Chapter 7
Tom
As Tom and his designer, mentor, and partner tribute were waiting in front of the screen for the results on the training tests, they were eating dinner. A juicy goose was dripping from his plate, while his drink fuzzed in the cup, the table was filled with food of all tastes, bread and cheese, steak beef and cooked lobsters with a dripping brown sauce sizzling on top, a whole chicken with cream sauce and tomatoes, wine and beer and soda was there everywhere, just name it and you have it.
The results finally came in, they started with district 1, Bale, 6 points, Leena 7 points. District 2, Barge 4 points, stalla 8 points. District 3, Rimson 10 points, Annie 9 points. "Those are going to be tough opponents, district 3." Said Brian, they agreed. District 4, Arry 6 points, Strawberry, 8 points. It went on and on and they heard their name. District 10, Tom, 7 points. " oh that's not bad at all Tom" Brian said. Irri 6 points. "that's not bad either" Brian tried reassuring her. District 11, Ciren 8, sara 4. District 12, Wooli 7, tresha 9.
After the results, Farq announced a special message will be announced by president Ren soon. Tom just wanted to get this over with, he ignored the compliments from their crew for their results, he thought he didn't do that good with his results. Now that district 3 had the best test results and the best show off with their clothing, they are more probably going to get sponsors. So Tom had to win in another way, sponsors wont do him any good now, he's just like the other tributes.
President Ren was on the screen, he started with his welcome, then he talked about a new rule. "Since you all know this is a quarter quell, it's going to be a bit different then the other hungergames, for there will be 24 other tributes participating through the capitol, people who volunteered, so, 48 people in this hunger games, 24 from the districts, 24 from the capitol, with a bit more surprises. May the odds be ever in your favor!" President Ren went off screen, Tom could not believe it, his chances of dying have just doubled, nonetheless there are even more obstacles and tributes. 'How could it be? From the capitol... No one from the capitol knows to fight, it's.. it's... They think it's just a fun show, fighting till last man survives, don't they?' Tom thought.
"Everything have changed, 48 people are participating, and 24 of them did it on their own will, you can bet they know how to fight, now your chances have dropped... allot." President Ren came back in the screen. "Oh I forgot to mention this, but everyone of you will get a pet for the games, your pet will come at the second day of the games." He went back off the screen. 'If I will die, might aswell have a friend doing so' Tom thought.
