The door bell rang.

I squealed as I ran downstairs to open it.

"Hey!" Shay smiled.

"Hi!" I smiled back.

"Ready to go?" Shay asked. I nodded enthusiastically.

He grabbed my hand and we walked across the street to Lilia's house. We knocked on the door, and watched as it opened and Lilia screamed at the top of her lungs, startling both of us.

"Hey!" She cried out. We both waved, and Shay looked kind of irked. We walked in and we were led into the family room.

"Sit in the circle and we are going to go around and play truth or dare." Lilia smiled. Shay and I sat next to each other, and Lilia sat on the other side of Shay.

"Okay, Shay say truth or dare to Pespin first." Lilia grinned.

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"I dare you to...hmmm...lay on the rug...and...think about who you like...and when your done...say yes if the person is here." Shay blushed. I laid on the floor and thought of him. I opened my eyes.

"Yes." I smiled as I sat up.

We went around a lot, and it was a lot of fun.

It was Lilia's turn to ask Shay...

"Truth or Dare?" She said looking into his eyes.

"Dare." He said.

"I dare you...to kiss the prettiest girl here." She snickered.

Shay didn't have to even think about it.

Soon enough, his lips were against mine. It felt amazing. I couldn't believe I was even kissing him until we stopped. Lilia was grinning so widely that it looked like her cheeks hurt. I looked in awe at Shay's face as he searched my face for a sign of good. I don't think he found one though, because he got up out of the room and left. Not just the room, but the house.

I walked home and ran to my room, feeling amazing, yet worried.

I hope he isn't angry with me. I was so shocked that I could barely even move.

Shay thinks I am pretty...

I stood up, and opened up the sliding doors to the closet. I closed it behind me, and pushed my clothes away from the wall in the back. I opened up the small cupboard, and walked through it. When I got out from the other side of shut it and flipped the lock. I grabbed my music book, and sat down on the wooden seat in front of the piano.

I began playing, feeling my hands swiftly play each key, playing a beautiful tune.

I started thinking of Shay once again. Just thinking about how his lips felt against mine made a shudder of love run through my head.

I began playing a tune I heard my Mother sing.

"Are you are you coming to the tree, where they strung a man they say murdered three, strange things did happen here, no starnger would it be, if we met up at midnight at the hanging tree." I stopped. That was all I knew.

No one has ever heard me sing before. Not even play the piano.

I stopped playing. I stood up and looked at my knees. I want to be with Shay.

I walked to the cupboard and went through it. I plopped on my bed, and smiled to myself. I closed my eyes, and soon was asleep.

When I woke up I realized it was Sunday.

I got dress into tight black yoga pants and slipped on a peach colored shirt. I walked downstairs, where my Mother sat at the kitchen table.

"Mom? Can you do the braid?" I asked as I sat in the chair in front of her. She nodded, and gestured for me to turn around. I felt my Mother's cold hands touch the back of my neck, which sent a relaxing shiver down my spine. I felt her tug at the knots, and I felt her pick up more hair and put it into the braid. I felt her tie it at the end.

"Thank you." I smiled softly.

"Where are you going?" She asked with a soft voice.

"I think I am going to use my new skateboard." I informed her as I put on my jean coat.

"Just be careful, sweetheart." She said seriously.

"I will." I replied as I walked out the front door into the cool air. I picked up my black skateboard, and jumped on it. I glided down the street, staring at the woods. I continued to go farther down the street, and I soon got closer to the hob.

I skated down the alley and noticed to figures. I squinted to see who it was, and noticed Shay. Soon enough, I saw there lips meet, and the girl giggled and whispered something.

I smashed into something hard, flipping off of my skateboard onto the ground. My head hurt, not because I nearly cracked it open but because a million questions were running through my head. Did the kiss last night mean anything to him?

I stood up, and brushed the pebbles off of my now scraped hands. I felt a huge lump form in my throat, and I nearly lost the battle of fighting back my tears.

"Pespin? Are you alright?" Just what I didn't want to happen happened. I looked up to see Shay towering over me, his eyes full of worry.

