Hey guys! So you all made me very happy because when woke up, I had four PMs! I was so happy! And when I got home from babysitting, I had six! Thank you so much! I'm actually worried that I will have to many! Never though that would happen! I thought I was going to be with all of the other failed SYOTs. Here is district 5!

Coy Salome POV

I'm sitting on my bed, reading Edible Plants, carefully looking at each picture. I loved reading; it takes me away from District 5 and to a place where people are sane and don't do the Hunger Games. Seriously there is a much better solution than having kids kill each other just so you can prove that you have complete power over us.

This reminds me, I have to get ready for the reaping. I reluctantly close my book and get up. I went to go take a shower

When I got out I saw that my mom had laid out my reaping clothes: a short-sleeved white dress with little red spots. I slipped into in and looked at myself. I grabbed my hairbrush and pulled my long, curly auburn hair into a bun, showing off my pale face. I put on some red shoes and looked at myself once more.

I sighed, thinking about what to do before the reaping. I got an idea. I skipped down the steps and out the door. My mom and dad weren't home, they were working. I ran through the flowers and over to Mit's house.

Mit is my best friend, and my only friend for that matter. We do everything together. Reading, experimenting, testing, we do it all. I couldn't live without him, I guess.

I open the door, knowing for a fact that his mom and dad are working. I hop up the stairs and open his door. He is taking a shower. Ok, well now what. I sit on his bed and waited for him to come out.

Mit comes out with a towel wrapped around his waist. Wait, he has a six pack? I mean it's not very big but it's still there. Since when did a 14 year old have six packs? I didn't even know he had any pack. He saw me.

"Why hello hobo that decided to come into my house." He said. My eyes darted from the six packs to his face a couple of times.

"You look nice." He complimented me.

"Since when did you have a six pack?" I asked.

"You like?" he asked. I grabbed one of his pillows and threw it at him.

"Go get dressed ya weirdo." I said. He laughed.

Mit comes out dressed. I look at him.

"How do I look?" He asked.

"You look fine." I said. He sat down on his bed next to me. We looked out his window in silence.

"Are you nervous?" He asked.

"No, my name is only in there 3 times. I calculated the chance of me being reaped and it's 0.15 percent, same as every 14 year old girl with the minimum number of slips." I said. I took notice of the book on his bed. I grabbed it with excitement.

"Dude, this is the newest copy of The String Theory! Where did you get this?" I asked. He smiled.

"We have to go to the reaping." He said, standing up. I put the book down.

"Fine, but you're letting me borrow that when we get back." I said, traveling behind him.

When we got outside he took my hand. My breath hitched; he has never done that before. I don't let go, but I'm also confused. We walked hand and hand to the town square.

Zero Degree POV

The room was all steamy, it was high. Me, Stitch, Morphine, and Link were all at Stitch's house, getting high. I don't know what I'm smoking, but it's so good.

"So whadaya wanna do now." Link slurred.

"We could go to the reapinssssss" Morphine said hazely. I nodded my head up and down. All four of us stumbled out of the smoke and to the square.

Were arrived just in time to missed that lady who looks like a second rate Lady Gaga finish her speech. She goes over to a bowl and picks up a name.

"Coy Salome." She says. A girl, with red hair comes up. Oh wait now there is four of them. Along with a big bunny. Who is humping a table. What was I smoking again?

Oh wait, Gaga called my name. I slapped Morphine's arm.

"Look, she called ma name." I slurred.

"You better go up and claimer your prize before someone else does." She said. I nodded and dragged myself up there, with the biggest smile on my face.

"May I present to you our District 5 tributes: Coy Salome and Zero Degree!"

Coy's POV

I sit in the district building, my mind running a mile a minute. My arena strategy, bloodbath strategy, angle for sponsors, how I am going to win the games. My mom and dad came in with tears in their eyes.

We talked and my mom puts her hands on my shoulders and looks into my eyes.

"Coy , your smart , think of the arena as a problem, and the other tributes variables. " My mom says. I nod, think of this new theory. My parents we escorted out.

Mit came in and instantly gave me a hug. He pulled away.

"Coy, you know this, okay you know how to get out of this. I believe in you." He says. I smiled. He looked into my eyes.

"There is something that I have wanted to tell you for 2 years." He says.

"What?" I asked. He bits his lip.

"I like you." He says.

"I like you too Mit your my best friend I know that." I say. Why is he telling me something that I already know?

No! That's not it. It…" He thought of a different way to word it when he just gave up and kissed me.

Mit was kissing me. My best friend, the last person I would ever guess liked me is kissing me, on the lips, right now. Well this was a first.

20 seconds of my life were spent kissing my best friend. The first time ever when I didn't think of anything.

He pulled away; satisfied that he got this off his chest. I just stood there, my mouth slightly open, staring at the distance behind him. The peacekeepers came in.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. Just before the doors closed I snapped back to reality.

"Thank you." I said. And I knew for a fact he could hear me.

Live without the sunlight...Love without your heartbeat...I..I can't live within you

Well there you go, district 5 everybody. My magic genie lamp predicts that the next reaping will be…district poptart! Or 8. Whatever, same diff. BTW I'm am going camping with my dad, sister, and my best friend started on Thrusday and ending on Sunday. And then I'm done with spring break. So updates will NOT be daily. This is actually kinda rare. I will try my hardest to get a reaping in before I leave, but that will be rare. Hoped you liked it and review!
