Effie and Haymitch get off the train first and start walking and then Effie gives us a nod. As I step off Alexander puts his arm around my waist, I struggle but his hand won't move so I let him stay as he is after a few minutes. People "oooh" and "awww" at my dress and I get asked to give them a twirl quite a bit. But Alex is always keen to get his arm back around me. One of the interviewers asks me what my relationship status is and I really don't know how to reply so Effie says that I can't reveal any secrets until the interview with Caesar. Instead people just say to Alex that he should ask me on a date and he replies, flashing them all big smiles.

"Of course, I was thinking of that on the train up!"

After I give another twirl I notice that Alex is talking to the Capitol folk, so I see this as a time to meet the other tributes. District 1 and 2s' tributes seem really snobby and only care for themselves but I do find nicer personalities in the tributes from District 11 and the boy from 5, so I decide to talk to them. The girl from District 11 is 16 like me but the two boys are 17 we are laughing so loud that everyone can hear us and Alex rushes over to meet them at the smoothie bar,

"I hear you two are in a relationship" says Adam – from D5

"Yes!" say Rochelle and Martin – from D11

"Well I would definitely not call it that!" I pronounce clearly.

"Wouldn't you sweetheart?" Alex says cockily "I most certainly would!"

"But we aren't so you can leave me alone for more than five minutes." I say back, about to snap and have a go at him.

"Awe their first argument!" Rochelle says.

"Look I don't care about him, I am starting to not like him and we have argued quite a bit so if you don't mind, lay off! Will you?" I shout but not loud enough so everyone can hear me.

"We're sorry!" They say in unison.

"No its my fault, I just get all worked up about boys and stuff like that because I have never really been in a relationship..." I tell them honestly.

"Really?"

"True."

"I wouldn't have guessed!" Replies Rochelle very genuinely.

"Can I speak to you a minute" Alexander asks.

"Yes." I reply

"I take it you don't like me, let alone love me..."

"I never said that" I say quietly

"You didn't have to sweetheart!"

"Well do you like me?" I ask, not expecting much back.

"No." He takes a deep breath. "I don't like you! I really like you!"

"You really like me? But how can you like someone like me?" I say in shock.

"You're really feisty and fiery, you're funny so of course I like you as a friend."

"I don't know what to say…" I say nervously as I didn't have many friends back in District 12.

"You don't need to say anything." He says sadly.

He tries to lean closer to me as the lights dim but a very loud voice cuts him off and says,

"These are your new tributes… now we have seen what they look like, we can see what they move like. Hit the music!"

I whisper to Alex, "I can't dance though…"

"I know" He replies.

"What?" I ask

"I was trying to do that whole romantic thing but it really didn't work! We have more room here than on the Capitol Train right!"

"Where is this going?"

"Let's go and walk around the Capitol and see the sights there is to see!"

"Are you out of your mind? That's just asking for trouble!"

"Come on sweetheart, please?!"

"Alright but if we get in trouble it was your idea!" I laugh.

"Sure darling." He replies while smirking.

"Stop calling me that!" I huff... and so our adventure begins.
