Who gets to see The Hunger Games tonight? I wish!
My grandma is watching Jeopardy and guess what? One of the categories the Hunger Games! I got so excited, until I realized they were talking about like cooking reality T.V shows like Hell's Kitchen…
Anastasia Mellark.
My parents forbid let me or Nick go into the storage room in the bakery, everybody's (who was in the games) tape is in there. The reapings, interviews and even the games themselves are all there, my parents actually never let me see the tapes. Besides at school, and I only even saw their tape. Haymitch never let me see his either. We would have to do some distraction and lying, but it was worth it.
"Are you serious?" Daniel asked after I explained to him about the tapes.
I nodded "Yea, I'll get them tomorrow. But I'll need your help." I quietly asked "How long are you staying?"
He sucked in a large breath "For a week, that's how long the celebration lasts right?"
I nodded and didn't say anything.
"It would be nice to stay longer…" Daniel whispered.
Nick Mellark
I shot the arrow it landed on the tree and dug itself in.
Sonya gasped and I smirked.
She must have realized I heard her and her hand covered her mouth. I waved the bow in her face "Here you try."
She shook her head and gripped the axe then threw it, it sailed end over end until it landed besides my arrow. I raised my eyebrow. "Good job."
Sonya stared at the bow admiring it. "You sure you don't want try?" I asked.
She laughed "Don't tell anyone, but I kinda suck at archery."
I gasped dramatically "Sonya? Bad at something? Impossible!"
She rolled her grey eyes, and I whispered quietly "Well… I kinda suck at using an axe."
Sonya walked over to the tree and pulled the axe out of the tree. "Well, I'll help you learn." She leaned in close, so close that I could see all her freckles, I looked into her eyes, and the color reminded me of the storm clouds we get here. "As long as you teach me a little bit of archery."
"Deal."

"First rule of using an axe, you got to know your axe. Feel the weight of it and how it feels in your hands." I did was Sonya told me. Then she gestured to a smaller tree, "Chop away!"
I tried to teach Sonya some tricks to do with archery, she actually had great aim, but she didn't have any patience. So we switched to me.
I swung hard, the tree shook on the impact and some small leaves fell off landing into my hair. I looked over at Sonya and gave her is-this-really-necessary look.
"I have to see if you're strong… or if you have noodles for arms." She explained.
I dropped the axe and flexed and said in a really deep voice "Me manly man."
She stepped closer to me "I'm sure you are."
Daniel Odair
"You'll have to distract my dad." Anastasia said.
I smirked "Distraction is my middle name, but my other middle is sexy."
