When Ms.Kennedy was trying help me to take some of the flour off my face, it stiff my skin. I erect want to rip off my skin and let myself bleed to death. Chapter 4 When my grandpa and I came home from the principals office, I ran upstairs to my living room and burst into tears. I didnt understand why Clove was doing this to me. I mean, why me? When the last month of school came along, it was the worst month of my life. This is all started when Clove decided to throw a birthday party for Rue. One of the food that was suppose to be provided at the party was a look-a-like oatrepast cookies, but they didnt taste like oatmeal at all.Clove, Glimmer, Cato, and Marvel (or I call Cloves friends the Career Tributes) forced me eat this cookie that was filled with dead insect, dust, dirt, br oken eggs shells, you name it. I felt sick for 2 weeks after that incident. Chapter 5 I went to Rues part a couple days after the cookies incident. I bought a nice, brand new outfit for Rues party. A blue tankful top with lace on the top and on the bottom on the shirt, a dark hoary skirt from American Eagle, a light opaque jacket to go on top of my shirt, and my black Franco Santo wedges I got from my grandma for Easter when she went to Seattle a week forward Easter.The party began at an Italian restaurant. I had a terrible time at the restaurant because Cato accidentally split pasta sauce from the meal he ordered onto my brand new top. I knew pasta sauce was hard to remove on clothes. We later went to Cloves house, which it is not far from the restaurant. Clove told everyone that will be a water fight in an open field across the street from Cloves house and told everyone to get change into their swimsuit. I, however, did not know on that point was discharge to be a water figh t, but I remember Rue told me that the party is expiration away to do something with water.During the water billow fight, I had a hard time throwing the balloons at everyone because the size of the balloon was so big over my small child-like hands. The Career Tributes, including Clove, enjoyed this fight. Why? Because I was their. Of course, they had to use me as their target. after the fight, I was extremely cold and wet thought that I was going to get a mingy cold the next day. Chapter 6 We then watch Drag Me To Hell, a abhorrence movie. Rue hates horror movie. I gave Rue her birthday present while the movie was on. I got her a journal, and a al-Quran call Three Cups Of Tea.I also made her a homemade card, using my grandmothers extra card descent and stamps she collected over the years. Rue loved her present and the card. Meanwhile, while everyone else was watching the movie. There was a cleansing scene on the TV. Everyone jump, including Cato, who split an entire glass of l emonade on my brand new skirt. I was so close of slapping him on the face. He spilt the lemonade juice on me on purpose. Chapter 7 After I got home from the party was over, I went home with my Dad, and my sister Prim, angry and upset. I have to take action, but how? work was ending in 2 weeks, so whats the point? Nearly two 2 weeks later, just a day before grade 8 grad, Clove and I got into a fight. She was violent and horrifying, like if she was going turn into a nasty beast. She punched me, scratched me and called me names. All I did was telling her what I thought about her. carnal knowledge her that she stole Peeta from me, I tried to fight back. , but I didnt want to because I know that fleck is not a way to solve the problem. Her career tributes were right behind her to defend her. The rest of my classmates went along what Clove told them.Too scared to stick up for themselves. They were afraid of Clove and they did not want to go against her. They just watch me suffer. Rue wa s trying to break up the fight between me and Clove. The scratch on my left arm, nearby my elbow, turned into a scab. The scab drove me crazy and I couldnt stop scratching it. I decided to turn the scab into a scar. To show people how violent Clove was really was. Chapter 8 Finally, at last, Grad day came along. Unfortunately, though, I had to miss grad practice a couple hours before grad because of Clove.I had to sit in the office for the hour while the my grade 8 class was practicing for the ceremony. I hate the fact that I missed something that was once in a lifetime, but Mr. Burwell was only doing this to value me. The rest of the day, everyone (except for the Career tributes and Clove) signed my year book. The torture was finally over. No more than fear. No more hiding. No feeling like I want to take my own life and cutting myself. I can move from this nightmare and go to high school in peace. The best part of going to high school, is that I wouldnt have to worry about Clove anymore. Epilogue In the end, the story is on my mind everyday lie it was grade 8 all over again. One of the thongs I fall upon is to speak to others. When I talk to someone about things, it makes me feel better. When I left middle school, Clove and her tributes mates left me a lot of damage, physically, mentally, and emotional. When I see my self in the mirror, I dont feel beautiful and sees myself as an ugly person and wishes to have plastic surgery. When I do my hair and make-up, the comments of what Clove and her pack said to me would bother me.When I go clothes shopping, I would hate it because Im not skinny and fit like Clove and Glimmer. to be honest, its hard to get over it. It will haunt me for years to come. Note If you notice on the names of the characters (expect for Mr. Burwell and Ms. Kennedy), you may recognize their names because they are from the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collions I look up to Katiness Everdeen (the main character in the novel) as a role mildew bec ause she fought what she believed in and got through the worst through out the novel. I also got introduced the Hunger Games in grade 8 by my learning support teacher, by Mrs. Collions.
