You might not get Rue competing in gymnastics but it's because she leaps from tree to tree -
This is the worst part of the Olympics. The Chariot ride, when you get put with your housemate who's from your country and a different gender. Where you get dressed up in costumes, though I have to admit it's not as bad as the interviews. My thoughts are interupted as Cladius Templesmith, the announcer for this years olympics starts talking.
"Welcome our tributes for the London 2012 Olympics." He announces. Only a few athletes stick in my head. Glimmer the Archer from District One, My competition. Marvel From District 1 who competes in Javelin, Cato a tough looking boy who hails from District 2 and is competing in Fencing, Clove, a small freckled girl, also from District 2 who is a shooting queen. Thresh From District 11 and is taking on Cato in Fencing. Then theres me Katniss Everdeen the Famous Archer. But the person who I find very intresting is Peeta Mellark from District 12. A WWE Wrestler who only got into the Olympics for Boxing because that's his other sport.
Once we get to the Traning Centre and the Athletes home for the next few days, The President of The Olympics, President Snow makes a speech. "We mark this year in the history books. Some of us will win medals, some of us won't be so lucky. But good luck Tributes!" He pauses. The crowd roars. "This is our new Head Gamemaker this year. Seneca Crane!" That's when he finishes. The tributes enter the Training Centre. Once inside a girl comes up to me. She doesn't look that old. "I'm rue. I compete in Gymnastics and I think you are amazing. You never miss."She says shyly. "Thanks."I reply and smile at her she walks away while waving. "Bye Katniss."
I decide to walk up the stairs to floor twelve and get some exercise and I crash in to no-one other than Peeta Mellark. " Oh my god I am so sorry." I stammer. "No I am, I wasn't watching where I was going." He gives me a smile. Wow for a WWE Wrestler he doesn't seem that scary. We stare into each others eyes for a minute and suddenly he says "Well Katniss I have enjoyed talking to you but i'll be late for my appointment. But why don't you meet me on the roof in a hour?"
"I'd love to."I answer.
"Bye!" We chorus and laugh. I walk away waving.
This is not good. I don't know what to wear for mine and Peeta's "Get together", I need air I'll go to the roof. "Hello Fire Girl."Says a tough voice.
" Hello Clove. Where did that nickname come from?"I ask.
"Nowhere. Just a gift from me to you."She smiles.
"What do you want?" I sigh.
"I just thought we'd be friends seeing as you compete in Archery, I compete in shooting and we both never miss."She laughs. I just walk away, leaving her alone on the roof.
*1 hour later*
It is now 3 O' clock. Time to meet Peeta. I skip up the stairs to the roof and find Peeta sitting there with a picnic set out. "Wow." I gawp.
"Hey, come and sit down."He gestures to the picnic blanket.
After 10 minutes we start getting to know each other better. We play 20 questions.
"My favourite colour is orange not like Effies hair, like the sunset. I double-tie my shoelaces and I sleep with the windows open."Peeta answers all my questions.
"My favourite colour is green. It's geting late we better get back."I inform him.
We walk back to floor 12 and go to our rooms. I give Peeta a kiss on the cheek and he blushes.
*3 Hours Later*
I can't sleep, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty and I'm scared, scared of all the nightmares. I decide to solve my hunger and thirst problem, so I creep out of my room and into the Floor 12 Kitchen. Since it's 3:00 am it's very dark out so I bump into someone. She turns on her flashlight. It's Mayilsee Donner who competes in Shooting alongside Clove and is also the same age as the District 12 mentor Haymitch.
"Sorry, do you want a drink?" I ask "No it's my fault but could I please have some water?"Mayilsee replys.
"Sure!"I exclaim.
I walk to the cupboard and grab two cups. Then walk over to the tap and turn it on.
While watching the water trickle down slowly, the sound of my favourite song sounds like the water dripping down.
"I remember tears streaming down your face,
when I said I'd never let you go.
All the shadows almost killed your light.
I remember you said don't leave me here alone.
All that's said is gone and passed tonight."I sing softley, and walk to give the glass to Mayilsee.
"Just close your eyes,
the sun is going down.
You'll be alright,
No-one can hurt you now,
Come morning light.
You and I'll be safe and sound." Mayilsee joins in the singing.
"Thanks for the water, goodnight."She says. We both smile at each other.
So that was the first chapter, the others will be way longer. More characters will be introduced. Enjoy and review!
