A/N: Hi y'all! Um, if anyone's got questions about this fic pm me! And also please leave reviews, I don't mind if you correct me, guests too! I hope you like it...and no, I won't specifically show a list of the districts and their tributes like some fics, they will be revealed through the chapters. Also you may have noticed that my chapters are really short and that I pay unnecessary attention to specific details.
District 5
'And our girl tribute is…' Shelby Corcoran announced, a smile plastered to her lips, 'Santana Lopez!' Everyone's eyes were on her, some laced with sympathy, others with guilt. A girl with tanned skin and jet-black hair dressed in a white dress walked up to the stage. She held her head high, and vowed to herself that she'd never let anyone see the tears threatening to rush out of her eyes. Her mother, Maribel, had a grim expression, but like her daughter she was strong, and refused to cry in public.
District 1
'And our boy tribute is…David Karofsky!' Karofsky grinned and high-fived his friends, then ran up to the stage. His father looked proudly at his son. Both loved the Games. Karofsky's parents were both Careers, and it was no surprise that his son was one too.
District 9
A pale boy with a strange accent was sobbing into his mother's arms. His mother hushed him. 'You'll be fine dear. You've watched the Games on television, you can figure strategies, Rory, I know you can, you so smart. Though I didn't know the others hated us so much. They could have at least took pity on you, child, you're only twelve…' at this point, his mother started crying. A peacekeeper came in. 'Sorry, ma'am, you've got to leave now.' His mother placed one last kiss on his forehead, and left.
District 11
'Mercedes, I'm so sorry!' a tall girl cried as she hugged the tribute. She quickly gathered herself. 'My dad said that everyone probably voted for you because you're the most hardworking. And you are. 'Cedes, stay strong, okay? Promise me.' Mercedes smiled sadly. 'Alright, Kerry. You can cry again when I come back as victor.' The two girls laughed and hugged each other.
District 6
'Hello! Nice to meet you! I'm Dani!' The girl tribute with blue hair and a sweet smile greeted the boy. 'Matt.' He replied, and shook her hand. 'Come on children, we have to get on the train!' April Rhodes, their escort from the Capitol, trilled. She was dressed in pink glittery silk, with blonde hair cut and styled to look like a butterfly resting atop her head. Dani snickered and whispered to Matt, 'Bad hair day!' Matt smiled and took her hand. 'C'mon, race you to the train!' they both ran, slightly cheered up that they had made a new friend.
District 10
'Hello. My name is Holly Holliday. I will be your mentor.' A blonde haired lady wearing black said, while extending a hand to the female tribute, a large girl with glasses. She shook it hard. 'Lauren Zizes.' Holly then also shook hands with the male tribute, a handsome Asian boy. 'Mike Chang.' 'So, as your mentor, I have some advice for you...do not go to the Cornucopia at any point unless you want to die. Now, tell me what you are best at.' Neither tribute spoke for a while, daring the other to go first. Mike then murmured, 'Dancing.' 'Dancing? Hmm, won't help you much in the arena, but that would mean you can move quickly, right?' Mike nodded in response to Holly. 'Well that would be useful. What about you, Lauren?' 'I wrestle.' 'Not bad either. What both of you have to concentrate on then will be survival skills and using weapons.'
