I Get changed into a blue T-shirt and jeans and walk sleepily to the crystal clear table. Tersilla and Rick are up. "At 12:00 you will go to your stylist." Tersilla explains. Reina comes out of her room and we talk until 12:00. "Just go with the stylist's." she tells me. At 12:00 we go to a light blue room and get waxed and ready for our stylist's. Cinna walks in and its just him and me."So. We have to do something to do with coal.And coal is used to burn,Like the sun. You ok with a bit of heat?" He says. Next thing I know im whisked into a room and start getting ready for the Parade. I go to hair and Make-Up then get into my costume, and get my make-up fixed up. Then we go to the Chariots. Our horse is coal black with a black mane and teensy weensy black specks on his coat. I stroak the beauty. We hop into our Chariot. We hear the music blast and Cinna puts a torch to our arms. Then District 11 goes out and Cinna whispers "smile and wave." Then we ride out and the crowd gasps.

We are like Human Torches. We have orange and yellow jumpsuits and orange pumps (Rick has sneakers of course.) My hair is done in a bun that my mother told me about. It was in the 74th Hunger Games. My face is bland of Make up exept for red lipstick and some Black eyeliner.

But the most amazing part is that we are on fire! We have special braclets that have flames on them. "When the time is right, all you do is stretch." Cinna told me. I stretch my arms out wide. The flames streak up my arms but I dont feel a thing. Just a little tickle. The crowd screams with joy. I blow kisses and they throw roses at me. I catch one and slide it through my hair. We circle around one more time then we dissapear into where we started. I Cinna tells me I did perfect.

I might have a chance to win the Hunger Games.
