My breath caught in my throat, and my heart skipped a beat. I was Rich, not once in my life have I ever, EVER thought about me being in the games. Suddenly rage sparked up inside of me, it as fierce as a monster, clawing its way to the top, I wanted to run and scream. I moved forwards in a a calm and collected, I had a smirk upon my face, My family Crest smeared in mud by my amateur father, was apparent. I remembered seeing peoples reaction to the reaping, I don't even know what my own response was. I glanced to my left as the poor kids were smiling, thinking that I was gonna die, I flickered my gaze at the female tribute already on her way, tears streaming down her face, screams of long nights ahead ripping from her throat. The next thing I knew was that I was being dragged backwards by some person. I turned and saw Zach Hershey, A tall dark hair jock with bright green eyes. Zach had silent tears in his eyes, and was desperately pulling me back, Signifying the truth to everyone, about his Crush on me. I couldn't move, because he was stronger than me, but I suddenly felt the pressure release from around my waist, and a heavy thud. I turned just in time to see his body hit the floor, two shots to the chest, one to the head. Tears filled my eyes as 6 peace keepers came up and circled me, shoving me in a stumbling motion. I became even more numb to the world as the realization of Zachary's death, and my body started to shake. I heard loud shrieks of agony, it took me the entire time to realize that it was me. So much for being strong willed, Now I made a fool of myself over a crush. I sank to the floor at the stage just staring into the distance, Knowing something in me broke, Maybe my will to survive, we would all find out in the games.
