Everything is changing.

First Flynn changed. He wasn't around as much anymore, and when he was he looked sadder. He doesn't smile at me as much as he did before the games. He doesn't laugh as much as he did before. Mum says I shouldn't blame him, that he's been through a lot. That we all have. He also has one less ear than he did before, it looks weird, but mum told me not to say that to him. I did anyways.

Then we moved. I hadn't wanted to move, I liked our home even though it was cramped and kinda smelly. It was where I found Pretzel, my little ginger kitty. What if Pretzel can't find me and he gets sacred and hungry? I had asked mum, pleading with her to stop the move. But then mum said I could bring Pretzel with us- and that I would get my own room! Which was exciting at first... But the room is so quiet without the sounds of my sister's snores- did you know sometimes Dorothy farts in her sleep?

Then Flynn went away again, one of his new friends, that mean, weird one volunteering for the games. She died pretty quick. I think it hurt Flynn, but he's barely been home, so I can't ask him. Not that he would tell me, he doesn't talk to me much these days. Always so busy with his little group of friends, the ones who always play stupid dare games. Or the people from the Capitol who dress him up in expensive clothes. They always smell so nice, not like the people from six.

I'm changing too, mum calls it puberty.

I don't think I am ready for that.
