I miss my brother, there's not much else to say about it. I miss him a ton. Everyone has been giving me weird looks ever since he got reaped. They just look sad then shake their heads. I know what they're thinking, they think Thad is going to die, huh? I know I need to stay hopeful, but it's hard. Thad is smart and he's strong, but so are some of those other people. I just... I don't understand why he even tried to volunteer. It doesn't make sense to me. Did he just want away from our family that much? When he left he didn't hug me. It's not like a tough guy like me needs a hug, but I felt a little disappointed to be honest. What if I never get to hug him again?
I was thinking about all of this and sitting on the front porch to our house. That's when I saw someone walking towards the house. It was Quinn. Quinn wasn't like everyone else. She never gave me sad looks or tried to ignore me. Some of my friends have been avoiding me, and it really sucks. They said that everything with my brother has been bumming them out too much. But Quinn? She still treats me like the same ol' Alex Pepperwood. Maybe it's because she knows how tough I am. Or maybe it's because of how tough she is.
I have to admit, I get crushes on girls really easy. But I never had that problem with Quinn because she's not just some girl, she's Quinn. She's like one of the guys at this point. She likes to wrestle and doesn't mind teasing. Though, my chickens like to attack her just as much as they like to attack me. Yet when Sammy or Harmon go through the chicken coop they just ignore the two of them. There's definitely some favoritism going on here despite me being the one who raised those damn chicken.
Wait- I got distracted. Back to Quinn. She was walking towards me with a plate in her hand. I smiled to try to hide my sadness but I couldn't, my eyes gave it away. Of course I was sad, and she could tell. I couldn't tell what was on the plate, but I got up to greet her. I finally hit my growth spurt this last year and was now taller than her - something I had been waiting for for a while now. Now whenever I get the chance I stand as tall as I can to really rub it in her face who the tall one is now.
"Hey Quinn! Whatcha got there on the plate?"
