A/N Here is chapter 3!
I dedicate this chapter to my brother because I finally got him hooked onto Hunger Games.
Chapter 3, Zack Gregory, District 10 boy
"Ladies and gentleman please be seated. The interviews are about to begin." Oh great. I don't get why they make us do interviews, it's just plain stupid.
"Alright everyone gather around," a woman behind the stage says. We all obey and I can't help laughing because we look like we should be going to a circus. I mean seriously, the girl from my district named Rocky is wearing a dress made out of rocks. That's pathetic.
"I have the order of interviews so if you could all line up according to your districts," she says quickly. Honestly, does that lady ever take the time to breathe? Despite how stupid she sounded, we all fall into line- the girl tribute then the boy. In the end the line looks like this-
Kalla Rinn
Rocket East
Lillian Rosewood
Aidan Vec
Iceabell Bloom
Ettubri Neem
Kat Morre
Axel Blaze
Ash Fran
Skylar Fernandez
Ellie Farrow
Ben Kaller

Me (Zack Gregory)
Keri Alts
Matt Steen
Alaina Thomsen

and Edric Haller.
"Alright everyone get on stage!" We all fall silently to our seats as the lights in the audience begin to dim. A man walks on state and the crowd goes wild.
"Welcome everyone! My name is Roman Dell and I will be conducting the interviews for you all tonight." Another loud cheer erupts throughout the crowd and I roll my eyes. This is going to be a long night.
"So Zack, what is it like knowing that you get to be a part of the 1st Hunger Games in almost 30 years?" Roman asks me.
"I didn't know it was that important," I reply. He laughs and I sigh. He tries way too hard.
"You don't seem too excited." I decide to change the subject.
"So what has it been like for you to come and work at the Capitol?" I ask him.
"Oh it has been wonderful." I tune him out but he doesn't notice and he just keeps talking. I'm telling you, these Capitol people are insane.
Before I know it, the buzzer is going off signaling that my time is up and I finally get to go away from that man.
Three interviews later, a girl named Alaina Thomsen walks up. I saw her in training, and she was the only other person in training besides me that could really throw a spear.
"Hello Alaina," Roman says happly.
"Roman."
"So what is your opinion about the Games coming back?" he asks her.
"I think it's a wonder thing. We all need a bit of blood and gore to awake us from our dreams," she replies. Suck up.
"Well that's the spirit! Tell me, what has been your favorite part of the Capitol?"
"That's hard to answer, I love the Capitol. It's what binds us and keeps us going. It's our light in a storm." The crowd is eating her up. Can't they see that behind her short, purple, sequenced dress and her pleasing comments that she is just a scared little girl going into her death? I mean seriously, she can't be taller than five foot two.
"With such a great spirit, you must have someone special back home."
"That's a secret," she says mysteriously. Then she winks, she WINKS!
"Come on, you can tell us," he urges.
"Well, let's just say he doesn't like being in the spotlight. So to make him happy, I won't expose him." Kill me now she just blew kisses towards the camera.
I am beyond happy when her buzzer finally goes off and she walks back to her seat. Just three more interviews to go.
The boy from District 12 seems out of it during his interview and I can tell his mind is in space. But then Roman mentions Alaina and I see something in his eyes. Oh god, he likes her! You have got to be kidding me! By the time the interviews are over, I feel about ready to barf.
Actually, I feel ready to kill.
A/N Alaina...I just added one more person to the small list of people that hate you. Please review!
