"You...What?" I say cocking a eyebrow He blushed lightly "You heard me..." He murmered "But if you dont like me back I-" He couldnt finish, I Kissed him. It was my first kiss, I dont know what was going on in my head when I kissed him. But I loved it, I loved him.

I have loved him for some time now but I never had the guts to say it. It felt like the world melted away when we kissed.

He wraps his arms around me and I caress his cheek we continue kissing for a moment until we heard Gale.

"Your...making out with Prim.." he said wide eyes "No! Why are you even here Gale?" I reply "Well I came to get you both for supper but apparently when my brother leaves the house he is kissing Katniss' sister." he replied "Your just jealous cause Katniss didn't like you Gale!" Rory chimed in. Gale looked at him. "I am not jealous of a couple of 12 year olds."He said. "Thats what it looks like Gale..." Rory said smirking. "Oh shut up Rory, You guys continue...Or whatever..." He said walking off and I felt a blush spread on my cheeks.

I have realized that with Rory I had forgotten about Katniss and I felt safe for the first time since I was told I am old enough to be apart of these games.

When Gale was out of site Rory smiled "I take it you like me back?" he said."No Rory, I just randomly kiss people to get them to shut up." I said smirking, he looked at me puzzled. "Of course I do Rory." I laughed. We got up from the little area by the fence and walked back to his house for supper.

After we got there and we sat at the table with mix-matched chairs Hazelle gave each of us a small helping of Game and wild plants. And we all sat, The house is still aching from Katniss not being here.

"So where did you and Prim go Rory?" Vick asked smirking. I had a feeling Gale told him. And of course Hazelle and Mother looked at us. Rory rolled his eyes. "Why do you care?" Rory asked carelessly. Gale just shook his head, I felt very awkward ."Cause Gale said you guys were busy when he came back." Vick replied." we were busy, We were talking thats all Vick." Vick glared at Rory like he knew he was lying. "Is that so Prim?" Hazelle asked. I nodded. "Yes, Rory got my mind off of Katniss for awhile" I said smiling .Mom nodded. "Thats good." We finished and headed to the living room Gale went to the bedroom where him and his siblings stay."He wouldn't want to watch it." Hazelle said shaking her head.

Rory sighed and we sat next to each other on the floor. Posy on my left and Rory on my right. She smiled up at me and I smiled back. We watched recaps of the reapings and Of course there I was screaming and yelling when she volunteered. 'I hate this.' I thought. 'I hate this so much.' My mind went back to thinking about her, What would happen if Katniss hadn't taken my place I would have died just like Rory said. I wouldn't make it past the Bloodbath at the cornucopia, And it makes me think...Will Katniss?

I sigh as they turn off the television set. Rory looks at me and reassuringly smiles and hugs me. Posy smiles "Its okay Prim! Katniss will be back!" She said while grinning. I nod, I know I cant tell her she probably wont. Shes to young to understand this all.

Mother calls me and I know its time to leave, I have to sleep. I'm walking toward the door to leave "Bye Prim, We'll see you soon." I nod "Okay Gale, I'll see you too." I smile politly. "We'll see you in the square in a few days for the Games." Mom said to Hayzelle and the others. She nods, she has nothing to say."I'll see you in school tomorrow Prim." Rory calls from the other side of the room.I shake my head. "I wont be there tomorrow, They're letting me stay home because of Katniss...""Oh Thats right, Some of the other tributes relatives stayed out of school a few weeks to recover." Hazelle says.I nod and begin to walk out. Mother is walking some time behind me as I Half-run-half-walk back home its not a long walk, But it seems to take ages as the tears fall.
