I look around, wondering why it's so empty here, do most people think that the reaping is at a different time? where did they go? What the hell is going on here?
my arms are shaking, and I'm getting second thoughts about whether I should be here. I turn to leave, but Chace stops me.
"And where do you think you're going?" he asks excitedly.
"I have to pee." I lie. just need to get out of here before I make a huge mistake.
"Well okay, the bathroom's that way, and there's a screen in there so you can watch while you o your thing." I smile and clap him on the back, but inside I'm freaking out. I think he senses my shaking, through his own buzz.
"You okay, Aaron? you seem a little tense."
"Yeah, just a little tense." I say. more like a lot of tense. I make my way to the door, only to be shoved back inside. I can't escape. I made my way over to the bathroom, just in time too, Chace looks at me with reluctance. I think he's caught on my escape plan though.
"And the males," the man in the front says in his thundering voice. " Aaron Picker, and Chace Hirelings. Please come to the front and let the world see our greatest tributes from the Capital. I really didn't have to pee, so I head over there, and go up the stage. I can see that Chace is beaming, but I'm getting a bad feeling about things. I force a smile, and I'm surprised that it looks genuine, which momentarily takes away the feelings behind that smile and make them real.
we aren't ushered into a justice building since we don't have one. we skip straight to the train ride, which I am told will not last long. being a capital kid, or so they call us, I've brought enough money to get my escort to tell me where the arena is.
"It's in a place that used to be called Africa. It's no longer inhabited by humans, but the wildlife there is now flourishing, as it was dying and receding in the past. This is all I can tell you, as I'm already risking my life." I smile, feeling happy about my position. I know that Africa is hot, so I know that I'll need to get some water as soon as possible in the arena. Others will have to plan their way through the first few days, but I'll be ready. I am led to my compartment, and go straight to sleep, three hours is a long time of doing nothing.
I wake up and look at the time, 2:30. I've only slept an hour and a half. I go to another car, and notice that the other tributes are watching the recaps of the reaping. I can see that most of them don't like us 'Capital Breeds'. That's okay, when they're eliminated, they'll know that we're all superior.
