Don't count me out

Chapter 2

I was sitting in my room looking out the window when I got a first glimpse of the Capitol, I had avoided lunch and breakfast with Cato, Enobaria and Marion. Marion had come and given me a plate both times and I did eat so I wouldn't starve going into the Capitol. I saw all of this stuff that I don't even know how to describe, they had cars which we got to see rarely, if ever and the people seemed to be all different colors, no one looked old or fat here and they all looked different.

The minute the train stopped Marion came and got me, I was lead out to the door where Cato was standing. Why did I have to exit with him? The doors opened and Marion and Enobaria lead the way, I followed them and looked at all of the cameras and reporters. Cato ignored the cameras so I decided to do the same and just look straight ahead. When we got to the safety of a building we were separated and I met my stylist. My stylist seemed to be just as insane as my escort, his skin seemed to be purple and his hair matched, my stylist team went right to work fixing me up and when they were done my stylist put me in a gladiator outfit. That wasn't the end of it though; he put my hair in a helmet type thing too. I looked and felt like a dork but thankfully Cato was wearing the same thing, we were put on a chariots and then sent out, first when district one and then we went out with our grey horses. I was surprised that they didn't have anything strange added to him like glitter and such, we stood there emotionless and then we got a glimpse of district 12. They were on fire, not only were they on fire but they were holding hands and the girl was blowing kisses out to the capitol citizens. The cameras lingered the longest on them, it was driving me insane and when we were all lined up and the cameras were going over us Cato tapped my shoulder and I thought he wanted to tell me something so I looked at him and he kissed me. That surely got the cameras attention; it got everyone else's attention too. When he pulled away from me I was blushing and kind of just looked away, I saw myself on camera before they went to president snow, my cheeks were red and my eyes definitely looked confused. I just couldn't believe he kissed me.
