George's POV

I am in the center of town. My school, if it could even be called that, is about a mile away. Every day, I have to get up earlier and walk five miles to school, and I hate it. Between school and the Reapings, my life pretty much sucks. I live in District 12, the poorest district in Panam. The Capitol thinks they can take our coal, and then pay us back by forcing our youth to kill each other. Absolutely not. I am going to be the one to to stop that bullshit. But first, I have to go to school. Learn about past kids who have innocently died. Its messed up. But, unless you are a Victor, you must go to school until you are eighteen, and safe from the Games.(Correct me if I'm wrong about the age.) I am twelve, though. So I can be Reaped. My brother was Reaped, when I was eight. That's when I decided to stop the Capitol from killing innocent kids. But, I have to remain focused on school, for now. When I walk in to school, two random people are kissing right in front of my locker. When I get there, they walk away like nothing ever happened. I meet up with my friend, Luke, at the door of my first period class, History Of The Districts. I hate it sooo much. "Hey George. How is your day."

"Shitty. Its Reaping Day."

"Not just Reaping Day, its the 4th Quarter Quill."

"Just fabulous." I say, sarcastically.

"It can't be that bad."

"We could be Reaped! That's as bad as it gets."

"We get out of school early."

I face palm myself as I walk to the door.

TIME SKIP TO REAPING

Luke's POV

I stand next to my friend, George, in the gym waiting on them to call names. This year, the second Tribute is picked by the first. So I hope no one picks me. The principal walks out on the stage and puts her hand in the bowl to pick the first tribute. "George Combs." He says. Beside me, he starts to cry as he walks to the stage. The principal tells him to pick someone to be the second tribute. Nervous , he says into the microphone,"Luke Hicks" I cry a single tear as I walk to the stage. My best friend just sent me to die.
