Chapter 3: The Excitement

Abigail excitedly got out of her seat and walked out of the luxurious train with Abigail grin on her face. Gale followed after her nervously. When he stepped onto the platform the crowd burst into cheers. A smile grew on his face and he waved to the crowd. Abigail ushered him off to the side and motioned for me to step out. I nervously walked out of the train and saw a huge crowd of odd looking people. I stood on the platform not knowing what to do. The crowd started to clap and Abigail didn't look pleased. She put her hand on her mouth motioning for me to smile. I smiled and started waving to everyone and the crowd grew louder. Abigail smiled at me and I walked off proudly. After me was Haymitch. He wobbled out of the car holding some bottles of alcoholic and stumbled off the stage. I began to wonder how he managed to win the games. Was it luck?

Just then, Abigail put her hand on my shoulder and said, "Follow me." She walked through a door at the side of the platform which led to a bright glass room with an elevator at the end. Abigail led Gale and me to the elevator door and pressed the button. It made a loud dinging sound and I asked, "What was that?" She looked at me in disbelief. "That was the elevator silly" she responded. "We don't have those where I live." I said. She ignored me and started talking to Haymitch about how exciting the games are this year. I looked at Gale and he gave me a grin. Just then, the elevator doors opened. We all stepped into the glass elevator and Abigail said,"Okay, since you guys are from district 12 we get the the penthouse on the twelfth floor. She hopped up and down in excitement.

Then the elevator doors opened on the top floor. We walked in to the huge penthouse and it was beautiful. It was the most amazing place to live anyone could dream of. It had a twirly glass staircase and a modern looking kitchen and dining room. "I know. I know. It's fantastic." I stood there In awe with my mouth wide open. "Now come on I will show your to your room. Then, you will quickly change and you will meat your stylist." I nodded. "The chariot pride is tonight." she said, "You have to make a good impression."
