River: District Four

Everybody hates me.

I realized this as soon as I got back to District Four, the only interactions I have are with people giving their mandatory congratulations. Nothing more. I receive no visitors, no one asks of me at the market, when I travel I get nothing but respectful nods.

It's because of my district partner, he and I knew each other before the Games, you could even say we had been friends. I came back without him, or rather I came back instead of him. Everyone wanted him to win.

What made it worse was that I had killed him, on our walk to where the finale would play out I embedded my spear in his skull. He never even knew what happened, dead before he hit the forest ground.

Everybody hates me, but I would rather be hated than dead.
