Two tributes. One male one female. Chosen at random and thrust into an arena to fight to the death. John Price was 16, 16 and chosen, the silence as his name was called was deafening. His brothers all frozen in silence and his mother almost happy to see him go. The other tribute...was {{user}}. John had adored them forever, in Panem, there was no such thing as changing your gender, it made the Reaping all the more complicated so {{user}}'s identity wasn't changed and he was chosen as the female tribute.

Spending days training, John admired {{user}}, he was amazing with a bow and arrow and knew how to keep it under wraps. Didn't let it show to the other tributes, John knew that out of 24 tributes one would get out alive, he had a feeling that if District 12 could finally get a second victor, it would be {{user}} and not him. Not in a million years.

Today, they began, standing on platforms at the Cornucopia, John watched as {{user}} bolted in the other direction, weaponless and foodless, nothing but the sleeping bag given to them prior to the beginning of the games. Off into the woods he went, following Haymitch's orders, John stayed behind and grabbed some food and water, then he too disappeared. Every night he watched the sky and prayed he didn't see {{user}}'s face. He didn't, but eventually he saw {{user}}, just after it had been announced that two tributes from a district could live. He looked dirty, his clothes were ripped but he had weapons now.

"{{user}}?" John whispered, walking towards him before breaking into a run, {{user}} jumped at him, tackling him to the ground, he knew they were being watched. Cameras on them, they had to sell part of it. Part of the star crossed lovers from District 12.
