Blood Of Panem: The 101st Hunger Games

Chapter 3 - The Parade

It was time for the tribute parade, and I could already see a bunch of tributes talking with one another, The Careers were talking along with the newly made Career District which was 4, I remember it being one of the biggest headlines last year, Their Academy was called, "Doomer Training Academy".

The outfits that we were wearing are.

D1: Royalty
D2: Peacekeepers
D3: Binary Suits
D4: Mermaids and Mermen
D5: Turbines
D6: Pilot Suits
D7: Angel Oak Trees
D8: Purple Suit and Ties
D9: Wheat-Like Suits
D10: Butchers
D11: Farmers
D12: Surgeons
D14: Royal Knights

We got on our carriage and sat down, Rhode looked dazed and fell off his carriage about 3 times, I looked at him and thought, "That boy was going to die in the Bloodbath, no doubt."

Everyone else was more organized and got on their respective carriages, Alissa looked like she was trying to not lash out at Rhode. Stephen was comforting Avis and looked like they were going to be allies in the arena. But then the parade started. Oh, and I must say, Theodosia's design was very accurate to the Angel Oak trees I see on the Capitol TV. 

We received all of the cheers and got thrown a lot of roses, but we were trying to wave at everyone, and of course, smiling, I could see that Laura was getting anxious so I tried to comfort her, by putting my arm over her shoulder, which seemed to comfort her.

3/4 Quarters into the parade I thought I something in the crowd, I focused my eyes, and saw a girl with long wavy chestnut hair and green eyes, No, there was no way, no way she was attending, I thought she would be trying to stay more hidden, or would be in the Academy.

I looked down, with a face full of thought, Laura noticed and asked what was wrong
"N-n-nothing, Laura" I lied
"Cissa" I mutter so softly even I could hear it.

After the parade ended, President Gaul said "May the odds, be in your favor" I rolled my eyes at this, knowing that the odds were never in our favor.

We headed back to our apartment and got changed which took longer for me because I was deep in thought, so when I came back I saw Laura already there reading a copy of "Anderson Fashion", apparently 3 won "Best Dressed" which I also agreed with, the Green Binary Suits complimented their eyes, as for us we were a runner-up for best-dress which pleased Theodosia and Asha, so I told them I was going to call it a night and go to bed.

The bed was much more comfortable than the ones in the lodging house, so I fell asleep quickly.
