We had to leave three weeks early from thirteen then they would've liked. The four people, including me, were told to pack a few precious belongings. Sadly, I wasn't aloud to bring Buttercup. I packed only my journal and bracelet. I hugged mom and said our finally goodbyes. Katniss wasn't there, so I didn't even bother.

The four kids made Mrs. Crook's room sound like a zoo. Ivy, her dark hazel eyes glistening as she flipped her French braid over her shoulder.
Rory smiled at me, and rolled his eyes at Ivy. I nodded. Mrs. Crook arrived, and the blonde girl asked her a question.
" Are there more people coming?"
Mrs. Crook nodded.
" People are coming from 8, 11, 10, 5, and us. "
We all nodded.
" Everyone have everything?"
Once we all answered yes, she escorted us to the elevators.
Mrs. Crook pressed a number, an the elevator shuddered a bit, but then went up.
As the elevator door opened, everyone perked our heads to see what was going on.
   There were at least five stations of trains.
" You guys were the last stop." Mrs. Crook said, trying to shout over the trains.
We all made our way to a white sleek train, that I recognized used to be a district train for the Hunger Games.  A man helped us on board, and I asked him where they got the train from.
" Generously donated from District 4," he said, and showed me my room.
He left, and looked inside. There were two small white beds, with grey comforters. On either side, there was a small bathroom and white closet on either side. I put my leather brown bag in the closet, and looked up. I jumped back as I saw a redheaded girl standing across from me.
  " Sorry I scared you." she said, and smiled.
" It's ok.."
" I'm your roommate. It got pretty lonely without anyone here."
I smiled. This girl seemed pretty nice.
  " I'm Lidia from District 5."
" I'm....."
" I know who you are." she said, and started giggling. " Everyone does by now."
" Oh."
I smiled, to let her know I also took it as a joke.
For about two hours, we talked. The conversation was a bit weird at first, but then we made it up into a game. So far I found out her mom was a ballerina, but died of the pox epidemic, and her aunt took care of her after. Her favorite color was yellow, and she loved mac and cheese.
" Ok, how about relatives?" I asked.
Her face went from a warm smile to a dark frown.
" Oh," she said, looking down at the floor.
" My cousin was Finch."
My eyes widened. The aunt that took care of her was Foxface's mother. Now I see it between them. They both at red hair, but Lidia's was a more soft color. She had her hair into two French braids that made a two buns at the back of her head. They both had extremely pale skin. There eyes differed a bit though.
Lidia had aqua blue eyes while Finch had those piercing blue eyes. Suddenly, I see a tear tickle down from Lidia's aqua eyes.
" She.... She knew she couldn't win. Finch was scared of Cato, she heard him nearby."
Lidia pauses to sniff. " Then she just took those berries and..."
I looked at her sincerely. Everyone underestimated Foxface, even my sister. Maybe she was the deadliest of them all, and maybe she just outfoxed her chances.

Lidia recovers herself and rubs her eyes.
" Well, I think you know everything about me now."
I nod, but the smirk a little.
" This is going to sound odd, but are you allergic to anything ? " I look down adding,
" I'm not."
She smirks a bit too.
" Yeah I'm actually allergic to something. Severely."
My smile falls.

" What? " I ask.


" Blueberries."
