A/N~ I'm really bored. Yup that just sums this up. I'm EXTREMELY bored.

(Song- American Beauty/American Psycho~ Fall Out Boy)

Katniss' P.O.V~ "Oh Katniss you look gorgeous." Cinna said, leading me to a mirror.

"It's a funny thing what makeup will do to you." I said trying not to look at myself in the mirror.

I guess I did look pretty good. I had little makeup, which Cinna insisted I didn't need that much. And my outfit is pretty good.

"Now this is the fire you will have on you." Cinna said gesturing towards the fire that was placed on a stick. "Like I said, it's not real so there's no chance of you getting any burns."

I look towards the door to see Peeta walking in with Portia right behind him. He walked up to me smiling while Portia went to talk with Cinna.

"This should be fun." He said looking at our stylists.

"Is getting possibly burned alive fun?" I ask smiling at him.

"I guess we'll find out."

"All right guys, it's time to mount up!" Cinna calls to us.

We walk over the chariots and climb on.

"Okay, you need to smile to the crowd and try not to look nervous. We nod our heads and smile. "You can do this." He says placing his hand on my arm.

He smiles, and walks away giving me a little wave.

"I'll rip yours off, if you rip mine off." Peeta says smiling.

"Hopefully it won't be too late." I say smiling.

Then the carriages started moving. The crowd clapped, screamed, and even laughed. The crowd was chanting so many names. Suddenly I felt Peeta grab my hand and I yanked it out of his grip.

"C'mon they'll love it." He said.

I sigh and allow him to hold my hand. We shot our hands in the air just as our suits started to light up. It was on fire, but I felt nothing. Thank you Cinna!

I looked up at one of the big screens to see my face on it. Which is exactly what I don't want. I hate having attention being out on me. These next few days are going to be dreadful.

The the crowd started chanting our names, ignoring the other tributes. Someone threw a rose at me and I caught it with my free hand. Blowing them a kiss in the direction that the rose came from.

Finally we reached the balcony where President Snow stood. The roaring crowd quieted down so he could announce his speech.

It really wasn't anything special. I mean he's thanking us for going into an arena to possibly die. So I kind of zoned out through most of it.

The carriages started up again to get us away from the balcony and go meet our mentors and stylists.

"You guys were fantastic out there!" Effie complimented.

"Great job." Haymitch said smiling.

I wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying afterwards because I was paying attention to the district 2 tributes.

I kept getting glances and glares from them. What is their problem? The boy kept giving me this creepy smile, while the girl would just glare at me several times.

Haymitch must have seen who I was staring at, after he found out that I wasn't paying attention to him. Because next thing I know he's leading me back to the elevators.

Before we went in I took the time to glance back at the other tributes again, to find the boy still smiling and the girl still glaring. This sucks.

A/N~ So did you like this one? Hate it? Eh, in between? Let us know!! So now Katniss is a little on edge with Cato and Clove...yep that's probably the highlight of this....
