Hey I am a huge fan of the Hunger games so I decided to write my own story and post it. In my story Peeta and Katniss are already a couple before the Reaping. for those who like Gale, I am sorry but I don't think he will appear in my story. I am new to fanfiction and English is not my first language so I am sorry if there are any grammar or spell mistakes in my story. If you like my story or you have some advice please review. If you don't like it please don't read or review.

All day I had been trying to get some food or money to buy some food. Unfortunately I was exhausted and I ended up with nothing. My sister Primrose and I hadn't eaten for days and my mum spend days sitting in her room and stare into nothing after my father died in a mine explosion about a month ago. I decided to check the trash cans from the people who are not so poor as I.

I live in the Seam, the most poor area in District 12 which happens to be the poorest district of Panem. We never had much food, but my father worked in the mines and hunted every weekend so we didn't starve like many people. But about a month ago he died in a mine explosion and my mother wasn't there to feed Prim and I so I had to do it myself. And that was hard.

My father taught me how to hunt a little and how to treat what with which people but today I had no success. To make my day worse all trash cans were empty. I just opened the trashcan of the Mellark family who owned the bakery in the district when mrs. Mellark came outside and started yelling that I was a thief and that she would call the Peace Keepers if I didn't go away immediately. I sat down next to a tree out of her sight and eventually she went back into the house. I heard her screaming in the house.

A minute later a boy who I recognized as Peeta, a boy in my class, came outside with two loaves of burnt bread. He looked behind him and then threw the loaves in my direction. I wondered why he did it, because we never talked to eachother so I wasn't surprised if he would never have noticed me. I stood up to pick up the loaves but then I started to feel dizzy and then I passed out.
