AN- Hi, it's Orange Nightlock! I've had this idea for a while and lost my confidence in it a lot... But the first chapter's up now! So... Yay! Has anyone else seen the movie? Isn't it amazing? I would like to thank my amazing, awesome, epic, hilarious beta, Blue Wrackspurts. (if she put a bunch of adjectives there, ignore it.) BUT SHE'S SO AMAZING!

I only own my OCs.

"Who do you think will be picked tomorrow… you know… for the Reaping?" I said with an edge of concern.

"Listen Hedera you are fifteen and you don't have to sign up for tesserae. Your name is only going in five times so relax and enjoy the rest of our walk. Just don't think about it." Denz said with a slight tone of anger.

"Okay." I sighed. There was one problem though; I just couldn't stop thinking about who the new tributes from District 5 would be. It could be anybody. It could be Denz… or even me, but most likely not. Poor Denz is sixteen, almost seventeen and has to sign up for tesserae. Sometimes I think he resents me, but he is one of the only friends I have so I just deal with it.

We didn't talk for the rest of are twenty-five minute walk. When we reached my broad, red door, I was about to apologize when Denz started to say "I am sorry for the way I acted it was uncalled for. It's just that I am worried about Liam. You know, it's his first year being eligible for the reaping and I told him not to sign up for tesserae, but he did behind my back and didn't tell me until today."

"It's okay Denz." I said trying to sound reassuring. All of a sudden Denz brushed my red silky hair out of my face and looked me in the eyes. "I know." He leaned forward, and glided his smooth, gentle hand behind my neck. He pulled me forward, up to his face. This was new, I mean I always found him charming, but I never thought he paid attention to me, well other than being friends and all. We were so close to each other, I could feel the warmth of his breath. Our lips were just about to touch when I heard the door knob jiggle open.

We both broke away almost immediately. Once I turned around I saw my tall, Scrawny, redhead, freckle-faced older brother.

"Hi there…" My brother said trying to sound humorous, which it wasn't.

"Hello Aden, lovely afternoon isn't it?" I said trying to get off subject.

"Just lovely… anyways,hi Denz."

"Hi…." Denz's voice trailed off.

"So, where are you going?" I said.

"Oh me, I'm going to the market to hang out with Garret and Jarred. You know them right Denz?" My brother and Denz are in the same year at school, but Denz doesn't like them at, and my brother knows that.

"Yeah, I know them." He said under his breathe.

When we said our goodbyes my brother gave me a menacing look, but at this point I really don't care.

I stepped inside my small clean house seeing my one of my older brothers, and my two younger brothers, who are twins. I saw my parents staring at me.

"where have you been Hedera?" My mother asked with concern.

"I was just with Denz walking from school, and then we went to the market. I am going to bed I don't feel good." I stormed out the room. My parents don't like Denz. They think he is scummy, because of where he lives, and how much money he has. I am not claiming we have a lot of money but we have enough to know we will have food on the table. I hate that they disapprove of him.

Right before I jump into bed I look in the mirror and ask

"Why would someone love me?"

So... review and such.
