No Return 3
After all that memorizing, I wrote it on a piece of paper, and went to bed
The next morning I woke up to the annoying voice of Effie yelling at me to get up for breakfast. I got up and showered, and got into a t-shirt and jeans. Then I went downstairs to find eggs and tomato soup waiting for me. I ate three eggs and two bowls of soup. Then, I talked to Haymitch about the arena. What to expect from the Gamemakers. All he told me was to keep my eye on your prey, and stay alive. Then, Effie dismisses us and I run to my room to think. Not about my death, the games, not even about the wonders of the Capitol, which apparently I will be arriving in tomorrow. I thought about Katniss. And how she didn't think about volunteering for me. A real older sister would volunteer for their 12 year old sister. But she has been a jerk since my daddy died. I mean, I get that she was upset. I was too, and my mum was completely DESTROYED. But I thought she loved me enough to sacrifice her life for mine. But I don't care anymore, I'll never see her again, I'll never see anyone from District 12 again. Except Rory. And then I start thinking about Rory. Why did he volunteer for Peeta? I don't even know Peeta, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know Peeta, either. I decide to go ask Rory some questions. I knock on his door and a few seconds later, the door opens to Rory in a tuxedo. I give him a confused look and he tells me he is trying it on for the interview. I just wipe the remaining tears off my face and walk into his room. I get right down to business. "Why did you volunteer for that Peeta guy? Do you even know him? You had a chance of living a ruined it! Wh-" he cuts me off "I did it because I love you!"
