October Fest's POV

In the morning a sense of doom hangs over me like a cloud. I do my regualr morning chores for breakffest along with Summer before getting dressed up for the reaping. We head down the dirt road from our hosue when Summer says,"October, do you think I'll be reaped?". I look at her and I want to say no but, I know that would be a horrible lie,"Maybe...". She frowns but deosn't say anything more. I head into the 18 year old section ang gulp. The stupid escort goes on and on untill she reaches into the girls bowl. "Summer Fest!" She announces. No, no. Not my sister. Not her. I see her now, slowly tridging to the stage, trying to keep back the flow of tears. She reaches for the boys slips and reads,"Stan Grain." I clench my fists a yel,"I volunteer!" I run up to the stage and embrace Summer. I look around my District one last time. Because I won't be coming home, Summer will.
