I walk to the chariot for the ceremony, I can't believe that I'm here. But if I wasn't here, Prim would be. I wait with Cinna by the District 12 chariot for Peeta and Portia. But in the corner of my eye, I see the boy from District 2 staring at me. He also volunteered, but not for the same reason as I did.
Cato. That's his name. I give him a look, he smiles and looks away.

The ceremony went by quickly and Peeta and I were lit with fake flame. We were lead to the training room and Haymitch, our mentor, told us to practice our weaknesses. I go to the 'build a shelter' section. This is new to me.
"Do you really think that you'll need to build a shelter in the arena?" a voice asks behind me.
"No. What do you want Cato?" I ask.
"Do you know how to use knives?"
"Only -"
He's a Career, I can't tell him!
"I don't need your help or answer any of your questions," I snap.
"Because I'm a Career?" he asks.
"Go away, Two!"
"Okay..."
He leaves and Peeta joins me.
"What did he want?" he asks.
"To know my strengths and help me," I say. "Did you tell him and let him?"
"Of course not."
