125District 1 Reaping
Eagle Rose, 17
I wake up to the sound of my sisters banging on my door.
"Wake up Eagle," the youngest one, Jade, who was nine, yelled.
I eased myself out of bed and threw on my training clothes: a dry-fit black shirt and grey shorts.
"I'm coming girls," I said, yawning.
The door flew open and Jade, Garnet, and Topaz came in.
"Are you ready to volunteer today?" the oldest, Topaz who was fifteen, asked.
"I was born ready, little sis," I said, smiling.
She smiled and said,"Breakfast is ready. I'm starving."
"Me too!" Jade and Garnet chimed in.
I half ran, half walked down the stairs into the large family room. My only brother, Falcon was sitting in the armchair.
"Falcon?" I asked, amazed,"What are you doing here?"
I had barely seen Falcon since he had won the games five years ago.
"I couldn't miss my little brother's big day," he said smiling and standing up,"C'mon, breakfast is ready. Mom made pancakes and scrambled eggs this morning."
"Awesome!" I said,"That's my favorite!"
"I know," my mom said, looking up as we walked into the kitchen,"How are you feeling this morning?"
"I am super pumped!" I said.
"I'm so jealous that you got the Quarter Quell," my brother said with his mouth full of pancake,"I mean, you get a superpower!"
"I know, it's going to be super awesome!" Garnet said,"I can't wait until I can volunteer."
"Your time will come," mom said, handing her a plate with pancakes and eggs.
"Thanks mom," I said as she handed me a plate.
I grabbed a fork from the island and dug into my meal. I ate it in my personal record, three minutes and forty-five seconds.
Falcon belched and said to me,"Let's go get some last minute training in."
The training went really well. Falcon was impressed with my swordsmanship and crossbow shooting.
"Name?" the peacekeeper asked impatiently.
"Eagle Rose,"
"Finger, please."
I held out my finger and braced myself for the sharp pain. It wasn't as bad as I remembered it. Another peacekeeper herded me to the seventeen year old boy pen.
"Hey, Eagle," my best friend, Ronan, said,"You ready to destroy the Hunger Games?"
"I was born ready, bro," I said, smiling.
"Welcome, District One, to the 100th annual Hunger Games reaping!," our escort, Scarlet yelled.
The crowd cheered. I'm pretty sure we are the only district that does that. I mean, we are the best.
"First is the boy, and then the girl," she said,"For the 100th Hunger Games, the male tribute is-"
"I volunteer as tribute!" I yelled.
Ronan smiled at me and gave me a shove towards the stage.
"And what is your name, young man?" Scarlet asked.
"Eagle Rose," I said confidently.
Sadie Daylock, 17
"It's time to eat breakfast!" my mom yelled up the stairs.
I rolled out of bed and checked the clock. 12:15 P.M. Shoot, I had fifteen minutes until the reaping started. I pulled my hair into a bun, put a bright yellow flower clip onto it, then slipped into my bright yellow lace dress. I looked into the mirror, and, satisfied, I ran downstairs.
"You look beautiful, honey," my mom said, handing me a bowl of cereal.
"Thanks, mom," I said, shoveling the cereal down,"I've got to go now,"
"Bye, honey!" my mom yelled at my back as I ran to my best friend's house.
"Hi Sadie!" my best friend, Brooke yelled through her door
I pushed the door opened and walked inside.
"Hi Brooke," I said, catching my breath.
"Let's go upstairs," she said.
I followed her up the steps, stopping briefly at the bottom to say hello to her parents, then followed Brooke into her room.
"You look, like, totes amazing!" she squealed.
"Thanks!," I said,"You look awesome too."
"You know Sadie," Brooke started,"I'm gonna miss you while you're gone."
"I'll miss you while I'm there too," I said,"But you know that I'll be back in a couple of weeks."
"Yeah, I know," she said, glancing at her watch,"Oh, shoot, it's 12:50!"
We ran down the steps and out to the square, where we quickly told the peacekeeper our names. I said bye to Brooke, who was a year younger than me and then walked confidently to the seventeen year old girl's pen.
"Welcome, District One, to the 100th annual Hunger Games reaping!," our escort, Scarlet yelled.
We all cheered.
"First is the boy, and then the girl," she said,"For the 100th Hunger Games, the male tribute is-"
"I volunteer as tribute!" the male candidate, Eagle yelled.
"And what is your name, young man?" Scarlet asked.
"Eagle Rose," he said confidently.
She reached her hand into the girl's bowl and yelled,"Brooke-"
"I volunteer as tribute!" I yelled.
"And your name is?" Scarlet asked as I walked up the stairs.
"Sadie Daylock," I said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the District One tributes, Eagle Rose and Sadie Daylock!"
