Chapter One

I gulp as I walk up to the stage. I turn my head, and see Katniss, standing there, speechless. Out of all those papers, my one was called. I'm only 12 years old, and I don't know how it's really even possible. Effie helps me up, and I stand there, not wanting to say anything at all. I watch Effie as she digs her hand into the other ball filled with the boys' names. She pulls one out, and calls the name, "Peeta Mellark." She says. I scan the crowd, looking for the one boy who will join me in the arena. A boy with blond hair walks up to the stage to join me. I keep staring at him, he is about my sister's age, I think. We shake hands, and are put into two seperate rooms. Katniss and my mother walk in. No one says anything, Katniss just hugs me. My mother stands there, ignoring the world around her. Katniss probably used a lot of force to get her in here. The Peacekeepers come, and they have to leave. I wait for more people to come, but no one does.
