Ari was already in the center of town. The sixteen year old glanced around nervously, waiting for the reaping to begin. It wouldn't be for another thirty minutes or so, but they were already wearing their fancy clothes. They had wanted to wear something more boyish, but as their mom still saw them as female, they were stuck wearing a baby-blue dress that dropped to their knees. It didn't even cover their shoulders!

Ari was still worried about him though- what if they were chosen as tribute? The thought made them shudder. They looked down, and closed their eyes, trying to relax...
