5:30-Dinner
Oh God! It's just like high school. I have no idea where to sit. This is how Madge and I met. On the first day of our freshman year we both sat at the table by corner. Across from each other, not bothering to make conversation. Then a week later I sat there and only one chair was left. Right next to me. Not wanting to be rude she sat down an didn't move the chair. You can guess the rest.
I would have sat by Gale but he is more popular then me, and sits with a large group of people. He was on the football team. They encourage football because some think it helps prepare us for war. I don't see how it does.
I find a table near the back of the room with what looks to be most of my unit. I sit. "Johanna Mason, District 7. You?" She gestures to me with her fork. "Katniss Everdeen, District 12." "Cool, well this is Homes Gunn, District 11. Mitchell Jacobs, District 11. Beetee Wright, District 3 and Alan Ritchson, District 9." "Nice meet you," I mutter.
I eat as quickly as possible and try to avoid conversation. After my third helping if this one dish-it is rice with meat, dried plumbs and a sauce over it-Johanna talks to me directly. "Man, you District 12 people really are starved. That's lamb stew by the way." I would reply to her but she gets up to leave. I do to, but we go opposite directions and that's when I see him. The thought of him here makes me want to vomit. He broke my promise. How could he?
Gale!
