*Four note whistle* I can finally bare the good news that the days work is over. This is the only exciting thing this time of year. Tomarrow is the reaping, but today is district elevens drawing. Due to the fact that we are such a big district people's names get drawn a head of time. Tonight all acrossed eleven two names will be drawn and two families will cry of sadness and happiness. Happiness because their child won't have to work anymore and they will be taken out of this life. But sadness because their child probably won't be seen again. Finally I reach my families hut. It was just one room but we didn't care as long as we were together. My family and I gather around the small TV that only works for occasions such as the hunger games. "Hello and happy hunger games to you district eleven. As usual ladies first" the announcer said I never did take the time to get to know her name. I hold my breath in hope. "Rue meadow is the female representative for district eleven and Thresh Williams as the male representative." That's me Rue meadow it's sad cause both me and my best freind got picked. Thresh sometimes stole food for me and my family. He would always be the first person I saw when we got off work. He taught me to use my agility and smallness so I wouldn't end up with him lifting the heaviest things in the fields. Even though I put a smile on everyone's face at the end of the day I know nobody is going to volunteer for me. At least I can say my goodbyes before I leave. I can't wait to go to a better life with thresh at my side. He may have a shot at winning this but I don't. He always said I'd reach the heavens. But I don't think he ment this way. I hug my family goodbye as the sun rose over head. I needed to be brave just until we get into that arena. I got signed in and went to my age group. A few people give me sorry glances but those people were just the ones who new me as the whistler. Few might even know me as part of the rebellion or district thirteen. Which reminds me district twelve had their reaping yesterday and I know in my heart I will make Katniss into the Mockingjay. Finally after what seems like forever I was called on to the stage. When I die in that arena I want mockingjay to sing me to sleep, and I want the Mockingjay to be by my side. My the odds be ever in my favor I think to my self as me and Thresh get loaded onto the train.
