I lie awake in my bed that night.
I'm torn!
Two boys said that they have a crush on me. But only one of them seems trust worthy and I have a crush on the other one. But that's not the only reason that I can't fall asleep. Tomorrow, the Hunger Games begin.

This is what's making Cato not trust worthy, he's a Career. So am I, but I'm not a Career like him, Clove, Marvel and Glimmer. I stay awake for about an hour and fall asleep quickly.

Prim walks through the forest, alone, looking frightened. A bow and a quiver of arrows are in her hand and a back pack is slung across her back. She's wearing a Tribute outfit and she looks my age.

Cato walks through the bushes, with a sword in his hand.
"Sorry, but I have to," he says.
He slices her neck, she falls to the ground and I hear a cannon.

I wake up screaming.
Cinna walks into my bedroom.
"Are you okay?" he asks.
"Yeah, it was just a nightmare," I say.
"It's time."
"For the Games."
"Yeah."
