I would just like to apologise to my Both of Us readers, my laptop has crashed and I have lost all my information for Chapter 5 :( I wrote this on my iPad. I am so sorry and I hope this can make up for the loss until I get it sorted again. Just a little one shot of a character I createI. Just her thoughts about the current situation in Catching Fire :) enjoy please let me know if you would like more stories like this.

p.s: I do not own the Hunger Games, the wonderfully talented Suzanne Collins did x

Unknown

He knows nothing of me. Not my name, where I am from. Not who I am. Everyday I see the blue eyed baker flash a smile at the lowly grey eyed hunger from the Seam and she would think nothing of him.

He loves her. But she loves Gale. It's obvious.

I cannot help but feel jealous of Katniss. She is Peeta's world, his everything yet she gives him nothing in return for his undying love. But still, how do I, Laurel Oscar, compare to the girl on fire?

I am no where near as beautiful for him to notice. My emerald eyes are ashamed to sparkle when they view the stormy grey of Miss Everdeen.

I do not have courage, or strength or am selfless enough to give up my life to save my family.

Then again, I have no family.

My mother was a teenager when she gave birth to me, my father was reaped before I was born. And soon my mother died of starvation and I was taken into the care of Greasy Sae, a trades woman - who makes soup out of anything - from the Hob.

I have nothing against Katniss. Honestly. I have traded with her since her winnings of the 74th Games, and she is lovely and genuinely kind. It is that I cannot bear looking at the star-crossed lovers from District 12. The unfortunate newly-weds. I know it is all fake, even the baby that they are supposedly having together. There must be something more to the situation than what meets the eye. I find it difficult to believe she pulled out the nightlock in an act of love for him, or that it was chance they have to go into the arena for the second time.

I can't watch it any longer, Peeta almost died from walking into a force field. I can't watch their kisses or the lovey dovey embraces they give. The last thing I seem was Katniss leaving him and going to use Beetee's wire to electrify the beach with Johanna Mason from District 7. That was when I had to leave for fresh air. It has been a while now since I last watched the games - I wonder how the plan is working out.

Wait. Is that... A hovercraft? From the Capitol? It looks like things are falling from it, hmm.

Aaaah! It's dropping bombs! What is happening, I don't understand this at all! Everyone is running around and screaming now. Something must have happened, I knew something was wrong!

There is Gale! He's heading out to the woods with Ms Everdeen and Primrose. I've got to follow him, he knows what to do.

"Gale! Wait for me! Please wait!" He can't hear me, but he turns around to warn me of something.

Now I turn around to see... I'm blown sky high and I can now see a bright light...
