Me and my mother stand over the fire waiting for bread to bake. Suddenly she sharply turns her ear to the door."Do you hear that?" she asks me. "Hear what?" I ask. She purses her lips together and appears to be waiting for something.I hear a slight clunk outside.
"Seam kids." she starts to mummble as she walks to the door.
As she opens it she begins to yell at someone. I walk over to the door and peer out below her. It's her! It's really her! Why is she looking through our trash? Is she hungry? I would feed her, if I only knew how to do it with my mother around. She looks me in the eye.
We just stare at each other for a slowly puts the lid back on our trash can and walks off, and my mother closes the door. "Go get the bread out!" she screams at me. I walk over to the oven. I think I saw her walk over to our tree. I could eaisly get food to her if my mother wasn't looking. As I grab the loaves of bread I have a plan. No one would buy burned bread would they? I drop the bread into the fire. This makes my mother furious. She tosses the hot bread at me.
I grabit and feel the burns setting into my arms. She grabs a rolling pin and hits me under the eye with it.I let out a high pitch sqeal as I hit the floor. Mother grabs me, pulls me up, and pushes me out the door into the pouring rain. I see Katniss out of the corner of my eye.
Then my mother began yelling stuff like, feed it to the pig, calling me stupid, and how no one decent would buy burned bread. I'm not listening though. I begin tearing of pieces to throw to the pig. Then the front door's bell rings, and my mother retreats back into the store to tend to the costumer. I make sure my mother is gone before I toss the bread over to her. Not looking at her, I turn and walk back into the store.
The next time I see her is in the school yard. Our eyes meet for seconds before I look away. I'm not sure, but I think I saw her pick a single yellow daisy.
