Before the Reaping

I went home and my mother and Prim were waiting for me, with dinner on the table and a bath ready.  And yet, I don't really know how I feel about the reaping today.  I have a small fear about it but I don't like to show it because I have to stay strong for Prim.  And besides, there are hundreds of other people in that ball, so they couldn't possibly pick me or Prim.  My mother let me borrow her blue dress and now, even in the simple outfit, I feel that I have completley transformed from myself, for something that I don't even care about.  Besides, the capitol has been trying to slyly show the fact that they're in control and that they've always in control since the uprising in District 13.  And now they've broguht us to this.  But there's no way that they could pick me, right? I mean...my names only in the reaping ball about...20 times.  And even if i don't get picked this year, there's always next year, when I'll get entered even more. I still have a life to live and a family to take care of. Thanks alot., Capitol.  You think you're so smart by taking little girl's and boy's lives away.  But this just makes the districts despise you even more.
