Alright! More chapters!

Once again we gathered around the television. Waiting for Anna to appear on-screen. The interviews were next and I wasn't nervous. Katniss however, was extremely nervous. Earlier today, I went with her to the woods to hunt with Gale. When we got to the lake Katniss plopped down next to it. She swirled her hand in the water and I felt an important plot point coming on. Gale sat next to her and started to skin a squirrel.
"She has to do good in the interviews." She said quietly, looking up at me. I sat down.
"Why? Isn't it just so people can 'get to know the tributes'?" I asked?
"No. It's too get sponsors." She said.
"Oh so now she gonna have to run around the arena with some company's logo on her back?" Katniss looked at me like I was crazy.
"No. Their just rich people that sponsor tributes. If a tribute was burned, maybe a sponsor would send burn cream. Or maybe a certain weapon." I nodded realizing the importance.
"But you can survive without one, right?" I asked nervously. She looked away.
"Sure. It's happened before. But she... Isn't strong enough to live without them."
"Oh" I suddenly became very interested in a blade of grass next to me. We sat there in silence for what seemed like forever until Gale announced we should leave. So we did.

We sat there in front of the small TV in the Everdeen's living room, waiting for the moment Anna is interviewed by the mentally-scarring Cesar Flickerman. He comes out with green hair, sparkly green suit, and green eyelids. District One's girl, Emerald, came out in a sparkly orange dress that came just above her knees. Her platinum blonde hair was adorned with a golden halo. I could see Nudge nodding her head approvingly. Emerald giggled and flirted the entire time. By the end I was ready to P-U-K-E! I could she the goal for them was simple: get the male sponsors. A sad tactic, no doubt about it. Golden, the male tribute from District One came out in an orange sparkly suit. He too, flashed dazzling smiles into the crowd. I think my eyes were on swivels because they kept rolling. By the time they reached District Five I was ready to tear my hair out. By District Ten, I was ready to pull my wings out. District Twelve. Anna came out in a white dress with brown, black, and gray rocks layering the bottom inch of the dress.
"Wow. Really sticking with the...uh... rock theme." Prim said. Katniss sighed.
"We don't even mine rocks! We mine coal." We all laughed at there stupidity, then stopped talking to listen.
"Anna, Anna," Caesar said, dragging her name out. She smiled confidently at him, then at the camera.
"So how was your journey to the Capitol? Long way from twelve, huh?
"Yes. Very long. But I like seeing all the other Districts." Anna said, bobbing her head. Caesar smiled.
"So did you leave anyone...special back home? A boyfriend? Maybe?" The silence stretched on forever. I held my breath.
"No." a horrible sadness squeezed my heart as I glanced at Iggy.
"Really? A pretty girl like you, I would think you would have someone. Well now, what is your tactic for the games?" Caesar asked. I wasn't listening. Poor Iggy! I glanced over to where he was standing and his head was hanging. The Hunger Games must change you. A lot.
