The 25th Hunger Games

The Awakening

I wake up to the smell of bacon and eggs. I instantly remember where I am and don't get up. I look around the beautiful luxurious room. The wallpaper has little wave designs. This reminds me of the shoes I wore on the the reaping. It's hard to believe it was yesterday. I feel like it just happened... I shudder at the thought of the reaping. Why did I have to be called? I know lots of people who have actually wanted to be in the games. Ugh, as I get up my head starts to hurt. I must've fallen during the night. I get out of bed and jump right into the shower. Once I get out, I started to look through my drawers for clothes. I noticed they already picked out my clothes. The shirt is black with little white beads across the bottom of it. The pants are just black stretchy sport pants. I pull on the outfit. I just walk downstairs after and grab myself a plate full of bacon and eggs. I decided if I'm here I might as well eat all the food I can. I'm going to want to gain some weight. Once I finish my food I was about to leave with no one noticing but suddenly Jess came in. I heard her walk in as though I weren't alive. I heard her voice behind me, "You realize I'm right here Gwen, Right?" I reply "... How could I forget..." She ignored my comment and said "Training is starting once we get to the Capitol." "D'you know when we'll be there?" I ask "No. Not exactly. I'm not here for questions, you want answers talk to Julietta." I sigh and leave the room. Is there any way I could kill myself before the games? I don't want to even step foot in these games. I have a feeling this Quarter Quell may not be normal... As though, God hated me, John Zrewt stepped right into the room. "Hey there Gwen, what have you been up to?" He smirked at me. I glared at him. I remember John from school. He was one of the popular kids. He was that one guy who could annoy almost anyone... I've tried to stay away from him. Hopefully, I could be the first one to kill this John Zrewt. Just looking at him disgusted me. I reply to him trying to sound just as annoying. "Oh nothing, just getting ready to be sent to my freaking death. John you really need to take this seriously! For all I- we both know, we could be dead in a matter of days! This is a bad game your playing Zrewt..." Okay maybe I overdid myself because he's over there laughing at my reaction. I mean, sometimes I overreact... He talks over my thinking "Oh oops Gwen, I forgot..." He says sarcastically. All we do is glare at each other for a few minutes. Finally, I make the first move and leave the room. I go into my room, I wonder what will happen when we get to the Capitol... I've never really seen it in person. Hopefully, it's as nice as it looks on camera. I sit in bed and read a book my mother gave to me when I was younger. I wait for nightfall to come...
