A/N Please give me tips for writing and review but don't be too harsh I'm only 12!

I am Evie May-Star. I am Peeta Melark's best friend. He has been reaped. He is about to enter The Hunger Games. So am I.

Peeta and I were sat out on our tree talking about our future. I was telling him that I would start a rebellion, stop the hunger games so my children would never get reaped. How I would get married to a handsome man with a good job like a baker (hint hint) but then I realised that I was, like usual, rambling on about myself and my plans so I turned to ask Peeta what he was planning to do in the future but he was just sat there staring at Katniss Everdeen! The girl who illegally sneaks out under the fence and hunts in the forest! The girl who Peeta acts like he loves. Of course I know that he doesn't, I have always hoped that he loved me but he does definitely not love Katniss Everdeen! To try and get a response I nudged him and he just said "Tomorrow is reaping day. May the odds be ever in your favour Evie. Goodnight." And with that he jumped down from the tree and went back into his house above the bakery.

Telling the peacekeeper my name I looked around for Peeta and my sister, Elousise but they were nowhere to be seen. So, I walked over to the 17 year olds and Effie Trinket (our escort from the capitol) walked on sporting the latest capitol trends which, dare I say, looked awful! She started the boring talk about why we have the hunger games each year blah blah blah… Then to everyone's relief she started the reaping. "Well boys first," reaching into the glass ball. I held my breath. "Peeta Melark." No, I screamed inside. "Now for the girls." The ridiculous woman put her horrible hand into the horrible ball filled with girls' names. "Primrose Everdeen," she announced. Katniss' sister. Suddenly I heard a voice. "I volunteer," Peetas eyes lit up. I turned around it was Katniss. Well she wasn't getting away with it that easily. I hear myself say "I volunteer," and I push Katniss out the way and then realise what I've done.

The next few days Effie reminds us that it's a big big day and the chariot rides fly by, I become known as the girl on fire, training goes by, I get an 8 like Peeta but the main part was the interview. Mine went fine but I have no reason to live now after Peeta's interview. He just told the whole of panem that I am delusional and that he's not in love with me but with Katniss Everdeen. If I win I will kill her!

My amazing stylist Cinna is making me look pretty whilst I complain about the unfairness of Peeta's statement. A voice says 2 minuets.

I'm ready. 1 minuet.

I say goodbye to Cinna. 30 seconds.

I'm in the tube.

Rising up.

In the arena.

I run to the cornucopia and grab the sword and a backpack. I turn around. Feeling a pain in my back. "PEETA!" I yell "I LOVE YOU!" Then the girl from 2 is on me my eyes fill with terror she smiles. "Hi, I'm Clove what's your name? I don't really care you know. Goodbye-" She pulls out a knife and searches for my district number. The careers behind her are telling her to hurry up and she replies "Shut up me and um, 12 here are having fun aren't we bye bye 12 Have fun dying!" She waves and I see a knife coming towards me so I shout Peeta's name again louder but all I can see is black I think I'm going I'm really go-
