No. No. No.
It can't be. No not Robbie. How he is 20!?
Oh yeah they changed the rules this year, Gillion is a blinking cold hearted bastard.
Two of my best friends are in this games no this is not fair .no.
I start to cry, Noha puts an arm round me
"Why? Why us we havnt don't anything wrong!" I cry
"Your right we havnt, I guess it's fate" Noha says with a sigh.
It carries on the reapings.

We have finished writing everyone's name except people from 7,8 & 9. I can't believe this, Noha, Robbie and I, not everyone can come home.
I go to my room not wanting to talk to anyone and run my head through everything to make sure it isn't a nightmare.
I fall asleep almost instantly as I hit the bed.
i wake up really early around 5 am and can't see the point in going back to sleep.
i walk through to the dining room/living room , and I see Noha watching the 74th hunger games.
I go sit next to him and watch
We finish it and I break the silence
"not all of three of us can go home"
"I know" Noha sighs "I say we choose someone to protect during the games"
"this is a good idea, who do you think" I ask, hoping he says the same person I think.
"no offence but I think Robbie should go home
"yes me too, people need him back in 4 and in 12" I say agreeing with him 100%
" I mean he needs to, Annie will be alone and so will Gabi, and we both know they are all over each other" he says not thinking that we will be dead in the next three weeks.
It's obvious Robbie should go back he has every reason too. Noha has two brothers and parents yes they will miss Noha but they won't be forever alone, same with me both of my parents are there and my brother so they all have each other. But if Robbie dies, aunt Annie is going to be all alone and probably won't cope losing Robbie aswell as Finnik. Gabi and Robbie have something so they could sort that when Robbie gets back. It's better, hopefully one of us three go back instead of no one at all because Gabi will be all alone and don't think she could cope.
We sit in silent waiting to stop at the Capitol.
about two hours later we arrive and there are massive crowds standing at the platform trying to see who's on the train.
the doors open
"guys smile" I hear papa hay whisper behind him.
and As you do we smile. The crowd goes crazy when we wave and smile, I feel like we are the Penguins at the zoo in Madagascar and we have to entertain them and then it dawns on me, that's the reason why we are here, for there own entertainment.
This makes me stop smiling and I don't give a shit if people see me I want this to be over.
we arnt aloud to our apartments things till after we meet everyone.
i am split from Noha as he get whizzed away by these crazy Capitol folk, I laugh and then realise it's happening to me to.
We get into a small room with a hospital bed in the middle and a loads of tools and colour and stuff at the side.
" hi my name is daisy" she squeals "I'm your makeup artist
im sorta glad she is she is wearing the least makeup out of all three off them. She has turquoise hair that flows behind her as she walks, her eyelids are white with a silver lining, he lips are a deep purple and her blusher it pink and stands out.
" hello I'm willow Mellark" I say not that enthusiastic
" oh hush child, I know who you are " she says and laughs
"this is Musit, your hair stylist" daisy cheers and points to her left.
He is tall, he has jet black hair with streaks of purple, red and yellow through out his hair. He has gold Eyeliner on all around his eyes and a pink lipgloss and surprisingly it really suits him.
"Heya gurl " he says and gives me a hug
"hi" I reply a little scared
"and last but not least, this is Dine" this time daisy Points to her right "she will be helping with spa treatments and waxing and nails and all those fananagins" she smiles. Dine is the smallest and has red flowing hair that is pinned in a messy pun and there is a nail file stuck through the middle of it, she has heavy eyeliner, and she has done wings with her eyeliner as well which has come out great. Her lips are a blood red and her eyeshadow matches. Her cheeks are Rosie red, like most Capitol folk, she is very pretty.
daisy sits me on the bed.
I wonder why we are getting ready there isn't anything to get ready for
"What are we getting ready for?" I ask really confused
"The parade of course, this year we are doing it the days the tributes are picked" Daisy says as I was supposed to know.
" then the training starts tomorrow, this year it's 5 days of training and the 6th day is the one on one assessment." Musit adds
"But president Gillion says two weeks till the games" I reply getting puzzled
"Oh I think she was meaning a week unless they are giving you some bonding time, they gave you two days of bonding time after training in the 70th hunger games. But remember they do have the interviews as well" daisy says getting puzzled as well.
"Now lay flat" Musit says pushing my shoulder down.
I lay flat on the bed as they instruct, as soon as my hits the pillow Dine gets to work.
She starts with my face first, plucking my eyebrows one hair by one. It hurts more than expected. That is all she does on my face and starts waxing, everything.
As Dine is waxing Musit starts with my hair. I feel him put gel or dye or something in my hair.
I don't want him to dye it I like my dirty blonde hair.
" what are you doing?" I ask Musit
"Don't worry child I'm not dyeing it, we are washing it, Capitol style." Musit says and laughs a little.
I stay quiet and let people do their job.
Dine has finished with waxing and has moved on to my nails, she has a small stool and put it beside me and grabs my hand.
I move my eyes to see what colour she is doing them and it's a dirty green which surprisingly looks really good. It looks like the grass out side the mines in 12, green grass covered in coal. It's very pretty on my nails.
Daisy has already started doing my makeup and I didn't even realise. I do like makeup but not loads and loads like I have seen in the Capitol.
Dine has finished with my body but Daisy and Musit haven't finished and it been about 2 hours.
Finally they are finished.
"3" daisy says
"2" she says while putting on the last finishing touches
"1" she says and all three of them step back
" omg, gurl you look fabulous" Musit says enthusiastically
"You really do look stunning" Dine says calmly, that's the first time I have heard her speak.
"Right stand up and look at yourself" daisy screams almost and points to the direction of the mirror.
I stand up and slowly walk to the mirror. When I reach the mirror I am shocked. I look pretty. I look amazing. Apart from the gown but my hair and my face and my nails and omg everything, all look so so so so good.
My hair has thankfully not changed colour, it's still the same dirty blonde but it's now wavy instead of messy curls, a part of my hair is pinned back with a clip that has a leaf attached to the top. I love it. My makeup is amazing, I have very light green eyeshadow with a black lining and black eyeliner. My bright blue eyes stand out and look more blue than ever. My cheeks are a Rosie red, it's not too dark and looks natural. My contour is amazing my cheekbones look more than amazing. My lips are a very dark purple almost black. I can't wait to see my dress.
"Now that you have seen yourself we will go and get your clothes stylist" Dine says
I turn round and all three are standing there together I run and hug them all
"Thankyou" I say and I really mean it
"No problem petal" Musit says politely
We break the hug and they all walk out leaving me sitting on the bed waiting to see who my stylist is.
