Keegan and Jasper EPIC meeting; beat that Antoine.

[Marisa]

It seems as though The Hunger Games bring on more lax policies at the primary school this morning. Everyone seemed to move in slow motion today, the second day of the Hunger Games. When I visited Sophie, she was as bright and bubbly as always. She in unable to comprehend what's going on despite the fact that she'll be entered in next year.

Sophie's smile always brightened up my day. I needed it today too; watching Archer fight for his life was almost too much. I was
especially close with Archer Fields. Well, he didn't know that. Actually, I'm pretty sure he has no idea who I am, but that doesn't matter because I'm in love with him.

Sophie's class made pins with pictures of President Snow on them. He looked cold and cruel, as usual, but I accepted as a gift and wore it on my shirt. I spent about two seconds wondering what other people might think when they look at the pin, but decided just to forget it. I stopped caring what other people thought a long time ago.

I walked back to my apartment slowly trying to think of other ways I could gain custody of Sophie. That's all I thought of anymore, it seems. As I walked on the sidewalk, I watched kids get let out of school. I left early everyday from school just to say from Sophie; I never left with friends.

The kids seemed happy and uncaring; I wish I could be that young again. I wish I didn't have to fight off other kids every other day just because I am of a different sexual orientation. I wish I didn't have to worry about Sophie and whether or not those bruises really were from falls. I wish I didn't have to pretend like the man and woman walking next to me with a young girl weren't the same man and woman that I once looked up to and loved.

As I saw my parents walk by without even a hint of recognition, I did a quick 180 to start walking in the other direction. My body crashed into another and we both fell onto the ground. I got up first in a rush to apologize.

"Oh man, I'm really sorry. Here let me help you up," I held out a hand to him and he looked up at me with the most gorgeous blue eyes I've ever seen. Archer who?

"Just smile."

Why is it people always feel the need to talk about the Hunger Games? And boast about it? It makes me sick. But being in district two, they can't help it. They were brought up like this. They're careers. I'm not a career. I'm a guy who doesn't like to do much of anything, except laugh.

I wasn't really paying attention, so when someone hit me I was caught completely off guard. I fell to the ground, and the boy I had run into did as well. He was the first on his feet, offering me his hand,"Oh man, I'm really sorry. Here let me help you up."

Hello there. I took his hand, he was a lot stronger than he looked and he heaved me to my feet. He pulled a little too hard, because I bumped into his shoulder. Not that I minded. "Oh, I'm sorry too," I smiled,"I wasn't even aware of where I was walking and I didn't see you there."

I laughed and ran my fingers threw my hair and then continued. "I really need to pay more attention to things." I smiled and he smiled back. I looked at his chest. A President Snow pin? Wonderful. It disgusted me, and President Snow looked cruel and creepy. I wanted to rip it off his shirt but refrained myself from doing so. I think he caught me staring at it.

"Oh, I'm sorry too. I wasn't even aware of where I was walking and I didn't see you there. I really need to pay more attention to things," He said as he ran his fingers through his brown hair.

"You might want to work on that, you know," I said with a smile. "It might be a tiny bit important for you to be aware of where you were going." I said sarcastically. We both shared a laugh, but his died short. I saw his eyes find their way to the pin on my shirt. My President Snow pin. President Snow, the most hated person in all of the districts. Shit, I've already made a bad first impression with this guy, I thought as he tried to keep disgust from crossing his face.

"Oh, this," I chuckled, "my little sister made this in her class at school. I don't see her too often, so I try to cherish the things she gives me, you know?" I smiled as I thought of Sophie. I bet she had a blast making these pins; she loved arts and crafts.

The boy, whose name I still haven't learned, seemed to lighten up at the mention of my sister. I assume he was relieved that I wasn't a Capitol Monkey. "I'm Keegan by the way," I said holding out my right hand to him. He returned the handshake with a strong hand. I smiled at the thought of those hands holding mine on more than one occasion.

He told me his pin was from his little sister. I smiled at the thought. So, he isn't a Snow supporter. That was nice to know. Expecially in District 2. So many people wanted to go into the games. Trained to go into the games even. It didn't mae any sense to me. The boy held out his hand. "I'm Keegan, by the way."

I shook his hand. I didn't really want to let go, but did obediently. I wandered what the odds of Keegan being gay were. Not in my favour, whatever they were. "Jasper." I added, sticking my hands into my pockets, and rolling back and forth on the balls of my feet. "Nice to know your wearing that for a reason other than supporting him."

I took a moment to admire his hair. Iwandered why I hadn't bumped ito him before. I didn't remember ever seeing him in school. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing him anywhere before. "So, you have a sister? How old?" After a moment, I realized how that sounded. I hoped he didn't think I wastrying to find out hings about his sister.
