Clove's Story 🥀

Chapter 2

I get to the Justice Building. I go to the 15-year-old section. We're separated by boys and girls. I see my friend Nova. I walk towards her. "Hey Clove," she says. "Hey," I respond. "So you're volunteering this year," she asks. "Yea, I can't wait. I'm excited but nervous." I say. "I wish you a lot of luck," She says. She also was saying something else but she got cut off by our escort. She played some random video from the capitol, then she went to pick the tribute from the girls. She stuck her hand in a huge glass ball filled with slips of paper. She was wearing the worlds ugliest outfit. It was pink and puffy. She has matching pink gloves and shoes. Her hair was in some crazy style. Her hair wasn't even a natural color. It was pink! She picked up the paper and read a name. I got distracted and I didn't hear. I just know it wasn't my name. "I volunteer," I scream so people can hear me. "Okay, come up sweety," she says into the microphone. The other girl who got called pushed me. "No, I'm going to be in the games this year," she says meanly. She's twice my size. She has blonde hair and dark brown eyes. I got up from the ground. I run and I barge into her shoulder. It hurt me a little but I continue running until I get onto the stage. "No, I am," I say. She looks really mad, but that's too bad. I'm already on the stage, and the escort asks for my name. "Clove Kentwell," I say into the microphone. "Thank you Clove," she says "now for the boys." She then again puts her hand into the glass bowl, but this time it's filled with boy names. She pulls out a name and reads it into the microphone. "Cato Hadley," she says. He's the cutest boy in the school. According to most of the girls in my school. He's one year older than me. He walks up to the stage. He seems happy so, no one bothers to volunteer. He has pretty blonde hair. He's really tall he has to be at least 6'2". You can see the excitement in his face. Too bad someone is going to have to kill him if I want to win. I have to be honest he is a bit cute.
