“Get up get up its time for a big, big day,” I hear Effie   Trinket’s annoying voice. Effie   is the escort for district 12. I swear of the 12 victor’s homes, where 9 of them sit unoccupied, she has to choose the one full of broken bottles and other garbage just to annoy me. it is 7 am the reaping doesn’t start until 2pm I have plenty of time to sleep in but any way I pull myself out of bed and get dressed into casual jeans and a plain pink tank top this will make Effie freak she hates it when I wear clothes that are so casual and every year she gives me new clothes brought in the capitol there style is so weird I never wear them well that’s a lie I wear 2 of the dresses they actually look very normal compared to what we see her wear at the reaping.

“You’re not seriously wearing that are you,” I hear as I scoff down my breakfast I just want to catch up with Jacob in the meadow. “Yep got a problem with it,” I reply with my mouth full of fresh baked bread from Peeta. I see Haymitch smile from ear to ear he loves annoying Effie as much as I do. “I got to go,” I say as I dump my dirty plate in the sink I will wash those later. Effie grabs my arm and says “you’re not going anywhere until you change.”  It is easy enough to slip out of her grip I jog down the hall and scoop up my shoes and am out the door before she reaches the hallway. I run to get jacob and we take off again this time to the meadow. I guess who ever said that time flies when you’re having fun is correct. When I’m with Jacob the rest of the world doesn’t exist anymore it isn’t until we check the time and relies that we have 25 minutes until the reaping we bolt to the victors village get ready in a hurry I choose one of the simple dresses Effie gave me a couple of years ago we gather at the front of the victors village along with Peeta Katniss Prim Haymitch and Mrs. everdeen. The walk to the village square was excruciating knowing that Katniss, Haymitch, Peeta and I will not walk back that road again this afternoon; this is the one year I want to go to the games.

“ Welcome, welcome to the 75th annual hunger games,” says Effie  making shore she prolongs the words she quickly reads the card, “and now it is time to select this year’s tributes,” Effie ’s voice echoes  through the somewhat crowded  square she takes a moment too long to snatch Katniss’ name and then moves on to the boys Haymitch’s name gets called and Peeta volunteers now it’s my turn and as I had suspected would happen Prim’s name is called I see Katniss’ eyes go to huge bug like orbs and I can feel Prim stiffen beside me I scare everybody half to death when I yell the 4 words that make Prim faint

 “I volunteer as tribute!”
