"Autumn Eive" The perky voice of Lyric Flickerman came from the stage.

I swallowed. I straightened my strawberry colored hair and looked at my red dress. I normally don't get nervous but this is something that might actually be unforgettable. This is it!

"You can do it Autumn. Just tell them the truth," My mentor, Emily, advised.

I nodded and took a shaky breath. This is it.

I walked towards the stage gracefully and sat down on the velvet couch.

"Ah welcome Autumn!" Lyric clapped her hands together.

I nodded. Doesn't she realize we will be killed at during the Hunger Games?

"So one main question I must ask you is," Lyric smiled, "Is there someone special at home?"

I took a deep breath. I will die anyways.

"His name is Ryan Calergger," I smiled.

"Hahaha, that is great!" Lyric gushed, "The second most important question is how was life before you were twelve?"

"I..." My voice trailed off.

"Having a bit of stage fright?" Lyric asked.

"N-no. It's just I wasn't really noticed before I was twelve until today.

"Well you are now!" Lyric smiled.

"The next question is how do you like the Capitol?" Lyric asked, waiting for an answer.

"It's really nice here. Very clean and everyone is nice," I smiled.

"Ah! Isn't that a nice answer?" Lyric laughed, "Almost done with this interview! Are you excited about the Hunger Games?"

I swallowed. Tell the truth. Tell the truth. I kept repeating in my head.

"Honestly, I'm scared and nervous. There is no telling what is out there," I told her and the audience.

"Don't worry Autumn. Just try your best!" Lyric clapped her hands together. "How did you feel during the reaping?"

"I was scared. I was chosen and that was when my sister volunteered," I said sadly.

"I am so sorry for your loss," Lyric pretended to wipe away fake tears, "Why did want to win?"

"I would like to win because my family is poor and I would like to be noticed," I replied honestly.

"We are out of time! We will see you soon Autumn!" Lyric laughed, "Everyone! Autumn Eive!"

I smiled and walked off of the stage. What will happen to me in the Hunger Games?
