Review!!!!!!

My little sister, Prim, was NOT going into the Hunger Games. No Way. Not now, not ever.
I volunteered and Effie Trinket looked quite abashed by it. Lots of wandering eyes followed me through the crowds and onto the stage. Haymitch Abernathy embarassed himself; and Effie went on to draw the boys' name out.

"And this year's boy tribute is," she went on, snatching at the pieces of paper in the huge glass ball, "Gale Hawthorne!" Then I heard Hazelle let out an ear - splitting shriek of terror, as her beloved Gale climbed onto the stage, her son, her provider of many years - was going into the arena. I stood there shaking as the mayor read out the Treaty of Treason. We were told to shake hands, but Gale pulled me into a tight embrace; it didn't last long, as we were issued into the Justice Building by four Peacekeepers.

My mother and Prim came in to say goodbye to me. It broke my heart seeing her here, in her skirt and blouse, her blonde hair pulled up.
"Katniss,"she began, when a fresh set of tears rolled down her cheek "Promise me, promise you'll come home. Please Katniss" That set me off. I was falling to pieces inside - slowly, bit by bit, when she pulled me into a hug with my mother.
"Goodbye, sweet little Katniss," she said to me,
"Goodbye mother" I replied stiffly. They were ushered out of the room when the next person was called in. Peeta Mellark.

Peeta! The boy with the bread.
" Hey, umm Peeta" I said, not knowing why he was here,
"Katniss, I need to tell you something," he began, as I sat there patiently, "Something that I have been meaning to tell you since we were five years old."
"Okay, Peeta; go ahead,"

"Katniss Everdeen, I love you. I have loved you since we started school and my father pointed you out to me in the playground eleven years ago. All the girls muttering, screaming, whispering and throwing themselves at me - they mean nothing! You are everything to me, I watched you for so many years, not saying anything; praying you would notice me. That's why I gave you the bread" I was stunned into silence. I realised something in those two minutes. I cared about him too. I crossed the room and enveloped him in a hug.
" I care about you too," I began, "and i really believe you, I'll try make it home Peeta, then we can talk." I kissed his cheek and watched as he was led away from me. No sooner had he left, I was taken into a car by a Peacekeeper, where Haymitch, Effie and Gale were waiting for me.

We sped away from the town square and the Justice Building, to the train station, where we were bustled onto a large train, with the number 12 painted on the side in large white letters. I watched as the train chugged away from the station, eyes peeled as I gazed at my district. Thinking that I may not come back to it. All the while Gale was holding my hand...
