After goodbyes are said at the justice building, we are quickly escorted to the train station. Unfortunately, all the Capitol's "good" trains (the ones that went 200 miles per hour) were destroyed in the rebellion. Because of this, we had to ride the coal trains from District 12 that traveled 75 miles per hour. Karen had announced that we would make it to the Capitol tomorrow afternoon.

As I entered the train, I admired the beautifully decorated cars. I hadn't thought the cars would be this fancy, but I figured it was for Karen's likings.

Soon enough, I met Bryn. She had been a special ops agent in the rebellion, and would give us tips on how to win in the games. Unfortunately, she was from the Capitol so I doubted we would be seeing eye to eye on most occasions. Soon after that, I actually introduced myself to Liam.

"Hey!" He said with a knowing smirk.

"Hello, how are you?" I asked with politeness.

"Well considering the fact that we're being sent to our deaths… I'd say I'm doing great!" He said as sarcasm filled his tone.

I flinched because obviously I hadn't completely thought that question through. "Sorry," I muttered.

"It's ok!" He said, hugging me. I quickly recoiled. I had known him all of two minutes, and he was already hugging me? "Sorry," he said, "I just like you kinda. You were in my math class," he told me. I nodded then realized Lily was right. He liked me. I couldn't help but laugh. Then nodded and head off to my "bedroom".

I opened the dresser in my bedroom to discover clothes of every color and style imaginable. I stripped out of my reaping outfit, and I put on dark jeans along with a green t-shirt. Then I put my hair in a braid, and went to join Liam, Karen, and Bryn.

I sat at the other end of the table away from everyone because I wanted to be an antisocial hermit crab at the moment. Everyone gave me smiles that invited me to join them at the other end of the table, but I just scowled and picked at my food on my plate. My plate consisted of a lobster, yet since I originally grew up in district 13 I didn't like seafood like the rest of district four. The smell of seafood used to send me running for the bathroom, but now I've gotten to the point where I just don't like eating it. Aunt Nola always had trouble getting me food, so I eventually got a job at the boat store to buy my own food with my own money.

After a few curious stares, I announced, "I don't really like seafood." That of course made Liam laugh.

"You hate seafood, but you live in the fishing district?" He asked as curiosity filled his voice.

"Not by choice I lived in district- I mean somewhere else." I said to nervous to let them know I came from the dead district as it was referred to.

No one asked where they just nodded and kept eating. I excused myself and went to take a nap.

I woke up an hour later to a knocking on my bedroom door. I got up and opened it to the face of Liam… without his shirt. I couldn't help but look at his abs.

"Do you like the view?" He asked me.

I blushed and turned away, but couldn't get the image out of my head. "S-s-sorry. It's kinda…" I started

"Distracting?" He asked with a knowing smile that irritated me.

"What do you want?!" I asked, getting a bit annoyed with his cockiness.

He grimaced at my harsh tone and replied, "Dinner, if you're hungry," and walked back to his room.

I brushed my hair and quickly went to join everyone in the dining car. As I took my seat I noticed there wasn't a single plate of sea food, and couldn't help but smile.

"I hope you enjoy it. Seafood free, just for you!" Said Bryn.

"Thanks" I replied.

"Ok, we need to talk about strategy for the games. Where's Liam?" Bryn said.

After walking into Liam's room to find him asleep (with a shirt on thank goodness), they gave up on the whole strategy idea deciding to discuss it later. I decided I wasn't very hungry and went back to bed.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I woke up the next morning with the alarm clock screaming at me. I turned it off then went to go shower. After the shower I put on a thin blue sweater and jeans. I quickly put my hair in a ponytail and went to join everyone.

"We'll be arriving at the Capitol in an hour, so hurry up and eat!" Encouraged Karen.

"How long is it supposed to take to eat breakfast?" I muttered. I took my seat next to Liam and smiled at him.

He returned the smile and said, "You snore in your sleep."

I turned towards him about to say,"Stalker!" When I decided to be nicer and say,"Ok, thanks for the tip. I'll try not to wake everyone on the train up next time."

"You do that," he replied. After that I decided I wanted to go to my bedroom and ride the rest of the ride in silence.
