Chapter 3

The next morning when I wake up I take a quick shower because I was so tired last night that I didn't take one. After my shower and go downstairs for breakfast. "Morning," I say.
"Morning sweetie, here." She hands me a delicious muffin. "Thanks." I eat it and then go upstairs to brush my teeth really fast and get my bag. "I'm leaving, bye!"
"Have a nice day at school!"
Sky told me that she had an orthadontist appointment this morning because she's getting her braces off but she'll be back at school later so I won't be completely bored. "Hey Tyra!" I say. "Hey Ash!" She says. "How was the Capitol?" I personally think most people there look funny and I would never want to live there. And Tyra is the mayor's daughter and since they had to go for a visit for a while, the President invited her to join them. "It was good, but most people look kind of strange but most are really nice. Where's Sky?" "She is getting her braces off but should be back soon." We head on to our classes and we start learning about "The Hunger Games." "Okay class, today we will start our first project!I will make my way around the class and you will pick a piece of paper out and that will be the Games you are researching. Tell me what number you have when I get to you. There is more than one slip of paper so if someone draws the same one as you, you will be partners." I sit there waiting for my turn to pick. She comes to me last and I draw slip 74. "74," I say. She talks about the project and then says if any of us has a problem with their slip they can always change it, and for some reason I think she was refering to me because she looked at me when she said it. The rest of the day passes faster and faster. I go to my locker and drop of some of my books when a note falls out.
Meet me at the big tree in the front of the school after the last bell.
I put the note in my bag and head for art. I finish my flower when my teacher suggests to go on a canvas and paint it, so I do. I scetch half of it when the bell rings. One more class till I find out who this mystery person is. I head to English and we do nothing. We just get our textbooks and talk about upcoming work. Once the final bell rings we head outside. I figure who it is based on the rumors but I want to know for sure. I mean, I do sort of like him now. He's nice and cute and not a jerk anymore. "Hey," I say. "Ashlyn, I've liked you since the first day I meet you but then thought you were annoying but I never realized how beautiful you truly are. Will you go out with me?" "Yes," I say and then I get a big smile and a hug. He is so sweet and I'm glad I decided to give him another chance. He walks me home and asks what slip I got in history. "74." "I got the same one. Looks like we're working together. Lets start researching by ourselves and then we will combine all our information to make the best project ever." "Ok, bye." I say and he gives me a hug. When I walk in my mom asks me who he was and I told her that he just asked me out and I said yes and also how we are working on a project together. "What number did you both get?" "74, I have to do homework and later I'm gonna start researching it." She seemed okay with the fact that I said yes and she knows I will only say yes to boys I like.
"Dinner!" Perfect timing, I just finished my homework so after I can start researching. They ask my little brother how school was and then ask me. "Fine," I answer. "I heard you have a boyfriend." "Yes, I do." "Well you should warn him if he hurts you I will be after him." "It's okay dad. Trust me, and we are also working on a history project together. We had to pick a number games randomly from a hat and we both got 74. Except I was the last one to pick so I doubt that was fixed." "I think you should change it." "Why? Is it because of him?" Why does he care what project I do. It's something that happened in the past. "Your mother and I just don't think that year of the games is worth learning about." "I'm sorry but it's my decision whether or not to change. I'm sorry but I'll switch if I think I need to." I walk upstairs and start watching a piece of it. I put my earbuds in because I don't want them t know. OMIGOD, my parents were in it this year, no wonder why they didn't want me to research it but I'm not a quitter and if they won't tell me, I still have to know what went on to prepare me since even if I decide to change it, I'll still learn about it. I get up to the part where dad confessed his love for her when I decide to shut it down and hide it before I go to sleep.
