"It's always the same, same everyday. I wake up, get ready, go to school, hang out in the library during lunch, talk to no one but my teachers, go home, eat dinner, have awkward conversations with my mom about why I came home early again and how I'm not a normal teenager with normal friends and normal teenage drama, help her with dishes in silence, head to my room to do my homework, read vampire novels, yaoi's and fan fictions til I go to sleep. Dream about being in a love triangle or whatever than end up waking up before the alarm clock every time. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Over and over again. For once I want to have friends, for once I want to be adventurous, rebellious, fall in love, for once I want those day dreams to become real. Well that's how it was before I met Cecil Makus, he had a dark aura about him when I first laid eyes on him. I saw him do some scary things... But at the time it didn't frighten me, because I craved it."

So technically it's not the first Hunger Games, it's the 13th, but it is the first one with a set of rules, the first one with Sponsors and Game makers, the first one that not only tortures the hearts of the people from all 12 districts but is used to entertain the people of the capital as well. See how a new form of punishment is formed in Panem or what the new president of the Capital calls, "a new tradition". Remember, not every coal sparks a rebellion.

I never talk to anyone since that accident. I was broken from that terrible night, but that all changed when I met him. He told me many things that I never knew.

My lips began to tremble as I felt her lips brush against mine. "Why are you scared?" I tilt my head to the side. I can feel her hands exploring everywhere. I shut my eyes as I felt her hand go down, "Where is it? She complained. I forced myself to look at her, her expression was mixed with disguised and confusion. She found out, she knew. Her hands quickly withdrew and she backed up, with wide eyes. "You're a freak!" She yelled at me. "A disgusted freak!" She continued to scream. I felt my whole body to shake, she's going to tell. I ran out the door, leaving everyone. My brother called for me but I kept on running. Those words lingered in my mind, "You're a freak!" I never wanted to go back, never.
