Prim

Bright lights shone in my eyes, making it hard to see. Where am I? Where's Katniss and Gale? Where's Posy? I thought, once the lights dimmed. A single person stood beside me, but it was really hard to tell if there was anyone around me. Just as I got used to the light, a high pitched voice squealed in delight.

"Oh, goodness child, you're finally up! I thought the worst had happened!"

"Wha-?"

"Gracious! I almost forgot! Well, Miss Everdeen, you've been selected to be in the Hunger Games! We thought you were gone for good, but thank heavens we found you!"

"Effie? Effie Trinket?" I whispered. I had heard the voice before. I just couldn't pinpoint who it belonged to.

"None other." Effie replied, fixing a loose curl in her vividly pink hair. I stood up, alarmed. How was this a good thing?

"Effie, I hate to break it to you, but this is a mistake! My name wasn't even in the bowls at the time!" I lied, hoping it'd work. I really didn't want to be here. After spending five minutes with the woman, I was going insane.

"Oh, but it was! The odds were most certainly in your favor! Now, come along! Its going to be a big, big, big day!" Effie smiled, grabbing my arm and leading me off the hovercraft. We stopped at an unfamiliar building. Tributes from the other districts were already entering.

"This is the training center! It's where you'll spend most of your time here in the Capitol! Now let's get you up to your room, shall we? You'll meet your mentor and your other fellow tribute, Peeta. Come along then!" Effie squealed, grabbing ahold of my hand and pulling me toward the building.

The interior was much different then the exterior. Inside, the center, was a large lobby, wiith a glass elevator, something I'd never seen before. Effie escorted me in, then pushed a small button labeled '12.' The elevator then whisked us up to the floor, and gently came to a stop, opening smoothly.

"Woah." I said beneath my breath. "This place is impressive." Quickly, I snapped out of it. I wasn't supposed to be here. I was supposed to be with Gale, Posy and Katniss.

"Now heres your room! I trust that everything is to your liking? Very good! I'll see you at dinner!" And with that, she left me alone.

Stepping into the posh room, I felt amazed. Everything was so cool! There was a bathroom with a fancy shower that despensed different types of soaps, body washes, shampoos and conditioners, and even fragrences! Along the wall, a small machine with a mouth shaped opening stood, where you could name any food you'd want and in less then a minute, it'd appear, hot and cooked to perfection.

I decided that after trailing around in the heat and dirt for what seemed like forever, a shower would be best. I removed my dirty clothes, and headed inside of the shower, where it not only made me clean, it even untangled my hair and left a finishing result of beautifully styled hair. I smiled as I looked into the large mirror. I then wrapped a towel around myself and chose some new clothes; a perfectly fitting, light blue sun-dress. I looked fantastic.

I giggled as I turned around and posed in the outfit. I wonder why people would think this is bad? This is paradise! Just as I was about to explore the room, a light knock sounded from the door.

"Primrose? Dinner!"

"Coming!" I shouted, opening the door. Effie then greeted me, and walked me toward the dining area. The room was silent, all eyes fixed against me. A man who looked to be in his late fourties, followed by a sixteen-year-old boy, and what looked like two Capitol residents.

"Hi everyone. I'm Prim." I said quietly, sitting down next to Effie. Effie whispered something to the three adults, while the boy gave me a look of confusion.

"Alright! Let's eat!" Effie annouced as the food arrived.

The food was typical Capitol. Something that I'd probably never eat again in my entire life because of its value. All in all, it was pretty great. At dinner, the man introduced himself as Haymitch, the boy, Peeta, and the two Capitol residents were stylists, named Portia and Cinna.

Haymitch was our mentor, meaning that it was his job to train us and guide us for the next upcoming weeks. I wondered why Effie couldn't just do it, but then I corrected myself. Katniss had told me that Haymitch was the only living victor from District 12. Because there was no one else, he had the job for a lifetime. It didn't seem so bad, however.

"Primrose, Peeta, it's been a long day for both of you. Get some rest, and then we'll start training, first thing in the morning." Haymitch said, leading us away from the table and following Effie, Cinna and Portia. I yawned, then walked back to my room. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep in the dress, not even bothering to change into the neatly set pjamama's. (A/N, did I spell that right?) In an instant I was knocked out, having one of the best nights of sleep in my entire life.

Ok, so about the last chapter... Sorry it was short. I'm running very low on Hunger Games material, due to the fact that I read the book over two months ago. Hopefully it'll come back to me. :D
