That little shake to the head feels like the end of all hope to me. I gave up everything for him and he still thinks is no enough. We all sit down, an extra chair has been added for President Snow. As Caesar and Snow talk and ask the audience what they think, I think of what I'm gonna do when I go back to District 12. I plan a plan to run away into the wild. My family will go with me, also Gale and his family. I add Haymitch also, If I can consider him to come with me, and also Peeta and his family. The next night, is the banquet held in President Snow's mansion. As we all go in, the ball room has been decorated entirely. Musicians play in a special stage, tables fill the room for people to eat, a huge dance floor in the middle of the room so people could dance and the whole room is almost filled with tables filled with food. Each table has one special dish. A table is filled with sea food, that come from District 4; another table is filled with all sorts of soups, that may come from 11, 10 or 9. My mouth almost hangs at the sight of the food and drinks. Me and Peeta head for the food, I keep in mind what Hazelle told me before the Victor's Tour, that was to enjoy the foo;, Haymitch for the drinks, Effie goes with some other women, our prep teams go to the dance floor and Cinna and Portia, our stylists, head to talk with some other stylists that have attend the party. Me and Peeta promised each other that will take one bite out of every dish. I happen to notice, while I'm eating, that people have taken my mockingjay into style. Men and women have decorated there bodies with it, or sewed into there clothes and even some women have it design into a necklace or/and ring. After 8 tables were full. We sit down in a table and watch people talk, dance and eat. Peeta's prep team, Violet, Liver and Isaac, walk up to us in confusion.
"Why aren't you guys eating?! There's plenty of food!" asks Liver over the noise.
"We were, but we can't take another bite!" Peeta responds over the noise also. They all start to laugh hysterically and me and Peeta look at each other in confusion.
"What's so funny?!" Peeta asks.
"Well, no one ever lets that stop them!" says Violet.
"Come with us!" yells Isaac over the noise. We follow them as they lead us to a table filled with clear drinks that look like water but something tells me that that isn't water. I never even noticed the table when I walked in. Liver and Isaac gives us a cup and as Peeta is about to drink it, they all panic and stop him from eating it.
"You can't drink that here!" says Violet in panic.
"Then where exactly can I?" Peeta asks.
"You need to do it in there." Isaac says, pointing at the bathrooms as two women go in with the same cups.
"Are you saying this is gonna make me puke?!" Asks Peeta over the noise again.
"Yeah! That way you can keep eating!" says Violet excitedly.
"I've been in there two times already!" says Liver. Peeta stares at them in shock and I disgusted.
"That's...quite disgusting..." I say, trying not to sound so mean.
"Everyone does it." answers Liver.
"Why don't we just dance, Katniss" says Peeta. I nod and he takes both of our cups and puts them back in the table. We walk to the dance floor and Peeta's prep team go off and talk with other people. When we reach the dance floor, slow music starts to play. We twirl around in circles without even knowing. After a few minutes, Portia, Peeta's stylist, appears with a man I never seen before.
"Katniss, Peeta, this Plutarch Heavensbee, the new Head-Gamemaker this year!" says Portia kindly.
"Nice to meet you!" says Peeta, shaking his hand.
