The Hunger Games (Peeta's Story)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

My feet rose from the ground then landed on the train's floor. I followed Katniss into one of the rooms then took a seat next to her. I suddenly felt myself jolt forwards out of my seat as the train started to move. My body collapsed back into the chair.

"Don't you find that even going at 200mph you can barely feel a thing?!?!" Effie says, "That's one of the good things about this trip. Because even though your here, and even though its only for a little while, you get to enjoy all this!"

I glance over at Katniss who is staring out of the window, not paying attention to anything Effie was saying.

"I'll go and find Hay Mitch, he's probably in the bar car." Effie mutters under her breath.

She slowly stands out of her chair and then struts towards the door.

"Have you ever met him? Hay Mitch?" I hear myself saying. Katniss ignores me.

"You know, theres nothing wrong with needing a little bit of help!" I continue.

She stares over at me, her eyes thin, burning my insides. She was angry. Very angry.

Fortunately, the door slid open and broke the awkward silence. There stood a drunken man.

'That must be him!' I say to myself.

He enters with an empty glass then walks over to a table filled with wine. The alchohol splashed into the glass and spilled on the carpet as he rapidly threw it back on the table.

He went and sat in the seat which Effie was just elegantly sat in a few minutes before.

"Well, congratulations!" he murmered.

I replied, "So, where do we start? We have a lot..."

He cut me off!

"Woah, woah, woah. What you talkin' about?"

"Your our mentor, you are supposed to give us tips on how to survive and stuff."

"Okay! Embrace the probability of your iminate death and know, deep down, there is nothing I can do to save you!"

He smirks.

Absentmindedly I find my hand reach out to grab his glass.

"Ok, I think thats enough of that."

My body gets pushed back by Hay Mitch's revoulting feet!

"Oh great! You made me spill my drink. On my new pants!"

He pulls his foot away from my chest then stands up and leaves the room. I follow.

"Where you going?" Katniss says to me.

"I'm off to go speak to him!"

"It's no use!"

But before she had time to argue, I had left!
