THE 85 HUNGER GAMES
Chapter 1: The reaping
I was walking home from school today as I saw my mother Katniss outside talking to Gale. I walked inside as my father Peeta in the kitchen making some bread. I'm Ashley Rose Mellark. I have blue eyes, black hair, I'm 5'5 and very cute. I didn't mind everyone coming around me wanting to know how my mom and dad won the Hunger Games, or how did your mom and dad get together or
things like that. All that I cared about were two things. 1) To not get picked for The Hunger Games and 2) my crush getting picked. Well…..I was way off. It was the reaping day in district 12 and I got picked. Everyone cheered and all I was kind of happy they did. I mean the Capital was so much better now with it under new ruling everyone got feed now, new jobs, and everything! But I stopped smiling after my crush James Taylor Black got picked. James was 5'6 an inch taller than me, Brown eyes, dirty blond hair and was really cute. I thought to myself "NO! HES GONNA END UP DEAD!" I felt like I was going to cry. I was taken to the train with James and Effie and I just looked out the window. We got onto the train ending up finding out that my mom and dad are going to prepare us! I felt like I was going to faint. "HOLY SHIT! YOU GUYS ARE GONNA BE OUR MENTORS! COOL!" James had said. I saw how happy he was and I just went with it. When we got off the train when James pulled me into the hotel where my mom and dad stayed. We got onto
the elevator and rode up to the 12th floor just to get ready for the big thing tonight when everyone gets to meet the "lucky" guys and girls who are playing in The Hunger Games this year. I sighed knowing my mom was going to help me and saw my mother walk in
"Who is that boy missy?"
"What mom?"
"Who's that boy you kept eyeing on the train?"
I looked down blushing a deep red "He's James Taylor Black the cutest boy in the 7th grade and my crush mom" I said and all she did was get a huge smile and hugged me so tightly I could barely hug back. Now it was time to let the capital see the true me tonight. I wanted to die.
It was the night that the Capital got to see the "lucky" ones who plays in The Hunger Games and I was dressed in a black dress that when I spin I went on fire and stayed on fire. James was dressed in a tux that went on fire without even saying anything or doing anything. He had an easy job all the girls liked him and all the boys liked me so it wasn't hard not be noticed. But all I wanted was James and no one else! I hated that all the girls in the Capital the night when we were going to be welcomed all the girls drooled over her. I wanted to run off and leave for good but one guy out of district 2 who winked at me caught my eye. He must have caught James eye to because James did not seem all that happy when the guy winked at me. After when I walking to the elevator that guy from district 2 caught up with me. His name is Alec Troy Justice. He was a really cute boy. He was 5'5. He had blue eyes blond hair and a nice tan. We talked as the elevator door closed not hearing James running to the door.
" Come join me for dinner tonight" Alec said smiling. I nodded smiling as Alec kissed my hand and got off the elevator. I blushed riding it up to my floor and got off and skipped to my room. I really forgot about James and all on my mind was...Alec and nothing else.
