The next week was excruciating. The first day of Katniss' absense sucked. I woke up in the morning and went to our meeting spot in the woods. It just depressed me to be there without her, so I immediatly got up and went hunting. That day the Hob had been very quit. Katniss maight not have been the most cheery person in the world, but her not being there just seemed wrong.
Finally the opening ceromonie came. Everybody gathered in the square to watch on the big screen. My mother, Rory, Posy, Prim, and I all stood together. At first it was pretty loud, but once the seal of Panem appeared on the screen everybody fell silent. President Snow said a little bit about how the ceromonie would work. Each pair of Tributes would come out. Two Gamemakers would announce the Tributes' names and their District. District 1 rolled out looking as repollsive as ever. The girl, who name I don't remember, wore a tight fitting dress that feel above the knee covered in diamonds. The boy, I also don't remember what his name was, wore a be-dazeled white shirt and matching pants. Over all, you couldn't look at the pair to long without blinding yourself. District 2 made an appearance next. Clove, the female Tribute, had long black hair and a olive, oval face. She had dark eyes and matching eyebrows. She was wearing a simple black dress that fell exactly at the knee. at had small pebbles spread across it. On her wrist was a rock, similiar to a coursage. Cato, District 2's male Tribute, wore a plain black suit with rocks spread across it similiar to Clove's dress. He had dirsty blond hair and starch white skin.
District 3 was a train wreck that year. Both Tributes wore tight jump suits adorned with electronic pads. Over all the two of them looked like the inside of a computer. Not something you wanted to remember. District 4 had some pretty interesting and original costumes that year. The female Tribute wore a fishing net beautifully woven from thick rope. Her stylist had drapped it over her so it flowed just so. They male Tribute wore a suit made of what looked like fishing line. Very interesting. District 5 and 6 being industrial wore factory looking clothes. District 7 wore clothes made completely of pine needles. District 8 wore clothes with pictures of clothes on them. District 9 wore black and white mimicking a cow. District 11's female Tribute, Rue, wore a dress made of corn shucks. It probably would have looked rediculous on anyone older, but it made her look really cute. District 11's male Tribute, Thresh, wore a suit with berries strung around it.
You could feel the tension in the air now. Everybody stood completely still. How Katniss and Peeta did in the Opening Ceromonie would make or brake them. Finally we saw them come out and I know I fell to the ground. Katniss looked amazing in a tight jump suit. But it wasn't just a that, it was on fire! Her and Peeta stole the show. But it wasn't just there clothes. They had been holding hands. Something no tributes has ever done. I should've been extatic, but I felt strange. I envied Peeta, I think. I wanted to be there with Katniss. I didn't like the way Peeta was acting with her. I was jealous.
