They shuffle us into the Justice Building. My mother comes in and says "We might actually have a winner this year." She pauses for a moment. I'm ectastic my mother does love me! She belives I can win! When my blood turns cold. "She's a fighter that one." She hugs me then leaves. She didn't mean me, she meant Katniss. Of course she would. I deflate on the inside. Well.. now that I think about it it dosen't really suprise me all that much... Oh well its not like I'm going to prove her wrong. I am going to protect Katniss at ALL costs. I will die, if it means Katniss can win. I can't live without her. I at least have a reason to talk to her now... even if I only get to really know her for a week. I wait but no one else comes to vist me. The peacekeepers walk me back into the square I see Katniss she lookd... can it be possible.. does she look bored? I look up on the screen no matter how much I try and hide it, its pretty hard to ignore the fact that I've been crying.. ah poop now all of Panem knows I'm a wimp. As I enter the train I can't help but gasp at the car. Everything in it is expensive, from its plush velvet carpet, to the exquiste china silverware. I quickly glance over at Katniss, she's still marveling at the beauty of it all. I let out a sigh, too bad I'll never get to enjoy a life like this back in victors villiage, because I'm going to die in the games. Ah well might as well make the best of it! Katniss and I sit down at a table. "Have ethier of you seen Haymitch lately?" Effie, Our escort asks in her annoying high pitched voice in the signature capitol accent. Ugg these people make me sick. Apperently so does Katniss because she answers rather rudely.

"Effie, he's drunk, who cares where he is, he's going to be a nusince to anyone near him." I laugh silently at this comment.

"How ironic you two find this funny when in the Games, Haymitch is your only lifeline to the world." At this moment Haymitch chooses to make an apperance.

"What I'd miss?" He slurs, the voimts and falls into it.

"So laugh away!" says Effie and daintily walks around Haymitch in her Five inch heels.
