Foxface's POV Chapter 1

When i wake up a dreadful feeling hits me as i remember that it's reaping day. I stretch and roll out of bed and peek out of my door. My 20 year old brother, Buzz, is already going to work at the power lines. On the reaping day your not supposed to go to work, but here in district 5 you must until two in the afternoon where the reaping is. I look through my closet, unfortunately my family doesn't live on the rich side of District 5, so all i have to where for the reaping is what i where every year. It is actually a beautiful dress, it's blue with small white roses laced into the fabric. I slip into the dress and brush my hair in a side braid. I look at my old clock in the kitchen, there are two hours until the Reaping.

I take a little walk to the pub where i excpect my father to be ( I know its crazy to be up drinking at this time of the day) he is always there, he drinks mostly because of heartache because he only startrd drinking when my mother abondoned us. His case got more serious when my sister was chosen to compete in the 70th anual hunger games. when she was only 14. She would of been 18 last week if she wasn't murdered by the boy from district two.

When I enter the pub i notice my father drinking a beer and spending most of our money. "Lekrtice", He calls when he nontices me (my real name Lektrice like electric ,get it?, but most people call foxface because of my auburn hair and my fox like face). Instead of answering i walk to wear he is and grab his arm, I then pull him to the door and half drag, half carry him back to the house. I Check the clock again only an hour until the reaping. I drag my father to the tub and drop him into it, clothes and all. I proceed to dump cold water over him and hand him various soaps. I then walk back to my room.

"Nice to sse you Fox" Buzz yells sarcastically as I walkdown the hall past his room. I give a lazy wave and then I shut my door. I look at my dress, i probably shouldn't have worn it to the pub but i wasn't thinking. I scrub off the patches of sweat and dirt my father left, then i hang it up on a hook. i checked my cxloset again to see if i had a formal shirt to where with my red skirt. This outfit would not be as nice as my dress but i don't have anything else to where. i continue to check my closet when a white and gold dress catches my eye. This was the dress my sister wore during her reaping.

I easily zip up the dress even though im 17 and my sister wore this when she was 14. I'm quite small for my age. I look good in the dress, not as good as my sister who was one of the most beuitful girls in all of distict 5. She had straight blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and skin so soft and pale that she looked like one of glass dolls the richer children play with.

When i go down stairs again my father and Buzz wait by the door. " It's time for the reaping Fox"
