"Gale Hawthorne!"

The voice of Effie snapped me out of my thoughts and I watched as Gale made his way through the crowd.

"Let`s give it up for our tributes of district 12, Gale Hawthorne and Katniss Everdeen!"

Gale was now standing next to me observing the whole crowd. I glanced at him and forced myself a smile to the whole crowd. Nobody clapped instead they are silent and give us the three fingered salute of the district. "Congratulations and may the odds be even in your favor," Effie says.

Before we left district 12 I spoke to my mother and Prim. I told her to take very good care of Prim, that I won`t be there for her anymore and that there's no me now. I also say goodbye to my family and friends and tell them to wish me luck.

But now I'm on my way to the Capitol in a train with Gale sitting next to me. "I`ve never been on a train before. It's my first time on one," I say looking out the window.

"Me too,"Gale replies. "We should have done it you know? "

"Gale. We wouldn`t have made it 5 miles. You know they`d catch us, "I say with a sigh.

"It was still worth trying Catnip,"Gale says.

"Gale. We can`t run away from our problems. We need to learn how to face them,"I say not making any eye contact with him.

He nods, "Understandable"

For the rest of the ride we talk a little but not a lot. Mostly about how we`re gonna miss our families and friends, but that`s it. I wasn`t really in the mood for talking that much.

When we finally get to the Capitol the districts are isolated from each other to prevent an additional rebellion. Then we meet our support team which is, Haymitch, a former hunger games winner of district 12 who was at the reaping and was drunk, Effie, our wrangler and finally, Cinna and Portia our stylists.

Me and Gale are taken separately to the remake center to get ``fixed``.But I just think it`s just to make us look pretty.

I am naked, without any clothes and Cinna walks in studying me. He's making circles around me and observing my body. He nods, "Hello Katniss.I`m Cinna if you forgot. "I nod at him,"Yeah, I know. You're just here to make me look pretty"

"No. I'm here to help you make an impression,"he replies. We start talking about how it`s important to always make a first impression and how he`s here to help me. When we finally finish talking he leaves and it`s time for my makeover. First they wax my legs, which hurt a lot, then I'm scrubbed clean and they do my nails. Finally, my last remaining hairs are plucked clean and I`m done. But when I look in the mirror I don`t look like myself or even feel like myself. The only thing they left the same was my braided hair and that`s it. I wondered why.

Cinna walks in and compliments me on how beautiful I look and looks impressed.

"You must be hungry,let`s go eat,"Cinna says walking out the door. I follow him, "I don`t look the same Cinna "

"Katniss,this is the hunger games people are gonna care a lot about how you look and your appearance. Besides, you need to show you inner beauty too. "

I nod. "I'm only doing this for my family to stay alive. "

"That`s good because I hope you`re not afraid of fire. "

Please Kindly Review and I know it`s short but I hope you enjoyed ( :
