CHAPTER 2
"No Thomas No!" Thomas's mother yelled "Please someone volunteer! Please."
"It's ok mom." Thomas reassured her. "It's ok. Thomas walked up to the stage. "My how brave" Effie said. "Let's hear it for our district twelve tributes!" No one clapped.
"I said" Effie snapped dangerously. "Let's hear it for our district twelve tributes!" Everyone hysterically began clapping.
THE GOODBYES.
Thomas was ushered into a ridiculously fancy room with a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and plush sofas clustered around the room on an ornate rug. Thomas sat down on a sofa breathing heavily and trying not to cry. The first person to run in was Thomas's mother Shelvia.
"Thomas" Shelvia said. "Are you sure you don't want me to smuggle you out? I can do it. We can run away and-"
"No it's OK" Thomas said. "I really think I can win this."
Shelvia gave Thomas a hug and started crying. More people surrounded Thomas saying their goodbyes until a member of the PANEM corps walked in and said it was time to go to the train station. The PANEM corps member lead Thomas and Terni into a car and started driving through district twelve in the direction of the train station. Effie was sitting next to them, averting her eyes from the window. Thomas and Terni were silent through the entire ride.
When they got to the station Thomas and Terni had to fight their way past a mob of people surrounding them and eager to see the newest tributes. The member of the PANEM corps and Effie stood behind them as they walked into the train.
