     Running through the tall grass and bushes, I made by way home and had little time to get ready. I tied my hair in two pigtails and went looking for my family. They all seemed nervous, even thought they were all too young to be reaped. I hugged all of them one by one. First my little sisters then my brother. As I threw my arms around my mom I heard her whisper softly in my ear.

      "Thank you for putting your name in more times...you will be okay. There are over 100,000 kids in district 11 and its your first year. Stay strong for them not to worry.""

     I let go of her hug and gave a slight nod, and we heard the gong. We made our way to square and I slowly made my way to the 12 years olds, and silently waited for a name to be called out.
