We ate out dinner in silence. No one said a word. Until Effie burst out

"Its nice to see you take after your 'Siblings'" She even did the 'Bunny-Rabbit Fingers.

I stared at her. That comment made me want to rip her hair out! Now I understand why she was so sad at the reaping! She doesnt care about me nor Gale She just feels bad for Katniss and Peeta!

I pushed back my chair, making sure it scraped the floor, and stormed to my room! I couldnt bare it anymore! Im not usually one to cry but i just welled up. Thinking about Prim. About Katniss. How I dont take after her. I cant fight. I cant Hunt. I cant kill. I have red hair. I cant sing so sweetly that the birds stop to listen! I cant-

All of a sudden Gale burst into my room breaking my thoughts.

"Adriana..."

I turned away. i cant talk to anyone.

He sat on my bed and lifted his hand. He put my hair behind my ear and asked

"You wanna talk?"

I looked at him and nodded.

"I cant do anything Katniss can do. i cant kill or hunt. Im not even as good as Prim. I cant heal people with medicen! If I cant do that, I have no chance in the arena! No chance!"

"You Have Me"

I stare into his dreamy, Seam eyes. He was being fully sincere. Then my eyes started filling with tears again. I tried to fight them

Dont you dare cry!! Dont!! Nit infront of him!! I was saying in my head but i couldnt stop them from pouring down my face.

Then he Wiped my tears from my face and left.

"Thank you" I whispered. He really made me feel better. I knew I could always rely on him to cheer me up. One of the many reasons I ache for him!!
