We entered our house in the Capitol.
Our was on the first floor like our District.

The house was huge and filled with everything that we could ask for.
And then there was Ruby.
"Oh, Ruby!" Cashmere run into her arms
"Cash, hi!"
"This is Glimmer and Marvel your this year's tributes."
"Hello, sorry I wasn't on the train with you."
"It's okay, we will have a lot of time to talk after my victory tour." I say confidently.
"I like you already." She laughed.

Ruby was tall, she had a body of a gymnasticist, after all that's how she won the games. I remember seeing her fight tributes with those crazy moves. You don't see something like that every Hunger Game.
She had dark skin and curly short hair. Her face was beautiful especially her big lips and hazel eyes.

"So let's eat some dinner and talk, shall we?" Ruby said.

We sat down, I was so tried of eating all meals with bunch of people.
"So what are your skills?" She asks.
"I'm good at throwing a spear." Marvel said.
"Alright, what about you, blondie?"
"I can do many things. Whatever weapon is available, I will use it." I reply.
"That's great! Remember to pick a weapon that no other career has. District 2 and 4 like to have their one favourite weapon and you don't want to be that person who takes it away from them."
Ruby is right. My teacher told me many times that the worst thing you can do to yourself is knowing how to use only one weapon. You never know what arena you will enter and what people will be there with you. You have to be prepared for any situation.
"Maybe let's talk real quick about what will happen today." Cashmere suggested.
"Oh, right! You will be meeting with your stylist today and he will prepare you for the parade." Gloss explained.
"He is a little bit of a weirdo, be careful." Ruby said.

...

Just like Gloss said we have been introduced to the styling team. I threw up all the food that I could to make a good first impression.

The stylists didn't do much to my body since I already was looking great.
After they were done, the main stylist walked in.
"Well, well, isn't it my new female tribute!"
He had a long green scarf that he could trip on and dark skin with short blue hair.
"Let's take a look..."
He started carefully watching and touching every single part of my body. From my hair to legs he was mumbling something to himself.
"What's your name?" I asked him to break the awkward silence.
"Pluto." He replied like I was wasting his time.

Then he was finally done doing whatever he was doing.
"You have a beautiful body and a pretty face."
Pluto then started playing with my hair.
"We're gonna give you more curls." He said.

...

All that was left to do now was the parade itself.
Pluto put the outfit on me and Marvel. Each outfit represents different District. District 1 luxury, District 2 weapons, District 3 technology, 4 fish and so on.

I had a dark pink dress with soft magenta cape. The big crown on my head was made out of feathers and everything had little diamonds on it.
My hair was let down and it had curls like Pluto promised.

I was amazed by the outfit, it was my dream to wear Capitol clothes.
"Remember to smile and wave." Ruby tells us.
I turn around to see District 2 tributes.
Clove and Cato, first time I see them in person.Both are wearing some golden armors.
Cato is huge, he has big muscles and shiny blond hair. He looks at me with his blue eyes full of brutality.
I wink at him and smile. He smirks and looks away.
This guy definitely looks like someone that I wouldn't like to fight with. District 2 tributes are very skilled, both boys and girls. They have more victors than us because they have better fighters. They are trained to be peacekeepers while we are trained to fight in the games only.

"Hey, Glimmer." Mravel walked up to me.
"Marvel," I rolled my eyes.
"Look, I didn't mean to say that you can't win."
"But you think that."
"No, I don't."
"Everyone says that Marvel, you're not special."
"What do you mean-"
"You know, my looks is the first thing that you notice but what you won't see is that knife I put in your stomach." "We are allies, Marvel but I will do what I have to win." I tell him and walk away.

I want to let him know that we are not friends. We are allies nothing more, only one can come out after all.

"District 1, on the platform!" We heard a call.
"Let's go."

Our platform was the first because of the number of our district. The crowd was cheering as our platform was moving.

I was proudly waving to the crowd with a smile on my face. Some people were blowing kisses at me and throwing roses. I felt like a real star,

I wonder what my close ones were doing right now. My parents probably made all my relatives watch the parade, Amy is watching from her room she always gets excited to see the parade and Luster he is definitely watching and counting on me.

...

"You two were amazing!!" Cashmere greeted us as soon as we walked in to the building.
"You are truly the most beautiful woman in District 1." Pluto walked up to me again he was making me uncomfortable. "Too bad tributes like you always die."
"You heard him." Marvel smirked as I stood in shock.
Wasn't he supposed to motivate us? How does he even have guts to say that?
"Alright, maybe you should go rest tomorrow, you will start training." Cashmere suggested.

...

After they took away my costume, I went to my room. I was mad about what Pluto said and that it made Marvel laugh. What was he thinking?
Tomorrow is the day, I can prove myself to everyone.
