One day.

I'd been riding this stupid train for all of one day so far and I was already beyond bored.

They went through districts in numerical order, and since I was from district three, I had to spend quite a lot of time on this train.

I sighed, staring at the ceiling of my room, which was far more luxurious than my actual bedroom. I glanced out my window, trees flying by at an alarming rate. I sighed again, sitting up and crossing to my door.

There has to be something to do on this train. I thought as I walked from the district three car into the bar car, glancing around the empty room. I considered getting an actual drink, since there was no one watching the actual bar, but instead opted to go into the next car: the food car.

This one wasn't empty, however, and as I entered three heads all turned towards me.

Crap. I thought, The Careers.

The three of them all seemed to be examining me.

One was a tall, thin boy. He looked to be about my age. His hair was a sandy color.

Next to him was a short dark haired girl. There was no way she could be any older than fifteen. Despite this she had a large scowl on her face as I walked over to the bar-like counter sitting down. " Can we help you?" She asked, clearly irritated by my presence.

Stay calm Aria, don't let them get to you.

I glanced at her, saying " I'm good thanks."

A taller blonde girl behind her rolled her eyes, huffing as she said " What Clove means is why the hell are you in here."

I rolled my eyes as I looked at her, saying " I mean, this is the food car. What do you think I'm doing?"

She huffed again, crossing her arms, her brows furrowing in my direction.

I turned back towards the counter, picking up what appeared to be a square grape, popping it in my mouth. I smiled a bit as I chewed it, the flavor filling my mouth.

I glanced back over at them, all of their eyes still on me. " Do you mind? " I asked, popping another grape into my mouth.

" Let's just go." Clove said, turning on her heel, the other two following as I turned back towards the counter. " You coming Cato? " I heard the blonde girl, who's name I still didn't know, ask. I glanced back over my shoulder, now seeing a fourth person in the room.

I momentarily stopped chewing as I realized he was watching me.

He was tall, I could tell even though he was sitting, and had blonde hair. He was fit, for sure, and his face was undeniably gorgeous. I gulped slightly, quickly turning away, eating another grape.

" Nah, I'll find you guys later. " Cato said, them taking this as their que to leave. As the door clicked shut the silence suddenly seemed extremely loud, and the car felt much smaller than before.

I ran a hand through my hair, it resting in slight waves from the braids I slept in the previous nice. I was dressed in a pair of plain dark jeans and a silver blouse, with white flats. I suddenly regretted not wearing something more attractive.

What are you thinking Aria? This guy is your competition.

None the less I couldn't help but straighten up a bit, turning around on my stool to face him. He was still staring at me, a smirk on his face.

Oh god that smirk. I thought, staying composed, That smirk is gonna kill me.

" Do you have a staring problem?" I asked, confidently as I could, taking another grape into my mouth carelessly, watching him.

He smirked wider, standing up. I was right about his height, and as he approached, It was clear I was also right about his attractivness.

" Do you have a grape addiction? " He asked, cockily as he took one from my fingers, popping it into his own mouth.

I rolled my eyes slightly, watching him as he sat down on the stool beside me. " I'm Cato, District Two. " He said, taking another grape I had grabbed.

" Thats nice. " I said, moving my hand away quickly as he reached to take yet another one of the grapes I grabbed, quickly popping it in my mouth.

"Aren't you gonna tell me your name? " He asked, snatching the plate of grapes away from in front of me.

" Why does it matter? Do you like to know the names of the people you plan on killing? " I ask, reaching for the plate of grapes.

His hand grabs mine as I reach for the plate, his other hand grabbing my other as he said " Maybe. " He grinned as he moved his face close to mine, whispering " Or maybe I think your cute. "

I could feel his breath hitting my lips, and I had to use all my strength to not jump him right then and there. " My moneys on the first option. " I said, my eyes on his.

He laughed lightly, backing away from me, releasing my hands. He grabbed the plate of grapes, standing again. " That's probably a smart choice."

As he headed for the door, a smirk still in place, I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from what I did next.

" Aria." I said, him stopping and turning towards me, his smirk growing as one began to form on my face. " My name's Aria. "

He nodded, winking with a cocky look as he exited the car.

I slumped back against the bar, closing my eyes as I tilted my head towards the ceiling.

Im in trouble. I thought.

Big big trouble.
