Author's Notes:

This is district 2's tributes. I hope that you enjoy! I've decided to add an escort's POV. Let me know what you think in the review!

Special thanks to xSakura-Blossomsx for Cali and jds2416 for Lucian and the escort Antoinetta Rochester.

Calista "Cali" Honor 17

I toss by auburn hair over my shoulder, stunning. Always stunning with a cute smile, of course. This is it though, this is my year, the year my family has a victor. Cato was my uncle, he was killed by Katniss Everdeen from District 12. It would have been a disgrace, except for the fact that she was a freak. How the Hell did she know how to use a bow and arrow. She was from District 12! It's a mystery in itself.

Honestly, I don't want to go, but I'm definitely prepared. I'm only 17, but why waste a teen year training, when you could win a year earlier and relax for all the years to come in the Victor's Village. I could choose from tons of hot guys, and enjoy the rest of my days. Plus, I'll get to go to the Capitol, like all the time, and get invited to all their grand balls and parties. The Capitol's food is supposed to be like crazy amazing. It doesn't get any better than that, trust me if it did I would know.

Aileen, my best friend walks in. We have been best friends since we were four, we were inseparable, then my brother developed a massive crush on her, long story short the only time I see in our house, is when she is making out with my brother on the couch. At first, it felt weird talking to her, but now we are pretty cool about everything.

"Wow, Cali, your makeup looks great!"

"Thanks Ali, but I am a little bit nervous."

"You nervous, pssh, I've never seen someone as prepared as you. You kicked the crap out of Cannon the other day, and he is supposed to volunteer this year. If I were him, I would think twice before volunteering."

"Stop it, you are totally sugarcoating it."

She waves me off, "No, I'm not."

"Okay, whateves," I say as I roll my eyes. I then quietly ask, "You okay, you know about not volunteering?"

Ali was supposed to volunteer earlier this year, then they started noticing me and sort of forced me to volunteer, so basically it was a total slap to the face to Ali.

She tries to comfort me, "So, I'll just volunteer next year, no biggie."

"Great, thanks."

Ali changes the subject,"So, what are you going to wear?! You know, you have to have that first big impression, that says I'm here, BAM!"

"Well, I was thinking the pink strapless with those silver flats I have. What do you think?"

She puts on a sadistic grin as she replies, "I think you are some little four year old that can't find her mommy. Pink really, wear the black strapless, with the black four inch boots, that would be total bad ass killer."

"I hate to say it but, your right. Yeah, that'd be cool," I reply.

She rolls her eyes, "Of course I'm right, I'm always right."

While I'm changing in my master walk in closet, I can hear Ali, humming a song. Maybe, just maybe I'm making a massive mistake, maybe I shouldn't volunteer. Well, I definitely can't be thinking that way if I plan on winning.

When I walk out Ali gasps.

The sadistic grin transforms into the typical idiotic district 1 dork as she says, "You look like my worst nightmare, aka, incredible!"

I laugh, "Really, thanks. All right, Let's get going. We don't want to be late."

District 2 Male: Lucian Benett POV:

My sister's pouting in her room. I tell her to vacuum the living room, and she doesn't want to. I don't care if she does or doesn't, I'm the first born son of the family. I make all the rules unless father is against them. My father told me to boss my mother and sister around, because it shows power. I have lots of power. I am like the most handsome Greek god in the world. Zeus and the others would want to be me.

I'm having a party this morning, to celebrate the fact that I'm volunteering. It isn't a massive party, most people here are just here wish me luck. Like I need it. Everyone is invited. This kid Cannon was supposed to volunteer, but I get to because and I quote, "Lucian should go, he'll win it." Poor, Cannon. At least they can tell talent when they see it!

As all the guests start to pile in, I realize that Cali isn't here. I look around in frustration, she didn't come. How dare she! Listen, I could get any girl I want, but Cali is the one. I just know it. See if I go and talk to those girls over in the living room, I would be charming and humorous. When I'm around Cali, I turn into this dork. I can't find the words to say it's embarrassing. I don't know why I like her but I do. Her big beautiful hazel eyes are killer an-.

"Bro, what up man?"

I turn to see my best friend Falcon.

"Wha?"

"Yo, you dreaming bout Cali."

"No," I snort," Give me a break, you enjoying the party?"

"Don't change the subject, I know you are."

"Listen I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Okay, calm down. I'm walking away now."

Ugh, he's totally right. I am thinking about Cali. Maybe she didn't know that I was having a party. It was kind of thrown together last is obviously a very good explanation.

"Okay, guys let's wrap up this party, the reaping will start soon, and I'm not going to be late."

Cali will learn what she missed out on when I come back from the arena. She will be begging me to just call her my girlfriend.

Cali POV:

As Ali and I head towards the Reapings, the mood turns sort of sober. Complete silence, and it's starting to get awkward. I see Riyn up ahead. As soon as she sees us, she runs over. Riyn is a good friend. She isn't like me and Ali, but she is closer than most of my friends.

