Chapter 4: Embarrassment

Me, Ada, the stylist, Siria, and Aelius, had made our way to our chariot, where my stylist had made some last minute changes to our outfits. Ada's

costume

designer, Felix had taken our hands and helped us on our chariot. I looked around at all the other tributes and saw all the costumes. Then I caught sight of the

saddest, rarest thing. First I saw a stringy like dress and suit, when I realized it wasn't string, it was wheat. Both tributes from 9 were twelve and thirteen year

olds. They looked so sad and down. If they agree, I want to be alliances. Lucretia had snapped in my face to get my attention, I must have dazed off.

"Remember to smile and wave, and maybe even kiss at the crowd or something deep like that!" she said as I she told me before. Since we were from 3 we

would be near the front. The room's lights went off and the doors had swung open.

1, 2, then us, I kept my head up and waved, but I stopped once we exited the room. There were at least a million people in the stands. Ada nudged me and

told me to continue to wave. I slowly started up again. By the time I had started up again, we had come to the end; I must have been looking at the people for

a while. Then the young president of Panem, who was appointed seven years ago, President Snow had risen to a high up podium. "Welcome, tributes, we

welcome you. Happy Hunger Games and May the odds be ever in your favor!" It was strange; he had a white beard that made him look old even though he

was in his mid-thirties. After that "speech", the horses had led us into another big room where our stylist met us.

They had complimented us and told me and Ada we had done a good job. Aelius had then led us into a glass elevator to take us to our suite. The ride was less

than a minute since we were on the third floor. We entered our room and I gasped, the room has bigger than both of the floors of my house combined. The first

room we entered was the dining room a large table with white matching chairs with an orange band on the side. (go here to see it: /odhrvxs). Aelius

had

guided us to our rooms. I sat on the white bed, with the orange band at the fringe of the comforter. There was a remote on the white end table. I picked it up

and pressed a button. The wall I was sitting in front of turned into a city with capitol people walking through it, I pressed the button again, a desert- a forest- a

glacier- a fire place- a train station, which brought up memories of my brothers. I turned off the wall and got prepared for dinner.

The bathroom was high tech, most likely made by 3 I washed my face, this time there were buttons for exactly what temperature you want the water to be, I

pressed 70 degrees, room temperature. I grabbed the satin cloth and washed my face, then changed into a light jacket and some black pants. I went to the

dining table and waited for everyone else to join me. Two Avoxes started to serve the table. It was quite awkward since they both couldn't talk. So I just

watched them serve the table. Both Ada and Aelius had made their way to the table. Five minutes later the prep team and Siria had too. "MMMMMM, goose",

Cai had said, "But I rather have fish." "Shut up and eat" Eustace said. We all began to dig in. "So tomorrow morning you guys will train in that building." She

had pointed to the building that was directly out the window, "Araya will help you with that. Did you know that the head trainer is passed through the

generations? In fact all the jobs are. From the master of ceremonies to the judges for the training. All of course except head game maker. " Both I and Ada

shook our heads. After dinner we watched the parade again. I was embarrassed to see myself. Afterwards Siria made us go to bed to get some rest for

tomorrow.
