Clove P.O.V
I liked living here in district 2. Compared to all the other districts who were fighting against starvation, disease and lack of money, we were quite well off. Being closest to Capitol we had enough money, enough food, weren't starving due to lack of food. My life was all planned out for me at 17 years old. I was already engaged to my boyfriend, Cato; the wedding was planned for in 3 months. Just enough time to pick out the perfect dress, make the decorations, decide on the cake, invite the guests; the list just goes on forever. Everything was looking up for me. Until the day of the reaping.
"Clove, wear your blue dress, the one with the lace going around your waist. You know, the one I made for your 17th birthday" My mother said to me in a frenzy at breakfast. I had washed my hair and I let it lie loose down my back in dark brown waves.
"Yes, don't worry, I will" Don't worry, I kept thinking to myself. My name is in the reaping much less than lots of people in my district. There is such a small chance that I will be chosen it is just silly for me to worry.
Knock knock
I knew exactly who it was. He promised to come and see me before the reaping. To try and calm me down, I think.
Cato P.O.V
I brought her into a hug, whispering to her "You won't get chosen, don't worry, you won't get chosen" repeatedly in her ear, while she snuggled into my chest.
She broke away.
"Thanks, I needed that" she sighed. "I just want this day to be over."
"I know" I whispered to her. We all do.
And with that final word I took her hand, and together, we walked hand in hand to the reaping.
