A/N: so thanks to our first reviewers –carmencielle- it's our very first story so please take it easy on us first timers ;) –Rachel- Thanks LOL and ILY! Can't wait to see you on Monday and are we all gonna sit where we sat last year in the gym? I'm saying our, we, us etc. because my bestest friend ever and I are writing this story together, this is a joint account. OH! We forgot to put this in the first chapter so I'll just make up for it now.
Disclaimer: we don't own the Hunger Games. Suzanne Collins does. If we did own it there would be a Madge in the upcoming movie and a better Gale, Katniss, and Peeta would have blue eyes. We don't own apple either or Tom's or Converse *tear*. But we do own Shelby, Adam, Chelsey, Finn, James, Serena, Blake, and Rachel and Panem Eagle (LOL)! Enough with my rambling on with the story! Enjoy you H-Gamers or tributes? Whichever our fan name is! ;)
***11 years later***
"ADAM! GET YOUR LAZY BUTT UP TODAY'S THE DAY WE FINNALY TURN 16!" I yelled from the kitchen, where I was helping dad make our birthday breakfast. I basically had to force him to let me help him with it. I was taking out the cheesy bread out of the oven when Adam came trudging down the stairs.
"You know Shelby if it's our birthday I should have at least gotten the chance to sleep in." he said rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he was still in his pj's , a pair of gym shorts, I rolled my eyes at him and said
"It's almost ten in the morning you got to sleep in so shut up, and go put on some clothes, and this isn't even breakfast anymore it's more like a birthday brunch." Dad was snickering while he heard me and Adam bicker it was like this every morning but today was special we get to have our sweet sixteen I've been planning for this since I was ten!
"You're the one to talk, you need to go put some clothes on, oh and you're not at soccer practice Shelbs!" I put the cheesy bread on the counter and turned around with my mouth wide open sure I was still in my pj's they were booty shorts and a tank top plus I was wearing an apron.
"HEY! SHUT UP! AT LEAST I'M NOT HALF NAKED LIKE YOU ARE!" he rolled his eyes at me just because he was the captain of the wrestling team doesn't make him all high and mighty
"DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE BITCH!" he said I again rolled my eyes at him and said
"OH, IM SHAKING, WHAT'S BIG, BAD ADAM GONNA DO? COME OVER HERE AND I'LL SWEAR YOUR FACE IS GOING TO BE FUCKED UP FOR THE PARTY TONIGHT!"
"OH! HELL NO, YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT! ALL RIGHT BITCH I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE MY TWIN SISTER AND I REALLY DON'T CARE THAT I CANT HIT A GIRL BECAUSE YOUR ABOUT TO GET WHOOPED!" I narrowed my eyes at him as he came over towards me as always my dad intervenes right before Adam can do any real damage
"HEY! CALM DOWN YOU TWO SHELBY, APOLOGIZE TO ADAM FOR THREATING HIM, AND ADAM APOLOGIZE TO SHELBY FOR THE SAME!" dad yelled, he never yells at us unless we get in a bad fight like we just did.
"Sorry" we both said at the same time.
"Good now both of you go eat your brunch or breakfast whatever you want to call it, then both of you go upstairs and put some clothes on." Dad knows exactly what to do whenever Adam and I fight. I went to the kitchen table glaring at Adam all the way; he was glaring back at me the whole time I finished eating before he did. I went upstairs took a shower, put on a pair of hot pink skinny jeans, and a black halter top, then I took out my IPhone and looked at the invite list Chelsey Odair , my best friend, is coming we've been best friends since I can remember. She used to live in district 4 then a few years back her family moved to district 12. Adam invited her brother, my crush and one of my best guy friends, and his best friend A.K.A Finn Odair he is the finniest guy I've ever seen. Then I also invited Rachel Mason she's one of my friends she used to live in district 8 with her mom and brother and they moved down here. Again Adam invited her brother Blake Mason who is one of my best guy friends and another one of his friends I've also heard he has a crush on Chelsey. Then I invited Serena Hawthorne we talk to each other but not as much as I talk to Chelsey or Rachel but we talk enough to be called friends. Adam had to invite her brother James Hawthorne I heard he is such a player, I also heard that he was from district 2, my dad told me that his parents and my parents have some history together as with all my other friends parents too, so I just hoped they could all leave us alone so we could sneak some of Haymitch's liquor for later tonight.
"Hey, Chelsey wake up!" my sister is such a deep sleeper nothing would wake her up. I fill a cup of water up and dump it on her head. She jumps out of bed and screams
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR FINN?" she looked like she was about to friggin' kill me
"Do you even remember what today is?" I asked her she looked confused then reality hit her like a train.
