My Game

Chapter 1

Listen I know the hunger games were tragic and scary and heartbreaking, but all I want more than anything in the world is for me to be able to compete in the hunger games. I know I have more than I could already ask for but I just want to prove to my parents and the whole world that I can live up to their glory. I mean i really don't have a simple life I live in victors village with all the other victors and there kids. Most people do not talk about what happened 20 years ago at the 77th annual hunger games or what happened after that . Especially my family they act like it never even happened, although I'm not supposed to I pester every single person with questions even my parents usually I will get a common like "dumb little girl don't even know what she getting herself into" or the more popular "how can she be from two famous people and be such a little shit". I don't know why I am this way really, my brother is a total smart ass hangs out with my grandmother a lot they do all this weird stuff I will never get it. I usually tend to hang out with the other kids or practice archery and go out hunting with my mom or her friend Gail. But things usually don't feel strange but today feelers different "KATIE!" that was the 27  time my mom had yelled for me to come down this morning, I was lying on my bed looking at some of my friends recent posts on snap it one of the newest social medieval I think I really don't know apps. My mom yelled my name once again and this time I heard stomps up the stairs " Katie get you ass downstairs or no archery for a week got it?" My mom looked pissed and opened my door so aggressively the hinges shuttered "fine I'm coming!" I yelled stomping down the stairs with my arms crossed. I sat down at the table with my arms crossed "eat" my dad said pushing the bread towards me he gave me a warm smile, my dad was good like that always new how to lighten up someone's mood. On the other hand mom was nice but could be impatient which is why they balanced each other out equally.  "Ru stop chewing with your mouth open it's disgusting" I said rolling my eyes "so you just eat strait up bread that's gross" he said flinging jam off his knife towards my face I scowled at him he is my dumb little brother who did not think before he did "you little-" I got up from my seat and chased him out of the house we ran for a while and Dina lot circles Neil we got to the south side of  12 and to my horrifying surprise there were government prat rolls with guns marching towards my stomach dropped and I grabbed ru hand and ran all the way back to our "hey what was th-" "no time just run ru!" I said flinging us threw the doorway and slamming the door shut "what was that all abou-" "government... patrols.... Marching.. this way" I said breathing heavily between each word I could see the concern cross my parents faces "ru Katie go upstairs and pick out something nice to wear" said mom walking into the other room me and ru raced to our bedrooms. Yes this is it I'm finally going to be a hunger game champion! My god I wish I would have known better back then.
