Today is reaping day. I don't feel like I'm ready for this. i have done this before. But something feels different. Maybe it is because my little brother can be reaped now. I am terrified. I don't want him to be in the Games, and I don't want to be in them either. The Capitol Escort has such a fake accent, and I find it funny how she says 'may the odds be ever in your favor.'

"Ladies first, as usual! Our female tribute is...Finch Worthy," the escort said. My heart is racing, fast. I'm done.

I slowly walk to the podium with the escort and wait for the boy to be reaped. He is 16, a year older than i. I think his name is Dan, I'm not sure. Right now I don't really care.

(Skip to last day of training)

Today I showed the Game makers what I could do. My mentor has really not provided any help to me whatsoever. Dan is not even smart.. He has no chance at winning. I don't either, but i at least acknowledge that. He tried to get in with the 'Careers,' but it didnt work. They kicked him to the curb.

"Finch! Hey, you wanna team up?" Dan says.

"I'm going solo. If you are desperate for someone, ask Katniss. She seems like she'll shoot you down too. Not like that hasn't happened," I snap. I am sick of him trying to act cool and trying to talk to me like we've known each other forever. I have my own plans. My tactic will hopefully work. Will it?
