Hey, sorry for late update. School...homework... But I am watching The Hunger Games this very moment! MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME MIXED WITH MY FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME! WHOOP WHOOP!

Let's get to the story now.

Maya sat silently on the train. She drifted off to sleep.

But she woke up five minutes later, realising her head was on Cam's shoulder.

"This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard our future." Ran through Maya's brain.

She even forgot when everyone in the crowd pressed their three middle fingers to their lips and held it up, after she was reaped.

Everything rang in her head now. She even remembered seeing Cam a few times at school.

"You drool, you know?" Cam says to her.

Maya nodded slowly.

Haymitch came back in, tottering on his feet, drunkily.

Maya didn't feel up to eating anything, but sat next to Cam.

He was cute to her, but Maya didn't have time to fall in love with a boy that was going to kill her.

Or that she was going to kill.

Maya found herself being hosed down. It was uncomfortable. Maya hadn't taken a shower since she was seven. After her father died, a Capitol leader, her, Katie, and Farrah had been thrown in the woods.

By the time she was ten, her mother and Katie had finished building a so-called "house".

The first time were name was in the drawing, they called her.

But an 18 year old girl volunteered. After two weeks, her head was chopped off and a district two kid was crowned victor. Maya had barely spoken to Cinna, just nodding and saying stuff softly.

When she thought she was going to be on fire, a smirk went across her face.

Hoping if she died, she wouldn't have to go to the arena.

Everyone was amazed at the synthetic fire.

Training was Maya's favorite part.

After the lady finally finished talking ofcourse.

Cam had a good shot. Maya wasn't intimidated.

Maya always could throw knives. But Tori, from District Six, not a very rich district, shot knives and never missed. She gave Maya a few pointers.

"Can we be allies?" Maya whispers.

"Totally. We won't kill each other and if were the final two, we still don't." Tori agrees in a whisper.

After days of training, Tori and Maya got a little closer. But Maya was beware that Tori could turn the tables and send an arrow through her in three seconds.

The real stuff came. Showing the Capitol her skills.

Maya hadn't eaten that day and planned to get the apple in the pigs mouth in her hands, somehow.

Apples were her all time favorite food. In her district, finding the right one, was lucky, her mother had always said.

Maya was always agile, swift, and flexible. She shot a few knives.

So, Maya did a few flips and hung on the the bars. Her hands almost slipped but she flipped over and ran to the apple. With it in her hands, she bit into it and chewed.

Effie went off when she found out, but Maya said a real full sentence.

"I just wanted to. The apple was delicious." Maya says.

Haymitch laughs.

"Let it be that way. I've tried those apples and they are good." He said.

"The one's back home weren't." Maya says.

"They were okay." Cam says.

"Okay. But just okay." Maya says.

"Ssh. It's back on." Effie says.

"Campbell Saunders, District Twelve...with a score of 11." the TV said. Hoots and hollers came out.

"Maya Matlin, District Twelve, with a score of 12." it said afterwards.

Louder hoots and hollers.

Maya couldn't help but smile. Confidence had pretty much came when it was time for her to be interviewed.

Eyes were on her as she nervously sat next to Caeser Flickerman.

"Hello, Maya. How are you today?" Caeser asks.

Maya clears her throat.

"Marvelous." Maya says.

"Oh, marvelous? Marvelous Maya, eh?" Caeser says.

"I guess." Maya says, but stops her smile.

"You look eritable. How'd you feel when you were reaped?" Caeser says.

"To be honest...I wanted to go. To win. No one believed I could." Maya began. Caeser nodded.

"I've been poor all my life. This...sucks. My friends...even my own sister didn't think I could win. But I know I can." Maya says.

"So, you have lots of people to prove wrong, am I right?" Caeser asks.

"Yeah. I just want to win and go home...and hug my mom and kiss Ca..." Maya starts, but stops, not realising waht she just brought on.

"Who? Is there a special boy out there for you?" Caeser asks.

Maya laughs shyly.

"He's watching, believe me. If he found out, I'd die." Maya says, making sure she has a small smile.

"If he finds out in the arena, you jist might." Caeser says and gives a loud laugh. Maya fake laughs with the crowd. It dies down.

"So, Maya. This boy has to love your look. Let me tell you this gossip. The Capitol didn't think you were very precious. But, Maya, you're glamourous!" Caeser says. Maya smiles, real this time.

"Thank you. This boy...is..." Maya had almost begun to say the boy's name.

Cam watched from backstage.

He thought Maya was pretty as she was at first and that she was amazing, scoring a 12!

A crush was overrated for him, though.

If it was him, normally, he'd say yes to go out with her.

However, they go into the arena in three days, bound to either kill each other or have one end up dead.

Cam wasn't sure he could fit a "Would you like to go out with me?" in in there.

"He has a brother named Justin and hits rocks with a stick against the tree, sometimes. He has brown hair, it's so sexy when he flips it. His eyes are brown, they'll haunt you day and night. Just the way they sparkle." Maya thought...out loud.

Cam and Haymitch look up at the TV, shocked.

"Well, whoever this boy is, though we already know, good luck." Caeser says. Maya smiles and remembers waht Effie had said.

Wave, look happy, smile, and rock your look. Or did Tori say that?

Maya began to walk forward only to fall into the crowd.

And for everyone to burst into laughter.

Good or bad? Long or short? Please review and tell me what ya think.
