One day before they enter the Arena

''So, this is our final day before we all die huh?'' District 7's Ewan asked.

''Yeah, except for one of us.'' District 12's Colton smirked.

''Why are you so smiley now?'' District 4's Isaac asked. ''Weren't you the one who didn't believe he could win at all?''

''Yes, he was. But now, he's a different Colton. The one that was inside him all along who had been trapped in that depressed body of his.'' District 12's Allison smiled.

''Yeah! I'm gonna win it.'' District 12's Colton shouted confidently.

''Good for you Colton, but you aren't the only one who wants to win.'' District 12's Allison giggled.

''Win is a strong word. Are you sure you would be a winner knowing that 24 other innocent teens were slaughtered by your hand? Then you go back home and you lay down in your bed thinking about what you just did. Is that winning, Colton? Is it?'' District 2's Byron questioned Colton's words.

''I... I-I..'' District 12's Colton responded.

''Don't listen to him Colt. He's just trying to get into your head so he can kill you.'' District 12's Allison said.

''Great idea.'' District 4's Isaac commented.

''I know.'' District 2's Byron laughed.

The two laughed and looked over at Colton.

''I don't think anybody will target you Colton. You're an innocent guy, and you'll probably just die of starvation or something. I'm not trying to be mean, sorry if that offended you. I would team with you to be honest though.'' District 4's Isaac stated.

''Will you? Please?'' District 12's Colton asked abruptly.

''No. I don't partner with anyone besides my district partner 'cuz I don't trust you guys. I can get along with you, but I won't team with you. I certainly won't kill you unless you come after me, plus it seems as if I'm gonna be by myself in these games, I won't really be working with my partner as it seems.'' District 4's Isaac said.

''Hey, where's the two from district 7?'' District 1's Cartier asked.

''I don't know.'' District 1's Pia said while smiling at him.

In District 7 Hotel Room

''Hey, our escort went out to try to get us sponsors. We should get to the main hall of the hotel, the other tributes are waiting for us there.'' District 7's Ewan said.

''Ok, hold on though. I need to fix up.'' District 7's Rosewood said.

It was quiet for a while until Ewan finally oponed up his mouth.

''Rosewood, I like you.'' District 7's Ewan blurted out.

''I like you too. You're a nice guy.'' District 7's Rosewood answered back.

''No, I mean I like like you.'' District 7's Ewan proposed.

''Oh, that's sudden. I mean, you don't really know me Ewan, how can you like me that way?'' District 7's Rosewood asked.

''I know that I met you like a week ago, but you've just been in my mind. When I'm sleeping and stuff, even in the shower. Is that weird?'' District 7's Ewan said.

''Um, yeah it kind of us, but it doesn't matter to me.'' District 7's Rosewood said.

''Listen, I think I love you. You're so perfect you know that.'' District 7's Ewan said.

''No Ewan, I am not perfect. I hate when people say that. Ewan, you don't know me, ok? You can't say that I'm perfect because I'm pretty. I have many flaws, and the word perfect makes my head hurt.'' District 7's Rosewood shouted.

''I'm sorry, it's just that I really like you. I want to like, be with you.'' Ewan said.

''Stop, I can't be thinking about love right now. This is our last day before we enter that arena Ewan, I don't want to get distracted. I'm trying to get out of here alive. You know what, maybe it's not a bad thing to get distracted and die. Who cares right?'' Rosewood said.

''Why would you say something like that?'' Ewan asked.

''Because I'm done Ewan. I'm done with everything.'' Rosewood answered.

''Why would you be done? A perfect girl like you who has the looks, the talent, the voice. You have everything a girl would probably like to have.'' Ewan said.

''Because I'm NOT perfect.'' Rosewood yelled.

''Yes you are, I can name a million reasons why you are.'' Ewan challenged.

''And I can name a million reasons why I'm not.'' Rosewood shouted back.

''Yeah right.'' Ewan laughed.

''I hate my life, I don't like my body type. I'm too nice, I can't defend myself, I hate my family life, my parents don't love me, I have problems with people around me, and I barely talk to anyone. Ewan I am not perfect, I'm just a young district 7 girl who wants to be respected. Do you expect me to be this beautiful young woman who can do anything in the world? I can't use any other weapon besides the ones we were learned to use in district 7. I'm emotional EWAN! I'm not perfect, and I never will be. I have flaws like every other god damn human being.'' Rosewood said as she stomped out the room.

Every tribute finally made their way to the center of the hotel.

''So, twenty four of you. Haha, I can't wait to see the one who comes out alive. Rosewood, you know you're in my top 3 right. Same with you Cartier. Cartier, Pia, Rosewood. I have my bets on you haha. I'm not showing nepotism here, but I just think that you three have the best chances of winning.'' The president stated.

''I'm glad you see my potential.'' District 1's Cartier answered.

''Me too!'' District 1's Pia said.

''I don't think you should bet on me, sir.'' District 7's Rosewood said sadly.

''Why is that?'' The president asked.

''Just don't. I'm having mixed feelings here, and I don't know what to do. I might just collapse one the arena and wait for someone to stab me with a knife.'' Rosewood answered.

''You know that's not true. It's just the emotions that are taking over you. Don't let anyone distract you, that goes for every one of you. Which ever one of you who comes out alive here will earn fame and fortune like no one has ever seen before.'' The president stated. ''Now, go out there and explore the capitol.''

After exploring the capitol the tributes all sat in the middle of the hotel and spoke to each other

''So.. who do you guys think is first dead?'' District 5's Oswald asked.

''You.'' District 1's Cartier answered.

''And why is that?'' Oswald asked.

''Because I'm here to make sure you do.'' Cartier threatened.

''Haha, perfect. The rivalries are already starting.'' District 4's Isaac said.

''Haha, name your top five, go.'' District 6's Jet told everyone.

''Me, Rosewood, Cartier, Isaac, and Allison.'' District 2's Claudia said.

''Oh so your district partners not in the top 5? Ok, well my top five are myself, Rosewood, Ewan only by luck, Isaac, and Pia.'' District 2's Byron stated.

''Senwe, Chisholm, me, Arthur, and Pia.'' District 4's Isaac said.

''Rosewood, why are you quiet? You straight, or is this whole only one survives thing getting into your head?'' District 1's Cartier asked.

''Stop kid, leave me alone?'' District 7's Rosewood answered.

''Kid? We're the same age.'' District 1's Cartier answered.

''Shut up, oh my god..'' Rosewood replied.

''The change of attitude. Maybe it's that time of the month.'' Cartier snickered.

''I'm done. I'm sorry, I just can't do this. The old me needs to get back in here, but if she doesn't then I'll surely die. Listen, I know that some of you think that I'm perfect, but I'm not. Don't believe that I'll win just because I got a high score. That doesn't mean anything. Good night guys, see you in the arena tomorrow.'' Rosewood said.

''Good, if she's gone, then that's a huge advantage for us all. Rosewood would probably win if she wasn't distracted or whatever.'' Cartier sighed in relief.

''Let the games begin.'' District 2's Claudia joked.

The cast went to sleep and tomorrow is the big day. At 2pm, the 1st Annual Hunger Games shall begin. Pia and Cartier are being very kind to each other now, Rosewood is losing her concentration, Senwe isn't being targeted as a threat even though she got a score of 11, and everyone likes Isaac. Will that be a way for him to win, by being liked by everyone? Hunger, Death, Misery, the Hunger Games shall begin.
