by peeta-mellark-lover

Topaz has lied his entire life to everyone, he may act like a heartless person but he isn t . He thinks that the hunger games are something very special because they give you the opportunity to be a hero and if you fail you don t have to come back as a loser. Topaz has to go to the games and he will have to make hard decisions and betray his friends and family.

1. Chapter 1

I woke up and the first thing i see is Calico´s face saying something to me that I don't understand quite well, I am still sleepy, I know that´s why I can´t understand, I stand up and scratch my light brown hair.

"Sorry I was steel asleep, what were you saying?" I ask to my little brother that isn´t so little at all he grew up more in these past months even though he is only 15 years old.

"Is time to go training Topaz!" Calico screams.

Calico sometimes gets excited to little things like training, I don´t understand why people say we look the same is just that I'm taller, but we are very different like Calico hates the hunger games I don´t know why he doesn't like the games, he also is very social and actually cares about people but me well I prefer to be the heartless guy who has no friends, well I do have friends but it's not like I came to them and talk to them, he is also very slow while me I'm very fast.

"Whatever Calico I will be ready in a minute" I tell him. I take my clothes and pour some water to my face to woke up and when I'm in the door, leaving the house I see Calico not to far away from me, I could run and then walk with him but I'm too lazy to do that besides he is older enough to walk by himself, and also I prefer to walk by myself.

When I finally arrive to training Luster, Dazzle and Jade were already there doing what they always did, after all we are from district 1 we train basically all our lives. I take the spear and start throwing it to the target and when the training its over me and my friends go to our secret place we like to call "the gate" it's a crazy and a last minute name because we didn't have time or imagination to come up with another name, here we talk about the past games and training stuff, actually here is in the only place I could kind of be myself, here I talk and laugh and have some good time.

"Hey Topaz how is Calico? I have heard that he is getting pretty good at training and that he may volunteer this year" said Dazzle.

"Well I don't pay to much attention to him and I don't care what he does but I don't think he will volunteer, first I will go to the games, I´m 17 and he is 15, he has to let his brother to go to the games first because I'm older than him." I said trying not to sound fake but I know I don't because I have been doing lying since a long time ago.

"Oh yeah right, so Jade how are you and Cutter?" asked Luster to her, I know he is jealous he has a big crush on Jade but she has a boyfriend, Cutter who is 18 years old and well I don´t know many things about him.

"We just broke up" said Jade with no emotion in her face, I act all the time like I don't care about anyone but I do care about them.

"Why did you broke up with him? You two were very happy?" Dazzle asks.

"Because the reaping is tomorrow"
