"Welcome! My name is Davius Sterlock, and I am honored to be with you today." I almost let out a small chuckle from the sound of his name, but I best kept my mouth shut. I glance over at Mitch, and see him looking down at the floor, paying no attention to Davius or clearly, anything else around him. I felt like walking over to him and have the courage to at least say, 'hi', but I didn't, because I didn't even know him.

When I stepped into the train, I saw the beautiful room. It had fancy utensils and tea cups and plates and tea pots, but why would you have all of this? I didn't own it, since I was never clearly fond of 'tea', I never liked the taste. Everything looked so expensive too, even though I was district 2, I don't think my family would afford all of these things. Mitch also seemed surprised by the decor.

That's when I saw Mitch sit down a couch, and got the remote. I could only assume he was curious in watching the other district's reapings, so I sat beside him, curious as well. Before he had time to turn the television on, I ask, "Why? Why did you volunteer?"

He looks at me for the second time the whole day, his eyes looking sternly at mine, "Because, it would be a shame to see two siblings murder each other."

I had the sudden urge to hug him, to tightly grasp him in my arms and repeat my words of gratitude which were floating around in my mind as we spoke, but I kept quiet and looked at the television's screen.

When Mitch turned on the television, it showed District 1's reaping. The girl's name was Maria, and she had hazel eyes, and dirty blonde hair that goes to her chest and she looked really menacing. The boy had brown hair, green eyes, with muscular shoulders, and looked like he could kill you in a second.

And next was our reaping, it showed my brother and I face to face, and Mitch volunteering, and my brother being pulled by a friend of mine, and when we shook hands, I could see myself blushing, and I slowly look at the floorboard, hoping that Mitch could not catch my blushing. Mitch looked at me, "Why were you blushing?"

"I wasn't, I just got a sunburn." I answer sarcastically. He laughed, which sent goosebumps down my arms. Clearly, I have never heard him laugh before.

District 3, don't even get me started, they were in bad shape, like they are most of the time. The girl was so skinny, and she had blonde hair with amber eyes. And the boy wasn't even close to muscular, he had light blonde hair, with green eyes.

District 4's girl was kinda short, she stood at what looked like 5'4, her name was Leah, and she was really young, she was 13 years old. She has dark blue eyes, and has light blonde long hair with brown highlights. The boy's name was Jett, he had jet black hair that covered half of his dark grey eyes. He looked nice, he wasn't muscular, but there was something about him that made me think he was nice, but I don't know what.

District 5's girl had short black hair and black eyes, while the boy was attractive, he had blue eyes and messy brown hair, and his name was Jason. I could feel Mitch's sudden glance at me, I think it was to see how I reacted, because clearly others might have reacted, but I just tried to keep my cool.

District 6's girl had dark aubrey hair and blue eyes, and the boy had long dark brown hair, with dark brown eyes, who's name is Ty.

It went on and on, until I saw a 12 year old named Rachel, she has dark brown hair that went below her shoulders, and she had saphire blue eyes.I felt bad for her, I felt disappointed for the people who didn't even volunteer, but who am I kidding? Everyone cares about their own lives, and they don't give a damn about everybody else around them. I could see Mitch looking at me again, but I kept looking at the screen until it turned black.

That's when it all ended, and I got the remote and turned it off. Suddenly, Mitch asks, "You felt bad for the little girl Rachel, didn't you?"

"Yeah, it would have been a shame if my brother Finn came, I hate to admit it, but I don't think he would have made it." I answer, disappointed in myself. I couldn't believe it, I was talking about my brother in a bad way as if I were talking about the weather with a neighbor.

Before Mitch could say anything, we heared someone come in, we turned around to see a tall woman with jet black hair and hazel eyes staring at us, "You are the ones that got picked? You two look like you're easy to kill." I clench my fists tightly and glare at her. As if I ever wanted to enter the Hunger Games, I wouldn't do it, not even if I were the strongest woman in the world. "Anyway, my name is Astrea Haloen, and I'm going to be your mentor." She sighs, grimly looking at her manicured, sharp fingernails.

"Anyway, you two should eat-"

"But I'm not hungry." I say trying to annoy her.

"You have to."

"Well I don't want to." I say grinning.

"Well then, both of you won't have lunch then!" She snaps in an annoyed way, and she walks away.

Now this will be fun.
