My name is Rose Mellark.
My parents are Katniss and Peeta Mellark. I have been told that my parents are the victors of the 74th hunger games, and during the 3rd quarter quell my father was hijacked my the Capitol and my mother was rescued my the rebels and there was a war killing the president of Panem. Now there are no hunger games and there is no worry but mom is still on edge. She will even go as far as sleeping with her bow and arrow near her, and dad he still paints what he sees in his nightmares. Thankfully mom still hunts to get her mind off of things and she taught me how to hunt.
"Rose, Rose, ROSALIE LILLIAN MELLARK," mom screamed. "I suggest you focus and listen to me if you want to be a better shot."
"Sorry I was just thinking," I barely mumble.
"I think we should call it a day and head back home. You seem to have your mind focused on something else anyways."
In my defense I'm better with a knife and camouflage than I am with a bow and arrow. I start to head a back home a couple minutes behind mom. I don't think they will mind if I am a little late for dinner. That's when I saw him. His eyes a light gray and dark hair he seemed to be a year or two younger than I am. I knew he ha to be from the Seam they have gray eyes like mom an people from the town their eye color is a variety of different colors. My thoughts yet again are disrupted this time by a boy.
"Rosalie Mellark. I never thought I would be meeting you out her in these woods."
"How do you know my name" I ask in a defensive voice. I was pointing my bow at him.
"If I were you i wouldn't point that at me. My dad was a friend of your moms. And I also happen to know how to hunt."
"What's your point?"
"My point is that you are not the only one who hunts in these woods."
"Ok if I'm not the only one I should at least get to know your name first." I said this and I came out slightly more bitter and cold than I intended it to be.
"My name is Ryan. Ryan Hawthorne."
"I know that name."
"You should, I mean if your mom talks about her childhood friends, anyways my father is Gale Hawthorne."
I gasp. I do know that name but I never thought that Gale had a son never mind an incredibly cute one at that.
