The day of the reaping

My name is Kaytlin Huxley, I live in district 4 with my whole family, I have two brothers Alden who is 13 and Leo who is 9. My mom has two sisters who also have kids, Kathy my aunt, has Braden age 17, Beatrice age 13, and Alaina age 8. Then Amber my other aunt has Joshua age 25, and Jade age 22. Joshua has his own wife and a child who is 6 months Jade is married but has no children yet. My grandma, grandpa, and both uncles are no longer alive. But enough about my family.
I am 16 years old and since I live in D4 I have an okay life, we live in the lesser part of town but we make do, me and my dad both fish for and living while my mom sews Clothing for most of our district.
Today is the day if the reaping though so we do not work, my family wakes up at 12 and we eat lunch then get ready to go, my dad is in a nice shirt and pant and my mom is in a floor length dress, I put on a dark green dress with a black ribbon around the waist then put my hair in a French braid and tie it off with another black ribbon. Alden and Leo dress the same as my dad. When we get there I spot Beatrice and Braden, wishing then good luck before going to my spot with the sixteens, we and my brother Alden are then only four in the family that could get chosen right now. Braden's name is in 4 times Beatrice and Alden's are in twice, and mine is in 56 as I have been taking a tesserae for my family and theirs. They had originally resisted to this but I won in the end. As I'm thinking about this is have missed the whole start of the ceremony and come to just in time to hear Glitter Gleam, our name puller, call out the name "Beatrice Jolee!" "No!!!" I scream, "I volunteer as a tribute, that means unhand her!!" I yell at the peacekeepers hold her arms, she starts sobbing but she knows it's for the best, I can kinda fight and she can't at all.
"Alright then, on to the boys" Glitter says, and I hold my breath hoping against hope that is won't be someone I know, but of course the name she calls out is none other than... "Jackson Grey!" I start to panic, no,no,no this can't be happening, not him!!! Jack slowly walks up to the stage staring at me worriedly the entire time, when it obviously no one is going to volunteer for him Glitter grabs both our hands raising them up and says, "And here are out D4 tributes for the 66th hunger games! Happy Hunger Games and May the odds be ever in your favor!"

I do not own the hunger games as that sadly goes to Suzanne Collins but I own Katlyn her fam and a few others. Remember to vote and comment in this book! I won't be doing any grammar checking till after I finish the book so... ya, hope you like it!
