Katniss POV

"Katniss you need to do something other than train! I mean it's your 16th birthday!" Marvel yelled over the sound of me punching the punching bag

"Why? I'm volunteering for the games this year" I tell my training partner as I continue to hit the punching bag. He grabs my hands and pulls me away from the training center.

"Katniss! you need to take a break...i'm taking you to see Gloss" He says dragging me to the victors village.

Marvel knocked on the door and Glossed opened the door and when he saw me he looked surprised. I stopped visiting last year "Katniss? Marvel? What are you two doing here?" he asked

"I decided Katniss needed a break from training before district 2 is here tomorrow" Marvel said

"Ah" Gloss said as he lets us in "Oh and Happy Birthday Kat"

"Thanks" I mumble glaring at marvel

"Well...you two can stay if you like because I have to go to the Capital early to meet sponsors for this year" Gloss said

"OK Gloss" I say and hug him. He hugs me back and leaves

Me and Marvel sit in silence until Marvel takes a deep breath "Katniss..." He says and looks at me and I freeze seeing the look I have only seen a handful of times in my life. With my aunt and uncle when they look at me, the way Glimmer looks at her little brother, and the way Luke once looked at me. It was Love.

"Marvel..." I whisper before his lips where on mine. His lips where soft agents mine and he smelled like peppermint and chocolate. He runs his tongue across my lip asking for premeshon witch I give him gladly, his tongue explores my mouth and mine his. After several minutes we pull apart for air and he rest his forehead agenst mine. "Wow..." I whisper.

He chuckles "Happy birthday" He whispers back, lightly pecking me on the lips. "Now come on Kat i'm sure Glimmer will want to see you"

As we walk threw the town full of shining buildings and district one people and people of the capital I say "So what does this make us now?" I ask quietly

"Well...I was hoping you'd be my girlfriend" He says to with his big goofy grin causing me to giggle. "I have had a crush on you the first day you came to the academy and I was super jealous when you and Luke where together."

I smile and stand on my toes but I only reached his chin on my toes but he dipped his head down and pressed his lips to mine. We heard squealing from behind us and we turn to see Glimmer. "I knew you two would eventually be together!" she squeals and I laugh.

"We should get back it's almost 8:00" Marvel says and he has an arm over my shoulder as we walk back to the academy.

"So tell me everything!" Glimmer squeals as she jumps on her bed

"Well there's not really much to tell" I say "Marvel kissed me then I asked where we stand now and he said h wanted me to be his girlfriend and I agreed"

She giggled again and the next hour we talked about nothing and everything until it was time for lights out.

Next day

"Listen everyone, district 2 will be here any minute and when they are here do NOT hold back in training especially you two Katniss and Marvel because you two are going into the arena in two months." Mark says

"Yes sir" We all say

"So what to do first?" Marvel asked

"Hand-to-hand combat?" I ask

I go first and within minutes has our trainer slammed to the ground straddling his waist with his arms under my knees and a knife to his neck "Not bad Everdeen" I hear a deep voice say and I turn to see non other than Cato standing next to Marvel with Clove by his side.

I scoff at him and go with Marvel to the spears. You see me and Cato no longer get along because we stopped being...friends with benefits last year. I know it was terrible of me to cheat on Luke like that but I stopped seeing Cato after his death and that only made Cato mad at me. "You want to try?" Marvel asked giving me a light weight spear

"No, spears are your thing" I tell him smiling.

He just shrugs and continued to throw spears and I watch the way his muscles tense in his arms and back before he releases the spear. "See something you like?" He asked his signature cocky smirk on his face

"Maybe" I say smirking back.

"Come on lets go to bow and arrows" He says leading me there

I hit every target dead center and after that I target other places where it would take at least 2-4 minutes to die. "How are you so good at that Kat?" Glimmer asked as she fiddles with her bow

"Talent baby" I tell her giving her a smirk.

Reaping day

"Good luck Kat" Glimmer tells me before she goes to stand with the 17 year old's

"Thanks" I call after her. Today Cashmere insisted I dress up so I am in a Dark red dress that ends above my knees and hangs off my shoulders but the top hugs my waist and then flows out and I am wearing gold heels

"Welcome, Welcome" Our district escort Tulliena said her short red hair in tight curls around her pail face and Dress poofs out everywhere. "Time to pick one man and women to bring honor to District 1!" she smiles as everyone burst into cheers. "Lady's first!" she digs into the Chrystal bowl full of our names and pulls one out "Katniss Everdeen!" she says loudly. I walk up to the stage, Pride and confidence rolling off me in waves "Now for the boys!" she walks to the other bowl in her sparkling purple heels and takes a slip "Noah Willson!"

Just as the 15 year old boy starts to walk to the stage Marvels voice range threw the crowd "I volunteer!" He walks to the stage with that cocky smirk in place.

"What's your name dear?" Tulliena asked him

"Marvel" He says winking at her and a blush spread over her cheeks.

"Uh...well you two shake hands" She says and we do. We don't bother going to the Justice building because my family is one the train and Marvel's couldn't care less about him.

"Well you two can go change and meet us back here for dinner at 6:00 sharp" Cashmere says and both me and Marvel nod.

This is really happening I think as I walk into my room. I wont let anyone get in my way of winning, I will kill anyone who does. Let the Games begin.

Marvel POV

What am I supposed to do? I love Katniss but we are both trained to be a victor. Only one can come out. I guess we just have to see who it is but i'm positive I wont go down without a fight.
