Katniss' P.O.V
I wake up from a nightmare about the reaping and put on my hunting gear to go hunting. As it's tradition to go with Gale and Peeta to the woods to go hunting before the reaping for good luck. I go into Prim's room kiss her on the forehead and tell her
I'll be back later. And of course she always questions it. But I have to keep her safe. So I can't tell her. At least not yet. I make sure no one is looking and I head to the woods. I check to hear the hum of the gate but hear no sound. So I climb
under the big opening in the fence and go to get my bow and arrows. Then I go to our "spot" where we always meet up. Once I get to the rock, Gale says "Hey Katnip." While Peeta picks me up and hugs me with all of his might and kisses me like there's
no tomorrow. "How are you?" he asks lovingly. "I'm quite nervous. I had another nightmare. What about you Peety?" I ask him affectionately. "Same." He replies. "What about you Gale?" I ask trying to include him into our conversation. "I didn't get
picked last year, or the year before that. So I'm hoping for the same results again." He say kind of relaxed. But I think I heard a bit of nervousness in his voice. "Guys we should make a pact." Peeta says. "What type of pact?" I ask curiously. "A
Hunger Games Pact." He replies. "Oh I got it!" I say excitedly. Peeta just chuckles and Gale just smiles at me to go on. "If anyone of us is chosen to go into the games, we have to take care of each other's families. And if the both of us get chosen,
we do not under any circumstances betray each other. We should tell each other our plans and be a united team. From beginning to end. No questions asked. Understood?" I say seriously so they know I mean business. They both say "Understood."
Peeta's P.O.V
Katniss is so cute when she's serious. It made me almost forget about the reaping. Almost. I'm really scared about the games this year. This is Katniss and I first year. I just hope none of us gets picked. But I'm more worried about Katniss than myself.
She took extras when I told her I had her covered. She's just so stubborn. But I have s bad feeling about this years hunger games. Really bad.

Katniss' P.O.V
When I get home from talking and hunting with the boys I walk in to see Prim in a pretty skirt and shirt. But I see a piece of her shirt sticking out like a duck tail. So I tell her "You look pretty little duck." She giggles and says "Thank you." I go
over to her and fix her shirt. Then squeeze her nose while saying quack. Which makes het laugh. Then my mom comes up and tells me I should get ready too. So I go up to my room and I see that she has made a bath for me. So I get cleaned up and dry
off and put on my lotion. Then I see this beautiful dress that my mom wore on her first reaping day with some black flats. I put it on then I put brush my hair and put it in my signature braid. Once I'm ready to go I head downstairs to the living
room. "You look beautiful Katniss." My mom's been trying to make an effort but it's still hard though. "You look so pretty Katniss." Prim says in admiration. "Thank you." I say to the both of them." We walk out towards the towns spare for the reaping.
Once we get there mom and Prim goes with the other families and I go with the line of 12 year old girls. Once it's my turn they prick my finger or something to put my fingerprint down and it kind of stings. But the pain goes away immediately. Then
I go into the crowd of 12 year olds. Then suddenly Peeta comes besides me and takes my hand. We both give each others hands a comforting squeeze. Then our escort Effie Trinket comes onstage with a green wig and green clothes. At least she's wearing
my favorite color. She says the same thing as every year and shows the same boring clip so I zone out and put my head on Peeta's shoulder. Then the video stops and Effie says "ladies first" in that annoying high pitch capitol accent. She swishes her
hand around the bowl and pulls the slip out. She looks at the paper for a second then reads out the name... "Katniss Everdeen." My world just stops. I suddenly can't breathe and my feet is stuck to the floor. Prim starts screaming while Peeta starts
shaking and crying. But then realization hits me and I start to move my feet. When I started to move it seemed like that's when Peeta came back to life. Then he ran out the crowd screaming "KATNISS NO!" He ran to me as fast as he could picked me
up and held me with all his might. Then he kissed me so passionately. We've never kissed like this before. It was wow. It was like time stopped, a powerful wind blew, and there was just fireworks everywhere. It felt like we we're the only two people
there. The peacekeepers decided to let us have our moment. "Katniss, I love you." "I love you too." I say breathless. "No. I'm in love with you." "I'm in love with you too." "Forever and always." we say together. Then he slowly lets me go. I walk
up to the stage with the peacekeepers. I walk up the steps and stand next to Effie. "Was that your boyfriend Katniss?" Effie asks. "Yes." I reply trying not to cry and trying to sound strong. I will not give them that satisfaction. Then she says "now
for the boys." She does the same thing that she did before she read my name. She calls out "Samuel Evanston." He's 16 and from the merchant side of town. He's on the wrestling team with Peeta and his brothers. He looks around then slowly comes forth
and walks up the steps and stands next to Effie. "Here are your district 12 tributes for the 70th hunger games." Then she starts to clap. But no one claps. Everyone just looks mad. I am pretty known around district 12. I'm known for my singing, my
dad, Prim, and just helping people out. So people are pretty upset. Especially since I'm 12 and no one and I mean no one has ever won the games at 12 years old. Finnick Odair is the youngest person (at 14 years old) to win the games. Even though I'm
terrified I plan to change that.
