"how are your survival skills?" Effie asks me at breakfast in the morning.
i take a deep breath and look down at my plate.
"okay i guess. ive killed things before." i admit. "at least my kills will be under 23 and not in the thousands!" i mutter, glaring at my parents.
"see why i didnt wanna tell her Peeta!" mom hisses at dad.
"we had to! what if they start asking her questions in public you dont want her to be totally confused! she didnt even know what was happening at the reaping!" dad says defending himself. mom has always been stubborn and hostile. Hunter stifles a laugh at my not knowing anything.
"as long as they keep all the bombs away from Hawthorne!" mom says giving Hunter a dirty look showing hate. Hunter just rolls his eyes and shoves an egg in his mouth.
"at least i wont starve to death like rich girl over there!" he says motioning to me and talking with his mouth full, slurring his words.its true we're the richest people in the country but our parents honor their childhoods of starving and never spoil us, although you can always get whatever you want out of dad. he hates to see people sad or hurt. so he always caves eventually.
"manners!" Effie squeals. "and stop with all of the fighting you people!" she adds.
"i mean i would normally expect as much from Katniss, but seriously." Haymitch says. i dont know why Haymith is here but he is.
mom sends him the same deadly glare before ignoring him entirely. "Sophia, go get your brother." she says not looking at me.
"Axl's here too? why?" i ask.
"because i hate my mother and dont trust her to look after him and everyone else was already here." she explains shooing me off to go get him.
i get up rudely and go down the hall to his room.

i sgo in and find him curled up crying in the corner.
"Ax? you okay?" i say sitting next to him.
"Sophie? are you going to die?" he asks crawling into my lap.
"no." i say simply. "why? what'd mom and dad tell you?" i ask worriedly.
"they told me what the games are." he says into my shirt.
"did they say anything about them?"
"no." he says. "just about what the games are. why did they tell you?"
"yes....and i dont think you would want to know." i start off
"but it turns out mom and dad are horrible people."
SORRY FOR A REALLY SHORT CHAPTER BUT THIS IS THE BORING PART OF THE BOOK AND I JUST WANT TO MOVE ALONG SO I CAN WRITE ABOUT THE GAMES SOONER!!!!!
I HAVE A AWESOME IDEA FOR THE ARENA!!!!!! IT WILL BE A REALLY BIG SHOCK!
