So this is the last of Chanel's group. Hope you enjoy them…

Cause I'm dreaming,

of you tonight.

Til' tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight.

And there's no place in the world I'd rather be.

Then here in my room, dreaming about you and me.

I can literally feel the spear break through my chest. It's a painful feeling, but it was for Brynlee.

Yes, I fell in love during the Hunger Games, yes I'm an idiot I know, but still. How do you control something like that? It happens. Falling in love is like a lightening strike. You never know when to expect it.

A bright light is shining in my face, and I realize that the spear that I thought I was feeling, isn't actually a spear. It's a sewing needle, and they're sewing me back up.

"Done." says the doctor. He sees that I'm awake and his eyes narrow. He clearly didn't feel like dealing with anything crazy.

"Did Brynlee win?" I ask, confused.

"She did." says the doctor.

I smile. The first Hunger Games, and the girl I loved won. I knew she would do it. I knew she had it in her. Wait though, if she won, how am I still alive?

"Did I win too?" I ask confused.

"Unfortunately not Joseph." says the doctor as he grabs my clipboard and quickly goes through my vitals. "You see, Brynlee died over 220 years ago. We are in the 301st year of this great country."

"I-I- what?" I ask completely confused.

"My boy, you have been selected from a large pool of tributes. Over 7200, if I might add, to compete in a Hunger Games unlike any other. I'm afraid you really won't remember any of this though, because you see. You will be sent back in time, in about... eh, now."

"WAIT! WHAT I-"

I'm really excited that I get to go to school today. There is this really pretty girl there, and she makes me really happy to see. She was also wearing a Powderfly shirt yesterday, and that made me really happy.

Arriving at the school was no big deal, or at least nothing out of the ordinary. Ares and Honora fought, Vera and Jinx took up for Honora, and Sashen and Orion kept to themselves. I just like to imagine things.

Like we aren't driving in a minivan to school right now, I can tell you that. More like flying on a rocket ship to the moon!

"Alright guys," mom says as she pulls into her parking space, "Load out!"

We all jump out of the minivan and are walking towards the school, when a camera crew comes running up behind us. Pictures are being taken, they're screaming questions at us, and we aren't exactly sure what's going on.

"DO NOT TOUCH ME!" screams Vera as she pushes past one of them.

Mommy turns around and stares daggers at the man who she screamed at. He has blue skin, and a bright green hair, and tattoos that cover his body entirely. He looks really weird.

"Banned." says mommy as she glances at him and continues to walk.

"But Ms. Vice-"

"Shut up!" screams Mom.

The entirety of the people taking pictures stop and stare at us. Mom is fuming, and they seem to be scared out of their minds. She ushers us in one by one, and tells us to go to Aunt Mack's class.

"Mommy," says Sashen, "what about you?"

"Mommy has some stuff to take care of." she says with a menacing glance towards the picture people.

We walk down the hallway and turn into Aunt Mack's classroom. In the room were all the other students we saw yesterday. They were seated at different tables, and a white board with everyone's names on it in the front of the room.

"Good morning!" says Aunt Mack as we enter. "As you can see, we have a seating chart for this class! Here in Social Understandings year 1, I really want to emphasize the importance of building relationships. Look around for your name, and then take a seat!" says Aunt Mack with a big smile.

I see my name on the board and walk over to the table with a boy with jet black hair, a girl with yellow hair, and another girl with black hair.

"My name is Ava." says the girl with yellow hair. She has a really nice smile that makes me want to be her friend. Her hair is really nice to. Her ribbons are the prettiest ones in the class. "What is yours?" she asked.

"My name is Joseph." I say proudly. I adjust my glasses on my face and look to my other table mates. "Who are you guys?"

"My name is Sylvia." says the girl with black hair. She flips her hair over one shoulder and gives me a scary look. She looks unsettlingly, and makes my stomach start turning. I don't know if I like her.

"My name is Amandus." says the boy quietly.

"Isn't that a girl name?" ask Sylvia with a weird look on her face.

"Daddy says don't tease. You shouldn't do that." says Ava with a scolding voice on.

"Your daddy isn't mine. I don't even have a daddy. So get out of my face, little miss perfect!"

