As I steped onto the train I new there was no going back, I suppose before I thought there was an ounce of hope there was a mistake that I didn't have to fight to the death with the girl I had loved for eleven years, but now now I know there's nothing I can do. Effie trinket, our eccentric escort,led us to the lounge cart on the large train, I thought that the room I was led to after the reaping was luxurious! But this this is just over the top five large dismond chandeliers line the ceiling, plush velvet cuhsioned chairs and puffs are set out in cosy little groups and line upon line of delicacies, finger sandwiches and more than a few foods I can't even put a name to! The sight of all this food reminded me I hadn't eaten anything all day and I was starving, and then I guiltily remembered my companain, the most beautiful girl I had ever seen,Katniss Everdeen, who was from the seam part of district twelve had very probably not eaten a proper meal in weeks, would be even hungrier than me, I stole a glance at the goddess standing next to me,with her long black hair, deep Gray eyes, slim yet toned body she was easiliy the most excuisite creature I have ever seen, and she to was staring ravenously at the food confirming my suspicions. Effie told us to make ourselves at home, while she went to find haymithch " probably in the bar cart" she muttered as she left, we both instantly walked towards the food table katnis slowly walked up and down carefully examining each delicacy if she found something she liked the look of then she would have a small taste and then move on when she reached some sort of stew she paused, it had dried plums and some kind of meat I expected to be lamb, she had a taste and then ladled a bowlfull and then went to sit down on her way she shot me a sort of worried glance I thought it was about our inevitable fate then realised I had been standing with my hand in the breadbasket watching her the whole time she was looking at all the food, i must of looked like a complete idiot I must of been blushing because she gave me a sympathetic smile and went back to her stew still smirking I turned my attention back to the bread and found that aswell as capitol bread and district 12 bread they had the native bread to all the other districts I took a piece native to district 11 which is in the shape of a cresent moon and a peice from district 4 which had bits of seaweed and fish in it, as I made my way round the table I came across many different foods I found something a waiter told me was hot chocolate and poured myself a bowl
And my way over to wer katniss was sat and tore off a piece of my roll from 4 and dunked it into my hot chocolate And chewed it slowly I tried looking out of the window, at the floor, at my food but always my eyes trained themselves back onto her finallly I had to say something " erm, nice weather isnt it?" I glanced out side to see it was raining now I just felt stupid I cringed insistent and looked over at katniss who had her sympathetic smile again " yeah, great, if your a frog " " yeah" I sed weakly hoping against hope someone would enter now, preferably effie because wen shes around you don't need to talk because she talks enough for all of us, but noone entered. Then it was her who tried to start a conversation " so yourthe bakers son , right?" again I cringed "yeah that's right my family own the bakers in the square" , why was I being so stupid ours was the only bakery in the whole of district 12 I had seen her eith her sister looking at the ckes and buns I had slaved over trying to make perfect, so my mother wouldn't beat me like the time I threw katniss the bread I accidentally on perpose burt for her, after I saw her I had tried even harder to make them perfect as to impress her, so obviously she would now where it was " yes I've seen the cakes in your window there beatiful I've always wanted to get one just so I could look at it more carfully!, does your mother decorate them?"
" err, no, i do" my heart was pounding she likes my work! " really wow that's amazing your so talented" " not as talented as you my father buys your squirrels he always comments on how youballways hit them perfectly in the eye every time" she gave slight smile and opened her mouth as if to say something when effie and Haymitch Abernathy entered our cart. Katniss blushed slightly and suddenly seemed even more interested in her stew. I stood up and held out my hand to shake haymitchs but he was even more drunk than at the reaping and thought I was trying to attack him and put up his fists protecting his head, " oh grow up Haymitch" said effie.
