When Valeria had finished her work around the farm she headed back towards her house, by the time Valeria had finished her work the sun was already up she guessed that it was around eleven O'clock which gave her some time to bathe and make herself look somewhat clean. "I'll be in the bath getting ready." Valeria told her parents as she headed upstairs where her clothes had already been set up for the Reaping, she turned on the water and looked at herself in the mirror there had been some dirt on her face Val took the washcloth that was on the counter and ran it through the water making sure to scrub it good enough that it was clean.

After finishing her bath and getting dressed Valeria was dressed in a short white dress and headed down the stairs to see her family waiting for her. "Ready to go?" Her father asked looking to his daughter who simply shrugged she didn't want to leave it was something she dreaded every year. "As ready as i'll ever be." Val said sarcastically with a shrug. Valeria walked out of their house possibly for the last time, in the farm across from her family's she could see her neighbors leaving the house as well, for the most part the walk to the justice building for District Ten was quiet for the most part.

Valeria jumped slightly as she felt a hand resting on her shoulder and looked up to stare at the boy her age and smiled it was Garric Valeria's only true friend. "Hey there Vally." The nickname he gave her for so many years at first when she was younger hated being called that. "You know I hate being called that." Valeria said trying to sound like she was annoyed. "That's why I keep calling you that," Garric said with a laugh and nudged her.

Valeria smiled at her friend the walk to the justice building made things somewhat better, she followed the other girls in her age group to be signed in, Valeria looked around seeing her younger sister doing the same thing which was her second time going through the Reaping. "Finger please." A peacekeeper said Valeria held out her hand as the peacekeeper took her hand and pricked a small needle to it drawing out her blood Valeria then went to the line with the other girls and stood there quietly.
