Reaping:

I woke up on the morning of the most dreadful day of the year. Reaping day. Kids in District 10 wake up bright and early even though our reaping isn't until later in the day. Because of this fact we have to go to school today. I pull myself out of bed and put on a pair of leggings and a ratty shirt because besides my reaping dress it is the nicest thing I own. I brush my hair, pull it into a fishtail, and walk to the kitchen. My family waits there for me. My family consists of my mother and father as well as my brother Bobby who is 19 and therefore can't be reaped. We also have a dog named Molly who jumps up and licks me. I eat my slice of bread and walk to school which is full of tension. Soon it is time to go get ready for the reaping. I run home and have a bath. Then I put my hair in a Dutch braid and put on my reaping dress. It is a blue dress that reaches my toes which I'm ok with because I don't own any shoes. I then hug my parents and run to the square. I get my blood drawn and walk to the 16 year old section. My heart is pounding in my ears I am so nervous. Our escort Jayda Whitehead walks onstage and starts her spial and puts on the video. I tune her out because who the hell cares. We would all die anyway. When she sticks her hand in the bowl and pulls out Alyssa Jones she has my attention however. I put on my brace face and walk to the stage standing tall and forever determined to return home to District 10.