I don't really know what to do in this situation. I'm used to Honora and Ares fighting, but these are two new people I'm supposed to be making friends with. I look around the room, and see that other people are laughing and having a blast. Aunt Mack just stands at the front of the room smiling, until she sees my face. She walks over to the table and begins to look around at us.

"What's wrong here?"

We all look around at each other. We know we don't want to tell on Sylvia, but Aunt Mack isn't going to go away without us answering. After a while, Sylvia rolls her eyes, and makes a hand gesture towards Ava to let her know what's wrong.

"Why don't you tell me, sweet heart."

Sylvia folds her hands on the table, and glances up at Aunt Mack.

"I don't like my table mates." she says. "I would like to move."

"Hey!" I say looking at her.

She glances over at me and raises her eyebrows. "What?" she asked.

"You were the one being mean! The whole point of this class is to make friends. You weren't acting like one."

"I never said I wanted to be your friend!" she says angrily in retort.

Aunt Mack is watching this as it unfolds, and she begins to take notes. She is writing very fast, and I wish I could see what it was she was writing. After a few more minutes of writing, she looks up and smiles.

"Sylvia, you will be sitting here for the duration of the time with this seating chart."

"BUT AUNT MACK!"

She holds up a hand, and Sylvia quiets down. "No buts." she says. "This is a no but zone."

Ava slides me a piece of paper. I open it up, and look down at what it said.

I really like how you stood up for Amandus.

You're cool!

I thought I was the only one who knew how to write! I look over at Ava and smiles. Maybe this whole Hungry Games thing isn't going to be so bad after all.

We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.

It's miserable and magical.

Oh yeah.

Tonight's the night where we forget about the deadlines.

This time.

Where am I?

"Great, just my luck." says an unknown man's voice as a bright light is shining down on my face. "I was still working on a speech, and you woke up."

"I'm sorry!" I say genuinely. "Do you want me to go back to sleep?..."

The bright light disappears, and I realize that there wasn't one to begin with. I'm in a pink and blue room, and in a bed. Did I survive the games?

"No. You can't just go back to sleep." he says with a sad tone in his voice. "It ruins the whole surprise of you being reawakened!" he says in a dramatic whine.

"Reawakened?" I ask, confused.

He throws his head back and lets out a mighty scream. He seems sad. I am a little creeped out, but at the same time...he wouldn't be allowed in the room with a victor if he was insane right? Surely the Capitol has some sort of protocol for security.

"Look, I've butchered this. Just know that you're going to be okay. At least for another 18 years." he says.

"Wait, why only 18?"

He clamps a watch onto my wrist and starts to push random buttons.

"Wait. Sir what's going on-"

Lunch time is weird. I have a couple of new friends, but mostly, I just want to make sure Orion is okay. I know that Ares sat at the table next to him at Aunt Mack's class, and I bet he was mean to him.

I exit the stall that I was using, and walk over to the sink and start to wash my hands. A girl with dark brown hair appears next to me, and she starts to wash her hands. She seems very confident, and she has really pointed cheeks.

"Hello. My name is Ellie." she says after standing at the mirror for awhile.

"My name is Sashen." I say.

"Oh that's different!" she says as she smiles at me. "We're going to be BEST friends. I can already tell."

She grabs me by my hand, and begins to drag me out of the bathroom. I didn't get a chance to dry my hands, and she realizes once we sit down at the table.

"That's okay! Why else were dresses made for?" she ask as she wipes her hand on her dress. I smile reluctantly as I follow suit. A couple of minutes, later a group forms around the table. A girl with dark hair, that is very long, and a boy with dreadlocks in his hair.

"My name is Katarina." she says as she sits down. She has a bright red bow in her hair. It looks really nice.

"I'm Keanu!" says the boy brightly. He consist to pour the contents of his lunch box on the table. "YES! SCORE! Mom packed mini cupcakes!"

He smiles as he instantly opens up the cupcakes and takes a bite. Katarina rolls her eyes and turns back to me.

"Excuse my brother. He has a little issue with table manners." she says smiling. "I'm sorry, I didn't ask your name?"

"Sashen."

"What kind of a name is that?" ask the boy with a teasing smile.

