I open the door to MY office in MY mansion. I walk over to MY desk and see a note on MY desk. It reads:

Dear Cornelius,

I decided that you’re old enough to take care of yourself. Your 19! You’ve grown so much since I’ve met you. I have enjoyed  taking care of you. You were the son I’ve always wanted.  I’m leaving tomorrow to go visit district 12. I may not see you again, but I love you and I know you will become a great president.

Love,

     Hadley

I throw the note on the ground. I don’t care Hadley left. She was just there to start my life. I never loved her. Her sweet happy smile made me feel sick. Her soothing voice reminded me of Sapphire and those memories NEVER made me happy. Forget about her. She’s gone.

I changed the date of the games, and they are changing the theme just as I asked. My plan worked and the feeling of being in power is so wonderful. For the first time ever I feel happy. I will torture the districts and make them feel the same pain I’ve felt all my life.

I sit down at my desk and think about my life back at District 2, but mostly about now and how I will rule what’s left of Panem.
