Gret Marcus POV~-~beh0106
"Ow! What the heck was that," my mom kicks me to wake me up. I'm lying outside our house against the door. Why? Oh yeah, my mom was drinking again. Typical. Ussually I help her out, calm her down, but I was to depressed with the reapings to deal with her. So I went outside to wait for her to pass out but I guess I fell asleep first I guess.
"Get up! You're gonna be late and the peacekeepers are going to find you and—"
I am already walking away halfway through her rant. I think about asking our neighbors to keep an eye on her like I do sometimes but whatever. She'll figure it out eventually, plus it's a long walk to town. When I get there there's a large group of guys, some of which I really know, that I join. No one seems to care that I don't go to school with them or hang with them in town in and out of shops. They appear to like having me around, and I like having good company to escape to.

"Hun, what are you doing," my mom peers in.
"Nothing, just getting ready." At least I was, till I started to put up my hair to hide the knots, then I quickly let it back down. I was born with ears that are pointed on the tips. I get mocked often, called elf by just about everyone. Sometimes I tell myself if it was me I'd do the same thing, that it's because of circumstances that everyone's so cruel. Then I give in and let the anger I feel because of them fuel my hatred for the Capitol. Fuel my dedication to our plan. The plan my parents and I have to overthrow the Capitol.
"It will work!"
"Yeah, why don't you just come on," my mom was still standing there? Oops.

"Hertz Cannon! Whoo-hoo why don't you come on down sweetie?"
Really? What the heck! ME? I swear if the Capitol has been spying on me and rigged it so I couldn't pull of a rebellion, I'll kill every last one of them! Well, maybe not, I could really leave that up to the fighters we're going to recruit. I'm thinking of a way to keep the rebellion going while the escort calls Gret Marcus' name. After he walks up he just stands there watching this spider like it's about to eat him. Wimp, I think. Well, who knows, maybe this will provide an awesome opportunity to get at the Capitol.
