   " Primrose Everdeen!"

I was frightened by the voice, and especially the face, of Mrs. Crook right in front of me.
" Pay attention to the new assessment."
I looked down at my new paper. The subject of bombs. Each one had a name, and what they were capable of, and blah blah blah blah blah.
  Weren't they all just bombs?
" Anyway," she continued.
" The Capital is starting to attack us with bombs. We must be prepared at all coasts."
I wasn't paying attention at all. I think I even doodled a smiley face on my paper.
  " From observance past month, four of you will be chosen to go to District 4 for training. It will last for about three months, and you will work at a local hospital.  When I call your name, please stand."
My attention was turned on like a light bulb.
A chance to learn from the greatest people? It was too amazing to believe.

" Celia Mizla."
A blonde girl with bouncy curls squealed, and stood up.

" Ivy Raner."
Oh no.

" Primrose Everdeen."
I stood up, looking at the floor.

"Rory Hawthorne."
I could see the bride in his eyes, even though he was trying to hide it.

" That will be it. You are now dismissed. "
Rory and I hugged each other, telling each other good job and how proud we were.
" I have to head toward the hospital. See you later," I said, and waved to Rory.
I put on my nurse uniform and met up with my mom, who was staring at the television.
" Hey mom."
" Shhhh Prim. Be quiet."
I suddenly stopped talking and looked up at the tv. There was a sulking man, his face almost grey, and his once bright blue eyes dulled.

The man was Peeta.

I missed what he had said before, but his words now we're crystal clear.
" They're coming Katniss. " he said quietly.
Suddenly, he started screaming at the top of his lungs.
" THEY'RE COMING TO BOMB 13 AND YOU'LL ALL BE DEAD BY MORNING."
Immediately, the sirens started ringing.
Everyone walked in a calm orderly fashion downward.

Except me.

" I'm going to find Katniss!" I shouted to mom, but she didn't answer back.

I wasn't going to find Katniss. They would make sure she'd be ok.
I went to find my ugly cat, Buttercup.
Getting to our quarters was miserable.
I was like the opposite fish, swimming toward the wrong way. I opened the door, grabbed Buttercup, and shoved my journal, bracelet, and ribbon down my front pocket. Suddenly, a shudder rumbled through the room, and a scream escaped my mouth.
Oh God. I'm going to die. I thought.
That was, until Gale broke through the door.
" Prim!" Gale shouting, wrapping me in his arms. " Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
I shook my head at the speeding questions.
He grabbed my arm and lead me downstairs, when we heard counting. Twenty seconds.
They were counting the time until they had to close the door! " Come on!" Gale shouted.
As we were halfway down the stairs, I could hear Katniss's screeching. " No!" she shouted.
" Katniss!" I yelled, trying to tell her we were near. " We're coming!!" Gale yelled, right behind me. I slide through the closing door, but Gale just made it.
" What were you thinking?" Katniss yelled, but I could tell she was just scared.
My eyes started to fill with hot tears.
" I'm sorry, I just couldn't leave him. I could never live with myself."
Katniss didn't need anymore words, and wrapped me in a hug. It felt good to be in someone's safe arms again.
