DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Hunger Games. But I do own the whole set of the trilogy, neatly polished and displayed in my bedroom and my ticket of the Hunger Games movie!

3-22-12: Yes! Today's the premiere of the Hunger Games movie in the Philippines! I'm so excited to watch! Team Peeta! –I.M. Collins

After school, I told my friends about how the principal is my godmother. We all laughed out loud that people were starting to stare at us. "Guys, I gotta head for the bakery. 'Cause you know, I gotta help Dad. Okay." I said after laughing. We said our goodbyes and separated. "See you later!" I called back. I ran to Dad's bakery and entered through the backdoor.

I opened my school bag where I've put my casual clothes. I grabbed them and ran to the washroom to change. When I got out, I found Caleb snooping through my bag. "Hey!" I exclaimed and snatched my bag from him.

"Caleb!" I heard a familiar voice shout from the kitchen, it was Dad, "Is Ginna there?" In a moment, Dad was behind Caleb. My brother and I were just glaring at each other. "What's going on here?" he asked in an amazing tone of voice that made Caleb confess.

"I-I searched Ginna's back for money." Caleb said and his tears filled his gray eyes, "I'm sorry!" My face softened and I hugged him. "It's okay." I whispered, "Just, just don't do that again." He nodded between my arms. I secretly reached for my pocket and slipped Caleb a small amount of money that I have. He let go and ran to the kitchen.

Dad just grinned and hugged me in a tight embrace. He seems so positive even with what happened before. My amazing father, Peeta Mellark, with his same ashy blond hair and bright blue eyes. I can say that I'm a daddy's girl.

He let go of me, "Your mother asked me to tell you to receive today's mail. Katniss is busy at the office." I nodded. For the past two years, Mom's work has been Mayor of Seam. She was elected and she gladly accepted when I was 14.

"So, what do I need to get?" I asked, as Dad led me to the kitchen where Caleb is frosting/munching the cookies. Dad grabbed the rolling pin and started to roll the dough. "Your Mom said that one is from your grandmother, and the other is from your Aunt Johanna." He replied. I nodded.

I kissed Dad's cheek, patted Caleb's hair, grabbed my bag, and ran outside. It's mid afternoon already and the sun is shining high. I tied my hair in a high ponytail then braided it. I ran and finally reached the train station where the Train Mail arrives every other day.

The Train Mail is the train that delivers our mails from other districts and sometimes from the Capitol. People line up to receive their mail. If no one is there to receive a certain mail, it will be send to Mom, the mayor, and it will be her responsibility to send it to the recipient. Nobody here in the Seam wants to stress the Mayor so they patiently line up and get their mail.

The Train Mail has arrived and there's a long line of citizens. On the end, I found the Hawthorne twins and Fin. "Guys!" I said, running towards them. They waved at me and I reached them, panting. "Getting mail too?" I asked.

"Yup." Fin replied, "I'm going to receive my new trident from Beetee." I looked up at him, finished from panting, and nodded slowly. Like his father, Fin loves using tridents and anything connected to water.

"Well," Madie said, twisting her pigtails, "Dad said that Uncle Rory has a letter for him." Rory Hawthorne is Gale's younger brother, who is likely the same age as Aunt Prim.

"How 'bout you?" Deeno asked, stepping forward because the line started to move. I looked behind me. I guess I'm the last. I took a step forward, "From Grandma and from Aunt Johanna."

"I like her." Fin confirmed.

"Who?" Madie asked, "Johanna Mason?"

Fin nodded, "They kind-of close with Dad. Especially on the Quarter Quell."

We stepped forward. "Your dad and Johanna were in the Quarter Quell?" I asked, confused.

"Yah. They are." Deeno replied, answering for Fin, "Your parents too, you know."

What? "My parents were in the Quarter Quell?" I exclaimed. I guess this is the part Mom hasn't told me about. The Quarter Quell. We remained silent after that. A few minutes after and Deeno and Madie are in the front. "Names?" the courier asked.

"Deeno and Madie Hawthorne." Madie replied. The courier searched his files. "Senders?" he asked.

"Rory Hawthorne from District 13." Deeno replied. The courier nodded and went inside the train. He came out with a thin piece of envelope in his hand. He gave it to the Hawthorne twins. Fin was next but he let me go first.

The courier looked at me. I didn't have to say a single word. He knows who I came from. The courier returned to the train and brought out a bunch of letters united by rubber. I opened my mouth to ask why so many. "Fan mail." He replied. I haven't even said anything. I walked out of the line and stood beside Madie who is reading their Uncle's letter.

A few minutes later, Fin came to us with a pout on his face. Madie was done reading and so was Deeno. "What's with the face, Ordair?" I asked. I noticed that there is no package in his hands. "Why?" Deeno asked. Fin just shrugged. It looked like he wants to cry like a cry baby. I just can't afford to look at him like that. So I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the entrance of the station. "What are you doing?" he whispered. I looked behind me and the Hawthorne twins followed too. I looked at the Train Mail. Its door is still wide open and I can see the bunches of packages and letters inside. I noticed that there is a guard guarding the door. How can I get rid of him?

I opened my bag and revealed a sling shot I always carry daily. I picked up a small sharp stone and shoot it directly at the other side of the door. It made a loud clink sound and it left a scratch. Deeno grabbed my arm, "Are you trying to get caught?" he asked, firmly. I just removed his hand and looked at the train again.

The guard has transferred to the other side, inspecting the scratch and stone. "Meddling kids!" he exclaimed in his Capitol accent. "Bark!" he called.

"What is it?" another Capitol accent replied.

"There's a scratch on the train!" the guard yelled, "Meddling kids again! We'll be dead if the new president sees this." New president?, I told myself.

"Come here and explain every detail!" Bark replied, "I'm eating, you see!" The guard rolled his eyes and headed to where the sound came from. "Let's go!" I yelled/whispered to my friends. I pulled Fin to the train, still gripping his hand and Deeno and Madie followed. We slowly and quietly entered the train with Fin trying to remove his hand from my grasp. I heard footsteps all of a sudden and I practically threw Fin to the pile of mail. I pushed the Hawthorne twins to the other piles. I guess I inherited my Dad's strength.

When the footsteps were gone, I came out of my hiding place which is on another pile. "We only have a few minutes until Bark finishes his meal. So, search for Fin's package!" I commanded and the Hawthornes got out of their piles and dug and searched for Fin's mail. Fin remain in the pile, half buried. I stretched my hand out, he accepted it, and I pulled him up. "Why are you doing this?" he asked, solemn. I tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Because we're the closest of friends." I whispered. Well, he is the first ever friend I met.
