'And so,the Hunger Games have been re-instated,as punishment for the rebelion'

The crowd all gasped as Lissy Snow finished the annoucement.

I stood in the crowd of district 9 watching the huge screen as it went air was filled with gasping and prayers and screams.

'Please don't take my children' I heard Kaddy Maple shout.

I never knew her personally but her two daughters,Juniper and Bonnie were in my class at school.

I wish i had a mother like that,in fact I wish I had a mother at all,but i don't so there's no use crying over it,I mean it's not like i knew her,as soon as i was born i was shipped from district 12 to district 9 with my Grandma Hiyde,but she died aswell.

Everything wasn't meant to turn out like this,after my Great grandma Katniss saved us all.

The Reaping.

Sadie Purkins walked onto the stage,in some districts the have bright and bubbly announcers,but we got God.

'let us get this over with' She said 'My best wishes goes to the male tribute from district 9-' he hand fished round the bowl 'Tryland Opaque'.

A tall,rather muscular boy stepped on the stage,he looked around 17-a year older than me.

'And my condolences to the female tribute-' her hand went in the other bowl 'Juniper Maple'

Out of every bloody girl from 9,she had to pick one I know!Her mother was screaming in the background,everyone else was silent as Juniper walked up to the stage.

I didn't know what i was doing 'I volunteer!' i shouted 'I volunteer for Juniper'

Hey,i had nothing left to lose.

A sad look crossed Sadie's face.

'Well,um,come on up then' she coughed.'And our female tribute-' She put the microphone to my mouth.

'Veronica,Veronica June'

'Shake hands then,and my very best wishes'

Tryland took my hand,his eyes flickered to mine for a were a deep Blue.

We were pushed into the Justice building,but I hadnt expected anyone to come and say goodbye to me,until Juniper,Kaddie and Bonnie rushed in.

'Thankyou,Ronnie,Thankyou Thankyou' Kaddie blubbered

'why,Ronnie,why did you volunteer for me?'Juniper almost shouted

'Because you have far more to lose than I do'

'Fank oo for saving my sister' Bonnie said looking up at me-she was only 6 with teeth jutting forward.

'well be routing for you Ronnie' they all shouted as a peace keeper shoved them out of the door.

The train

I gasped as I stepped on,I was more amazing then i expected.I couldnt take it in before Sadie came in.

'Im sorry to say this but being as the previous victor died,im going to act as your new victor'

'oh joy of joy' Tryland murmerd as he stepped on the train.

'I know I have never won the hunger games but I believe i will be a help'

'help to get us killed' Tryland said.

'I know im not practised but I would appreciate a little more gratitude,if you want to live!'

'But im not going to live,do you think I stand a chance against the careers or her!' he shouted pointing at me.

'and why would I be a threat?' I said.

'Look at you,the sponsors will adore you!' he said

'what the sad little girl with no family?! You think I'll enjoy being reminded of that!' I shouted.

'I didnt mean it like that' he whispered.

'then how did you mean it?!' i shout

'ENOUGH,both of you!' Sadie gasped 'to your rooms'

I turned on my heel.

'where are our room?' i mumbled

'down the hall to your left'.

I skipped dinner and went to the lounge,i sat there for about an hour before a silouette approached me.

'You missed Sadie talking about our strategies'

'why so nice?' i sneered

'I didn't mean it like how you thought' he said sitting down.

'then how did you mean it?'

'I meant they'd remember you because of how beautiful you are'

I giggled,I never giggle,'whats wrong with me' i thought.

I straigtened up 'so whats your strategy?'

'be charming,make the ladies swoon' we laughed.

I barely knew him,but we just got along.

It was as if he read my mind.

'you know i did know you before the reaping'

this knocked me off guard

'what? how?'

'you were in the year below me,but everyone knew you'

'what? no one knew me'

'no you thought they didnt know you,but how could people ignore the most beautiful girl in school' he was so confident.

'ha,im sure i couldn't compare to your girlfriend'

'i have no girlfriend' he said quickly

'so you just waltz around with strangers on your arm'

we laughed.

'im going to bed' i said

'goodnight honey'
