Lie, Cheat, and Steal- The 8th Hunger Games

Seven years have passed since the first ever Hunger Games took place. Already, Districts One, Two, and Four have been labeled as the most likely winners, and have even started training children for the sole purpose of having them compete for glory. Barely any Victors have come out of the other Districts, none at all from most. Like District Three.

Lyra Hansen has lead a generally normal life since the Dark Days ended. Being socially awkward, her social life isn't considered amazing, but all in all, she's pretty fortunate. At thirteen, she, as well as her twin sister, Arrietta, have no need to take tesserae and have their names in the Reaping bowl twice. But there is still a possibility of one of them being picked, isn't there?

Lyra's life changes when she's chosen to compete. What can she rely on? She has no social skills, survival skills, strength, or really anything else helpful. All she has is her smarts. But that's not enough. She has absolutely no chance of winning.
