The first thing I noticed was the speed, it was unlike anything I'd ever experienced and a tiny part of me felt a shrill of joy as we zoomed towards the capital. This was all forgotten though in an instance as district twelve grew smaller and smaller and the hope that it was all a dream turned into nothing. The train was even more luxurious than the Justice building, we even had are own room for the short journey and more than anything I wanted to curl in a ball and fall asleep in the plush bed and never wake up. I was just about to do so when Effie walked passed me shouting "dinner" in her strange capital accent.

There was more food than I'd ever seen in my life on that table, it could feed half of district twelve for weeks, even Katniss seemed taken aback. In a dase we sat down and filled our plates with mountains of food, earning looks of distaste from Effie. It was amazing, so amazing that after my third course I started to feel a bit sick. I hadn't had a full stomach a day in my life, but I decided to have a break, just then a drunken Haymitch ,who had been missing since we got on the traing, stumbled in, mumbled somthing incoherent and threw up all over the floor.

Effie clearly didn't like this and shreaked before menourvering her way out of the room in her 6 inch high heels. Me and katniss shared a look of disgust before before I went to get some help from someone in the train, eventually I found a redheaded avox , feeling bad about what I was about to ask her to do, I'd always been squeamish though. I led her back to the room and when katniss glanced up I saw a look of what could have even been recognition on her face, she wasn't looking at me though, but the avox. Confused, I nodded awkwardly and ran out the room.

Now I was back in my bed all I wated to do was cry, but couldn't, not yet, the live recap of the reaping would be on soon, and I wanted to see my competition, not that I had a chance.

I walked back into the lounge to see Katniss, Effie and even Haymitch sitting on the sofa, on the screen the famous Ceaser Flickerman sat, talking in his usual jolly voice. I was just in time to see district ones tribute being reaped. Noone really stuck out to apart from district 2 ( a very exited looking volenteer called cato) and district six ( a young slightly flushed looking boy called chuck ). Well noone stuck out untill district 7.

" And the male tribute of district 7 is Thomas Edison," a brownhaired boy, slightly shorter that me and around 17 walked up to the stage. He had a slightly dumbfounded looking face and the moment I saw him something inside me sturred....
