FINCHES POV

"Ow!" I said as a stylist ripped the hairs from my leg.

"Only a bit of hair left!" said a stylist with bright blue hair as he ripped of the last of my hair. "You will be sent to Lana soon," he said. I was guessing Lana was my head stylist. The people hosed me down and dried me off and sent me into a room. A few minutes later, a lady walked in. She had black hair and pale skin. The only makeup she wore was a dark purple lipstick.

"I'm Lana," she said. "You must be Finch."

"Yeah," I answered.

"I'm sorry about, well, all that you have to go through," she said.

"Yeah, most people just say to me, 'So you're one of the lucky tributes!'" I told her.

"Well, I don't believe that being forced to kill people is exactly lucky," said Lana, as she surveyed me. "The other stylists did a really good job," she said. She handed me a robe and gestured to a table. "Sit," she said. The table rotated and there was some food on it. I stared. It was so much, there was so much food.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" asked Lana.

"Nothing," I said and speared a piece of chicken with my fork. I took a bite. I couldn't get used to how good this food tasted.

"So, about your costume tonight," she said. "We will be putting safety sparklers on you. We wanted to tell you before hand, so you wouldn't be too freaked out."

"Wait, you mean with the sparks of fire going off?" I asked.

"Yes, but not real fire. Don't worry, it won't hurt," Lana reassured me.

I was not confident about this costume.

"Today you will begin training," said a women to us. "You must learn to use weapons but you must also learn to identify plants, make fires, all of that. Without that, you can't survive," she said.

We all went to a station. I went to the plants to test my knowledge of them. I matched the Katniss plant to some tubers, I matched nightlock to some dark blue berries. I was finished with the test in around thirty seconds. I guess using that plant book really helped. I looked over and saw the girl from 2 looking at me, a creepy smile on her face. I quickly looked away.

I then went to tying knots. The man there was so happy so have a person finally coming to his stations. I learned some simple knots and then one harder knot. My hands burned from the rope after I was done. I saw the girl from 12 coming to tie knots.

The careers were throwing knives and spears at targets. They never missed. I gulped. 'You're smart as a fox' I remembered Eve saying.

"I can't do any of this," said Drew, coming up to me.

"Sure you can. Just try everything. I'm sure you'll find something that you're good at," I said. Drew nodded and walked away.

I then walked to the camouflage station and saw the boy from 12.

"Hi," he said, picking up a paint brush. I was a little startled that someone, not Drew, was talking to me.

"Hi," I said, looking at the paint colors. I looked at the boy painting his arm. It was beginning to look exactly like tree bark.

"That's really good," I told him.

"Thank you. I used to decorate cakes at the bakery that my parents own," he said.

"Oh, a bakery, so you could just stuff your face all day?" I asked.

"I ate stale bread, and I couldn't just eat the bread. We had to sell it," he said, a little bit angry.

"Oh," was all I could say.

"So what can you do, other than, make rude comments?" he asked.

"Ha ha, very funny," I said. "And I can't really do anything," I half-lied.

"I'm sure you could do something," he said.

"Yeah, I guess. So, what's your name," I asked.

"Peeta," he said. "And you?" he asked.

"Finch," I answered. I got up to leave but not before I said, "May the odds be ever in your favor!" In a Capitol accent. Peeta laughed. He seemed nice, he had me again wishing that more that one person could win these games.

I did some other things and it turned out that I was good at climbing, and okay at using a dagger, but not much else. The Careers were obviously good at almost everything. The girl from 12 looked like she was hiding something that she could do. Peeta was good at throwing weights. The little girl from 11 was good at climbing, and she was fast. She was also kind of crafty. She might make a good ally. Drew could kind of throw a spear but that was it. I didn't think he would make it past the Bloodbath.

I didn't think that most of the people here would make it past the Bloodbath. I was pretty sure that I was one of those unlucky people.

YEAH, SO I'M CHANGING THE COSTUMES! I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE THE COSTUMES FOR DISTRICT 5 IN THE MOVIE! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
