Chapter 4
Mackenzie's POV
I know I'm in District 1. I recognized right away. I started panicking. The reaping is tomorrow they said. But tomorrow is now today, and I'm scared. Maddie is probably in another district far far away. Now every kid and parent is heading to the reaping, all dressed nicely. Since I already had fancy clothing on, I went in those clothes. When I got to the table with the peacekeepers, they pricked my finger and said to go with the other 12 year old girls. (AN: I changed Mack's age from 11 to 12 so she can compete in the hunger games :3)
Chloe's POV
OMG! I'm in district 7 in the hunger games! Ahhhhh I'm standing with the other 15 year old girls waiting for it to start! I'm so nervous!
Maddie's PO
"Welcome welcome to the 80th annual Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!" said Effie. First of all, way too much makeup. Second of all, lose the accent. "As usual, ladies first!" She said smiling. I have another complaint: Lose the smile. Lose the costume. Lose all your happiness. Die. We're about to compete in a fight to the death and you act all smiley? No.
Effie picked out a small piece of paper and walked to the microphone. She smoothed out the paper and said "Madison Ziegler!" It's me. She called me. I started walking to the stage. No one volunteered. "Now for the boys!" She exclaimed. She smiled (ugh) and picked out a piece out paper. She smoothed it out and read "Josh Hyland!" I felt like crying. I saw him walk up to the stage and stand next to me. We looked at each other for a split second. Then we looked away. We shook hands as Effie told us to, and then were led into the train. The train took off. We said no goodbyes. For there was no one to miss us.
