5 years later.
"Ok students as you know tomorrow for our geography report we're going to District four to sketch the terrain and research the coastal habitat," Ms Portcher stated staring down the class with beady eyes. I was tapping my pencil on the desk picking at my nails when she was in front of me.
"Ms Mellark, are you not in this class anymore?" Her cat eyes giving me the 'eye'
"I uhh... no, sorry ma'am," I stuttered, bravely turning my head to face her.
"Hmm, you're lucky your packing this afternoon and not at detention,"
She turned on her heel and headed for the front of the class, as she was doing this the bell rang for the end of school . Gathering my pencil case and books I headed for my locker only stopping to talk with my close friend Sarah. I stuffed everything I owned into my pouch and strode over the meadow to Victors Village. When I felt the wooden steps to the porch I knew that my legs were going to give way so I quickly rain inside and flopped onto the couch.
"Where do you think your shoes belong Flor?" Mum started moving towards me from the living room. I slide of my shoes and flung them out the open door smiling back at my mother who winked at me then slumped out of the room. Trudging upstairs to my bedroom I pushed the door shut and opened my suit case. I have to pack for a week so I pull out all my underwear, tops, jeans, shorts, Pajamas and shoes. I threw it all in and sunk into my bed. Annie sewed the blanket for me when I was only five so it's about half my size now but it's still my favorite one to use.
Slamming my fist down on the alarm I sat up in bed heading towards the bathroom. Putting my head under the warmth of the shower woke me up from my awkward position I slept in. Unexpectedly I hear thudding coming from outside the bathroom knowing my father is the only one who thuds I scream.
"Dad, don't you dare get any closer to the bathroom!"
"Oh… sorry Flor, I umm was going to the guest bedroom…"
I sighed, got out and clothed myself in jeans and a grey tank top. Walking downstairs I could hear my mum flipping pan cakes so I sat at the counter and rested my head on the cool surface of the bench.
"Someone didn't get any sleep?" She questioned smirking to herself
"I guess it was nerves,"
"I remember the first time I went to district four," She mentioned memories passing back in her mind.
"What was it like?" I smiled shoveling in pancakes.
"I was hated by everyone there so it was intimidating but I caught a glance at the sea side and it's gorgeous, the waves crashing on the shore, the sky so blue. Florrie you'll love it there but I know you'll want to come back to your mother's amazing culinary skills,"
"Sure I will," I joked and washed up my plate. I rushed up stairs and grabbed my bag stepping out the door "See you in a week mum say bye to dad, Haymitch and Kobi for me!" Not waiting for an answer I jogged to the train station with five minutes to spare, so I sat down on a bench and pulled out my phone. I was checking all my messages until one from a unanimous person had texted:
Florrie, nice to know you're going to district four today, don't get caught up in the sea breeze for me

I must have sat there looking dumbfounded because Sarah tapped me on the shoulder laughing to herself. I slipped my phone into my pocket then started for Sarah who was already boarding the train. Sarah and I had a cabin to ourselves since there were only 20 people in our class and 11cabins (The last one is for Ms Portcher).
"So you excited to meet some cute boys?" she asked sitting on the floor of our room.
"Wait a second, I thought you were into that kid that won that math award?"
"Yeah I do but District 4 boys must look ten times better, they have tans! Unlike us who either have olive or pale skin," Laughing at this I took my towel to take a shower before dinner.
The train carriage felt so different to my house, it has rich velvet colors on the walls floor and seats. Sarah stood next to me in the hallway like a statue. She hasn't the house I do, since my Mum and Dad won the 74th Hunger Games they were given a luxury home with more than enough bedrooms. Though since District 12 was the poorest district its quality was the lowest compared to the rest of the other Victor Village homes in other districts. Lin lives in District 7 and her home is twice the height mine is, I can't imagine the size and class of a District 1 house.
Our teacher is waiting at the table along with the greater part of the class. Sarah and I sit in-between Betty and Claire two other girls in our group of students. The dinner we are served is delectable spaghetti which makes the whole class go green once we're done. Ms Portcher sends us to bed immediately looking worse in the stomach than anyone else. When I lay my head on the chilled pillow I start to drift of instantly but the harsh knock on the compartment door alerts me.