"The same kind of a name as Keanu." I say with a smile back.

Katarina and Ellie's eyes widen with excitement as they look back at me.

"It's decided." says Katarina. "You can be our friend."

I smile not only because of that comment, but because Orion is running towards the table. He slips into the seat next to me, and smiles.

"Hi guys."

"Hello." says Ellie brightly.

Orion sits down and begins to empty the contents of his lunch box one by one. He looks around and stops when he gets to Katarina.

"You aren't eating?" he asked noticing that her lunch kit was still full.

"What are you? The lunchbox police?" she asked in return.

"Hey. That's my friend." I say. "If you want to be nice and be friends with me, you have to be nice to Orion."

"Meh." says Katarina as she pulls out a pocket mirror with glitter in it. She starts to apply the glitter and looks to Ellie for approval, who nods.

The bell rings for lunch to end, and we start to exit the cafeteria. The next class that we have to go through is Aunt Iris. I remember Ares getting excited because he gets to punch stuff.

We enter the room, and similar to last class there is a seating chart at the top of the board. I walk into the room and look for my name on the chart and see that I'm seated at table 3. I walk over, and take a seat. Shortly after a boy with brown hair, and a mousey face sits next to me. He seems quiet, and doesn't really seem to be excited to be here.

"Hello." I say with a smile.

"Hi." he says quietly as he avoids eye contact.

I want to help him. He seems scared and I want to be able to be there for him. I just don't know how. Then I remember the rock. I found it on my way into the school and it was very pretty. It was a blue shiny thing, and in the inside of it, it had gold! I was so excited to find it. I think he would be better off with it though.

"Here. This is a happy stone. It's made me very happy, and now I want you to use it, and make you happy."

The boy gives me wide eyes as he picks up the stone and examines it. I can't believe he looks so happy! It makes me happy to see him smiling.

"My name is Sashen."

"Baptiste."

A short while later a boy with dark colored hair sits across from me. He has a cool kid look about him, and he looks ready to answer any questions.

"My name is Wyatt." he says. He doesn't bother smiling. He just keeps his face the way it is.

"Sashen, and this is Baptiste."

"I didn't ask." he says.

A very pretty girl comes and joins us sitting next to Wyatt right before class starts.

"My name is Artemis. I'm originally from District 2, but my Daddy adopted me."

"What do you mean from District 2?" I ask confused. "What's a district?"

"You don't know?" ask Wyatt. "I'm from District 1. That's why I don't talk to people who aren't from District 1, 2, or 4." he says glancing over at Artemis. "We can be friends." he says looking at her.

"Thanks." she says looking over at us.

Baptiste and I look at each other, and then back at the two sitting across from us. This is going to be a long day.

Take a look

through my eyes.

There's another place somewhere out there.

Take a look

through my eyes.

Everything changes, you'll be amazed what you'll find.

I remember dying. There's no way I won. Yet, here I am, awake.

The bright light, which I can only assume is me regaining life, has vanished, and I'm now sitting in front of a bald man with a giant smile.

"Hello, Jinx."

I hold out my hand and stare at him questioningly. "Your palm." I say.

He looks at me confused and hands me his palm. I still have the touch.

"I don't trust anyone until I read their palm." I say as I randomly trace over the lines in his hands. Now, let's examine this man. Bald, slightly overweight, a big fake smile. He is clearly unhappy with his life. Why would a man with a nice job be unhappy? I look to his left hand, and there on his wedding finger lies a ring. Bingo, it's always the wife.

"Sir," as I stand up and move behind his shoulders. "Your wife is cheating on you. Isn't she?"

I begin to massage his shoulders and he shrugs me off.

"See here, Ms. Freight. I read your file and-" I lean down and kiss him on the lips, and after a few moments of fighting me, he gives in. Then I hear a voice of a female. I look up to see a blonde lady, who can't be more than twenty-two.

"Seriously, Wilbur?" she says with a disgusted tone. "Less than 2 hours ago she was dead. I swear you'll take it from anywhere."

She walks up to me and grabs ahold of my arm, and a surprisingly firm grip at that. I try to pull away but she drags me to the bed. She sits me down, and pulls out my arm and slaps a watch on my wrist. I try to pull away as she has a hold on my arm, but she won't budge.

