Ok this fan fiction is Peeta, Katniss and Gale as adults. I know Gale moves to District 2 but let's just say more the sake of this fanfic that he doesn't. He remains in District 12 and is close with Peeta and Katniss' family.
The school bell rings and I'm so happy that it's the end of the day. I go to my locker to grab my bag while Im walking there I see my best Summer. I go running over to her "hey Sum do you want to come my house" I ask her. Summer says okay without hesitation. We pack up our stuff and head to my house.
When we get to my house I open the front door "Mom! Dad! Are you home?" I shout. There's no response. "Of course not" I mutter under my breath. Summer looks at me "are you sure its okay for me to be here" she asks. I look at "ya it's fine they probably won't be home till late and even then they won't notice whether you're here or not. Besides Jakes at soccer so I'm sure they'll ask him how practice went before they even say hello to me" I say. Summer looks uncomfortable, I smile at her "hey do you want to go to my attic my parents have a ton of old toys and movies do you want to go see what it is" I ask her. I'm not technically supposed to go up there without mom or dad but they won't know what I take they never go down there anyways.
We go up to the attic and there are boxes everywhere. We don't know where to start so we just grab random boxes and start opening them. I grab one that's pretty heavy and I tear it open because I'm pretty curios of what's it in. There are tapes, lots of them. I grab the one on the top it's labeled "The 75th Hunger Games" what the hell is that and how come I've never heard of it I pick up the one next to it which is labeled "The 74th Hunger Games" I keep picking them up and they're all labeled the Hunger Games but with different years. Why do mom and dad have these but never them? There's so many of them? What are they? I turn to Summer "hey Sum have you ever heard of the Hunger Games?" I ask her. She looks at my stunned "The Hunger Games!" she shouts and comes running over. "Oh my God! Adriana you own the Hunger Games! I can't believe your parents have these! That's so awesome!" she screams. I'm getting annoyed now "What are they?" I ask. She looks at me "you don't know?" she responses. I shake my head. She looks really surprised and a little confused "Adriana, the Hunger Games is an event, well was it took place about 30 years ago. Back when the Capitol was in control, they would select two kids from each district they would be between the ages of 12 and 18, they would be sent into an arena and need to fight to the death. You're parents were in two of the Games. Its where they met, where they came to be the star-crossed lovers of district 12" she says. I look at her now im really confused "the what?" I ask. She looks at me "you honestly don't know. Your parents were in love in the arena the rebelled against the Capitol they outsmarted them twice. How do you not know this?" she asks me. "Well I know about the rebellion from History class and I know my mom was the leader but that's it" I say on the verge of tears. How come they never told me? How come they kept it secret? I should know about this! Why didn't they tell me I would have wanted to hear their stories! I can't believe – my thoughts are interrupted by Summers cell phone. "ya ok mom I'm on my way" Summer looks at my "I gotta go sorry" she says.
Once shes gone I grab "The 1st Hunger Games" and put it in the tape machine. I start watching even though I know my parents wouldn't want me to. I can't stop watching it because its just so good and addicting. Jake comes home and comes in my room. He looks at the screen "what are you watching?" he asks me. I tell him everything she told me. He looks stunned but I don't know if he she would be watching this. He's only 10 and I'm 13 so there's a difference in age but I can't stop him. We just sit there. Watching the interviews and watching the games. Then we hear the door slam and both mom and dad come into my room. They look mad, surprised….mad. They turn to us "what the hell are you watching?" mom shouts. I don't have time to explain. My dad turns off the player and glares at me "Adriana Primrose Mellark what are you watching this and showing it to Jake" I stand up "why didn't you ever tell about this! This was a huge part in your lives?" they look at each other. Mom turns to Jake and dad "guys come on lets go out. Adriana your grounded. You know you're not supposed to go into the attic alone and you shouldn't have watched this without out permission. Especially with Jake he's just a boy" she says as they leave and close my door. Once I hear the front door close I glance at the tv and press play on the player. They can't stop me from watching this I think as I continue watching.
Ok so this is my first Hunger Games fanfic. Please review so I know people are reading. Don't worry I'm going to introduce Gale and his family in the next chapter I just felt that Adriana should have something to be angry about. And if you didn't catch they automatically blamed her for watching it. Do you like it? Dislike? Any advice?