"No." I hissed under my clenched teeth.

"I saw you smack into the brick wall." He chuckled. The girl walked closer and I realized who it was

Lilia.

I felt like I just got punched in the face.

"So this is what you guys do when I am not around? Swallow each other in the alley?" I clenched my fists together, nearly punching Shay in the face.

Shay was silent, and a look of hurt filled his face.

"Pespin-" I cut Lilia off.

"I thought you were my friend!" I cried out, realizing tears were streaming down my face.

"I am!" She said a look of despair written in her eyes.

"If you were my friend you wouldn't be kissing the boy I like!" I snapped. Before they could say anything else, I jumped on my skate board and skated down the alley towards the woods. I jumped off my board and sprinted down the woods, not caring about the branches scratching my face. I fell into the dirt, and dug my hands into it.

I was wailing, yet I didn't care. All I wanted to do was curl into a ball and die, never to be shown again. I stood up and walked for awhile muttering swears under my breath.

"I hate them." I told myself, "They just betrayed me. Both of them." I said loudly.

I walked onto the road, and just walked.

When I made it to my house I walked into the kitchen and kicked off my shoes.

"What happened?" My Mother gasped a look of pure worry in her eyes. Instead of lying, I started sobbing into her warm chest. She stroked my hair, as I wailed my guts out.

I told her everything, how I have no friends, when I made some, when I kissed Shay, and when he betrayed me, not just him but both of them.

"Then they aren't good enough to be your friends." My Mother whispered in my ear. I sat down and wiped my face with my dirty jacket sleeve.

I stared at my Mother and realized we are exactly the same. The same big curls, the same eyes shape, only my eyes are blue and hers are grey, the same face. Even the same personality. Not able to let someone in, but when we do, they get pushed away.

I know why my Mother is so lost sometimes. She watched her own sister die, her friends die, and she was in The Hunger Games. I could never imagine. I always say that my life is terrible, but when I look at my Mother and what she went through, it is not nearly as bad as hers was.

"Go wash up, get ready for supper." My Mother smiled as she went into the family room.

I walked slowly up the steps, every part of my muscles sore from hurting myself. I walked into the bathroom and turned the tub water on. When it was filled with warm water, I stepped in, immediatly feeling my muscles relax. I scrubbed the dirt from my body. Soon enough I was crying again. I stepped out of the water and dried myself off. I walked into my bedroom, and put on my cloth sweater, and a pair of yoga pants. I put my hair up in a ponytail, and I stalked down the steps, feeling crappier than ever.

I could smell the delicious split pea soup, luring me into the kitchen. My Grandmother was sitting at the table, running her fingers through Lux's long blonde hair, as Lux babbled off about something to my Father.

Lux was just like my Father, Peeta. She was amazing at cooking and baking, she talked...a lot, and she had a great spirit about everything. Lathan is a mixture of my parents. He is more like my Mother, but has some high spirit in him. I am just my Mother. Lathan was sitting next to my Mother, resting his chin on his arms, probably thinking about something important.

"Alright, supper is ready!" My Father smiled widely as he put the big pot full of green liquid on the table. I sat down next to my Grandmother. I poured myself some soup, and slurped it generously.

"For desert, I made some peach pie at the bakery." Dad said with enthusiasm. Everyone smiled except me, I just stared at my soup and spun it around using my spoon. I was not in the mood to feel good.

When we were done eating, I laid on the couch.

"What's with the mood?" Lux sat down next to me, with her hands perfectly folded in her lap. I ignored her and continued to stare at the floor, expressionless. Lux can easily tell if your upset, mad, or even suicidal.

"Your upset." She sighed as she rested her head on a pillow. I sat up, and walked up to my bedroom, slamming the door behind me. I crawled into my bed and pulled the covers over top of me as I sobbed into the sheets.

What am I supposed to do tomorrow? Ignore them? or Confront them?

I decided to ignore them.

My tears soaked my face, and I fell asleep thinking of the horrible event that occurred today.
