Hello, I know I wasn't posting in ages but I'm trying to do it more regularly now, really hope you enjoying it, and happy new year.

rye PoV

well that was very close almost got caught

im sitting in the living room watching the screen intensely

i wonder if she is friends with Mahic, who knows

who ever he is he shouldn't be in the careers he seems too nice

"right rye come on or you will be late for school" my mum says from across

"mum, you serious, you are making me go to school"

"yes I am"

"mum, willow could die and I won't see it and I want to"

"do not speak like that and fine you can stay off school but I'm calling in to find work for you to do here"

"fine as long as I can still watch it"

I hate it how they made them just go in with no warning what so ever and just put them in

all of a sudden I realise it's lunch

I go to the kitchen and there is nothing there

for fuck sake mum

I get my shoes on and head to dads bakery

I walk into dads bakery and there is loads of people gathered at tables watching the games in a screen in the corner

"Hello there rye, what you doing here" dad says cheery

"uh house is empty" I say and hand him money

in return he gives me a bag of cinnamon rolls, a loaf of 12 bread, loaf of ordinary bread and a pint of milk

"Bye dad" I say as I walk out the bakery

next I head to the towns market

"hiya Julia how is you today" I say smiling

I love Julia, I see her everyday and I have known her my whole life

"I'm good my dear, what would you like today rye?" She says standing from her stool

"could I please have a block of cheese and a stick of butter"

"of course rye" Julia says putting the item in a bag "willow is doing really well with Noah, the're a good team"

"yeah they are, hopefully they will find more ally's"

"I'm sure they will, they are very likeable"

"yes i know Julia" I say laughing "well I better head back, but you have a good day and don't get into too much trouble" taking the back of supply's

"yes same goes to you young rye"

i start walking home and just as I am about to step into the victors village I see Gabi leaving through the 'electrical' fence

I run and try and catch up with her

"hey Gabi!" I shout now that I'm closer to her

"rye please just leave me alone" she says sniffling

"Gabi you okay?"

We are still running at this point

" no" she screams and falls to the grass

Gabi starts crying

"Gabi what's up you okay?" I say crouching down to her level and trying to comfort her

" did you not see?!"

"See what" I say starting to panic

"in the games"

"what no?! What happened is everyone okay!?" As soon as I said that she burst out crying even more

this makes me terrified

"Gabi please tell me"

"he's dead" she says trying to calm down but it's not working

"Gabi who's dead?" I say very very worried at this point

she stops crying and looks up at me

"Robbie"
