Finnick Odair

He had it all. Popularity, looks, athleticism, intelligence, kindness. He was that one kid everyone wanted to be friends with.

Me on the other hand. I was shy and never talked unless I had to. I didn't have friends. I always thought of myself as ugly or never good enough. My father didn't talk to me, or interact with me. Only if he needed a punching bag that is. So it was the biggest surprise that when us kids started school. Finnick Odair wanted to only be friends with me.

From the minute we talked it was a bond that even President Snow could not break. Secrets didn't exist with Finnick. I told him everything. He told me everything. About how his parents died at sea. He lived alone and survived with his skills. I told him about my abusive relationship with my dad. And how my mother had died of unknown reasons months after I was born.

Nothing came between us. That is, until reaping day of the 65th Hunger Games.

A/N that was my first chapter so hopefully you liked it. This was kinda a recap of how Finnick and Carina have a bond. And their backstories.
