Chapter One
We walked in silence all the way to the edge of the meadow near the woods. We stepped through the hole in the fence. It was not buzzing with electricity. It never was. "Gale are you sure you want to do this?" I asked. "Katniss of course I am sure. I don't want to line in this horrible place anymore." He said. "Well just because you and I want to leave doesn't mean we can! What about Prim and my Mother? We can't just leave them here." I argued. I wanted to storm away but as always Gale gave me a big goofy smile and said "You are beautiful."
As we walked to my house we held hands. We talked about where we would run away to. He said a big open meadow and I said a woodsy area that had a large canopy so that we would not be found. So we agreed on my area. When we got inside no one was home. Mom and Prim were probably out buying goods. I grabbed a few things to take with me. My hunting boots, the jacket my father gave me, a picture of me, Prim, and my parents when we bought our home; two loaves of our five loaves of bread, two ounces of goat cheese Prim made me this morning, one clean shirt, one clean pair of pants, and an extra pair of socks. I put it all in my old satchel I got in 1st grade and walked into the kitchen. And when I walked in I saw Gale on one knee holding a ring.
