Hey Everybody! This is just something that popped into my head and I LOVED! Lol! Anyway, I LOVE the Hunger Games (GO PEENISS!) and I read all the books. I decided to start writing some HG FF! Something's you will NEED to know:
1. Peeta has never met any of the other characters yet and vice versa
2. Gale isn't in love with Katniss
3. This is just a chapter to see if you guys like it! My other chapters will be longer!

Ok, since my summary was too long for the summary box, here it is:

Katniss and her brother, Gabe, have a great life. When they're not in their homes in Victor Village, their either at the Capital or in the other districts. When your dad won the Hunger Games, what more could expect. When the 3rd Quarter Quell comes around, Katniss, Hunter, Clove (her best friends) and Cato (her cousin) meet some new people that could change their lives. What will they find? Love, Hate or Nightmares?

Hope you guys enjoy!

No POV:

He woke up to the sound of his mother calling his name from downstairs. "Peeta Lucas Mellark! Get out of bed this instant!" Peeta climbed out of bed and put on jeans, a plain white t-shirt and his white apron. He didn't bother fixing his hair. He walked down into the bakery still half asleep.

"Peeta, what are you wearing? The reaping is today! You need to get dressed and fix your hair" his mother, Margo, said. She led him upstairs and picked out a pair of black pants and a blue button-up. Peeta changed and went down stairs.

He didn't understand why he needed to go. This year was the 3rd Quarter Quell, so the rules changed. This year, instead of 12-18 year olds, the reaping consisted of 18-30 year olds. This meant that his mother was entered, 7 times! It wouldn't matter this year anyway. Peeta was only 8 years old, so his name wouldn't be entered for another 4 years.

Still, he let his mother fix this hair, which he hated! He hated the feeling of gel in his hair. It was gloopy and slimy and he hated it. His mother looked at him, smiled and kissed him on the forehead. Peeta knew his mother was worried, but there's nothing to worry about. I mean, when does a single mother and bakery owner get chosen for the Hunger Games?

She woke up to the sound of two 8 year olds boys running around her house. This is how it was every year. Gabe and Cato would run around trying to get ready for the reaping. "Katniss! We need to be at the Justice Building in 1 hour! We're gonna be late" her cousin, Cato said, trying to figure out how to tie his tie. Gabe, her brother, tried to help, but failed as well. They walked out of her room and went to find her dad, Dirk Everdeen.

Every year was the same. Katniss, Gabe, Cato and Clove were brought to the Justice Building to sit in a room and wait for her father's friend, Effie, to choose the tributes for this year's Hunger Games. After that, they were on their way to the Capital for about 2 weeks. The games ended, they went to their home in Victor Village, and, sometimes, were brought on the Victor Tour. Every year for her last 8 years of existence, Katniss did this.

It's not that she hated it, she loved it. She would see Haymitch, who was always around anyway, and Effie, Cinna, Portia, Ceaser, and sometimes President Snow, who scared her.

Katniss got up and put on this years' reaping dress; an orange dress that came about mid-calf with a white sash across her waist with a white flower. She unbraided her hair and brushed it, making it wavy. After cleaning herself up, she went downstairs. In her kitchen was her father, Gabe, Cato, Haymitch and her best friend, Clove. Clove's parents both died, so she lives with Haymitch.

Katniss thought Clove looked really pretty, she always did, but she knew that Clove was dying on the inside. Clove HATED dresses, especially the baby blue one she had on right now. Clove is the kinda girl that would rather be in jeans and a tee with her hair in a pony-tale. Katniss was a lot like her best friend. She would rather have her hair in her signature braid in jeans and a shirt. That's just the way they are; that's why their best friends.

"Nice dress Clove" she said, knowing how Clove would react. As expected by everyone, Clove sticks her lounge out. "Who's excited for today's reaping?" Gabe asked taking a bite of a muffin. "Yeah. It's our first Quarter Quell!" Cato continued. Clove and Katniss shrugged and grabbed muffins. The reaping never really meant anything to them. To them, Effie was choosing 2 people to be killed. Even though Hunger Games season was her favorite time (the parties, the fashion, the Capital) she hated the idea of the actual games.

They finished their breakfast and made their way to the Justice Building. When they got inside, they saw Mayor Undersee and his daughter, Madge. Madge wore a white dress. The kids smiled at each other. They didn't really know Madge; in fact, they didn't know many other kids. Besides each other, they knew Annie, Johanna, Marcus and Finnick- that's it. "Katniss, Clove, Gabe and Cato, you guys will wait in here," Dirk said pointing to the door. "And Madge," Mayor Undersee said, "You will wait in my office." Dirk kissed the kids on the head and left with Mayor Undersee.

Do you know what makes me mad? WHEN PEOPLE DON'T REVIEW! Thus, PLEASE review! I really wanna know what you think and what I should change! PLEASE! If you don't, I might just die! Thanks and love you guys! 33
