The Hunger Games {Hiccstrid} {Completed}

Chapter 11

...A couple of hours later...

Astrid

"Astrid, is everything okay?" Effie said, while I am eating something from the buffet and I just look at her like it's nothing. "Yeah, I am alright." I lied. Nothing is okay. I literally bumped into a district 4 boy who practically called my district dirty and disgusting. True fact, it is dirty and disgusting, but our district has a lot more variety compared to the other districts. We learn how to hunt, we clean, cook and everything else, compared to district 1 to 4 who have their own chefs, they are too lazy except when they learn combat for The Hunger Games. We all have a good chance at winning though.

From district 10 to 12, all of us have to scavenge for food, go hunting and even do the chores. It shows that being in a high district it would be harder to hunt except if they did it themselves. District 5 to 9 are pretty even with us and the higher districts, but some things that they know that not even us people know about. They can be very stealthy but they can be lazy, from what my mother told me, this year is going to be a tough game.

"Alright, I was just worried because you looked like you were thinking very hard." Effie said, then walked away heading back to Matthew and Haymitch. I really have had enough. I have had enough of everyone treating me like I am a just a sack of flour that you throw everywhere, I want to show that I am more than that. So I guess tonight I will have to show myself off to get sponsors and at least get some respect for our district. "Hey Astrid, we have to go and get ready for the parade." Matthew says while peeking his head through the door.

"I will be right down..." I mumbled and he walks out of the room and I started to grab a couple of small things to take with me so I am entertained with myself as they put me in something disgusting or at least desirable to wear. "Hurry up!" Effie yells and I come down from the room, looking at her with an annoyed look.

"I am coming, I just had to do something!" I said while walking down the stairs and I go past the three of them heading towards the elevator. "Alright then, sorry." Effie said, following me to the elevator and I push the button to make the elevator doors open. "So, where are we going anyway?" I ask and she smiles.

"We are going over to ground floor where we are going to take you two to your stylists."

"Alright then, so when we meet them, will they measure us up for costumes and things and do their 'Work'?" Matthew asked and Effie gives him an eye roll. "Yeah of course they would do that." I said and they all look at me in shock.

"Yeah deal with it." I said pretty annoyed and I cross my arms like a five-year-old.

"Let's just go and meet the stylists, because I really have had enough of today." Haymitch says. For once I agree with the bastard, he really can annoy people very easily, but some of the words that come out of his mouth are needed on the subject or they are smart enough for all of us to agree. I guess he isn't such an idiot after all.

"Haymitch."

"Yes Astrid?"

"Could you teach me a couple of things with survival tomorrow? Because I really want to do training by myself." I said and he nods in approval. "Of course you can, but when you're in the training arena, make sure you keep your skills to yourself, except on the exam." Haymitch said and Matthew gives him a couple of nods.

"Alright, but can you help me with surviving tips tomorrow in the arena, Astrid?" Matthew asked me as the elevator doors open. "Yeah, I can."

"Good, because I really need some tips." He said smiling while we walk out of the elevator. The thing is, I actually don't want to give anyone tips, but since he is a newbie, I will give him a one shot on this one. As the four of us walk over to where all the competitors were, I had started to get really nervous. The boy from district 4 is completely scary. I mean come on! You should see how big his muscles are! His glossy hair, his body shape is perfect for him and just everything else is perfect, besides his attitude.

"Hello again, 12..." The boy says while giving me one of his death glares but I just ignore it. "What was that?" Effie whispered into my ear and I look to her.

"I accidentally bumped into him earlier today and he snapped at me." I said and she then looks back to him to see his deadly glare. "He really is something; I can tell you that."

"Yeah, definitely."
