So this is my first fanfiction. I'm really nervous about it so please tell me if you like it or if I'm doing anything. I want to continue it but I don't know if I should…


It's funny how sometimes you meet people that change you. Whether they change you for better or for worse, they can make a huge a huge impact on your life.

For me, that "person who's changed my life" is Madge Undersee.

I met Madge around the same time I met Katniss. Well, I didn't actually meet her. I knew of her once I met Katniss. Even though she and Madge weren't really close, Katniss did consider Madge her only female friend.

Every once in a while, Katniss would speak of Madge when were out in the woods.

The first day I actually met Madge Undersee was during the 74th Hunger Games.

I was in the square, alone. I couldn't stand to watch the games with the Everdeens and my family.

There weren't that many people there, just a few homeless, most of which were using the benches to sleep on. I was sitting on the farthest bench from the screen.

All of a sudden, I felt someone sit next to me. At first I thought it was Rory, but when I turned, I saw it was Madge.

She smiled sadly. "Is it okay if I sit here?" she asked quietly.

I stared at her, taking a good look at her. Her blonde hair hung loose and was down past her shoulders. She was wearing a plain light blue dress that was actually kind of big on her. Being the mayor's daughter, I thought she always wore nice clothes because she was wealthy. But after seeing her somewhere besides the Reaping, I realized that even though she can afford much better clothes than us Seam kids, she didn't really care about her looks.

"…I was just thinking that since we are both friends with Katniss, even though you and her obviously much closer, I was thinking—actually you know what? Never mind, I'm sorry." Madge said, getting up from the bench. She must have been talking while I was looking at her.

"Did you just say 'we are' both friends with Katniss?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah, so?"

"It's just that… lately everyone's been saying 'Oh Katniss was so nice. Katniss and I were really close'. It's nice to see someone that talks about Katniss in the present tense, you know?"

Madge sat back down. "I know what you mean. It's actually kind of frustrating. I personally think that Katniss has a pretty good chance of winning and I'm not giving up hope that she will." She said quietly.

"The only other person besides you that talks about Katniss like that is Prim."

Madge smiled. "I was so scared when Prim's name was called. I was honestly thinking about volunteering for her but my parents would have killed me. And when Katniss volunteered, I felt relieved for Prim, but scared for Katniss."

"That's exactly how I felt." I replied. I couldn't believe I was being so open with Madge. I wasn't like this with anyone except for Katniss, and even that took time. I had just met Madge and here I was discussing our feelings. I can honestly say I hadn't done that with anyone.

After that, I sort of became close to Madge. After a while she'd come over to my house to watch the game, and eventually, I went to go see it at hers.

Every day we'd watch for Katniss. To make sure she survived. We screamed with joy when she overcame an obstacle, froze in silence when another obstacle. And when the 'Star-Crossed Lovers' kissed, Madge was surprised at first, but seemed kind of happy.

As for me, I was angry. But Madge helped me through it. She told me that she knew Peeta. Peeta was a good guy. He was perfect for Katniss. That wasn't what helped me through it. A little while later, she realized that they might be doing this for the cameras. For the sponsors. To help them win. That's what helped me.

And when Katniss and Peeta came home, I have to admit that Madge and I didn't really talk as much after that. My attention was back on Katniss. After the Victory Tour and everything, I kissed Katniss, realizing that when she was with Peeta, that feeling in the pit of my stomach was jealousy.

But then the 'Star-Crossed Lovers' went back to the arena. And announced their engagement. And announced Katniss' pregnancy. And I just couldn't believe that Katniss could do that.

And somehow, the way that the Hunger Games brought Madge and me together the first time, it brought us together a second time.


So what do you think? Should I continue it? Is it bad? Leave me a review and let me know!
