Robin, Lewis and I entered into a train, with our stuff in our purses we just went straight to the Capitol, where the Games are held.
- Hey, Fernanda.
- Hi, Lewis. - He was so handsome. His body was so perfect. And he knows martial arts. I am sure he will do well in the Games. He has a real chance of winning it. But me? I would be a burden to him.
- What you did that was so brave! Volunteering for your sister! - He said.
- Thank you. But I am sure I will die there.
- Why are you saying that?
- Because... I can't do anything. I can't hunt, I don't know how to use a weapon nor a gun, can't climb trees...
- You can follow my lead! We can do this together! I can teach you some things...
- No, Lewis... Only one survives.
- Hey, Fernanda and Lewis - Robin came up - Listen up. I heard Fernanda saying that she can't do anything. Why did you volunteer, then?
- I didn't think too much, I wanted to save my sister.
- Well... Your sister can do something?
- She can't do much than cook. I can do bakery stuff. That's all.
- I really mean it. You must learn something else you will be one of the first to die.
- At least I will die knowing that I saved my sister.
- Not really. She can be chosen next year and there will be nobody to save her.
- Shit... God damnit! - I started to cry.
- Hey.... You are not helping her... - Lewis said and started to make me feel calm.
- Fernanda, don't cry. I can teach you somethings I know and I teach in the dojo.
- But Lewis... It's not even fair!
- I will do it for our District, okay Fer? Plus, I don't like to see girls crying.
- What if it only lasts you and me, Lewis?
- I guess we will have to fight for each other... And I win... Maybe. - He looked at me with a grin on his face and it was super cute. I don't know why I am feeling this... Like he wants to know me better.
- I'm good at throwing darts, does it sound threatening? - I asked.
- If you are good at aiming, you can throw shurikens, why not?Robin stopped our talk to introduce someone.
- Guys, listen up. This is our stylist, her name is Ellie. - Robin brought the woman who would work with us. She is super colourful, her face is with heavy make up and her hair is light blue. Her smell is super good... She smells like candy.
- Hi, Fernanda and Lewis! Beautiful couple aren't they? - Ellie said.
- They... They will represent us at the Hunger Games... - Robin said.
- I am from the Capitol. And I am here to help with your looks.
- Oh, I have terrible eyebrows and a huge moustache. - I whined.
- I can do something related to this eyebrow and moustache of yours, Fernanda. - Ellie said.
- I appreciate but... You haven't seen anything.
- I don't wanna talk about your "bush". We'll have to take care of this hair of yours... Lewis, you are already good looking, but you have to cut your hair.
- Why do we have to do all of this? We will die anyway... - I said.
- Because you will be in National Television. You two will be interviewed by James Corden on his Carpool Karaoke. You will have to be nice so people can place your bets on us. The more you score, the more you have chances of actually winning Hunger Games.
- I don't get it, really. - I said.
- You will understand when you know things about backstage, Fernanda. - Ellie smiled at me.We arrived at the Capitol and damn. That place was so incredible. So different from our poor mines and houses made of old wood. There were huge buildings and lots of fast food around... Those brands we only see at TV.
Getting out of the train was hard, because all the media was there waiting for us to arrive with mics on our faces.
- Fernanda, why did you volunteer?
- Why you took your sister's space?
- Lewis, is your father happy that you are here in Hunger Games?
Damn. So many questions. Ellie tried to calm them down while Robin, Lewis and I ranaway from those stupid journalists.
We entered in a very fancy hotel, with the numbers of each District there. Since we are the District 12, we would be on the 12th floor.Robin started to do some sort of briefing while we were on elevator.
- Guys... I need you to eat well, healthy and focus on your training... And Fernanda? What am I going to do with you?
- What do you mean?
- I mean in the arena. What kind of guns do you like?
- I don't know...
- Do you have anything else in mind? - Robin asked me.
- Shurikens. Darts. I'm good at it.
- Good. How will you use it?
- I still don't know...
- It's not like that Fernanda! - Robin said.
- You will learn more with me, Fer. - Lewis offered his hand, smiling at me. Okay, he is super charming...
