Day 1- Hoohliolo

Esmeralda Artiza

District 1- Hoohliolo

I stood awkwardly, wondering if any of my tribe would like me. Would I be the first sent out? Me and Drake talked a bit on the train but we weren't exactly best friends forever.

He wouldn't hesitate to vote for me.

"Okay everyone! Anyone with a red streak in their hair go through the door on the left and anyone with a blue streak go through to the right!" A chirpy looking woman in a dress called out.

My hair had a blue streak so I walked over to the right door.

11 others were walking with me. At least 10 of these people would be dead in the next few months, 11 if you included me.

One thing I was happy about was that out clothes didn't have our district on. Unless they recognised me from the chariots, their first opinion of me wouldn't be the mayor's girl from One.

"Why are you carrying a trumpet?" I cautiously ask a Caramel skinned boy with blue tips. To my relief he smiles and pushes it to his lips.

I don't recognise the tune he plays but I- and really everyone except one guy seem to enjoy it.

"I'm Esmeralda," I say, sticking out my hand.

"Kevlar from District 8," he shakes it and I smile, adjusting my glasses.

Drake Braddock

District 1- Hoohliolo

I can't help but roll my eyes at Esmeralda sucking up to the boy from 8. It's not bad to try and make friends of course but she should have consideration to who she makes friends with.

"Are you from District 1?" I spin around to see a guy about my age.

"Yeah," I say. Unlike Esmerelda I'm not ashamed to admit it.

"I'm Jonas Hertz," he says, "From 2."

I look at him suspiciously. "How did you know I was from 1?"

I expect him to look annoyed but he just smiles. "You walk like a career and you don't have the look of someone from 4. And, I've seen your Reaping."

I never realised I had a particular walk but now I see it. I compare myself to the girl from 8. I walk with my head higher, my back straighter and my shoulders further back.

"We careers should stick together," Jonas says, apperently not caring that I didn't volunteer. "Me you and Mira." He nods towards a short girl, scowling in the corner.

I nod my head and we go to talk to her.

Jonas Hertz-

District 2- Hoohliolo

Me and Drake go and talk to Mira. He may not have volunteered but everyone in the career districts should stay together- less chance of being the first to die.

Esmeralda obviously doesn't want to associate with us and to be honest, I don't blame her. It would be putting an uneeded target on her back. Me, Drake and Mira all look like Careers, even with Mira being pretty short, but her? Not so much.

"Hey!" I say to her as confidently as possible, "Mira right?" She nods and I carry on. "As all three of us are careers, I thought it would be best if we trained together."

I don't attempt to flirt with her like I might do to a normal girl. She probably wouldn't like it and making her uncomfortable isn't my plan.

"Yeah, whatever," she says, "We should start now whilst everyone else is trying to play best friends."

We walk over to the weapons and I almost start drooling. In the least creepy way possible, these are the nicest axes I've ever seen.

Mira Murray

District 4- Hoohliolo

At first I rolled my eyes at the two drooling over weapons but then I saw the knives. They were a lot better than the ones from 4 honestly.

I would never insult the academy, not after it took us in until we could pay them back, but the weapons weren't always the best. They spent too much money on tridents and ignored other weapons slightly.

It's not that I can't fight with a trident, but I prefer knives, throwing knives to be exact.

Drake was looking intensely at the javelins and Jonas was interested in axes. No one else was training at all. It was like they thought they wouldn't need any skills to complete the stupid frigging challenges.

Us three better not be the only ones holding the team up. I wasn't going to die because my team couldn't be bothered to train.

The only other person even attempting to train was a dark haired boy and he was fucking it up so badly. He was trying to use a punching bag but his hands and feet weren't positioned right.

We trained separately for a bit, each with our favourite weapon, but then a noise started up.

I whirled around to see someone playing a trumpet.

Reiko Shimoto

District 6- Hoohliolo

I couldn't help but laugh at seeing the girl from 4 whirl around when Kevlar started to plant his trumpet. She glared at me for it but the look of shock on her face for that split second was funny.

Until you worked out what Kevlar was playing.

"Is that a funeral march?" Esmeralda asked, seemingly in shock.

Kevlar laughed slightly bitterly, "Correct I guess. It seemed appropriate."

No one could argue with that. Most- if not all would be dead.

"So," said the girl with bright red hair- Cat I think. "What are your tokens?"

I was standing in a group of four, with Cat, Kevlar and Esmeralda. I didn't know how I'd gotten into this but it wasn't like it was a bad group. Honestly it didn't seem like a bad tribe. There were too many males, 7 to 5, but it could be worse.

"Well," said Kevlar, "I'm pretty sure my token is obvious."

I rolled my eyes. "I have this," I showed them my piece of wood with a pretty carving of a sun.

Esmerelda rolled up her sleeve to show a bracelet with a load of charms.

"My necklace," Cat said. I hadn't noticed it before but she was wearing something. It wasn't as elaborate as Esmerelda's but it was still nice.

Ronan Longwind

District 7- Hoohliolo

Not for the first time, even in the past few minutes, I wondered how Sabrina was doing. Everyone else seemed to be talking to someone and I felt out of place. The only person in the Capitol I'd talked to so far was Aspen and we weren't in the same tribe.

Stupid blue streak.

I wasn't close to her but at least I'd talked to her once.

Now we were on opposite teams. My team winning a challenge would put her at risk of death.

The tributes with their district partner on the same team were the lucky ones. To meme it worse, our team had 3 definite careers and even though the girl from one was trying to pretend she wasn't, she still was one of the biggest threats.

It wasn't that I didn't want to make friends, I wanted to get home, to help Sabrina, I just didn't know how to go up to someone and talk to them, knowing my survival meant their death.
