The day it began

Newts POV -

I woke up, panicked, the day of the reaping. And the odds weren't exactly in my favour.

I looked over at my sister , Lizzie, depite being younger she had allways been the tough one, the one that held my hand when the peacekeepers came round for inspections. She was 13 so thankfully she only had two entries, I refused to let her sign up for tesserae, so she didnt have her name in more than necessary. If she went into the arena, everything inside me would break and never be put back together. I had to do everything in my power to prevent this. Tesserae is the capitals way of putting another divider between the rich and poor. In exchange for a years supply of grain and oil for one person, the unlucky child has to have more entries in the hunger games. I had signed up for terassae as me and my family couldn't survive without it, meaning I had 25 entreis in total, so whatever effee trinkit says the odds arent 'ever in my favour'.

I slowly hauled myself out of bed, avioding the mirror, not wanting to see my sad eyes and starved body. I quickly left the house, leaving a letter. Me and minho had decided to meet up before the reaping began, just incase it was our last time. The streets were quiet and empty, this was the only day of the year that the miners were off, may asswell get a lie in if you can. It seemed to be slightly too sunny for the day of the reaping, it felt as if the world should be crying with us. Just as I reached the square I saw a strong and muscled figure in the distance, Minho. My walk turned into a jog as i ran to meet my best friend.

"Hiya shank" Minho grinned, he could never take anything seriously, even the reaping, though most of the time I enjoyed his sence of humour, I wasn't in the mood today.
"Hi" I said back sadly, brushing Minho's questioning look of.
"I know watta cheer ya up" Minho said nudging my shouder with his eyebrowsed raised
"what is that" I said with a moking grin, deciding to play along.
"so their is this girl..."
"you can choose any other day of the bloody year to spy on some random girl but you choose today" I snap, feeling bad immeadiatly after for overeacting to a joke.
"sorry" i try again, "I'm just worried about my sister getting chosen, you know." I couldn't care less about myself, the only reason I was here today was to make sure my sisiter was okay.
"so.....ya wanna see that girl"
"sure" I reply, giving in to Minho's worried gaze. The truth is I never really liked any of the girls that Minho was constinatley pointing out to me, sure they were pretty but I never thought I'd want to kiss them let alone be with them. I would never tell anyone that though. I was sure their was something wrong with me.

Minho had been going on about this 'katniss' girl for some time, he constantly talked about her. I remember being little, holding my mums hand when she came up to us trying to sell old baby clothes. But since then we had never talked, not even acknowledged eachothers existence. It wasnt untill now Minho decided it was his duty to get me a girlfriend. We talked for a while after that before going home to get ready for the reaping.

Little did I know it was the day that would change my life.
