They'd started escorting Madge and Gale to the Justice Building by the time Gene finally speaks. "Guys, can you come with me to see her?"

Jace was the first to speak up, "Sure, dude."

We walked into the buildings and were escorted to the a room with two doors, one for the boy tribute and another for the girl tribute. We all sat on the couches in the room as Madge's parents visit her, followed by other couples I can only guess are her aunts and uncles. Then Gene went in for five minutes and when he came out, he was smiling, but you can tell he had been crying. He gestured for us to go in.

Madge was sitting in the room with her hands in her lap. She was obviously nervous.

"Madge!" Luke cried out as he ran to her. They had been best friends since they were little. She wiped away a tear and laughed, "Hey Luke." He hugged her so hard, it lifted her off the ground. "Hey Peeta, Jace." She said as she straightens her dress.

"Dude. That was super badass out there." Luke said, with his best impersonation of Madge, "Madge Undersee, victor of the 74th Hunger Games."
She giggled, "Well I know that the victors have to choose an angle for their interviews and whatnot, so I decided I'd do cocky. How'd it turn out?"

I spoke up, "Fooled me. And I've known you for as long as I can remember." She smiled. "Thanks Peeta. You know I'm really gonna miss you guys."

"What are you talking about? I mean, you might miss us for a few weeks when you're in the arena, but you'll be back soon enough." Luke defended.

She just sighed and smiled, "Okay Luke. But thanks for being my friends guys.. I mean, you and Katniss are really all I've got. She just came in to see me, and she's probably visiting Gale now.."

Katniss was visiting Gale now? That means I might be able to see her as we leave.. Wait, one of my best friends is probably going to die, and all I can think about is talking to a girl I've been practically stalking for years. I'm such a horrible person, so selfish.

The Peacekeepers came in to escort us out, so we all said our final goodbyes. "Bye Madge, good luck. We're all rooting for you." Luke said as he hugged her one last time.

Gene was talking to the mayor and his wife, who was holding an ice pack to her head, when we exited the room. Everyone knew she had chronic headaches, and I can only imagine what Madge being reaped is doing to her.

He said something to them, goodbyes I assume, and came over to us. "You guys ready?" I nodded and we started walking out of the Building when I bump into somebody. I look down and see a two blue eyes open in shock, staring right at me.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" She said with worry in her voice. "You're fine. It was probably my fault, I can be pretty clumsy sometimes." I say with a smile. She seems to be eased by this as she holds her hand out to me and smiles, "My name is Primrose. But you can call me Prim" I shake her hand, and it hits me. This is Prim Everdeen. As in, sister of Katniss Everdeen. I'd never seen her close up before, but now I recognize that hair, and her big, blue eyes. "I know who you are. I've seen you standing outside my family's bakery, looking at the cakes, right?" Her eyes open wide, "That's your bakery?" I laugh and reply, "Yeah, and if you're ever in that part of town why don't you stop by? I can teach you about frosting the cakes, and maybe we can try some?" Her eyes got even wider, as she answers. "Of course! But I didn't get your name." I laugh, "Oh, it's Peeta. Peeta Mellark." She smiles as she starts to run after Katniss, "Bye Peeta!"

I smile and turn back to my friends who, all but Gene, are engrossed in a conversation about next week's wresting tournament. Sam and I were the favorites to win, and I have a feeling this is my lucky year. I see Katniss say something to Prim, and she turns around and looks at me. I smile as Prim waves and Katniss almost blushes. Yeah, I definitely think this is my lucky year.

Thanks for reading, and happy V-Day :) review and you'll get an imaginary valentine card from none, other, than me ;)
