This is actually becoming one of my favorite stories. It's easy and hard to write for a couple who doesn't have any information on them. I really love writing about the minor character too because I thought they should've gotten more screen time, or at least some of them should have gotten a permanent name. Enjoy!

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Buck asked traveling around in circles in font of me, "He would have killed you if I hadn't taken you away"

"Thanks I owe you one" I tried to say my nicest knowing he was right

"Welcome but why did you talk back to him anyways?"

"Well it's true nothing so far has been fair and I just couldn't handle it, plus Amber was being so nice to us that I didn't want him yelling at all four of us" I said laying my head in my hands, when he didn't respond I noticed something. He was blushing.

"Wait a second, you like Amber!" I screamed in a girly voice I didn't even know I had

"Not a word of this to her!" That made him blush anymore

"Lips sealed, wow you like Amber, you know she's taller than you and probably a tad older?" I asked

"Love is blind" He responded shrugging

"Yeah I guess so" I said

"What about you huh? I noticed how you kept looking at Noah and you two were both blushing at each other!" He pointed out which made me blush again, "Aha!"

"I don't know what you're talking about" I responded looking down

"Yeah right-" He began to say but was cut off by Daniel opening the door and slamming it behind him

"You made me look like a fool out there!" He yelled at me and Buck sat next to me to make sure nothing bad happened to me

"Just stating my honest opinion sir" I told him in almost a whisper

"Yeah? Well you know what? I'm done with you I refuse to teach you anything!" He screamed heading toward the door

"You can't do that! You have to teach me or I'll die out there!" I yelled after him

"Should've thought of that before you began mouthing off at me! You seriously thought up you could do that to me without getting some sort of punishment!" He reached the door and slammed it shut

My mouth stayed about half open knowing I wasn't going to see him again until the interviews. I was going to die! Maybe before I had the slightest chance of not dying at the Cornucopia but now I was destined to be the first to die. No tears came out but I did fall to the ground. Buck came to be with me again. He was such a great friend, I don't think I would've been okay with anyone else as my partner.

"You know you'll still have a chance Riley" He offered

"That's easy for you to say, you get to be trained by a grumpy guy but at least he survived a Hunger Games before in his life"

"I'm not looking forward to it" He huffed

We heard a knock at the door. I tried my best to cover up my emotions in case Daniel had come back to give me a second chance. Buck told them to come in and the door slowly opened. Amber walked in with a giant grin on her face. She looked down at me and her expression changed slightly.

"Hey Riley! Hey Buck! I'm a bit confused though, I thought this was just Bucks room? I'm glad to see you here to Riley though don't get me wrong"

Buck got up, "Yeah it is my room but I had to bring Riley here after the scene with Daniel at the trains"

"Daniel?" She asked a bit confused

"He's our mentor" Buck responded and I was glad he didn't bring up that he was only his mentor now

"Ohh"

"You know if you came to talk to Buck maybe I should leave, I have to go get ready for dinner anyways" I go up and began to walk but was stopped by Amber

"Actually I came to tell Buck first and then I was going to go tell you but since both of you are here it'll just save time by my telling you together" Amber smiled

"So what'd you want to say?" Buck questioned her and I noticed the blush on his face

"Some of the tributes planned a party at the roof of the building for later at night and I was told to spread the news around, you think you can make it?"

"Of course! Sounds fun but a little unexpected" Buck immediately answered

"I don't know if I should go, I'm not really a people person and it's been a long day" I yawned

"Riley! You have to have to make it I don't have any other friends here and I would be really lonely" Amber begged

"Yeah Riley, it'll be fun and you'll have both of us in case you don't like it" Buck also begged

"Okay I guess I can go for a little bit" I sighed and they both got excited

"Great so ill just go back to my room, it starts in about an hour but it lasts all night" She cheered as she headed out and left closing the door slowly behind her

"I should go to doesn't really sound like a party to dress up for but I can't wear just anything lying around either" I headed for the door

"Of course hey Riley is it fine if I meet up with you in about fifty minutes, I've never been to a party before and I don't want to go in alone" He shyly asked

"Sure I'm guessing my room is just next door so ill see you there" With that I left closing the door behind me. I hadn't told Buck but this was my first party too and I was actually feeling nervous too. What was I suppose to wear. Did I seriously just say yes to having fun with people who would be trying to cut me open in a coup,e of days?

I had been right and my door was just next door. To my surprise when I opened it it looked exactly like Bucks but everything that had been blue in his room was pink in mine. I made my way to a large mirror. My reaping dress. I looked like a lemon with red hair. My hair needed serious brushing and that's when it came to me. They hadn't given me time to get anything ready so I had nothing to wear. I noticed a few cabinets to the left side of my room and found clothes in there.

'Great they've probably reused these clothes for years now'

I didn't have much of a choice though. I looked through them and found a pair of dark jeans and a simple blacks shirt. I couldn't find a brush so I did the best I could with my fingers. It didn't look bad but I decided to wear it in a ponytail leaving my bangs out. I looked a bit too simple so I added a pair of black hoop earrings I found in a jewelry box about the cabinets.

I looked at myself and thought everything was perfect. I looks at the clock beside my bed. Interesting way it was designed. Obviously by the Capitol. It read 6:45. Great it was just about time. A sudden knock at my door told me I was right an I opened it to Buck.

He was wearing a purple striped blu shirt. It was the first time I had really noticed his taste and it was a lot different than mine but perfect for someone as cheery and easy going as Amber.

"Are you ready?" He asked me smiling

"Yeah" I quickly responded closing the door behind me

We made our way across the large hall and made our way to the stairs that headed up to the roof. We stopped at the door and stood nervously. We were about to meet half of the people were were going to fighting with for our lives..
