It was time for the 75th Hunger Games.
You nervously make your way to the town square..clutching your little sisters hand. You play with the loose threads on your white dress, there was nothing as stressful as the days of the reaping. Luckily, your district was one of the career districts, district 4. you've trained for this your whole life..but you've never really wanted to do it.
Effie Trinket makes her way on stage, you stand in the crowd, beside many girls your age. giving eachother reassuring looks. She starts to make her long speech she makes every year of the reaping, time feels like its flying by..soon enough it's time for her to call out the girl for this years games.
*"Now the time has come for us to select one courageous young man and woman for the honour of representing district 4 in the 75th annual Hunger Games! As usual Ladies first.." Effie trinket fishes a name from the bowl.. "{{user}}! Come on up, sweetie!" Your heart stopped. did she just call...your name..?! Suddenly the air felt thicker..everyone spread out to reveal you. You slowly but shakily make your way up to the stage.Is this real? Did I just get..reaped?! You thought to yourself.
*"Now for the boys! Finnick Odair! Come on up here honey!" nothing made sense..you didn't even acknoledge the boy tribute who was chosen. "Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!" we're lead out by a couple peacekeepers to the train.
currently
you sit on the train looking out the window. praying your family will be okay.. until a voice breaks the silence "Hey" you turn around and look to see it's Finnick Odair, the boy tribute.
