Love & Reapings

Things around the Odair house were better than Finnick could ever imagine.Hunter was a handful but was usually out at someone elses house.Finnick didn't mind,though,because it gave him time to spend with his beautiful girl.Traditionally,in District 4 the age of marriage is 16 at the least,so they had to wait an extra year for Jamie to turn 16.On this particular afternoon,Hunter was with Ella,Jamie was sitting on the couch staring off into space and Finnick was sitting next to her.The reaping for the Hunger Games loomed over them.Jamie was still entered but Finnick had only let her name be put into as many times as necessary which is 4 times.He didn't want to risk tessera and besides,they didn't need it."Finnick...what if my name is called?What will happen then?And if I die in the games..."Jamie started but was cut off by Finnick."You won't be chosen!You can't be.I mean,what are the chances that you will be chosen?"Finnick asked soothingly.Jamie nuzzled up against his chest."I love you."She told him."Who doesn't?"He asked.The two laughed.

Two days later,at 2:00pm Jamie stood in the square in her roped off area.She could see Finnick and the other victor from District 4,Mags,sitting up on the stage.They're the mentors for the games.They waited for a couple minutes while they played the anthem then the Capitol representative called "Ladies First!"And plunged her hand down.Then she flattened the slip on a pedestal."Jamie Kelton."The woman called.Jamie froze.That was the fake last name her and Finnick came up with.She saw Finnick tense up on stage and knew who District 4s girl tribute would be.Her.
