Maya Moores P.O.V.

"MAYA GET UP!!!!!" Yells my 19 year old sister Jada. She never likes being late, for anything. Even though todays the reaping and I might have to go into an arena full of people trying to kill me it's all about being on time. When I see the dress laid out for me I knew e had opposite senses of style. She had laid out a long sleeve gray dress That goes up to my ankles. Uh, no thank you. Instead I picked out a navy blue dress that ends at my knees. " What happened to that lovely dress I got you?" Said Jada. " I prefer to wear this I say. I leave the room befor she can say anything else.

I walk out the door and meet up with my best friend Bessie. We walk in silence until I say "You're not gonna volunteer for me if I get reaped,right?". "Of course not since you don't want me to" She says with a smile. We go stand with the other 15 year olds just as Lele Love walks on stage. " Welcome district 5 what an honour it is to be here" Wow. An honor to be here? It's an honour to be in district one, not here. "Our lucky female tribute is, Maya Moores." Wait. That's me. I walk up on stage like a career would and take my place. "Any volunteers?" Asks Lele. I pray someone volunteers, but I don't let it show. You can here a pin drop in the square, there's no one willing to take my place. I smile but inside i'm devastated. I wait until she says it's time for the boys then I completely zone out.

Mike Murdocks P.O.V.

I pace back and fourth over and over again. All I can think about is the reaping, what if I'm picked? I don't know willing to volunteer for me, that's sorta of a problem. But there's thousands of slips. I get dressed in a navy blue button down top and cream pants. I walk out the door and get ready for what could be the worst day of my life.My older brother died in the 4th games so that's why I really hate them, for all I know the draw could be rigged to have my name pulled.

I stand with all the other 17 year olds and completely blank out as our escort, some clown gets on stage. " our lucky female tribute is Maya Moores". The girl that walked looked

like a career. " Now our male tribute is Mike Murdock". I walk up calmly and stand next to the girl. We shake hands are taken to the chambers were we're supposed to say goodbye.
