"This is going to be great!" I announced excitedly, stepping carefully off of the hovercraft. The ride had been smooth, as usual, and now we had finally arrived at the arena. We were one of the first groups to go and see the arena of the 74th Hunger Games. A whole week we had here! I couldn't wait to get started!

"We're here?" My younger brother, Glow, stepped through the sliding doors of the craft, his eyes blinking in the midday sun. His recently dyed hair reflected the sunlight perfectly, I told him that purple was the best colour for him. I grinned back at him,

"Yeah, here we are. I can't wait, can you?" I smiled fondly at my brother, there was only a year between us and we were best friends. He reached over and pulled on one of my green locks of hair,

"Of course I can't, silly. Let's go and see where we're staying!"

My Mother had booked the trip as a surprise for Glow and me. We had no idea what it was going to be like. We had watched the games, of course. I was secretly hoping that Thresh, the tall one from District 11 was going to win. He was gorgeous! But instead the two from 12 did instead. What a shock for us in the Capitol! We would have never have guessed that they would let two people win, but it was nice all the same. The star crossed lovers from District 12. How romantic...

"Glee! We're here!" Glow's voice snapped through my daydream. I focussed my eyes on where he was looking. Our guide was stood on a raised platform with a clear plastic ball to his right. Just like the reaping ball, it had slips of white paper inside. The guide cleared his mouth to speak, burnt orange curls bounce in a halo around his head,

"Hello and welcome to the 74th Hunger Games arena. May the odds be ever in your favour!" His velvet voice brought silence to the murmuring crowd, now the adventure was about to begin!

"If you hadn't noticed, there are twelve families visiting the arena this week, this reaping ball will determine what suite you will be staying in" He motioned to the ball next to him. "First I will choose who will use the District 1 suite" He reached into the ball and started to pull out the slips of paper.

Ours is District 11. It's not bad, but it could have been better. I wouldn't have minded the luxury of District 1, but if 11 is what we get, then it will have to do. Before we go anywhere though, we are taken through to an ice blue themed lounge to watch the reaping of the games on the big television screen on one of the walls. I've seen them all before, but I still feel my heart flutter as the gorgeous Thresh takes his place on the platform, and I can feel the tears form in my eyes when I see The Katniss's sister being held back by her cousin, sobbing into his shirt.

Once the reaping was over, the screen went black and the lights came back up again. I looked around and saw one lady dobbing into a handkerchief, sure the last reaping was sad, but it wasn't that bad!

Glow and I made our way from the television room and down the corridor towards our room. The walls were filled with stills from the games: and overhead picture of the arena, the red headed, sly girl peering through the leaves, her face caked in mud, there was a picture of Peeta disguised under the mud and sticks, looking almost invisible. The picture by my door was of Katniss holding onto Rue, a spear protruding from her stomach, that clip got thousands of viewings online, it was a beautiful moment. I shake the thoughts from my mind and throw a grin back in Glow's general direction before pushing the door open.

I gasped in surprise, the room wasn't disgusting and muddy as I had been expecting. The bedroom and bathroom were of the best quality. There were lots of pictures of District 11 and its victors; there weren't many I had to admit. The walls were painted with a golden straw kind of colour; it shone under the light from the coloured bulbs embedded in the ceiling. The beds were made of something that looked like straw but it was very soft to the touch. I knew I was going to like staying here.

"Hey look! I think I found the timetable for this week!" Glow's voice rang out and I skipped to his side happily and looked down at the paper in his hand, it read:

I turned to Glow, smile plastered onto my face, "This is going to be the best week ever!"