"Sorry, psychic bitch. Enjoy infanthood again."

"Wait. Wha-"

"You will find the love of your life in this school." I say.

The pretty girl with yellow hair, I think her name is Ava, stands before me. Her palm stretched out. She has pretty eyes, and her hair falls in light curls around her head. She has a Powderfly shirt on which I'm sure has caught the attention of all my sisters, and maybe even Joseph.

"Really?!" she asked surprisingly. "The love of my whole life?!"

I would like to take the time to acknowledge that I have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about. It's not that I'm lying to them. I just saw it on TV one night, and I thought it was cool. Honora was very interested in this "talent", but Vera and Sashen just said it was a lie. I'm not a liar.

"Yes. The love of your whole life."

"Is he handsome?" she asked excitedly. "Can you see him."

"He's blurry. I can tell you that he has a pair of eyes, and he has a nose."

"He has both of those?!" she says excitedly.

Another girl with yellow hair runs up to me and smiles. She looks really friendly, and she has her hair up in purple ribbons.

"Can you tell me mine?" she asked.

"I don't even know your name." I respond.

"She doesn't just use her talent on anyone." says Honora.

The girl frowns and sits down. She looks up at us and ushers us to come towards her. We join her on the ground, and Vera looks upset.

"I don't want to sit on the ground!" she says mad.

We all stare at her, and Ava takes off her shoes and lies them on the ground. She ushers Vera to sit down, and she smiles and complies. After we all sit in the circle I hold out my hand, and the girl looks at me confused.

"I thought I had to know you better." she says. "My name is Edith." she says.

"My name is Jinx. These are my sisters Honora and Vera." they wave and then Edith smiles.

"Well. Now I feel like we know each other." she hands her hand to me, and I begin to read the palm she has. I have no idea what she's expecting. I just know that some lines are longer than the other, and I make up stuff about what they mean.

This girl has a very genuine feel to her though. I feel weird making things up. I close my eyes, and I try really hard to hear something about what this girl has in store for her future. No matter how hard I try though, I can't hear anything. This is stupid.

I pout and look angry at everyone, and Edith's eyes get big. I forgot that I was reading her palm. She probably thinks that I was reading something bad.

"What did you see?" she asked nervous.

Well, let's think about this for a minute. The odds of this girl living after the Hungry Games is small. Even now, I can kind of tell who I need to look out for. These sweet and genuine kids that keep smiling and obeying everything aren't threats. They're dangerous for an alliance. I might as well be honest with my opinion.

"The spirits bring sad news." I say.

I have no idea who the spirits are, but that's what the lady on the Tv called them when she would read people's futures. So I figure it's the right thing to say, right?

"Why sad news?" she asked looking upset.

Ava is burying her feet in the sand, and when she hears that she frowns and puts her hand on Edith's shoulders.

"It's okay. Daddy says that you can always turn an ugly day over with a smile."

Edith smiles at her, but I can tell that it isn't a real smile. She looks back at me and encourages me to continue on.

"I would just like to say that I have no control over what the spirits say." I point out to her. "They say that you will not make it out of the Hungry Games."

Edith's eyes well up as she tries to hold a brave face. Honora bites her lip suppressing a smile, and Vera looks sympathetically towards her. Edith stands up and dust off her blue jeans and walks away.

"Can I have my shoes back?" asked Ava.

Vera hands her her shoes, and Ava runs off after Edith. They end up at the swing set and are sitting there talking. Ava is dangling her bare feet as Edith is crying at the swing. Aunt Mack makes her way over there and begins to see why Edith was upset, when she points to me.

Aunt Mack runs across the playground and stops in front of us. She is wearing a red shirt, and khaki shorts, and also has on a pair of white shoes. She motions for Honora and Vera to leave upon her arrival.

"Good luck." whispers Vera as her and Honora run off chuckling.

Aunt Mack sits across from me crisscross and stares me down. We just kind of sit there for awhile, before I finally break the weirdness that I feel in the air.

"Do you want me to read your fortune too?" I ask.

