It's me, she called me. I never felt what true fear felt until now but I try not to show it. I can't make a fool out of myself in my district. I know how to use an axe I have my skills, I can win this. The only problem is the careers. I walk up the podium and Celes askes my name

" Johanna Mason " I say in fear

Why did I say it like that! What was I thinking! I'm supposed to be confident not weak and timid! Come on Johanna

" And now for the boys " says Celes

I notice my brother in fear in the crowd he  not going to get picked he isn't its hard first year nothing will happen to him.

" Oak Ridgein "

I'm reviled knowing Johns safe, see I told him he should worry. Oak will die in a second in these games he's the biggest idiot in District 7, he lost his finger while playing with a axe, blindfolded. I don't care if he asks me to be allies, I'm no ones I'm a lone wolf.

Oak comes walking up on the stage smiling. Oak this isn't an ' all you can eat buffet, this is the hunger games ' . He'll learn eventually

Before walking off stage Celes congratulates us. I have no clue why she's congratulating us, pretty much just saying thanks you get prepared to die in a television show that shows kids die for the Bloody Capitol amusement.

We walk of stage and Oak is waving to the crowd this kid has a mind of a 2 year old, I just keep my head down and silent. I have a plan for these games.

We go to the waiting room to say goodbye to our loved ones

My brother, dad and mom come in all hugging me at once. John is in tears.

" John your fine I'll be back I always am just like that time I snuck out into the woods for 2 days and you all though I was dead but was I? I think not. "

The peacekeepers come in like their pants are on fire. IF YOU WERE IN A STUPID TELEVISION SHOW PREPARING TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH WOULDNT YOU WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FAMILY??
I quickly watch them take my family, my very last glimpse is of my dad giving me a thumbs up. My dad isn't only my dad he's my best friend. We know eachother so well we finish each other's sentences even when I'm swearing at trees.

Peacekeepers grab me and bring me to the train along with Oak.

If a train from the Capitol can look better than any place in my district, then they can give some money to us

The train starts moving in rapid speed as I get the last glimpse of my home district 7 before my eyes
