25th Hunger Games -First Quarter Quell-

Chapter 1

   " Jewles come in its getting dark outside" my mother had called me from inside the kitchen. I took a deep sigh and threw one last knife before going inside. My house was really big, but i live in district 1 what do you expect. I walk up to my room to go and change out of my dirty clothes and get into come new and fresh ones. I walk into the kitchen and a fresh smell of dried plums and cheese buns fills my nose. I take my seat across my annoying brother and ugly girlfriend. I roll my eyes at them because they are litterally eating each others faces. "you know instead of making out how about you throw some weapons" i call out to my brother. My brother actually stops for a second and says "get a life" and then Savera -his girlfriend- says "haha little sister jelous because she's sixteen and doesnt have a boyfriend boo hoo" then they go back to eating each other. Its true im sixteen and i dont have a boyfriend.

      Whenever we finish dinner Savera goes back home and i go up to my room. I brush my teeth get into some really cute pjs and jump into bed. Its only 9:30 but i guess go to sleep early for the reaping. I sleepily close my eyes and go into a dreameless sleep.

     Whenever i wake up i hear yelling and screaming. It must be my mother and father they've been fighting lately. I tiredly get out of bed and change into my outside clothes and walk down the staris. I grab my boots, knives and a few spears and head outside. I go to a tree and start praticing throwing my knives and spears. Each time i throw one it lands straight on target, unlike Bangle -my brother- whenever hes not making out he usaully hits it way off.

     A few hours later my father calls me to come in. Whenever i enter my mom tells me to go and get ready for the reaping. I run up the stairs and see theres a baby pink dress on my bed and some white wedges right next to it. I go into my bathroom and put on my makeup that matches what im wearing. I get dressed and head downstaris. I place myself on the couch and pull out my little hand mirror. I make sure i look good and i make a checklist.

Hair curls - checked

Makeup done - checked

Nails and toes done - checked

   We walk to the little closed off section in front of the justic buliding and then we sign in.  I walk to where the girls sixteen year olds are and talk about how cool it would be to be a career in the hunger games. We are interrupter when the mayor starts to talk about the lame war that happened and then shows us a lame video. I start to pay attetion whenever Silver Trinket (sound fimilar) calls out "Ladies first". She walks over to the glass ball and pulls out a slip of paper. Please be me please be me i say to myself. Then Silver calls out "Jewles Brandsford"