"Oh yea today's Shelby's and Adam's birthday!" she said with a grin on her face stretching from ear to ear
"So whatcha get her finny?" she asked me wiggling her eyebrows, she knows that I have a major crush on Shelby, she's known ever since I couldn't stop staring at her at my birthday two months ago she was wearing a beautiful gold colored dress that stop 5" above her knee her black hair has falling around her in perfect little ringlets she had a golden heart shaped locket necklace around her neck and she had a golden bracelet around her left wrist she had black ballet slippers on and a anklet around her left ankle. She was laughing, I loved her ever since I can remember she's the most perfect girl ever she has the most prefect singing voice and she isn't scared of anything she's so brave. James Hawthorne walked over to where she was I also knew that James liked her, he was a player and if he ever broke Shelby's heart I would know for sure I was going to kick his ass, she stopped laughing with my sister, Chelsey walked over towards me to watch the drama unfold. We could hear them talking
"Come on baby; go out with me you know you want to." James said wrapping his arms around her waist I could feel jealously and anger boiling in my blood as I watched them. To my surprise she was scowling at him she wiggled out of his arms and slapped him across the face she yelled at him
"NEVER EVER TOUCH ME! AND I AM NOT EVER GOING TO GO OUT WITH AN IDIOT LIKE YOU!" Blake, Adam, Rachel, And Chelsey were all laughing at James I was relieved to know that she didn't like him. I looked at her she was walking over to us
"Hey Finny, Chels happy birthday and sorry for all this drama at your party." She bit her lip after she said this I smiled at her she was the sweetest girl ever. I came back from the flash back
"I got her a golden bow." Chels looked at me with a confused face "It's not solid gold if not it would be too heavy, it's made of fools gold." I stated
"OH that's cool I just got her some CDs from before Panem from this group called Glee they sound pretty good but have some horrible songs she likes them so I just got her that for her b-day." My sister can be so mean sometimes but at the same time she can be so sweet.
"I think she will be happy with our gifts" I said with a huge grin
"Me too!" exclaimed Chels
"Guys come down to eat you slept in really late it's around 12:00 so come eat some lunch!" said dad.
"Alright dad, we'll be right down!" me and Chels washed our teeth and ran downstairs.
I wake up to a quiet house mom and Rachel must still be asleep, I swing my legs over the side of the bed and get up and stretch my back. I hear a few bones pop I walked to the bathroom to wash my teeth and face, I then walked down to the kitchen there's a note of the fridge
'Blake,
Mom and I are in town buying a few last minute things for Shelby and Adam's birthday tonight. So don't freak out if you can't find us just chill out and get ready for the party were going to leave for 's house around 5:00 P.m party starts at 5:30 mom and the rest of parents are going to be Mr. and Mrs. Mellark's house.
_Rachel xoxo'
So Rachel's out buying Shelby and Adam's gifts she always does things last minute I take a deep breath she's such a procrastinator I on the other hand do things with days to spare. I go to the fridge and make a sandwich and get a soda and plop down on the couch and watch some T.V. when it's around 4:00 I go upstairs to get ready I take a shower when I get out I wrap a towel around my waist and walk out to my room I set out a pair of jeans and a bright blue polo shirt and a pair of sneakers. It's 4:30 when I go back downstairs and its 4:31 when mom and Rachel come through the door Rachel's red hair is in a ponytail and she comes in with two boxes which I suppose are Adam's and Shelby's gifts. Mom walks in with some bags
"OH, Blake your ready that's good your such a good boy unlike your sister!" she said glaring at Rachel.
"Well sssooorrrrryyyy I'm not the perfect child you always wanted MOM!" she said glaring back at her
" mom, Rachel calm down what happened and Rachel you could hurry up and get ready for the party its 4:32 now." She looked at me and gasped and grabbed the bag my mom had thrown on the floor and ran upstairs. I rolled my eyes while mom walked up the stairs muttering to herself about Rachel's behavior.
My hair falls down my back in a cascade of blonde just like my mother's I'm wearing purple skinny jeans and a white tunic top with a pair of white tom's.
"Stop trying to make yourself look hot Serena it's not your birthday!" yelled James from his room I rolled my eyes and went downstairs to the living room to check if everything was ready for Shelby's and Adam's party. I heard James storming down the stairs.
"Whoa, where's the fire?" I seriously wanted to know why he was looking so frantic it's only 5:20, whoa, wait, what! 5:20 no wonder James was running franticly towards the door with gifts in hand.
