The Hunger Games
Chapter 2
I woke up early the next morning. Today was the day. My birthday. Reaping day.
I hopped out of bed and went off to eat my birthday breakfast. Deer meat, home grown potatoes from my own garden that I started last spring, and eggs I bought from the market.
After breakfast I put on my best clothes: A long black dress with golden polka dots and black heels. Then my mother helped me straightened my hair. When she was done she put in a black hair clip to complete the outfit.
It was about time, so me and Zander headed for time square.
"Happy birthday Michaela." Zander said trying to sound happy but failing to complete the task.
"Happy birthday?" I said back with a laugh. "Yeah it will be so happy when we see one of our friends or siblings being chosen for the hunger games, and watching them die." I snapped at him sarcastically.
" It won't happen Michaela!" he screamed at me, "We've made it this far, why would we be chosen now?"
I didn't reply. We kept walking until we finally caught up with Sari and Flynn.