Childishly I tottered over to the door and there before me was Aunt Prim. Mother had only told me once about Aunt Prim and said she had the kindest heart and could heal nearly anything. Dad showed me the picture of her in the family book with two blond braids on either side of her head and a ruffled shirt. I might be going crazy if I think I can see her now. Moving closer to her I reached out my hand into the corridor. Does she haunt this train or something? Maybe Aunt Prim died on this exact train.
Abruptly I am jolted awake by Sarah whose face is covered in eye shadows, blushes and a bright pink lipstick. Only a dream I reassured myself.
"What's with all the make-up?" I laughed
"Don't you know what we're doing today?" I thought back to what Ms Portcher said last night can only remember her blabbing on about her new dress she bought. I shrugged my shoulders giving in.
"We're going to the beach before we start our reports and we're going to be there in the afternoon so be ready for some cute boys that are coming to the beach after school!" I almost forgot today is Friday and was sadly reminded that my weekend is going to be spent looking at sand and the habitat. Just what I want to do. I better in enjoy this afternoon otherwise I will regret it. I stood up heading for the shower a huge smile playing lazily on my face.
Once we had breakfast we were allowed to do what we wanted so Betty, Sarah, Claire and I headed for the lounge to watch Television. When we made it there 9 boys were already watching something but that didn't stop Betty and Sarah.
"Hey boys care if we join," Betty seductively proposed
"Sure, come sit here with me," A boy said patting next to him.
We all sat down, me the furthest away from the boys wanting nothing to do with them. Sarah and I shared a look when Betty and the boy started eating each other's faces. Claire, Sarah and I were getting ready to go and prepare for this afternoon when Betty and the boy started moving into the bathroom. I rushed over to Betty and pulled her away from him. "What are you doing? Trying to get pregnant?"
"Excuse me for having someone who wants to be near me!"
I just stared as she returned to kissing him while he was reaching a hand to her chest. I stormed out of the room too disgusted, Betty was known to be the school player or slut but I never would of thought of her too actually do it with someone, I thought she respected herself more but I guess I was wrong. Sarah was brushing Claire's hair while I put product into my short pixie cut. Most people complement me on my short dark hair and it's nice to know you don't have to have long hair to be a girl. In an hour we had all finished getting ready Sarah with blue eye shadows, pink lips and a very contoured face, Claire with dark brown eyes to complement her orange hair and me with mascara.
Hours had passed since this mornings interruption by Betty. The next time I saw her she was bruised, sweaty and had love bites on her neck. I know it's mean for me to say but I can't wait till Ms Portcher catches them both because there are cameras on this train due to the tributes years ago who wanted to commit suicide. Our teacher reminded us that she will be monitoring the cameras 24/7.
Sarah, Claire and I made our way down to the front entrance and waited for time to pass, watching the scenery fly past our eyes. I took notice of the thudding coming from the next room then there was Betty at the door looking flawless in a tight skirt and shirt. When she saw us she burst into tears and ran over to hug me. "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you Florrie, I was distracted by the moment and acted like such a jerk!"
"Shh, it's okay what did he do to you?"
"Once we were in the bathroom he ripped off his shirt and mine and started touching me! I realized I didn't want this and started pulling away for the door but he grabbed me and roped me to the inside of a cubical. From there he made me hurt so much, I was agony, I tried screaming but he taped my mouth. He had his way with me because I didn't listen,"
I just stood there gasping at Betty. "That's rape!"
"I know I told Ms Portcher knowing she'd find out anyway. She ended up sending him back on a train to District 12," she tried to smile but failed and burst into a heavier stream of tears. I patted her on the back and told her about the beach this afternoon.
The next hour was fast and we were finally at District Four!
"Now students I want you to get your luggage and follow me!" Ms Portcher commanded
We all followed her to a tall building that must look over District 4. Sarah and I were again rooming together in the hotel for a week so we unpacked our things into the closet and settled on the bed waiting for our teacher to instruct something else.
Ms Portcher was downstairs her eyes narrowing when I appeared "Ok there is one rule when we get to the beach, it's that you don't do anything that will give us a name. We are representing District 12 currently so keep your teenage behavior low and your mature behavior high got it?" We all nodded and ran for the beach, Sarah and I went to the middle the beach and laid out our towels trying to get a tan. I closed my eyes soaking the sun up as much as possible. Suddenly there's a bell ringing around the whole of District 4. I look at my watch and it says 3:05pm. School must have just finished for the week. Sarah is winking at me as she reapplies her lip gloss. I roll my eyes and lay back down on my towel thinking about what the week will hold for me.
