Chapter 2 the Capitol

I look around to concerned faces.

I stumble out of the crowd and walk up to the stage.

I try to hold in my tears for mothers sake.

I look as the boy tribute is called.

There is silence. then his name was called.

"Harry styles"

I haven't heard of him before I look as a tall boy about 16 walks up to the stage he to looks nervous, but not as nervous as me.

He gives me a small smile and I manage a small one back without blushing.

Wow! Oh my he is so handsome !

I never really fancied people.

I live in a day dream well until now.

He has brown locks of curly hair and ..

Oh! dimples! I just love dimples!

I almost forget where I am, but I get escorted to a small dusty room.

I wait for my mum to come in, crying properly.

The door opens and my mum stumbles in and wraps her arms around me.

"Oh summer" she sobs "what are we going to do"

"I will be fine" I lie

"Promise me you will win" she manages to say before crying again.

"I can't promise something like that I joke.

She chuckles and wipes away her tears.

Before I can say anything else she is asked to leave.

"I love you" she cries

"I love you" to I say and feel the tears trickle down my cheeks.

No one else comes in the room I am in there waiting for someone to tell me what to do next but no one comes. I think about what is actually happening.

I sigh I don't really have a chance I'm district 9 and I will be against all the careers in district 1 and 2 I really don't have a chance.

Then finally someone enters and it's time to go in the train.

I don't want to go on about the train journey because it wasn't really interesting few tears here awkward comment there...

I snapped back into reality for when we had to show the Capitol are talent.

I don't Really believe I have one but in training I found that I was quite good at knife throwing.

I can't really imagine killing someone it just dont seem right.

I sit down and watch to see all the people I will be in the arena with.

From district 1 there was a girl called Kerris she about 17 she looked strong.

The number 10 comes up on her screen 10 out of 12 "wow" I whisper to myself. the boy from district one is called Charlie and he got a 10 as well.

Next up district 2, a tall girl called Sonia is on the screen with a score of 10.

"Wow this isn't going to be an easy game" I turn and see Harry smiling at me.

I laugh "I never expected it to" I laugh.

We both giggle and chat as we watch the other careers, gabe the male from district two gets a 9. Next up district 3 Kim who got a 9 and ramesh got a 10. District 4 keely who got a 9 and lawrance who got a 8. district 5 Aimee who got 7 and Niall who got 9. district 6 Niamh who got 8 and zayn got 9. District 7 Ellie who got 9 and laim who got 10. District 8 lily who got 7 and Louis who got 9. Then district 9 Harry squeezed my hand as I came up on screen "summer gurlin a score of 9"

"Wow" I gasped I was so shocked I was expecting something like a two

"Well done" Harry says as he hugs me. why is he being so nice I question my self. next up was Harry he got a 10 which didn't shock me. "Well done" I smile and return a hug. The two from district 11 Michaela and Conor Both score a 8 then finally district 12 Lucy and Daniel Lucy gets a 6 and Daniel got a 7.

I get up and say good night to Harry and walk up to my room.

Then it hit me tomorrow I am going to the arena to fight for my life before I know it tears run down my face.

"Summer" I hear Harry's deap voice call me. I try to wipe away my tears but I no I will be all red and watery. I open my door and show him in. "are you ok" his warm voice calms me. "to be honest no"i sniffle "I'm scared"i cry and he brings me in for a hug. "its ok" he whispers in my ear. "I promise I won't let anyone hurt you" i listen to what he just said I thought It was Everyman for his self ? I guess not.

I start to feel tired and at last I can't keep my eyes open and fall asleep in Harry's arms. I wake up in my bed in my room. I questioned last night but i don't have much time as I am rushed around. I get dressed do my hair have hair lunch etc. i don't see Harry and it upsets me I would of like to saw him before I got into the Arena. but before I know it I am standing in the tube that will lead me to the arena I hold my breath as the tube moves up and light shines in my eyes.
