Chapter 2
We're pushed into rooms to say our goodbyes. My dad comes in first . He tells me that he has some cookies for me. I realize this might be the last time I see him . He's been there for me my whole life .he taught me how to bake. I even break down and cry .Then my mom comes in with my brothers who just stand in the background . While coming in she tells me that district 12 might actually have a victor. I'm surprised that she has so much confidence in me to win. "That girl has sure got a lot of fight in her " she was talking about Katniss. She's not even expecting me to come home so I guess it really doesn't matter if I win or lose.
I hugged my family one more time even though my mom is thinking about Katniss and my brothers haven't even talked to me. Then they leave. As the door closes I see Gale walk out of Katniss's room .I realize that even if I didn't get called for the Katniss still wouldn't have noticed me. She would choose Gale. I honestly don't even think she knew my name before the reaping.
On the car ride to the train stop Effie won't stop talking so I block her out of my head. All I'm thinking about is the arena , who I'm going against , how strong they are, and how smart and more clever than I I'm thinking I look at Effie. I don't think she's even taken a breath yet.
I look at Katniss . She's looking outside I think how hard it would be to see that beautiful face in the sky at night. Suddenly she looks at me and I see in her face strength, but in her eyes vulnerability and fear. While my eyes look like I've gone a week without sleep that's how bloodshot my eyes are . I notice now how there's a pin with a bird on it in her hand . Every seconde she squeezes it harder and harder.I just realize that no matter how strong her face is, she's just as scared.
We finally get to the train station and finally get away from Effie ,because we're allowed to go to our rooms before dinner . I sit on my bed and think today marks the day I give my life to the capital.
Sorry this chapter is kind of short ,but I promise the next one will be longer. :)
