Amina remained still and silent, gripping Salma's hand in hers. The overwhelming mass of girls staring up at the stage emanated heat and nerves and it didn't help the name hanging on everyone's lips. Amina didn't bother wishing for it not to be her. She had taken the 3 tesserae for her siblings, and Salma the 2 for their parents. The sun was beating down, but it didn't affect the neon Capitol woman rambling happily ahead.
Finally, she shut up. "Very well. Mays the odds be ever in your favour!"
Salma snorted and Amina tightened her grip on her hand. "Our female tribute is… Amina Bennis!" she chirped.
It was like a punch to the gut. Salma started shaking uncontrollably. Amina turned to her twin and hugged her tightly before turning stiffly to the stage and proudly marched up to the side of the woman, who put her arm around her shoulder. Amina shrugged it off.

Joseph stood tall and proud in the middle of the crowd, sweat beading on his spine and face. The glare of the sunlight bounced off the high, polished windows of the Hall and assaulted the trembling mass of kids awaiting their doom.
"May the odds be ever in your favour," the Capitol woman grinned from the stage as the usual movie came to an end. He inhaled deeply and watched emotionlessly as the girl was called and brought up to the stage. Then the woman turned back to the crowd. "And now, for the men," she said grandly.
She reached her spidery hand into the bowl and picked out a paper. She gently peeled it open.
"Caleb Porter." Joseph's breath hitched. He knew Caleb; he had an enormous family and was the eldest son. They had been friends for a very long time. Joseph watched as the crowd parted to let Caleb through.
Before he could think about it, he called out, "I volunteer as tribute." Time stopped.
Caleb turned to him incredulously. Joseph gave him a small smile and repeated himself louder. "I volunteer as tribute."
He walked up to the stage in a daze.

(Sure. Idk about the past stuff, I just know that the games are still going. That works if u want. Maybe Katniss and Peeta died in an “accident” some time ago? We have to have a new president tho.)

Lukas crossed his fingers, praying that his name wouldn't be called. There was one other male on winner's lane, so there was a 50/50 chance between them. Lukas had forgotten the name of the lady who pulls the name out of the bowls, despite the fact that he spent a long time with her the past year. She reached into the bowl and pulled out one of the slips of paper. Immediately, her smile became smaller and forced, and Lukas knew that his name was on that sheet of paper. She had made the same face last year when she realized how young he was. "Lukas Starling," she said, as loud as her voice could muster.

Aella wasn't exactly excited, but she wasn't nervous either. She kind of had the thinking that if her name was pulled, then her name was pulled. Teal Quinton, the District 8 escort, made her way to the female's bowl. There were way more names in there than what was in the male's bowl. Teal reached her hand in, and pulled out two papers by accident. She flicked one back into the bowl without looking at the names, then opened the one left. A wide smile was plastered on her face, like someone had taped it on, as usual. "Aella Nightingale!" she exclaimed. After she had said it, her smile became a little more forced. Aella remembered a conversation they had had the first time she was chosen. Teal immensely hated young tributes. Especially for the Quarter Quell. That was three years ago, and she hasn't changed a bit.
