I try and remember all the scores in my head.

Emily, district 1, 11.

Lachlan, district 1, 12.

Charlotte, district 2, 10.

Lucas, district 2, 9.

Ellie, district 3, 10.

Daniel, district 3, 11.

Ruby, district 4, 12.

Niall, district 4, 11.

Top scores. How can I beat them? The district 5 tributes both have lower scores. 6 for the girl and 8 for the boy. The district 6 tributes both have 7. The district 7 girl gets a 5 and the boy gets an 11. District 8 and 11 get 5s and 6s. The district 9 girl gets a 9 and the boy gets a 7. The district 10 tributes both get 10. Now it's our turn.

Sarah, district 12, 8.

Nicholas, district 12, 9.

"Well done guys," Danielle says. "That's pretty good. Now go get your outfits on."

The stylists take us away, back to our rooms. I slip on my aqua coloured dress. There's a black bow at the waist and it comes with a black cardigan. The dress is knee length and easy to move in.

We meet Danielle and Dale in the lounge and then head of to the main building of the city. It's not far away. We meet all the other tributes there. Danielle, Dale and the stylists leave us and sit down with the audience.

"Hey," Lucas greets us. "Good scores."

"They're horrible scores," I reply. "Well, at least mine were."

"We're all going to work together so we should be alright," Lucas says. "And they weren't bad."

Suddenly I hear the new interviewer's voice.

"Hello," he says. "I'm Rik Huis. I will be your interviewer tonight."

All of the tributes quickly line up in order side stage. Nick and I are last. Rik is still talking.

"Let's get our first interview started. Please welcome Emily Todos."

There's a large applause. Emily leaves side stage and sits in the seat next to Rik.

"So, Emily, were you happy with your score?" Rik asks.

"Of course I was," she replies, smiling to the crowd. Her orange hair is in ringlets and is very shiny.

She's in a golden dress. "Getting an eleven is pretty amazing. It makes me feel like I actually might have a chance at winning. Only one or two people can win so, getting that score makes me more confident."

"That's very good to hear. Tell me, have you got any allies?"

"Yes I do. My district partner and I have decided to become allies. There were a few people that I wanted to make allies with but, I don't know if I can fully trust them, so I'm sticking with my district partner, Lachlan."

"Did you know Lachlan before you both were chosen to compete in the Hunger Games?"

"Yes, I was friends with his older brother so I got to know Lachlan a bit."

"Thank you, please put your hands together for Emily, district 1!"

Next is the district 1 boy. He tells us about how he's ready for anything and although he may be young he is still strong enough to win.

The district 2 girl who I found out was the age sixteen, is next. She tells us that she doesn't have any allies but she doesn't care because she knows she can win by herself.

Lucas is next. He walks out onto the stage and sits in the seat.

"How did you feel when you were picked at the reaping?" Rik asks.

"Well, like most people I was hoping I wouldn't get picked," Lucas replies. "It was a shock and a horrible feeling. I don't want to kill anyone in the arena. It's wrong. It's just so stupid! Why can't we all just be friends, not enemies?"

I'm surprised. He seems like he's having a meltdown.

"Have you got any allies?"

"Yes, nice allies. Not my district partner though. She's too stubborn to even want her district partner as an ally. Nick and Sarah from district 12 are my allies. The nicest tributes here."

The crowd gasps. Lucas seems to have calmed down.

"Why Nick and Sarah as allies?"

"Everyone may think that they have no chance. They do. I've seen them. And does it matter if I make allies with them? They're nice, and only one or two people win. I may as well spend my last days with those who are caring and the nicest friends ever."

"Thank you, please give a big round of applause for Lucas Nil, from district 2."

Hardly anyone claps. Lucas hurries off the stage. I watch as he literally runs past me. Nick looks at me.

"Biggest onstage meltdown I've seen," he says. "You think he'll be alright?"

"I hope so," I reply. "If he isn't, what will we do?"

"I don't know."

We watch the other interviews take place.

The district 3 girl Ellie tells us how confident she is. The tone of her voice scares me.

The district 3 boy Daniel seems so calm you wouldn't have thought he was even competing in the Hunger Games.

Next is the district 4 girl, Ruby.

"How has your couple of days been here?" Rik asks.

"The opening ceremony was good. So was training, apart from the girl from district 12 annoying me. She thinks she can just come and practice with me. I don't want her practicing with me. She thinks she's so good. Trust me. She'll be one of the tributes I'll love to kill."

My heart pounds. Some of the tributes look at me. I'm starting to freak out. Nick shakes me.

"You've got us, I'll be there to protect you, so will Lucas," he says.

"But," I start muttering. "You could die. We're there for each other. Not just for me. Deal?"

"Deal."

The district 4 boy doesn't appear scared about the Hunger Games.

Next is district 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

It's my turn now.

"Please welcome, Sarah Losel from district 12!" Rik announces

I walk onto the stage and sit down.

"There were quite a few sad faces at the reaping. Can you tell us about it?" he asks.

"A few?" I enquire. "I only noticed my sister. We were very close. We were the last people of our family. We love each other very much. She was always there for me. She didn't want to lose me."

"How do you feel about competing?"

"I'm scared, but I know that I have a chance of winning. I'll do my best."

"Do you have any allies?"

"Nick and Lucas. They're my allies. We will be there for each other during the games so we should get pretty far in the games."

"That's good to hear. Put your hands together for Sarah representing district 12."

I leave the stage and wait backstage. My heart is beating fast. Nick is on the stage having his interview. I can't seem to stay focused on him. I'm too worried about the games tomorrow, Ruby killing me and Lucas's meltdown.

Soon the interviews are over and we are taken back to the tribute building. I wash my makeup off and put my hair back to normal before trying to get some sleep.
