I'm so nervous. Never mind nervous, more like scared half to death. Its time to see what our scores are. I sit in the living room area with my stylist, Thera's stylist, Ducain, and Lentle. We all stare at the TV and listen to what Caesar has to say.

"From District 1, Byle scores an...9" Of corse, always giving those Careers the high scores. "Sparkle scores a...10" It seems as if Sparkle has outdone her partner. "District 2 Skene scores a...10" No surprise there. "Valeria scores a...10" I swallow wondering what Saffra's score will be. I hope its lower than mine. The male from District 3 passes, he won't be much trouble. "Saffra scored a...10" My stomach starts feeling sick. " District 4 Leonis scores a...7" My eyes widen, a Career has never scored that low in the last twenty years. The Careers are gonna kill him for sure. I remind myself to breath in and out as my turn comes up. "District 5 Neal scores a...9" I smile hearing what he said, all my butterflies gone. "Thera scores a..." I lean towards the TV. "10" everyone congratulates us on our scores, but I continue to stare at the TV. I figure out that the creepy girl with bangs over her eyes from District 7 scored a 8, Her name is Journee or something. And Hash from District 9 scored a 9. I see my competition is tuff this year.

"Aw! Look how well you two did!" say Lentle.

"I have to say, I'm impressed." Ducain comments. The cheering and clapping soon stop once we hear Caesars voice again.

"But." He says. But? What but? "This year was promised to be the best yet, and it definitely is." We all freeze. "If you didn't know, the tributes went through a test. And in this test, they will see which tribute they match up with. And by match-up I mean..." He makes this funny face that means these matches are in the romance section.

"Oh shit! Katri is gonna kill me!" I yell.

"What the hell are they thinking? Getting us to be friends... or more... then make us kill each other! What idiots!" Thera says and after the attention goes back to the screen.

"Now, we will see who is who's match. We will be basing this off of the ladies." He arches an eyebrow. "Here are the matches." District 1, Sparkle and Leonis get matched, its strange because of how strong she is and how weak he is. District 2, Valeria and Skene get matched up. District 3, Saffra gets matched up with me. Wait, what! Oh shit, oh shit, shit! Dear Lord, why me? I have to get matched up with the hottest tribute? And I have a girlfriend! Calm down Neal, just calm down. District 4, the girl, Mager gets matched up with the boy from 8. Thera gets matched up with Byle. I hear her curse as she sees their names cross the television screen. Journee gets matched up with no one, weird. Hash is matched to two tributes. It keeps going on until District 12 girl shows up then its over.

"So that raps up all the matches." Says Caesar flashing his white smile "And a little reminder that we never told our tributes about this, so this is all new to them."

"It must have took them by shock." says Claudius.

"Of corse it is! And before we go, I'm pleased to say that instead of all the tributes doing their interviews tomorrow, President Snow has decided that there will be a dinner party for the tributes to mingle and such, then the interviews will be done the following day." After that, Thera's stylist turns off the TV.

"This is gonna be interesting." says Ducain.

"Lentle...Did you know about this?" Asked Iberis.

"You see, the gamemakers wouldn't allow me to tell you about this until the day of the scores." Lentle smiles.

"So let me get this straight." Thera started "that test was for this, correct?"

"Yes." She replied.

"And by 'Match' they mean..." Thera trails off.

"Yes, that's what they mean."

"Dammit!" And outburst from Thera. "And what about you? Don't you have anything to say about this?" She turns to me.

"I'm just... thinking about how Katri is gonna react to this."

"To be honest, I think she will understand. Maybe..." says Lentle.

"Oh yeah, thanks. That just makes me feel so much better"

"Hey, be grateful you didn't get matched up with Byle." says Thera taking a her seat beside me and rest her head on the couch and closes her eyes. "This just makes me more stressed out."

The room stays silent for a while then Ducain tells us to head back to our rooms. I head to my room and plop down on my bed. I let out a sigh and close my eyes and start thinking.

Okay, so if I don't do anything with Saffra Katri won't get mad. I hope.

For the rest of the day I just wanna relax for a bit and maybe get some time for myself.
