Random hunger games fanfic chapter 1

~Here's my completely random hunger games fanfic!! Enjoy!!~

I woke up and got out of bed, the warm morning light beaming through the window. I went to the bathroom, only half aware of my surroundings, as I was half asleep, and got ready for the day. I had a shower, brushed my teeth and soon woke up. When my brain finally switched on, I realised the horrible fact.

Today was my first reaping.

I ran out onto the streets of district 3. I had to see my friend before the reaping. I had slept in, meaning less time to relax and do nothing, so instead of meeting at 9, we had to meet at 11. I got to her house and knocked on the door. It was answered by here big brother Mateo.

"Yo," he said, looking at me. "You're really late, and your hair is messed up."

I quickly combed through it with my hands.

"Is Jen home?" I asked.

"Uh huh. JEN, RILEY'S HERE!!!" He called out, his voice booming all over her house. Jen ran Down the stairs.

"Riley!" She said, hugging me, "I thought you weren't going to come!"

"No, I just slept in. I wanted to visit you before the reaping. It's starting soon."

"Do you want to go out before we go?" She asked. I nodded. We had just turned 12, and this was our first reaping. We were pretty nervous. We had no idea what to expect. I was just expecting the worst.

We hung around town for a while before we were called to get ready for reaping. We both ran home as fast as we could.

"Do you remember our agreement?" Jen called out.

"Yep!" I answered "if you're reaped, I'll volunteer, if I am, you will!!"

"Exactly!" She said, and she ran off.

I ran off and got ready with my mum in this ugly pink dress thing. My hair was put up in this purple bow. blech.

We set off to the reaping after that, my mum mumbling nervously and my dad comforting her, or at least trying. I walked off into the designated area and waited next to Jen.

"I'm guessing your mum was in charge of your outfit?" she said

"Yeah." I replied. then the Capitol anthem started, and Orania walked onto the stage. he was always so depressed, unlike district twelve's announcer. but I guess he did have a reason to be sad, choosing the kids to send into a fight for the death.

"Welcome everyone," he sighed. "let's get this over with."

He pulled the first name out of the boys bowl.

"The male tribute for district 3 is Mateo Etlanson." Jen gasped.

"Ma...Mateo..." she whispered.

"Don't worry," I said, trying hard to sound reassuring "he's tough. He'll probably win!" I'm not actually sure he will, but it seems to help Jen.

"And the female tribute is," Orania continues "Riley Silos."