"YO, JAMES WAITS FOR ME BRO!" I yelled after I locked the door and ran after him.
It's 5:30 both me and Shelby are at the top of the stairs with our parents and all of our parents friends taking pictures of us. I wore a pair of jeans and a lime green polo with a pair of lime green converse. While Shelby was wearing a pair of hot pink skinny jeans a black halter top and a pair of black ballet slippers. They party was going to be at Haymitch's house so I can already say it's going to be fun because number one our parents aren't going to be there, and number two were all probably drink some of Haymitch's liquor. Me and Shelby walk down the stairs our parents hug us and congratulate us so do our friends parents we walk out the door close it behind us and let out a breath we both didn't know we were holding. As we walked to Haymitch's house Shelby said
"Hey, Adam do you know if Finny likes anyone?" huh. Why is she asking me about Finn, I need to ask her a question about Chelsey? That girl is like super hot, most guys say Shelby is hot and I'll say 'dude remember that's my sister' then they'll burst out laughing although I do notice Finn staring at my sister during lunch time.
"Ah, no I don't think he likes any one. Why do you ask? And I have a question for you." She looked diassapointed when I told her I think he doesn't like anyone but she quickly recovered her happy face for the party.
"Ok, well no reason just wanted to know. And ask away I'm all ears." She said
"Well, do you know if Chels likes anyone?" I can feel my face burning but I just ignore it
"Ummmm, think she does like someone." She giggled, WTF! She only giggles when she knows something I don't, which is a lot of things since considering she got the smarter half of the gene pool. I narrowed my eyes at her she was a having a full raging giggle fit I'm surprised she didn't fall on the ground like usual. We got to the porch steps of Haymitch's house we walked up I offered Shelby my arm she took and we opened the door to everyone scream happy birthday.
Chels came running straight towards me and gave me the biggest hugs she's ever given
"Happy birthday Shelby!" she smiled at me with a grin from ear to ear and getting bigger which kind of scared me even though it was out of pure joy.
"Thanks!" Finny was standing right behind her when she walked over to Adam he came up to me. I felt kind of nervous he's so hot I'm standing at a mere 5'0 while he's like 5'8 or 5'9 he is wearing jeans a polo shirt from Panem Eagle and a pair of Converse. He came and hugged me I loved the feeling I get when his arms are around me. I feel safe, comfortable, and like I belong there. We let go and he said
"Happy birthday Shelby, I love you." He flashed me a grin that was so beautiful I just smiled back at him
"Thanks, and I love you too!" I smiled back at him and he went over to Adam. Blake came over and we did our little special handshake he hugged me and said happy birthday. Rachel and Serena came over to tell me happy birthday then James came over I swear I hate that douche when he got closer out of my peripheral vision I could see Adam, Blake and Finny all take a defensive stance. I also took a more defensive stance when he came I thought he going to try to hug me but he just put his hand to shake it like an actual civil person while I shook it he said happy birthday then left I was somewhat relieved he didn't try anything. We all went to Haymitch's backyard there was a table with drinks like whisky, beer, and wine. Then there were table with food another table with all the music equipment. We all started dance to this song called 'Tonight, Tonight' by Hot Chelle Rae an before Panem band. Serena, Rachel, Blake, Adam, Chelsey, and James all started to drink. Finny and I fell to peer pressure and started drinking too. We all started drinking and dancing on each other with this song 'Shots' by another before Panem band LMFAO. We had karaoke and we all drunk I got up on the stage and said
"Who all wantsss to hear me ssssingg" I slurred I heard various 'yeas' and 'whoops'. I looked at the machine to pick a song and I picked the song 'Good Girl Gone Bad' By Rihanna an excellent before Panem singer
"Easy for a good girl to go bad and once we gone (gone) best believe we've gone forever don't be don't be the reason you better learn how to treat us right 'cause once a good girl goes bad we die forever" I see Chelsey making out with Blake, Rachel dancing all up on James, Finny is staring at me, Adam is making out with Serena, they look like they are having sex with clothes on. This other song called 'Shut Up and Drive' By Rihanna too started and we all started going really crazy! Chelsey and James were kissing; Finny and I were dancing all on each other Serena was lap dancing Blake and Rachel was doing the same thing Serena did with Adam. Next thing I know its morning Adam is asleep next to me and so is Finny and Chels is draped on top of my legs and I'm only in my bra and panties. I sit up and notice everyone only have underclothes on, and all of our parents are standing over us after a few seconds Chels, Finny, Adam, Blake, Serena, Rachel, and James all get up. All of our parents look furious.
