I was finishing outing my hair in a side braid when Jordan walked in. The dreaded reaping day had come and I was not happy about it.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn6FtObEEP

We headed out the door and walked in silence towards the town hall. We were almost there when Jordan stopped me and dragged me into an abandoned alley way. 898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNaIQlzzL

"Jordan what are you doing?!?!" I asked worriedly.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUHqXMnacS

"This," he said and grabbed me by the shoulders and kissed me square on the lips. At first I was frozen, but then I melted into the kiss. OMG I'm kissing the guy I like. We stayed like that for a little bit, until we had to get some air. Stupid air.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fdG2Tw18k

"That was.." I said.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeI4yt7k4S

"Amazing," we said together and started laughing. 898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHZ5V9cHs1

"Lilac, I've had a crush on you for a couple years now, and I am finally working up the courage to ask you out. So please say yes," he said.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzX1kjMyPw

"How about yes," I said smiling. All he did was smile back at me and pick me up and spin me around. 898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5FI2c6fua

"Thank god you said yes. In my head mind I was imagining you laughing in my face," he said. All I did was smile and say, "As much as I'd love to stay here and talk with you, we have to go to the reaping before peacekeepers find us and drag us them themselves." All he does is nod and we walk in a comfortable silence.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0X6WewHY3

After I'm checked in I go stand in my age group area. I was one of the last people to head in, so as soon as I'm done I hear the capitols fanfare. I really hope this goes by fast and neither me nor Jennifer are reaped. I look at the stage and see Anika, the person who's our districts. I'm really nervous since two GIRLS are gonna be reaped this year. Yes, they announced it yesterday and now I am terrified. We all watch the video they show every year of District 13 and how the Hunger Games were started, blah, blah, blah. Like anyone cares about this stuff. Then Anika talks.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYHbt97NFG

"Welcome everyone to the beginning of the 71st Annual Hunger Games," she says, but no one cheers. Why would they. It's just a sick form of entertainment for her people. Anika actually seems really nice. A few people from our district have won many years ago, but no one has won in the past 10 years from our district. So our odds are pretty slim.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDrwZRLfdn

She goes over to the bowl with all our names in it and sticks her hand in. She digs through the bowl and finally picks out a name. She walks over the microphone and says the name.898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PVsrgZAqE

"Our first tribute is none other than Maisie Spencer (@fangirl-musician)" A girl my age with long-ish dirty blond hair walks up to the stage and stands next to Anika. Anika then walks over to the bowl again and picks out another name898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzJjKkMnu

"Lilac Hadden" she said and I froze. What this can't be happening. Everyone realizes that its me and makes path to the stage. I slowly make my way there and I can see everyones eyes on me. I look back at Jennifer and see that she's about to cry. I continue walking to the stage and stand next to Anika. 898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqWh0Cb9ae

I look at into the sea of people and I see my parents and Jane crying. I keep on trying to find Jordan, but I can't see him anywhere. What? Where is he?898Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu76Z7gQDt
