not come back but then I open my eyes and I'm back in reality. Amina talking to my mom and my sister kylia, Amina and I all walk together to the reaping.

When we get to the square they prick our fingers and I walk over to the 14 year old section. I look over at the 15 year old section and spot Amina. she mouths you won't get picked. I think about for a cold hard three minutes. the words bouncing in my head with her gentile voice. I'm still thinking If I get chosen until a voice blooms out of a speaker. "welcome! welcome welcome!" Effie trinket says. she's been our escort for so long I bet she hides her wrinkles with make up. "The time has come to select one young man and woman, in honor of representing district 12 in the 100th annual hunger games" she says so enthusiastically and full of excitement. she says "lady's first" and walks over to the big glass bowl. she waves her hand so dramatically until she finally pics one and walks back to the mike. before reading out loud she stares at the paper for 5 seconded then says "Thalia woodland" out loud. I think to myself I feel sorry for that girl who got chosen and then realize that that's me. I walk up to the stage wobbly and looking as pale as I've ever been and she says " now for the boys" she walks over to the bowl, pics a name, and walks back to the mike and says "Bryce smith". I hear it echo out through the whole square. I locate where he is and see him walking up. he's 15, has green eyes and scruffy brown hair. I've never really seen him before I don't think. " our tributes are Thalia woodland and Bryce smith, happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favor!" she squeals through the mike.

We are rushed back into a room, I feel like my life is over, like ill never see anyone again and everything's over. then I think to myself I could win I'm good with a bow I'm the 2nd fastest sprinter in our school, I could do this but I need to think. I sit on a small leather couch and think and don't realize my mom come in with my sister. they both run up and hug me, I say "I'm alright, I'm fine" when I'm actually not. they comfort me as much as they can saying like "oh don't worry you can win your strong" and "it's ok you can do it" but sadly it doesn't comfort me, a peacekeeper comes in and says its time for them to go but my sister wraps her arms tight around me and the peacekeeper has to come pry her off of me, I yell "ill try my best!" Then the door slams behind them and I'm left alone. I feel my hair and see its all tangled, I try to fix it. The silent breaks when Amina brakes the silence by saying "are you ok?" then walks over and hugs me not releasing for 1min. She sits beside me and says "you can do this, I know you can", I look up at her and she says "remember when I met you? we would always talk about if this ever happened we would be prepared, you can use a bow, you can do this" she says, I try to say something but nothing comes out of my mouth. I manage to get out "you were always the leader" she looks at me and says "it doesn't matter to me you were the leader in hunting, look I know you can do this". she reaches into her pocket and holds in her hand the locket we both have. a peacekeeper comes in, Amina gives me one more hug and then she's gone.

Me and Bryce are rushed to the train. in a few blinks, I'm already in the train and it starts to move. I run to my booth in the train and start to cry and think to myself, is this the last ill see of district 12?
