Chapter 7- Train rides Pt. 1
I will do short train rides for the districts I've already done. The rest will be a bit more detailed so that you can know more about the other tributes. I also will alternate P.O.V.s for each district's tributes.

Jay Lenak
I immediately went to my room on the train. I wanted to change out of my reaping clothes and into something decent. I found some beige colored pants and a red t-shirt. Then, I flopped onto my bed. I was felt happy and shocked that I had been chosen as a tribute for the games. I still remember the training sessions I had been going through to practice for the Hunger Games if I would ever be chosen.
"Good morning Jay! Ready to train?" A trainer called. I nodded. I walked over to the knife section and threw some at the targets. They all landed near the bull's-eye but had sunk in very deep. I had to yank them out to retrieve them. I stayed at that station for about an hour before moving somewhere else. I decided to try some spear throwing. A girl was indulged in throwing them at moving targets. Then she turned and looked at me. "You want to try? Trust me, throwing a spear is not as easy as throwing knives." I look at her. "Yeah, I know." I say. She just rolls her eyes. I think she's 17. I guess she's been training here longer than me. She tosses me a spear and says, "The name's Amber. What's yours?" I position my arm to throw. "Jay." I throw the spear and it completely misses the target. Amber laughs and picks it up. "You throw it like this." A few weeks later we become slight friends.
"Jay, it's time for dinner!" A voice jolts me out of my memory and I stand up to go and eat. I guess I should get to know Amber more since we're going to have to be allies pretty soon.
When I eat, I meet my mentor. His name is Hickory Devon and him and I have a lot in common. I have a feeling that my mentor is really going to make a difference for me in winning the hunger games.
Razor
I watch through the window as my home grows smaller and smaller. Then, it disappears completely. I turn around and see that my plate is now full of food. I realize that I'm starving and consume everything on my plate. "Can I have more?" I ask. Before I know it, I am full of delicious food.
As I look up, I see Petris, the girl who had been chosen, staring at me. I scowl. "What?" She furrows her brow and says, "Razor, what's your last name?" I guess she wasn't paying attention when I was chosen. "Oh, I don't know, maybe it's I don't have a last name but someone wasn't paying attention." I snap.
"Sheesh! I was just wondering!" She exclaims. I take a deep breath and calm down. I hate it when people ask me what my last name is. "Sorry." I apologize. "I come from a community home. I don't know what my last name is." Petris sighs. "It's fine, I'm in shock too." Now, I'm just annoyed with her. I had actually thought that she had potential to be my ally, but now I know that she's one of those kinds of people who are always feeling sorry for others.
I abruptly get up and walk quickly to my room. Then, I slam my door. I can just hope that I will sleep through the whole train ride.
Ellie Pascal
I was in awe when I entered the train. It was so elegant and there were plates full of food! Even though Wyatt and I were in shock, we both went straight to the table. "I can't believe that there's so much food!" I said to my brother. I eagerly sat down and started to stuff myself with the delicious foods. I saw an attendant look at me disgustedly. I glared at him and kept eating. If he thinks that I have bad manners, then he should try living in district three.
When I finally finished eating, I went to my room and closed the door. I made sure no one was watching and slipped a hand into a secret pocket in my dress. Then I pulled out my token. It was a piece of copper that had been carved into the shape of an E. "Ellie." I said out loud. I heard footsteps and quickly shoved the token into the pocket.
Luckily, no one knocked. I looked out of the window at the scenery. It was all a blur since the train was moving so fast. But the train had a lulling feeling to it, and before I knew it, my eyelids fluttered shut.
Kevin Jink
I pumped my fist when I stepped on the train. I couldn't believe it! I had actually been chosen in the reaping! I smirked when I saw that girl Natasha. She was obviously a weak link that I could easily take out. Even though I only knew one other tribute besides myself, I had a feeling that I could win. "Hello tributes." I jumped and saw a woman and a man sitting in two cushioned seats. "We're your mentors. I'm Aster Glascow and this is Larson Vine. Natasha, I'm your mentor." I grinned. "Nice to meet you. I would want to get to know you more but I am so tired." Larson smiled. "No problem."
"Don't forget to come over here to eat dinner!" Lilian called from the other car. "I'm not hungry." I called back. Lilian, as always, looked ridiculious. I wonder how she can eat with all of that lipstick on.
I changed into some cleaner clothes and took a shower. It's still hard to believe that the train contains a shower. I knew I would need my strength for tomorrow, so I climbed into bed and tried to fall asleep. No luck. I squeezed my eyes shut and forced myself to fall asleep. sooner or later, I finally did go to sleep.
