My name is Delancy. I volunteered to join the Hunger Games. Now I regret it.
    
    * * * * * 
    
    Fourteen-year-old Delancy Lesyk is the girl who was forced to volunteer in the reaping for District 7. She was the girl who had lived a life wherein she has to become extraordinary to accomplish anything. She was the girl who had experienced whole day trainings for the past eight years of her life, making her sound strong. But truth is, she's not. She may be physically ready, but she's not ready for the challenges coming. She may be prepared to fight, but she is actually scared and nervous on the inside.
    
    Right from the start, she knew that she wouldn't survive. Not when she just saw that girl from district 5 wrestle a man twice her size. But despite all this, there's something inside of her that is urging her to do everything she can to win. Will she follow it, even if she doesn't know that she can?
