Katniss' Journal

If Katniss had a journal through the whole experience, I imagine this is what it would be like. I do not own this Character, she is part of the Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins. BEWARE: SPOILERS!!!
 I realize Katniss really didn't bring a journal into the games, it would be impossible. But this is WHAT IF she could.

The Reaping:
Today was the worst day ever, seriously. I don't know how it went so wrong. Earlier in the morning, Prim was worried that she would be picked, i basically laughed in her face. It seemed so unlikely. But then it happened. Sweat dripping down our backs, we waited for Effie to announce the names. "Primrose Everdeen!" Effie squealed into the microphone. I took in a sharp breath and glared at Effie with sudden hatred. Paralyzed, i watched as the Peacekeeper drug Prim through the crowd. My heart pounded and my head spun. I knew what i had to do, i just couldnt believe this was happening. Before prim walked up on stage, i yelled, "NO! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" Nervous eyes glanced at me, mothers heart was some what relieved, but Prim screamed. I marched onstage, ready. Then they called his name. Peeta Mellark. Why did HE have to be chosen? He saved my life, and now i'm going to kill him. Just great. Our eyes met for a moment but i pulled mine swiftly away, i couldnt let him get to me. Afterwards, we said our goodbyes. This was probably the second worst part of the day.The whole time i wanted to burst out in tear but i kept reminding myself to be strong. When Mother and Prim came in, mom said tearful goodbyes but Prim sobbed. She made me PROMISE i would win, i didnt have the heart to tell her the chances of THAT happening. Then Peeta's dad came in, he gave me cookies. Not sure why, but he did. After that, Madge came in. What did she give me? A mockingjay pin. She said she wanted it to be the thing i bring from district 12. Ofcourse, i agreed, even though i have no clue why she gave it to me. One of the hardest goodbyes was Gale. I made HIM promise that he would take care of Mom and Prim once im gone. He said yes, like a good friend should. When his time was up, i was left alone. So in my small spare alone time, I am writing this. Only here can i tell the truth. I am terrified. I am lonely. I am worried. I am angry. But most of all, I will actually miss District 12.
