The Derp Games

Chapter 15

"Hells yeah," I think, as Peewee and I have a twerk-off all the way to a Capitol car.

I sit down laughing with Peewee and see Hammy sitting on the other side of the car.

He gives me a high ten.

"Nice job, Peepiss," he says with a wink, "And uh, nice try Peewee."

Peewee raises an eyebrow, but then he just shakes his head and smiles at him anyway. I remain silent.

"Good to see you too, Hammy," says Peewee.

Hammy flips him off and turns the opposite direction.

This type of thing, 2 people winning, doesn't happen in the Games. Ever. Or at least it never has...

Ellie, who is sitting next to Hammy finally speaks up,

"I have some terrifying news," she says while covering her face and quivering in fear.

Does she think I'm going to hit her or something?

"It's President Snowman," she pauses again, to see our reaction,"He isn't in a very good mood."

"Why the hell not? Is he not impressed?!" I say holding my arms up.

"Calm down Dogpiss!" Hammy says, "Just let Ellie explain."

He puts his hand on her arm.

What. The. Heck?

"He's angry that I gave Peewee the burger necklace. He feels like it's mocking him," Ellie says finally.

Peewee glances down at the golden burger necklace around his neck.

"You mean this?" He says pointing at the delicate piece of jewelry.

"Yes. He put together that your costume, the burgers, were done to represent your district. And we all know that burgers are cooked by flames created by coal. And your district mines coal. And his last name has to do with snow, and you have to do with fire-broiled burgers, so he knows that you guys were meant to clash," Ellie is violently shaking and sweating.

"Ellie, that doesn't make any sense!" I say.

"Think of it this way; Snow melts when fire is around," Ellie says in a stern voice.

Peewee stares at me and then looks at Ellie.

"So what do we do?" Peewee asks.

"Keep up the love act; just ignore President Snowman. He should get over it eventually," says Hammy.

Yeah, because he totally got over that time when the districts were making fun of his name.

That's how the Derp Games began.

I can only imagine what could happen if Snowman doesn't get over this.

"Hold up," Peewee says, "what did you just say? About our love being an... Act?"

Crap.

"Peewee, I hope you know that I was doing this to save our lives," I say.

Peewee stands up and glares at me,

"No. You said you liked me! I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAL!"

Peewee sits back down and begins sobbing into his hands.

I pat him on the back slowly and glare at Hammy.

Hammy shrugs his shoulders and looks at Ellie.

"It looks like we're here," Ellie says, breaking the silence.

I look out the window to see that we are back in our District. Now that Peewee and I have won the Games, we have to live together in a mansion. Hammy gets his own, but the Capitol thought that we were going to get married soon anyway, so they put us in a house together.

These next few years with Peewee are going to be very awkward.

I can't focus on that now, though. All I can think of is President Snowman.

Because of Peewee's burger necklace, we have put everyone in danger. Everyone that I know; Ellie, Hammy, Peewee, Plum, my mother, Garth, Cinnabon, and most importantly, me.
