Oh my gosh! Im so flippen sorry i haven't updated in forever. I am now letting you throw a cupcake at me. Im ashamed... But now i am back so expect updates more often! Enjoy this short chapter.

Oh by the way i still, no matter how much i want it to be, hunger games is not mine...

I wake up with my stomach in knots. I shoot out of bed and race to the bathroom. I release my insides and flush them down the toilet. I trudge back to my bedroom to see Peeta sleeping soundly. I smile but it quickly fades when I realize the day…

Reaping day.

I walk over to Peeta and gently place a kiss on his lips. He slowly opens his eyes, when he sees me a smile appears on lips. I can't help but think how mad he will be when Haymitch goes into the games and not him. I shake the thought out of my head.

Peeta kisses me again them speaks up, "Hmm, let me guess, cheese buns?" I smile and nod. He groans then gets up, and walks to the kitchen. I look at the clock and see its 12 o'clock, 2 hours till the reaping.

Once I get down stairs I find cheese buns waiting for me. I smile and grab one from the table. I sit beside Peeta and take a huge bite. I sigh, "Only an hour and thirty minutes." Peeta glances at me then tells me to go get ready. I agree and head back upstairs.

I head to the shower first, I take my time making sure I look my best, I mean after all I am going to the capital. I'm humming the valley song when I step out. I look over and see I took a 30 minute shower. Shit, I need to hurry.

I finish up in 30 minutes, I see Peeta is already dressed and ready. I give myself a once over in the mirror. I'm wearing a white dress that comes just above my knees. It has a black belt just below my bust; under the belt has lacy white fabric that looks great for the capital, only not for me.

After I see that I am presentable enough to go to the capital I take Peeta's hand and we make our way to the reaping. We get there just before its going to start. We make our way to the section marked for victors.

We take our seats and I look out at the sea of faces. But instead of seeing scared faces, I see faces filled with compassion and sadness. I feel my mood change, I become sad; fast. I feel a tear leak out of my eye, I wipe it quickly to show no weakness.

That's when Effie comes out. She's wearing some ridiculous outfit, lots of crazy orange all over her body. I cant help it, in the middle of her speech I start to giggle, attention comes to me. But im still staring at Effie, soon my giggle transforms into a hard laugh.

"Sweet heart you're laughing like you are drunk, and they call me the old drunk." Haymitch yells over my laughs. Everyone tries their hardest not to laugh, but I don't think its funny. My mood goes sour.

I quickly snap my head to face the old drunk. I slowly raised my middle finger to give him the one finger salute. "Screw you." I state then turning forward to face the crowd. I see them all laughing to themselves.

"Well, I guess we shall continue." Effie says in her awful voice. Everyone seems to get their composure back, and listens to Effie's speech.

After the speech is over, Effie walks over to the ladies bowl with only my name in it. She drawls one out "Katniss Everdeen!" She squeals with a sad face. I walk over and stand beside her, She gives me a sad nod then goes to the boys bowl. All I can think is please let it be Peeta, so Haymitch can volunteer.

"Haymitch Abernathy!" Oh shit.

Of course Peeta would volunteer. I look over at Haymitch who looks generally sorry. At that moment I decided to forgive him for drinking my hot chocolate. I smile at him and he smiles back.

Peeta and I are taken back to the train without saying good bye. Apparently it's a new policy.

On the train everyone congradulates me, telling me its an honor.

But all I can think is that this is absolute hell.

Ill see you soon my lovebugs. Please dont hate me... :{D - mustache man!
