The Hunger Games: Peeta's Perspective

Chapter 2

I was hurried into a big white room that had nothing in it other than a small coffee table, two small chairs and one large sofa. The fabric was so soft unlike anything I had felt before. Suddenly the door open slowly and then my mother and father came running in. They were weeping at my feet begging me not to go.  There desperation moved me to tears and soon I found myself weeping with them.

I hate the capitol.  That's what I thought to myself while I sat with my friends and family and said possibly my last goodbyes. If this is how I feel how is Katniss coping? How will her sister and mother get food now? Will her mother be unreachable because she will be so depressed?

The last person to come in was Gale. Why is he here? We sat in silence for while until I blurted out "you have to promise me you will feed Primrose and her mother. " Gale was startled by this and replied "I made that promise the day I met Katnip. "

After Gale left the peacekeepers came and took me and Katniss to the train station. I've never been on a train before. Is I looked at the crowd from the window of the carrage I smiled. Once the crowd was out of site I turned around and saw the expression on Katniss' face, at that moment I knew I shouldnt have done that,  it made me look weak.

The carrage door opened and in came Effie."would you care to join us for dinner? " she asked. Katniss and I exchanged gleeful looks and politely follow Effie to the dining carrage. As soon as I saw the vast amounts of food on the table my mouth was watering like crazy. Before I could regain my thoughts I was taking a huge bite from a bred roll and forced it down my thoughts. Effie looked at me and Katniss in disgust as we wolfed down all the food and forgetting table manners.

Then the pudding came. Well believe you me I have never seen so many different puddings in one room let alone district 12. I grabbed a huge slice of cake and devoured it in under 30 see seconds. I wish I hadn't eaten so quickly not long after because my stomach started twisting and turning inside me like someone was turning a screw. Our mentor Hamitch was so drunk he vomited most of it back up about 10 minutes later, this made Effie run to her room because she was too disgusted leaving me and Katniss to clean it up. "you look tired you should get some sleep, I'll clean up Hamitch. "
"are you sure?" she replied
"yes absolutely positive, now go to bed. "

I lifted up Hamitch and shoved him in the bath still fully clothed, I didn't want to see him naked. He was coughing and spluttering so I quickly left just before I heard him throwing up again and made my way to my carrage.

Soon I will be in the capitol.
