Chapter 3 ~ The Capitol

We go into the building and we go into a glass elevator. I can tell this building is large because it has a lot of buttons that lead to floors. Quinn presses the floor number 5. The elevator starts rising up. When the elevator stops, we get off and go to a room. I'm not sure what amazes me about this door... I guess it's just so pretty. We go inside and well, it's more than a room. More like a house. Almost everything in this room is glass, except for a few things that are white. It's gorgeous. For some reason I blurt out "Wow, is this room based off of District 5?" Quinn looks at me. "Yes... How did you know?" She asks. " District 5's main colors are White and Glass, and this room's theme is glass." I say. Quinn nods slowly. "It's dinner time!" She's says.

We go to the long table. It's filled with a bunch of food. Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Cake, anything. All this food makes me even hungrier than what I am. I sit down and start eating. I'm not a pig when I eat. I like to be clean. "So Finch, tells us about your family and what your hobbies are. And your skills." Says Joseph. Why me first? Why not Dean? He's more hyperactive, speaking that I think he is playing with his food. "My mother is deceased and I have a father, a little sister and a brother. I enjoy going to the library on my free time. My skills... I use my...um...brain..." I say. Joseph starts laughing and Dean laughs too. "What's wrong with her brain being a weapon? She's smart and probably smarter than the rest of the tributes!" Says Quinn. The way she's says that makes me feel happy. "Yeah, but she was no actual weapon to fight with!" Says Joseph. "My stealth..." I say quietly. "What?" Says Joseph. I don't reply. I continue eating because I'm hungry.

I finish eating. It's one of the best meals I have had for awhile. That's the only good thing about the games, I get have good meals and live in luxury. Quinn shows me where I will be sleeping. It's white and glittery. It's beautiful. I change my clothes and lay down. There is a huge window looking out over the Capitol and it's gorgeous at night. All lit up...

What really bothers me about the Capitol is how nobody cares about children dying. They think it's the best thing ever. And when a new victor comes, they go wild.

Dean walks past my room, but backs up and look through the glass doors. "You look like a fox!" He says. "My nickname is FoxFace." I say. He shakes his head. "FoxFace... I like that name. I'm going to call you FoxFace."