"Guys did you hear, Lucian is throwing a party right now because he's going to volunteer."

My stomach tightens up. Okay, I don't really know how I feel about him. He's cute and a total dork around me, but he isn't worth the pain. Every time I see him, he's always flirting with other girls and it hurts. I tell myself that I don't like him, but I know I do. I'm a massive second guesser. I can never decide.

"Well, I guess he's just going to have to die, because Cali here is volunteering and she is going to win no matter what."

I turn to Ali and give her a grateful smile. She's the best, best friend in the whole wide world.

As soon as we get there, I look out over the Justice Building. This is it I think to myself, everyone will know my name as soon as I step onto that stage. Then I think of Cato. Too much confidence can be your downfall.

Lucian Benett POV:

As Falcon and I were heading over to the reapings, I made my sister clean up all the mess that was made during the party before she could come to the Reapings. It isn't like we made that big of a mess, we only had drinks at the party. We could've had sex.

"You know Falcon, I can't wait to get on the train. I can relax and enjoy the ride. All this extra crap is a waste. We have to get our fingers pricked, stand there for like forever, listen to the boring video, plus the girls always get to go first. It's just a waste of time."

When we arrive, I search for Cali, I have about 10 minutes to find her. We got here early. I finally see her in the 17 year old section. Shit, I can't talk to her. They give the girls a little wiggle room to talk to their boyfriends, but they never let guys talk to their girlfriends. Unless of course it's a sibling and the younger one is like having a mental freak out thing.

Guess I better go get my finger pricked, she will probably come visit me before I leave.

District 1 escort Antoinetta Rochester POV:

Okay, I think to myself, it's show time. I am wearing my favorite oppo heels. They are opposite from normal heels. Instead of my heels being above my toes, it's the opposite. They're the new thing in the Capitol. My favorite color is orange, so I have orange flowers on my heels, in my hair, and I am wearing an orange dress. Of course I'm wearing eight pounds of jewelry, it's a standard for me.

"Miss Antoinetta, are you ready?"

My gorgeous camera man gives me the signal, and the doors open as I stride out with my best posture and biggest smile I can muster.

"Hello district 2, Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor."

I have to play the video of the destruction of Panem and why the Hunger Games had to be. I shouldn't say this, but it is beginning to get old for me. The tributes complain, they only have to listen to it for six years, meanwhile I have been the district 2 escort for eight years and counting.

As soon as it finishes I say in the most sing song voice "Ladies first." I dig around the Crystal bowl extra to build the suspense.

"Shayter Wisl-"

"I volunteer."

The girl I'm looking at jogging to the stage is short, but looks strong, pale, but very pretty hazel eyes. Her outfit is killer, all black, the Capitol will love her.

"Oh, a volunteer, what is your name dear?"

"Calista Honor."

"Now moving on to the boy's."

Not sure if we will get another volunteer or not, I grab the first slip on top.

"Lucian Benett."

There is a murmur in the crowd. Then silence. Heads start turning, and it doesn't take long to see who the boy is. Everyone is staring at him.

He slowly makes his way to the Justice Building, up the steps, taking his time. When he finally gets to the stage I look at him, he almost looks confused.

"Well, please shake hands."

As I look at them shaking hands, the girl has tears in her eyes. Quickly she wipes them away before anyone else can see. I don't know how they know each other. Good friends maybe, or yet closer than good friends. They didn't have the same last name.

Gossip, the favorite drug to anyone that lives in the Capitol. I will definitely find out as soon as I get on the train what sort of relationship goes on between the two.

Cali POV:

Oh no, what did I just get myself into? Only one person will make it out alive, but my love for Lucian isn't anymore than my love for my family and myself. The only time I could face him is in the finale or whatever you want to call it. Hopefully the odds will be better for that. I told my family to come see me, but the peacekeepers put me on the train. I am freaking out and as a second guesser, I need to get on my A game if I'm to win the Games. It's just too much to take in right now.

Lucian Benett POV:

I sit in this tiny room with a satin like couch. I told my friends that if they wanted to see me, they could. I hear a big groan as the big oak doors open. It's Falcon and Aldon, my two best friends.

"What the fuck am I going to do?"

Surprisingly Aldon speaks, he is like the quietest in the group of us three.

"Do what you were going to do, win. Don't let some stupid girl get in your head. If you win, you could choose from any girl you want. Besides, you probably won't be the one to have to kill her."

He's right, I am going to try to pretend that she's just some random girl that I don't know. We'll see how long that lasts.

Author's Notes:

1. What did you think?

2. Who did you like better?

3. Any suggestions?

BTW, I listened to all the songs that you guys said were your favorite pump up songs. I have to say there was not one that I didn't like.

Thanks for reading. Please leave a review!
