Malaya
"Come on, it's been practically six months!" My friend, Serbia said. I glanced at her and shook my head.
"No, you don't want to know" I responded. "It's different when you are there"
"I'm not going to get nightmares, Mala!" Serbia protested.
"Fine!" I shouted. "It was horrible! People were dropping all around me like flies! I was scared to death the whole time!"
"Buts that is what everyone says!" she said. "I want the inside scoop!"
"That's what happened! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't even get into a fight! I laid low!" I told her. She rolled her eyes.
"Fine see you later" she said and left my bedroom. I sighed, I wouldn't see her later, and I wouldn't see her for two weeks. I had the Hunger Games tour to go on. I was getting picked up in about an hour.
I walked across the hall to my bathroom and turned on the light. I looked at myself in the mirror. In a few hours I would be unreconizgeable. My stylist, Gena, would be putting make up on me and doing my hair. I would be dressed in elegant dresses and expensive shoes. Gah.
I shut the light off mad at this stupid tour and went back to my room. I pulled out my suitcase and started packing. I put in some of my plain shirts and shorts and jeans. Then I packed some boots and tennis shoes. Lastly I tossed in a reader.
I heard a car pull up outside and glanced out my window. It was an expensive Capitol car. I sighed zipping up my suitcase and lugged it downstairs.
I opened the front door just as the driver was about to knock. He then took my bad and opened the door for me. I crawled inside.
I was a five minute ride to the train station where the train was waiting. I took my bag and climbed on the train. I was directed to a room where I set my suitcase down and then left the room to see who was here.
Cole
I was sitting in the common room on the train. There were only 3 of us so far, Wash, Ashlyn and myself. We had just stopped at 6 and I guessed Malaya was getting on.
I was sitting in a window seat and held on as the train lurched forward as it starting at an amazing speed.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone coming into the room from the hall. I almost couldn't believe it was Malaya.
During the games and before she had on a large amount of make-up and pretty and almost perfect hair, now she had no make-up, frizzy hair and an oil-stained t-shirt.
"Hey" she said to everyone and took a seat. No one responded.
LINE
We were at district 7 before I knew it and I guessed that Fabien was getting on the train because we were stopped.
I looked up as he came into the room. Ashlyn jumped out of her seat leaving the book she was reading and ran over to Fabien. They hugged and I glanced back out as the window as the train started again.
LINE
The train was silent except for Ashlyn and Fabien talking quietly. I was still sitting in my window seat, Wash was fiddling with something and Malaya was sleeping.
We would be arriving in District 11 soon, getting Zebra, and then it was a straight shot to District 12 where Sayde would get on.
After that we could arrive in 13 where we would have a dinner and then in the morning we would begin the tour.
I had been staring off into spade so I looked back out the window and. We stopped and I saw trees and fields.
Sure enough a couple minutes later Zebra joined us in the room. She sat down next to me. She was holding something in her hands but I couldn't tell what.
Sayde
I was standing on the platform as the train rolled up. I took my suitcase in my hand and climbed on. I was directed to my room and I sat down my suitcase.
I then left my room and went to the common room. I smiled then went and sat down next to Zebra.
"Hey" I said. Zebra said and I looked at want was in her hand. I noticed it was a necklace.
"That's pretty, what is it?" I asked. Zebra looked down to the necklace.
"Oh, it was my mother's. "She said. "She left it to me in her will. I didn't want to bring it to the game show with me so I left it at the orphanage"
"Probably good that you didn't bring it" I decided and she nodded. "Why don't you wear it?"
Zebra held it up and I got a good look at it. It was a silver chain and charm. The charm was in the shape of a tree and there were diamonds in the tree leaves at the top. That must have costed a fortune. I thought to myself.
I noticed it was all tangly, the chain at the top. "I was going to see it Amie could fix it, since she's my stylist she might be able to."
I nodded, that was a good idea. I glanced up as someone walked over to us. It was Cole.
"Give it to me, I can fix it" He said. I had barley realized he was listening to us. Zebra handed the tree necklace to him. He took it and started to unknot it. "My mother sells jewelry back home. When I was little she made me go to the store with her in the day when my dad had work. I had to watch her fix tangled stuff that people would bring in all the time. Actually most of the time she gave them to me to fix, she said I have delicate hands. "
It was true; his hands were delicate and slim. He had soon untangled the necklace and gave it back to Zebra just as the train stop. We were in District 13.

We had been lead into the town hall and then into a room where there was an elegant dining table set up. There was food all around the room and we were able to grab what we liked. I picked up a plate from the table and loaded it with food. Then I sat down next to Zebra and Cole. The table was set for 10. I wondered who would be joining us.
Zebra Cole and I we sat across from Ashlyn, Fabien and Cole with an empty seat at Cole's side. On my left was Malaya. The seats at the end of the table remained empty. We all glanced at each other and just started eating not knowing if we were meant to wait.
The food was good, like it had been before the games. Since I had been home I had been making food for myself most of the time. Just as I predicted my dad had left again to the Capitol and I was left to fend for myself.
Most of the time I went over to Fanessia's house for dinner but they didn't really have a lot of money so it was mostly beef soup. I always offered them money but they rejected.
After we had finished eating we all went back onto the train where we went to our rooms for the night. Time to prepare for the tour.
