I'm clean, waxed, and have a new hair cut. It's quite short but just long enough to braid, which I ask Cinna to do. For now all of us are wearing red jumpers but that is only until we get our uniforms.
"All soldiers please come take a seat in the main room of the training center." Haymitch's voice comes over a small speaker in the corner on Cinna's office.
I take a seat where I was just three hours ago, next to Delly.
"Hi Katniss," says overly excited Delly. "I just loved that Preparation thing. It was so fun. Especially the shower. The soap smelt like roses. It had so many buttons I didn't know what to do. Mine at home has hot and cold water that's it. Luckily my Preparation Team was nice and told me which buttons to push."
Delly, alway trying to find a silver lining, I think to myself
"Soldiers, while you where with your Preparation Teams the Unit leaders and I coordinated the units." Haymitch goes on naming a five digit number and ten names. Five digit number and ten names. I lose count somewhere between 45 and 50 names. The last unit number is 68614 my name is called first, followed by Amanda Plummer, then Peeta Melark. But he stops. Shouldn't there be seven more. What the hell?
"And that last unit will be the Mixed City Unit. That means if any other City's don't have an even 80 or 90 ect. they might be in your unit." Continues Haymitch. "Now we will board a train that will take us all to the Capitol.
~7 Hours Later~
"...and then I had some caviar. I didn't really like to though, it was kind of salty. I loved the chocolate soufflé. It was, well, chocolatey. It was sooo good!" exclaims Delly. She has been talking almost non-stop the almost whole train ride.
It's about 10 at night when we first arrive in the Capitol. Because of the time we are escorted to the Capitols Training Center.
The building is 15 stories tall. One story for each City plus an underground training floor and a whole floor just for food with 7 different dinning halls according to Delly, who said she did some research when she was on the train.
We are told to press the same number as our City's when we enter the elevator. But Peeta, Amanda, and I are told to press 13.
When we arrive there are about 40 people mingling. All in different colored uniforms. There is a different color for each City. I can't help but wonder who is in my unit, other than Peeta of course.
Just then an Official tells is to find the room with our name above and we will stay the night there. I find a door with Katniss Everdeen on it and enter. When I enter I find a bedroom.
The first thing do is strip off my clothes and fall into, for the first time in weeks, a deep slumber.
