So. Peeta and Katniss have teamed up. Well, I think that we always knew it would happen eventually, especially after that announcement. They're lucky, though. They might get through this together. Even if I do win, I'm not going to have anybody. I'll only be known as the girl who won the Hunger Games the year that the star-crossed lovers could have got through it. If they don't win, whoever does will be disliked – Hell, despised – by most districts.
I've been tailing them since Peeta could walk to see where they get their food – I haven't eaten in two days, but they haven't noticed me yet and I plan to keep it that way.

Deep breath. Deeper breath. Come on, get through it. It can't be the berries – they were planning on eating them. Then what is it? It must just be my body reacting to the first food in a couple of days. That's it. That must be it. Okay, it's easing off a bit now. See? I said it'd get
