Jason and I walk into the hoard of students. We follow them to the entrance of the cafeteria where everyone was forming 5 lines. We near the front of the line and I see they are asking questions, what is your name, age, and would you like to sign up for Tessera? I finally get up to a lady asking the questions.

"Name?" She says obviously tired of doing this over and over.

"Piper McLean." She goes through all the questions and I answer.

"Thank you, now stick out your arm." She stamps me with a barcode.

I walk a few paces before the next person, this time a peacekeeper, tells me to stick out my arm and scans the barcode I was just given. A peace of paper pops out of the bottom and he hands it to me. I notice that it was a schedule, I walk to an empty table so that Jason can sit by me. I see that he is still at the questioner's desk. My plain of sight gets blocked by a boy coming over and sitting right beside me, then another comes on the other side, soon the whole table was full of boys.

"So cutie, what are you going to do tonight?" The boy with brown hair beside me says.

"Probably go walking around with Jason today." They all looked at me funny.

"Who's Jason, and why is he more important than me?" I'm going to guess this was one of the popular kids.

"Obviously she isn't interested in you." Says the boy on my other side.

"Ok, then sweetie, who are you interested in?" I look back up at Jason and see he is looking for me. I stand up and walk over to him, causing all the boys to stand up to get a better look at me.

"So, whose your new friends?" Jason asks as I get close to him.

"Don't even think about telling the others about them." E started laughing as we found another table to sit at.

"So I haven't read The Hunger Games yet, so how do we volunteer?" I look at him with shame.

"We just have to hope that our name doesn't get called, this district always has a bunch of volunteer wannabes, but there are 2 ways you can make sure that no one tries to volunteer except for you."

"And those are?"

"Either get all the boys to dislike you, or get all the girls to love you, this is basically the same plan." He looks up at me kinda confused. "Well, what class do you have first."

"S-" he gets cut off by then bell. I start to walk the opposite way from him realizing that all the boys are going that way. Do boys and girls have different halls?
