We all know Katniss Everdeen's experience in the arena of The 74th Annual Hunger Games, but what about Peeta's?
Peeta Mellark is a merchant boy from District 12. His family owns the bakery in town and he works in it. Compared to many other children in the District he is pretty well off. But things aren't always as perfect - as perfect as they can get in District 12 - for Peeta as it would appear, and when he gets unexpectedly reaped as a tribute in the 74th year of The Annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death with only one winner, his life is turned upside down, especially since he is going in there to compete against the girl he has loved since he was 5, Katniss Everdeen.
All rights go to Suzanne Collins for these books and characters, I just wanted to share what I believe would have been Peeta's experience.
"My name is Peeta Mellark."
"I am seventeen years old."
"I am in love with Katniss Everdeen"
"She betrayed me."
"I was in the Hunger Games."
"I've been taken prisoner."
"Why am I not dead?"
"I should be dead."

Peeta Mellark is abandoned. The girl he thought had loved him has left him in the hands of the Capitol. Her actions are not tolerated, but she's safe in District 13. Peeta holds onto his love for the Girl on Fire, but he's interrogated, tortured, and hijacked.

(Btw Suzanne Collins owns this world and these characters (duh) not me)
