You will know that the Capitol has something for everyone to watch when electricity is on. And I am pretty sure, that they have something about the upcoming Hunger Games. They are done with the introduction so tonight may be the night for the interview. They do this interview to know something more about the tributes and at the same time it is time for them to capture more sponsorship. But for me, it is just another way to let them have their final words. Because in the coming days only one will be named as Victor; only one out of 24 tributes. And that idea is killing me. I know Katniss is strong, but I have no idea with the rest. There are tributes from other districts who prepared themselves in this Game. It feels like a heroic deed on their part, but to other districts like District 12, it is something that everyone wants to escape from.

I am here waiting with Prim and their Mom, for Katniss' turn. Each tribute has 3 minutes for an interview.

District 1,2,3..

District 4,5,6

District 7,8,9,10,11..

District 12..

"Katniss Everdeen!""

I can see her making her way to the center stage. She shakes hands with Caesar, the host, and I can see that she is nervous. Of course, I know it. I've been with her so long now. We've been together hunting since we met. But still, she looks not nervous enough for a stranger to notice.

"So Katniss, the Capitol must be quite a change from District 12. What's impressed you the most since you arrived here?"

Caesar starts asking her question but Katniss is not in focus. It seems like she's looking for someone in the crowd. I don't know who. I have no idea. And there's a strange feeling building inside me that I can't even explain.

Gale, put yourself together. It is not the right time for that.

"The lamb stew."

Finally she put herself together and answers Caesar's question. An unexpected answer to the audience in the Capitol, but to us here living in District 12, a proper meal is hard to find. The crowd is starting to laugh, even Caesar. It feels bad. They are laughing because of her answer? But this is true! Why not try to be in our shoes and you might understand. But of course, I can't tell them that. I am here in District 12 watching the girl of my dreams, having an interview that might be her last. Her last. And it feels like a knife stabbed in my heart.
