Chapter 2.
The Very Scary Tributes
Sugar and I are rushed into the Justice building quickly. My mum and dad come into me and I say goodbye, it's odd I have never made an emotional connection with many people in district ten; Alex and Ben are my best friends so of course they mean something to me, but apart from that I don't normally make any emotional connection with anyone, sad, I know.
Trenise, rushes us into the limo, that will take us to the train.
"You're in for a real treat, goose-feather quilts, platinum doorknobs, it will be wonderful!" she exclaims
"Wouldn't want to be uncomfortable before our death" mumbles Sugar
I just sat there awkwardly, what were my chances? Not good ones, Sugar was like a secret career, she could throw spears just as well as I could throw knives, then there was the actual careers, who know what they have p their sleeves!
We get onto the train and Trenise gives us the grand tour, not forgetting the platinum doorknobs of course, this womans shallowness never ceases to amaze me.
"And this is the Television room, shall we watch a recap of all the reapings?" Titters Trenise.
We sit down and watch the reapings, all the tributes look menacing but only a few stick out in my head, Jamie, the boy from one, he was only twelve but that over-confident look and the way he seems to laugh evilly got me worried that he was very dangerous, both tributes from two caught my eye, Toby and Kata, Toby was huge, it was hard to believe he was only sixteen, he was bigger than Kata and she was seventeen! Again both the tributes from four stuck out, the boy who was reaped, Michael, wouldn't let anyone volunteer for him at all I thought there was an unwritten rule that district four only ever sent in sixteen year olds and above? He was only fifteen, and obviously the girl didn't pay attention to that rule either, Gintare, aged thirteen volunteered before the escort could read out the name on the slip! The girl from seven, Karsyn, seemed quite interesting, she seemed so helpless, I would almost help her, but I should really catch myself, she could be pulling a Johannah Mason after all! Then the last person to stick out in my mind was the girl from eleven, I don't know what is was, the way she moved, spoke, stood, you just couldn't help watching her.
"Well what do you think of your competition?" asks Trenise
"Charlie has none" mumbles Sugar
This compliment takes me completely by surprise, did she have faith in me?
"None except for you" I reply.
