I take a deep breath and frown as the lady carries on talking. "My name is Florence Chrysanthemum and I am your districts new escort for these games." She squeaks " since these are the first games I will explain how the Reaping will work. I will draw a name from each of these two bowls- boys and girls. I will read the names before asking if we have any volunteers. The people who reaped or volunteer will be entered into the Hunger Games. Fun, fun!"

Florence swallows an excited giggle and announces- " Now, for the selection. Ladies first!"
