Peeta sister
Chapter 1
Info and Reaping Day
I'm Rosemary Mellark and I'm Peeta twin sister. We are both 16 years old. I have the same blue eyes, pale skin and blond hair that goes a little bit past my shoulders. I don't really talk to a lot of people, only Prim, Delly and katniss. I also wear regular T-shirts and pants. Me and Peeta share a room.
I was sleeping and someone was shaking me. I just groaned and swung my arm. I heard an 'ow' and tried to go back to sleep. When I was about to fall asleep, I heard.
"Come on Rosie wake up". Peeta, Jeez what does he want with me. He tried something else.
"If you don't wake up, I'm getting mom to do it". When I heard that I woke up quick and sat up right away. He grinned at me and I frowned and said.
"Damn Peeta, why do you have to threaten me like that, it's not fair". I said it with a whine in my voice. Usually I don't whine about things, but I am really tired. I barely got any sleep today, thinking it was the Reaping today. Well I won't say anything, it will just worry him. I don't know if he is worried about it or not, cause he won't say anything either to anyone. He still grinning said.
"It's the only way to get up and don't whine". I rolled my eyes at him and said.
"Yeah well I'm really tired. Anyway get out so I can get dressed. He just walked out and pointed to a dress mom probably left for me today. I put it on and brushed my hair. It was a cloth dress and emerald green. Plus my hair was straight and smooth. I walked out and almost ran into Peeta. He raised his eyebrows at me and said
"Hey now watch it, you look nice sis". I grinned back at him and he went in the room to change. Right before dad left with 2 sacks of flour he said.
"My, don't you look beautiful today". I smiled at him and he went to the bakery to drop the flour off. My mom saw me standing there and yelled.
"ROSEMARY WHAT ARE YOU DOING STANDING, EAT". I sighed and sat down. Damn does she always have to yell? I ate some bread with butter on it. When I was almost finished Peeta came down to sit next to me. He was wearing a button down shirt and some nice slacks. He started eating a little and whispered.
"I heard her yelling; jeez you really are a troublemaker". I smacked him on the arm. I didn't notice her watching us, she yelled.
"ROSEMARY NO HITTING PEOPLE, IT'S UN-LADY LIKE". She left the room and I snorted.
"Yeah, like she knows what being lady like is, she just yells. Peeta laughed at me. He said.
"You're just mad that she yells at you more". I just stuck my tongue at him. He just patted me on the head and I slapped his hand away. He gave me a mock hurt look and said.
"I thought you liked me sis"? I look at him serious and said.
"Nah, you are to annoying to be around". He huffed and ate his food. After he did that all of us went to where the Reaping area will be held. Most of the people were already there and the parents were in one area. Our parents went there, while we went to where all the other 16 year olds are standing. Then this powdered lady came and started making a speech. I think Effie trinket is her name, but I'm not sure. She had on a fake wig, a lot of makeup and creepy clothes. I would have laughed if it wasn't so serious today. But its okay, I and Peeta only have our names in 4 times each. She started saying how it was a great honor and all that blah, blah crap. Ha, yeah right, Stupid Capitol. She pulled a name out of the girls bowl and she called out.
"Primrose Everdeen". Wow that shocked me, Prim only had her name in once. I guess the odds are really not in her favor. Right when prim was about to walk up, Katniss Yelled.
"I volunteer, I volunteer". A bunch of peacekeepers were holding her back. When she said that they let her go. She walked up to the stage, Effie asked.
"Dear what's your name"? Katniss looked upset and answered.
"Katniss Everdeen". Effie smiled at her and said.
"I bet my hat that was your sister". I rolled my eyes, Duh that's why they have the same name. Katniss nodded. I looked at Peeta and he looked upset. Yes, I know about the crush he has on her. I wrapped an arm around him and said.
"Maybe she will win. She is really tough. You see what she does to the squirrels". He nodded, but I could tell he was still upset. We both looked toward the front to see who the boy tribute would be. One day I hope there will be a person to stop the Hunger Games. But that will never happen for a long time. She pulled a name and called.
"Peeta Mellark". I looked at him, he was paler than normal. I yelled.
"NO! NO! PEETA, DON'T GO". I was hugging him tight and would not let go. He was holding me as tight as I was holding him. Then 3 peace keepers were making us come apart and Peeta went to the front and the 3 peacekeepers were holding me back. I was yelling to him. I could not volunteer because I'm a girl. I just remember he had to kill his own crush. My twin has the probability of dying, my other half. They had to shake hands and then they left. Effie was that family could see the tributes in one hour if they want. The peace keepers finally let me go. I went to my mom and dad. Mostly everyone was leaving now.
Instead of leaving and coming back, the 3 of us went to sit on some crates nearby. We just waited for an hour sitting there so we could see Peeta, My twin and the one I would do anything for.
