High up in a tree, gazing over the fields and orchards, Aurajai let out a sigh and bent to pick fruit again. Yay. she thought miserably. The hunger games have started. Yay. She looked up at the sun and stretched, noticing that they would be calling the signal to stop soon. She reached for another fruit, and put it in her basket, then took the moment to relax her eyes. She had been in the orchard all day, and dropping half her lunch didn't really help her hunger. And the officials didn't care-at least the crueler ones didn't. One of the nicer ones gave her another small piece of bread and she had bowed a little thanks and run off, before any of the other officials had seen.
She opened her eyes and yawned, closing her mouth quickly as she caught sight of patrolling officers scanning the orchard and fields for lazy workers. Ducking her head, she picked a couple more oranges and cursed the sun for being so hot. and the capitol. And the capitol. Aurajai looked up at the sun again-in about ten-fifteen minutes they would be calling for them to stop. She groaned and stretched her back. i feel like a slave.
