               I woke up this morning and cleaned the house. Not really cleaned. More of made it look abandoned. My parents have been dead for a month now. They died in a  freak hovercraft accident. I've been alone since, but I manage.
Between the hunting and the terasea I have enough to stay alive.
The only person who knows I'm on my own is an old man who buys my meat. His name is Mr.Woodvine.
He makes Sure no one comes poking around my house so I don't get taken. 
      I quickly put on my only dress and did my hair. I walked out the house and met Mr.Woodvine out there. He was posing as my guardian so we wouldn't raise questions.
          They pricked my finger and went through the usual Hunger Games announcements. I stood with the kids my age as the escort lady started walking to the glass bowl with the girls names. She pulled out a slip of paper and read it aloud."Cedar Underwood." I wasn't even scared this was only the best part.