Aunt Mack frowns as she puts her head in her hands. I can tell that she's trying to think of something, but what I don't know. After a minute she sighs and then looks back at me.

"Look, Jinx," she says. "It's great that you know who you are at such a young age. I think it's honestly incredible how mature you are, but we can't say things like that to our friends." she says.

I throw my head back and sigh. "Do you honestly think someone like her has a shot?" I say. "Honora and I snuck into the living room when we got home and stole a book on the Hungry Games. We saw what we're going to have to do. I don't think she has it in her."

"How ironic." says Aunt Mack.

"What's iconic mean?" I ask.

She giggles and hands me her hand, and I begin tracing the lines.

"All I'm saying is let's be nice, and not say things like that to people. Edith is sweet, but she's a fighter. You don't know these kids yet. You haven't even really trained."

"Fine!" I say. "I'll stop telling people they're going to die. Even though I think it."

"You know I won the Hunger Games right?"

My jaw drops. Aunt Mack killed someone? How did she do it? I don't think that she even has a mean bone in her body.

"You killed someone?"

"No. I didn't kill a single person. That's why it's important to take my class seriously." she says with a wink as she gets up and walks away. She tousles my hair, and then goes back to a now smiling Edith.

I wonder who else has won the Hungry Games?

And I'm here to remind you.

Of the mess you left when you went away.

It's not fair, to deny me.

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me.

You, you, you, oughta know.

Iris Dupree, 33

Combative and Strategic Mentor

Last day of the first year

We decided as a group instead of giving the kids grades, that every year we would rank them depending on where we see them placing in the games as of that year. It's a dreadful task. They're five years old, and we are supposed to judge them on brutality and instincts of survival.

What I find fascinating however, is the fact that these kids are already so much like their old selves. Jinx is already taking up her old psychic facade, Ares and Honora are already brutal. You see kids like Ava and Edith who are still unchanged by their games. I hope they never get their memories back. They don't deserve that.

In my hand is a list of the placements from Victor to 26th. Chanel had to play mediator, and it was very hard on all of us. We all saw potential in our kids, but then again, they're our kids.

I walk down the hallway of the President's house. I knock on the door at the end of it, and Rachel calls me in. Seeing me she and Star Fire sit up in their seats. They want to see the rankings.

"Is that it?" ask Star as she stares at me with a look of excitement.

"Yes." I say. I walk over to the couch and sit down. " Before I give this to you though, I want you to know that you two disgust me. The fact that you're excited to see these kids play out their lives for a number on a page is ugly. You two are ugly."

"Is that all?" asked Rachel clearly unphased.

"No, lastly, with all due respect, fuck you, Rachel."

I slam the paper down and storm out of the room. I walk down the hallway, and wipe a tear from my eyes. I wasn't supposed to feel this much for them. I wasn't supposed to love these kids.

They're my whole world. I'm training my world to self destruct.

"Iris, get it together. Your babies are counting on you. At least one of them is getting out. Mark my words." I wipe my eyes and proceed out of the hallway, and down the marble staircase. Sitting in the chairs nice and quiet sit my six babies. My six treasures. I make it to the bottom and they get up to greet me. "Come on guys," I say. "We are getting burgers tonight."

The smiles and looks on their faces only intensify my love for them. What did I get myself into?

92 reviews is amazing. Thank you so much. I also hate to bring this up, because it's petty. However, last time it happened and I got angry messages from the people it happened to. I do kill the tributes who submitters aren't reading. I arc the story ahead of time, but in all honesty I work hard on the chapters, and if there is someone who worked hard on a tribute and is keeping up with the story, rather than someone who submitted and disappeared I do find it rude. It's not really to be a jerk, or be a review whore (though I am a self proclaimed one), but out of respect for the people reading.

ANYWAYS, at the end of each group, we will have a list, Surprise my friends the list on the website is the identical to the one you'll see on Huck's group ending chapter. They'll be 16. Their final placements are unknown to be honest, though I do think I have my top 4. The graduation list however, doesn't necessarily mean the tribute is going far. Remember the hunger games is a bit unpredictable.

The list is based off what you've seen in chapters. I've tried to give everyone a chance. Keep in mind I'm keeping social and combative on the same playing field.
