Today is the day of the Reaping.
My name is Primrose Everdeen. I am tweleve years old. I live in District tweleve. I have an older sister who's name is Katniss. Today is my first Reaping.
I get out of bed and put my blond hair in a messy ponytail. Katniss must be out hunting. I walk out into the kitchen and see, that Katniss has taken the extra cheese. I hear the bell chimes 10:00. Wow, I must have been tired I think. My mother comes out.
" Good morning," Mother says. ' What's go good about it.' " Sleep well?"
" Okay I guess. I'm just nervous," I say.
" I have a surprise for you," Mother says. It's a blouse and skirt.
I get dressed and my mother makes my clothes fit better with some pins.
Katniss comes in and gets a bath. She gets to wear a dress from my mother's past.
At the Reaping, the mayor comes up and gives a long boring speech.
" Ladies first!" Effie Trinket, our District escort for the Games.
" Primrose Everdeen!" She says. That's mine. I'm going into the Hunger Games.
I look back at Katniss as I walk to the stage. She looks like she is in shock.
I get up on the stage and Effie picks a slip for the boys.
" Peeta Mellark!" She says. He walks up.
As soon as she asks for volunteers, My best friends hand shoots up. My best friend is Rory Hawthorne.
"I volunteer! " He walks up onto the stage.
When we have to shake hands. He doesn't just shake it. He gives me a huge hug.
We are pushed in the Justice Building, where we can say our goodbyes.
My vistors are my mother and Katniss.
" Prim! I'm so so so so sorry!" She says.
" Katniss, it's okay. I'm not mad," I say.
" I love you guys. I love you so much," I say when they have to leave.
Madge , Katniss' friend, comes in now.
" I want you to wear this in the arena. You can have one token and I want you to wear this," She says.
" I'll wear it. Trust me," I say and give her a hug.
My other best friend Marrisa comes in now.
" I know you already have a token but in the arena put this on your wrist but keep it hidden," She says. She hands me a braclet. She has the exact same one on.
" I'll bring it. I swear. Promise me you won't forget me?" I ask.
" I swear I won't," She says.
The hour is now up and we head to the train.
As soon as the doors are closed I sob into Rory's arms. Why me? Why me?
