No one really needs me…I do I need you” Peeta and Katniss

Let the Hunger Games Begin!

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray Forget your woes and let your troubles lay

This is the first kiss that we’re both fully aware of… This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me...

You’re still trying to protect me. Real or not real,” he whispers.”Real,” I answer. “Because that’s what you and I do, protect each other.

Tick tock, tick tock.-Wiress

I begin to fully understand the lengths to which people have gone to protect me. What I mean to the rebels. My on going struggle against the Capitol, which has so often felt like a...

Look, if you wanted to be babied you should have asked Peeta.

She’s not here,” I tell him. Buttercup hisses again. “She’s not here. You can hiss all you like. You won’t find Prim.” At her name, he perks up. Raises his flattened ears. Begins to meow...

Are you preparing for another war, Plutarch?” I ask.”Oh, not now. Now we’re in a sweet period where everyone agrees that our recent horrors should never be repeated,” he says. “But collective thinking is usually...

We’re victors, remember? We’re the ones who can survive anything they throw at us

Do you want me to have them sedate you until it’s over?

I’m left with Haymitch in the rubble, wondering if Finnick’s fate would have one day been mine. Why not? Snow could have gotten a really good price for the girl on fire.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Yeah,” I say, wiping the sweat off my face with my sleeve.He left me a rose! I want to scream, but it’s not information I’m sure I should share with someone like Plutarch looking on....

And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.

An ability to look into the confusing mess of life and see things for what they are.

If you hit bottom, there’s a whole lot of people here to help you up

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true…

I thought he wanted it, anyway,” I say. “Not like this,” Haymitch says. “He wanted it to be real.

I miss him so badly it hurts.

I don’t know what it is with Finnick and bread, but he seems obsessed with handling it.

there’s plenty of blame to go around.

I know we promised Haymitch, we’d do exactly what they said, but I don’t think he considered this angle.’ ‘Where is Haymitch, anyway? Isn’t he supposed to protect us from this sort of thing?’ says...

Because…because…she came here with me.

You don’t destroy what you want toacquire in the future.

I’ve been down by the stream collecting berries. Would you care for some?”I would, actually, but I don’t want to relent too soon. I do walk over and look at them. I’ve never seen this...

But collective thinking is usually short-lived. We’re fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction.

I search his eyes for the slightest sign of anything, fear, remorse, anger. But there’s only the same look of amusement that ended our last conversation. It’s as if he’s speaking the words again. “Oh,...

No, when the time comes, I’m sure I’ll kill just like everybody else. I can’t go down without a fight. Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they...

Impulsively, I lean forward and kiss him, stopping his word. This is probably overdue anyway since he’s right, we are supposed to be madly in love.

I don’t want to lose the boy with the bread.

You’d have thought we planned it,” says Peeta, giving me just the hint of a smile.”Didn’t you?” asks Portia. Her fingers press her eyelids closed as if she’s warding off a very bright light.”No,” I...

Because it doesn’t matter anymore, and because I’m so desperately lonely I can’t stand it.

It’s lovely. If only you could frost someone to death.””Don’t be so superior. You can never tell what you will find in the arena. Say it’s a gigantic cake-

But I don’t know what to him about the aftermath of killing a person. About how they never leave you.

Remember that even in war there is a time for restraint. A time to hold back your sword.

I realize, for the first time, how very lonely I’ve been in the arena. How comforting the presence of another human being can be.

That should have been my strategy! By the time I’ve worked through the emotions of surprise, admiration, anger, jealousy, and frustration, I’m watching that reddish mane of hair disappear into the trees well out of...

Haymitch isn’t thinking of arenas, but something else. “Johanna’s back in the hospital.”I assumed Johanna was fine, had passed her exam, but simply wasn’t assigned to a sharp shooters’ unit. She’s wicked with a throwing...

I must have loved you a lot.

vulnerable” for ferocity. I’m not witty. Funny. Sexy. Or mysterious By the end of the session, I am no one at all.

I’m okay once I realize you’re here.

Because I’m selfish. I’m a coward. I’m the kind of girl who, when she might actually be of use, would run to stay alive and leave those who couldn’t follow to suffer and die.

If you had hope, maybe you could find a way to make things change,. Because if you thought about it, there were so many reasons to try.

You could live a thousand life times but you will never deserve that boy.
