I woke up early along with cato.

"I have to go, I'll see you later," I said making us laugh.

"May the odds be ever in your favor," he said kissing my lips.

"May the odds be ever in your favor, " I said kissing him one last time.

I quietly walked up to my room and to my bathroom. I turned on the shower and fell against the wall with my blade.

I made a few cuts before hopping in the shower. The water and soap stung as I washed my body and hair for the possibly the last time. I got out and dried off. I put on Catos clothes before walking out to breakfast.

"Eat," haymitch said.

"Yes sir," I said eating bacon, possibly for the last time.

"Enjoy it. You will taste it again," he told me.

"I hope," I told him.

Peeta came down and are some food aswell. We both ate as much as we could stomach before being set off to the hovercrafts.

"Any last minute, life saving advice?" I asked Haymitch.

"Stay alive," he said grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

I followed peeta as we walked outside.

We were in different hovercraftes. I got in and was by thresh and clove. Cato was in front of me. I didnt see Rue.

"You ready, Twelve?" Cato asked me.

"Sure," I said.

Thresh smirked and grabbed my hand. Cato got a jealous look.

"Best friend. Dont ya remember last night," I said making everyone on the hovercraft smile.

When it finally landed we were to go to out stylist.

"Good luck," cato said pecking my lips.

"Good luck," I said.

"Find me in the cornicopia," thresh said squeezing my hand.

"Of course," I said squeezing it back before going to cinna.

"Your ready?" He asked.

"I'm gonna puke," I told him..

"Please do it before I put you in your outfit," he told me.

He helped me change into my outfit.

"One last thing. I got this approved as your token," he said and clipped. Necklace around my neck.
