Okay, this is going to begin the day before, and It will be Victoria's POV. Okay? I have something I want to experiment on. :) Oh, and Scarlet and Paisley, if you are wondering, are both types of fabric, since that is where they make clothes. :)

*District 9, Day before Reaping*

*At the School*

*14 year old Victoria Williamson*

I laugh at his witty jokes. I wonder if he knows how I feel. I doubt it though.

"But seriously! He was trying to weave the fabric piece, and he somehow got it wrapped around him! Then he started walking around, begging for help, but everyone thought he was a monster or Mummy or something and ran away! The Peacekeepers actually had to do the work! It was so funny!" He says.

"Zach, how did you find this out?" I ask.

"Well, I watched."

"And you didn't help. Hmm… Awesome." Bella says sarcastically.

"What was I going to do?" He questions.

"Help?"

"Guys! Would you quit fighting?" I scold. But it's kind of hard to take me seriously, because I'm laughing too.

"Sorry," They both say, still giggling. I roll my eyes, and we finish our sandwiches.

After a boring day about how the Games came to be, a reading of the rules, and a good luck, we are all sent home. I walk home with Bella and Zach, as I always do, and we chat about tomorrow.

"What do you think will happen?" I ask.

"Probably some creepy Capitol person comes, picks a boy and a girl, we say bye to are families, and are shipped off to the Capitol, train and get interviewed, and then fight to the death." Zach says.

"Thank you Caption Obvious." I mock, since that is exactly what we learned today about the Games.

"Well, I better go. I need to get my homework done and get to work on that new fabric." Bella says. We nod and hug her goodbye, and she walks to her house.

"Well, looks like it's just you and me." I smile. He nods.

"Want to go to the meadow? It's supposed to be really warm later, and the meadow is in direct sunlight."

"Sure," I smile. "But I need to babysit Scarlet. Could she come?"

"Course. I'll bring Paisley." Zach says. Scarlet is my baby sister, and Paisley is Zach's baby brother. They are both only four, so they love the meadow.

"Alright well I'll see you in a couple minutes." I smile.

"Alright." He smiles. I walk to my house, and get Scarlet, some snacks for all four of us, and a nice blanket, and walk to the Meadow. Scarlet's eyes light up, and she runs in, picking a few flowers and dancing on the meadow. I laugh, and walk over to Zach who is already there. Paisley gets up when he sees Scarlet and runs over. I sit next to Zach.

"They seem happy." I smile. He nods.

"Um, Zach? I know this may sound crazy… but I-" I don't know what happened, but I feel his lips on mine. I smile and place my hand on his neck as his hands intertwine with my hair. He pulls away and looks at me.

"I had to do that. At least once." He says. I smile and lock my fingers with his, and lay my head on his chest. It's funny. Scarlet and Paisley look just like Zach and I looked when we were there age. And now here we are. And at this time, I wish this moment could last forever.

*14 year old Zach Cameron*

"This is not happening." I say. What just happened moments ago still rings in my head.\

"Victoria Williamson!" The fat escort said. She walked onto the stage, clearly shaking, and I could see Bella crying. The Escort walked to the Boy's Reaping Ball, and look at us.

"Zachary Cameron!" I see Tori break down right there, and I walk onto the stage, completely shocked. I walked up to Tori and tried to calm her down, but she just started to cry into my shirt. I rubbed her back, and the audience is shocked. They all knew we are friends. Close friends. And now one, or both, of us will be dead in two weeks.

"Well, it is. And I know you love Tori, but please don't risk your life for her Zachary." My mother says. I nod, even though I'm lying. My father tells me to form an alliance with Tori to stay alive longer, since I know she won't hurt me, and I could use someone watching my back. They leave, and Bella runs in, hugging me.

"IjustsawToriandsheissoupset!Shedoesn'twanttoloseyouZach,sodon'tdoanythingstupid!" Bella says.

"Okay, Bell, slower."

"Sorry. I said I just say Tori and she is so upset! She doesn't want to lose you Zach, so don't do anything stupid!" She repeats.

"Why would I do that? I already planned on teaming up with her." I say.

"Well, please don't hurt her." I nod.

"I would never. And keep my family safe, could you?" I ask.

"Yeah. Yours and Tori's." She says.

"Thanks." I smile.

"Don't mention it Zach-attack." I laugh, and she kisses my cheek before leaving. I wait, but nobody comes. I don't really care though. The Peacekeepers come and take me to the car where Tori is, and I see her, eyes puffy from crying. I take her hand, and she turns.

"It's gonna be alright." I tell her, wiping a tear from her eye. She nods. I know it may not be, but I don't really want to get into that. Who knows? This may be a Hunger Games nobody forgets.

Okay, I thought that a tragic love story thing would be good for this. What do you guys think of the way it was written? I thought it was kinda cool :D And Zach is actually based of a kid in my grade who I'm friends with named Zach (Well, he is called something else, but telling you would reveal his last name so yeah), who is a nutcase, so the character is kinda in the beginning based off of him :D

Question:

1: Who's pictures where in the locket that Peeta gave Katniss in the Quarter Quell? (Pretty easy)

Bonus: How many times had Gale been whipped before Katniss intervened? (Really hard!)

Alright, you have learned about Districts 1-8, now get ready to learn about Coral and Josh! The Tributes of District 9! :D
