Chapter 1...

It's time for the drawing. Effie Trinket says as she always does,

"Ladies first!" and crosses to the glass ball with the girls' names. She

reaches in, digs her hand deep into the ball, and pulls out a slip of paper.

The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop,

and I'm feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it's not me, that

it's not me, that it's not me.

Effie Trinket crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper,

and reads out the name in a clear voice. And it's not me.

It's Bulbul Arora.

There must have been some mistake. This can't be happening. Bulbul

was one slip of paper in thousands! Her chances of being chosen so

remote that I'd not even bothered to worry about her. Hadn't I done

everything? Taken the tesserae, refused to let her do the same? One slip.

One slip in thousands. The odds had been entirely in her favor. But it

hadn't mattered.

"Bulbul!" The strangled cry comes out of my throat, and my muscles

begin to move again. "Bulbul!" I don't need to shove through the crowd. The

other kids make way immediately allowing me a straight path to the stage.

I reach her just as she is about to mount the steps. With one sweep of my

arm, I push her behind me.

"I volunteer!" I gasp. "I volunteer as tribute!"

"Well, bravo!" gushes Effie Trinket. "That's the spirit of the Games!"

She's pleased to finally have a district with a little action going on in it.

"What's your name?"

I swallow hard. "Pragya Arora," I say.

"I bet my buttons that was your sister. Don't want her to steal all the

glory, do we? Come on, everybody! Let's give a big round of applause to

our newest tribute!" trills Effie Trinket.

"But

more excitement to come! It's time to choose our boy tribute!" Clearly

hoping to contain her tenuous hair situation, she plants one hand on her

head as she crosses to the ball that contains the boys' names and grabs

the first slip she encounters. She zips back to the podium, she's reading the

name. "Abhishek Mehra.

Abhishek Mehra!

The mayor begins to read the long, dull Treaty of Treason as he does

every year at this point " it's required " but I'm not listening to a word.

The mayor finishes the dreary Treaty of Treason and motions for

Abhi and me to shake hands. Abhi looks me right in the eye and gives my

hand what I think is meant to be a reassuring squeeze. Maybe it's just a

nervous spasm.

We turn back to face the crowd as the anthem of Panem plays.

Oh, well, I think. There will be twenty-four of us. Odds are someone else

will kill him before I do.

Of course, the odds have not been very dependable of late.

The tribute train is fancier than even the room in the Justice

Building. We are each given our own chambers that have a bedroom, a

dressing area, and a private bathroom with hot and cold running water.

We don't have hot water at home, unless we boil it.

There are drawers filled with fine clothes, and Effie Trinket tells me

to do anything I want, wear anything I want, everything is at my disposal.

Just be ready for supper in an hour. I peel off my mother's blue dress and

take a hot shower. I've never had a shower before. It's like being in a

summer rain, only warmer. I dress in a dark green shirt and pants.

Chapter 1 finishes here. Hope u like it. Do read & comment!!!

With loads of love,

Adah
