The 13th annual hunger games

District 7- Reaping

Roses shooses P.O.V.

I am realxed, even though it's the reaping. It's my last year and my names in it 8 times. 5 nessecary and 3 for tesserae for me, my mom and my dad. I'm an only child so i wouldn't volunteer for anyone, like a sibling and no older sibling would volunteer for me. I'm pretty safe considering some 16 year olds have their name in 20 times. I get ready for the reaping and put on a black and white plaid skirt and white polo shirt. I head to the square and pray it's not me.

I stand with all the other 16 year olds and wait for the reaping to begin. oUr escort/ clown, Decosta Max walks up on stage and is ready to begin. "Welcome ladies and gentelmen to the 13th annual hunger games, and may the odds be ever in you're favour" he says in his ridiculous accent. I honestly don't why they say may the odds be ever in you're favour. Imean, they wanna see you go and kill people, arw they wishing you good luck hope you don't get in? Or do they mean good luck hope you get in? I bet it's the second one for the career districts. "Our female tribute is.." please don't be me, please don't be me "Rose Shoose" dang, that's me. Of all the slips in the'r why me? I walk up like a career and act like i'm excited. Then he asks for voluntteers, which is pointless. When no one volunteers, as expected I grin as if I'm happy. I pray none of the other tributes had this strategy, cause it may be my only way out of there.

Deshaun Allens P.O.V.

I wake up earlier than usual, I have to get ready. I just turned 12 yesterday and I know I'll be going into the games. It's pretty much confirmed. You see, when I was 6 I snuck into the woods and was caught, I was too young for them to do anything so I went unpunished. Now I'm old enough for the reaping and they'll probably take their revenge now. Even though my names in the'r 4 time, 1 nessecsary and 3 for tesserae for me, my dad and my brother who's now to old for the reaping, they probably rigged it so my name will be pulled. For example, they could've filled the bowl with only my name. I don't have a mum,well, anymore. She left with some person from district 10 and is living their today, I think. I get dressed in cream pants and a white polo top then head to the square.

I stand with the 12 year olds and pray they forgot about that incident, but I know they wouldn't have. Decosta Max, our escort walks on stage and announces the girl, someone named Rose Shoose. She walks on stage and grins when there are no volunteers, she's just like a career except not from the career district or a voulunteer. "Our lucky male tribute is Deshaun Allen" Just as expected. I don't cry, I just try and enjoy what little life I have left. They're probably gonna make sure I die on the first day, if not the bloodbath probably mutts. We shake hands and then are led into the room meant to for saying goodbye to loved onees. This'll probably be the last tie I see them.
