Our train speeds across the dessert. Parting with mother was sad but inevitable. Once we have done our chariot rides we watch the recap of the reaping. A few stand out. The striking boy from 11, with ice blue eyes and fast movements, the she hulk from 7 and of course the tributes from two. Both boys and both massive. Our Trainer Glimmer tries telling us to show off and make it with district two but to be wary of others. Bullshite! I don't care. I know how to fight… How to kill… and I am not going with district one two, three or four. The careers are a joke and I will kill every last one of them.

I travel down the elevator with my tribute partner, Harry. He glances to me and slowly starts to take my hand. I glance at him confused and he smiles cockily. That did it for me. That prick. I pull my hand away and slap him. Hard. Across the face. He gasps as I punch him in the nose and do a expertly performed roundhouse kick into his abdomen. By the time the elevator doors open he's on the floor with a bleeding nose. I walk out into the gymnasium and a blush as I realise every other tribute is already here and gaping at me and the poor state of my tribute partner. Gathering myself together I fix them a cold hard glare and stride over to my place in the circle not bothering to see if Harry was ok. I stand still as the attendant fixes a number to my back and listen intently as the instructor speaks. Once he finished many of the tributes search for the weapons while I go straight to the edible plants section. I barely notice as I struggle with the test having tried to kill myself 5 times in 30 minutes. Suddenly a voice behind my say "Don't eat that!" I drop the bug to the floor immediately and turn around to stare into the ice blue eyes of the boy from 11. I gape as he smiles and introduce himself as Jack. Over the next few hours we become inseparable and an alliance is formed almost instantly. He aces the edible plants test and is quiet good at knife throwing. Over the next week I get many people asking for alliances through mentors. I don't care. Jack is clever and perfect and his friends… I mean my allies are just as good. The girl form 7, who i have nick named she hulk is called Niamh can hit a target form 20m away with a axe. The girl form 12, Jordan, can hit anything that moves with that javelin. And me… small and deadly I can take a guy with 50 pounds of weight on top of me to the floor. And I never miss if I have a knife in my hands. I'm ok with a bow as well. When it comes to the game makers I throw some knives and ace the edible plants test. I get a 10. Jordan gets an 8, Niamh a 9 and Jack a 10. Now all I have to do is win in the arena. Easy god damn peasy.
