(Actually, Benjamin's just 12.)
District 4
Benjamin was shoved into a bland room. He collapsed into a chair and focused on keeping down his breakfast. His parents and siblings came in. "Benny!" his mother cried, rushing to him. She, like him, was short. They were all a little skinny. His parents owned a shop, but it wasn't a well visited shop, and he'd gone nights without supper. When they finished hugging and crying, his oldest brother, Anthony, gave him a hug. Which was weird, because Anthony didn't like to hug. Benjamin stiffened when his brother whispered in his ear, "Don't trust the girl. She's probably with the Capitol. Remember Katniss Everdeen." Then he pulled back and calmly followed the rest of the family out.
District 6
When her name was called, Kamilla reached up to make sure the blue bow in her hair was straight, and then walked up on stage. Outside, her face was calm and relaxed. Inside, she was jumping around. Partly with excitment and partly with fear. She stood and waited as the boy's name was called. She tried to find her mother's face in the crowd.
