~Hunger Games~

Chapter 2

I walked into the big capital train. It was amazing. I've never seen something so beautiful.

We had more food on the train than 6 months worth of food back home. I just wish Prim and Mom could be here.

We have a longer trip to the capital because we are farthest from it.

I was hungry so I sat down to eat something.

Out walked this man who looked drunk and he sat down at the table with Peeta and I.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"That's your mentor, Haymitch. The one who is always drunk." Effie exclaimed.

Peeta and I looked at each other with the •We're in trouble• look.

"So when do we start?" Peeta asked.

"Can't you let me sit and have a drink for a bit?" I could smell his breathe from here.

"Okay I think you've had enough of that!" Peeta stood up and reached for the drink that was in Haymitch's hand and before he could grab it Haymitch's foot was placed on Peetas chest.

"Stop it!" I say.

"Oh come on sweetheart! We're just having a little fun." He says.

I get up and walk straight to my room.

"What's her problem?" Haymitch asks?

"I don't know." Peeta says.

I'm sitting in my room staring at every little detail in the room trying to get Prim and Mom out of my head.

Before I know it I'm asleep dreaming about my forest.

I wake up and it already 8am. I can't believe I slept that long.

I get up and walk out to the dining area and Peeta is sitting with Haymitch already eating. Effie is doing her makeup on the other side of the room.

"Good morning sweetheart!" Haymitch says with a smile.

"I don't need your drunk mess today Haymitch." I tell him.

"He's not drunk." Peeta says.

That morning we had a disagreement. It ended up with a knife in the table.

Peeta made friends with some of the capitals people by waving to them through the window.

I don't know how to make friends. Or make people like me for that matter.

We arrived in the capital around noon.

"You are lucky since your district twelve we get the pent house." Effie says with excitement.

I wonder what she looks like without the wig and makeup on?

"Alright let's go get ready for the tributes dinner. Katniss go take a shower immediately. Peeta you too. I'll send up your stylists when I'm ready so hurry." She commands.

I hope into the shower and its odd. The water is warm? I'm so used to a cold bath once in a while. But this is paradise.

I'm already out and wrapped in a towel when my stylists walk in.

They didn't say much except whisper to each other about how bad I look or how much hair is on my legs.

After they're done about two seconds after they close the door a man walks in with gold eyeliner.

"Hello my name is Cinna!" He says.

"Hi"

"So tonight is the tributes dinner

and-" I cut him off.

"You're here to make me look pretty."

"I'm here to help you make an impression."

He pulls out a velvety red dress that has red ruby on the bottom.

I put it on and I'm not aloud to see until I'm finished.

He put my hair up in a bun with dangly strands of hair hanging down. He then puts some reddish pinkish eye shadow on me and a red diamond on each side of my eye.

I'm finally aloud to see.

I actually look pretty.

"It's beautiful! Thank you!" I give him a nice hug.

"Now lets go!" He says with excitement in his voice.
