The picture is the floors of the hotel thing they are staying in. The darker lines separate things. 3 and 4 share a floor, for a reason I will share later. Also if it doesn't load any one who has PicCollage I'm going to post it on there. My account is the same as on WattPad

   It takes over two hours to get to the capitol and the whole entire time Eleanor was nonstop talking. I didn't even listen to half of it. Just stuff about how we are going to be honored within our districts. As soon as the train stops, all of us get up. As soon as I step out of the train, all I hear is screaming. I mean, yes I was in a few movies, but I didn't think they were that popular. "OMG! Alex can I have an autograph?" A teenage boy asks me. I think for a moment. On the way here Eleanor said to make a lot of friends in the crowd. More friends= more donations! "I'll give you something even better them an autograph." I say. I grab his face and kiss him, on the lips. Hey, I know I'm only 13 years old, but I'm making friends. I pull away and walk away from him. I hear him crying, it's hilarious. I soon see a little girl getting pushed by older girls. "Hey!" I yell at them. "Let that little girl through." They do as there are told and let her through. "Hi, Alex! My name is Sabrina. I'm a really big fan of your first movie." She is so cute, she looks like she's at least 6. "Awe, thank you." I hug her and sign her arm. She runs away and I take selfies with the girls who pushed her away. I finally leave them and I she Justin. He's singing autographs and giving hugs to little children. I turn away from him and keep signing autographs. When we finally get through the red carpet, we continue along towards an elevator. We get in and we stand in silence. Eleanor left us. She told us to go to floor 12. "Hey, Alex. Who was that little girl you were talking to?" Justin asks breaking the silence. "Her name was Sabrina and she really liked the frist movie I was in." I say. He nods and it's back to the silence. I hear a beep and the elevator door opens. We haven't reached level 12 yet. A beautiful, tall girl walks into the elevator with six bags. She clicks the button for level one. She must be from District One! She's probably been on Broadway like 100 times! I look down at her bags. They say Forever 21, Aeropostle, Victoria's Secret, and American Eagle. Is there like a mall here? Justin won't stop looking at her. She has red hair and blue eyes. I hear another beep and it says Floor Twelve. I get off first and them Justin does too. We walk into a enormous pent house. It's gorgeous. "Alex, do you think we're living here?" Justin asks. Is he that stupid? "I think so." I answer back. "Hello! I'm Stacy!" A very high and energetic voice comes out of a door. "I'm your maid. Is there anything I can do for you?" Stacy asks us. "Umm, I would like to know where my room is and do you have Hot Ham and Cheese sandwiches?" I ask.
" Your room is up the stairs, take a left and its the first one. Yes, we do have Hot Ham and Cheese sandwiches. I'll go make it." I nod and walk up the stairs and take a left. I see my room, there's a sign that says Alex S. I open the door and look in. It's a very plain, but stylish room. I have a black bed with black pillows and a black with gray polka dots comforter. What is it with them and black? There is also a mini fridge, that's gray. There is a black leather couch with a white coffee table and a flat screen TV. This is so awesome. Five minutes later, I hear a knock on my door. "Miss, I have your sandwich and some water for you. O quickly walk to the door and open it. She hands me my sandwich and water. "Thanks Stacy."
"No problem, it's my job. Eleanor would like you to come downstairs when you finish eating." She replies.
"Ok." I answer back. She leaves and I eat my sandwich. Its so good! I finish eating so I go downstairs. " Finally! Alex we have to go over the rules and the floors of this dump." Justin and I gasp.
"Umm, I'm sorry Eleanor, but how do you think this a dump?"
"Trust me, there's better." We gasp again. "Anyways, rules or hotel first?" She asks us. "Hotel!" I say. "Ok, the lobby is the 6th floor, and districts 1-5 are underground. District One is the first floor, 2 is the second floor, 3 and 4 share a level which is floor 3 and then five has level 4." She stops." Umm, why do 3 and 4 share a floor?" Justin asks. "It's classified." Eleanor says. "So the lobby is on the 6th floor. Then District 6 is on the 7th floor, District 7 on the 8th floor. The. There's the Dining Room/ Restaurant. I think you know what that is. That's on the 9th floor. District Eight is on the 10th floor. Them on floor 11 is the Mall." She stops again. I knew there was a mall, I'm going shopping tomorrow. "You have one day to go shopping and the rest of today. District Nine has the 12th floor, Ten has the 13th floor, 11 has the 14th floor. We have the 15th floor and then there's a patio on the 16th floor." She finally finishes telling us about the floors so now we go on to the rules. "The rules I'm explaining are the rules of this hotel, not the games. 1. No meeting the tributes until the tribute dinner. 2. Dinner at the restaurant is free, just don't go there every day. 3. All tributes must go to the mall tomorrow for your profile pictures and then shopping. 3. Tributes must where the standard black sweatshirt with gray T-Shirt everyday. Those are all the rules. There's not that many so, feel free to do what ever you want." She leaves and I start to get up until Justin stops me. "Do you want to go shopping?"
"No, I'm going to the patio." I leave before he can ask me more questions. When I get to the patio, I look over the edge, The Capitol looks so small from up here. I look farther beyond the Capitol, into the woods. I know I can't see my district from here, but just thinking about it gives me hope. I start singing softly

Eat my dinner in the bathtub
Then I go sex clubs
Watching freaky getting it on
It doesn't make me nervous
Anything I'm restless
Yeah, I've been around I've seen it all
I get home I got the munchies
Eating all my twinkies
Throw up in the tub
Then I go to sleep
And I drank up all money
Tasting kinda lonely

Your  gone and I gotta stay
High
All the time
To keep you off my mind
Oooo oooo
High
All the time
To keep you off my mind
Oooo oooo

"That's really pretty singing." I turn around and see Justin standing against the wall, smirking. "You should take that as a compliment."
"How long have you been there?"
"Since you started singing. You shouldn't tell people where your going, they might stalk you."
"For example, you!" I get up and storm past him while I'm glaring at him and go to my room and lock the door. I run to the bed and scream into my pillow. Once I finish screaming I take a shower and go to sleep. So far,I'm not having fun in the Capitol.
