My hands were shaking. Me and tyren were standing in our chariot. Tyren is wearing a silver suit with a black under shirt. His brown hair was slicked back and he looked so un-nervous. He just looked natural. Everyone would love him. I'm very nervous, but I can still make the crowd smile. "Are you ready?" Tyren asks me. "Yeah I say." Then he puts his arm around my shoulder and we start moving along.
Loud cheers and people yelling and gasping. Smiles and excitement fills the crowd. I look at all of the capitol people. Some with pink hair, some with blue. So much makeup, that it looks like someone just painted it all over them. And ridiculous outfits that would make you stare.
I think me and Tyren have the best outfits. District one is wearing a flashy pink color. The girl is wearing a long dress with sparkles and an odd mask that covers her face. The boy has on pink pants and a glitzy top. District 12 is wearing black, since there district is coal mining. The girl has on a tee shirt thats black along with green pants and a black helmet. The boy is basically the same. The resemble coal miners.
Tyren puts his arm around my shoulder and I wave my hand in the air, smiling. Tyren does the same. I don't feel nervous anymore. This is fun. Tyren seems to be enjoying it too. People start waving back at us. Some of them are mouthing words like: Fantastic! Gorgeous! Amazing! I wonder what Parker is saying.
The chariot ride is over and my stylist Kyra, finds me. "That was amazing! You looked gorgeous! The crowd seemed to love you!" She says with a tone of excitement. Then she gives me a hug. "Thank you Kyra, for making me look gorgeous." I say. "You are welcome!" And then we have to go back to our rooms.
I stare out my window and a tear streams down my face. Its unbearable how much I miss my family. Rose and my mom. But thats not all i'm crying about. The thought that keeps playing through my mind is 'What if I dont win?' But I can't let that happen. I won't.
