'Rip.' I cringe as hair is being ripped from my legs.

I manage to keep in the screaming.

"Well aren't you tough , When I got my legs waxed the first time I screamed my beloved head off." The styling lady told me.

All of the people were wearing plain light pink tops and bottoms.

"One more time." she said as she begin to rip the hair off.

She and another styling guy were talking .

"Umm.... excuse me.." I said sitting up off the metal table.

" Oh um ....Cinna will be ready for you shortly, mean while we are going to just brush your hair. No worries." The guy tells me.

"Who's Cin..? she stopped me before I could finish.

"Your stylist." then she started brushing through my matted hair.

I never realized that my hair was so pretty with all the tangles out.

The stylist lady took me into a empty room with a table and chair.

I waited there until a dark skinned man with brown hair came in, he didn't have any crazy make up or clothes he actually looked normal.

"Hello my name Cinna and I will be your stylist till the games."

"Hello my name is...."

"Primrose ,yes I heard." He said.

"So what are we to do next?" I ask.

"We have to get you ready for the chariots." he said.

The chariots is the first thing after you arrive to the Capitol.

You dress based on what your industry is. Like mine is coal/mining.

After tons of makeup Cinna puts my hair up in braids that overlap to look like a bun.

He then helps me put on my outfit.

It is a plain black latex body suit.

"Follow me." he says.

We walk down a long hallway then into a room that opens up where all the chariots are.

I see Gale and he is wearing the same thing I was.

"I thought we were supposed to impress these people." Gale said.

Cinna takes out this lighter and fire comes out.

"Your not scared are you?" Cinna asked.

Gale and I shake our heads.

"Don't worry it is not real." he said.

The anthem plays and the chariots start moving.

We hop on and the horses start going.

As we enter the dome, the people of the Capitol start cheering like wild animals.

I looked up at the projector and saw myself ,I looked well.... AWESOME.

Gale gives me a hug.

The point is for people to think that we act like we are a brother/sister duet, to take care of each other in the games.

When we got to the circle of the dome president Snow came to the stage.

"Welcome tributes to 24th annual hunger games!" he said as the crowd went wild.

He gave them a gesture to settle down.

Then the chariots left.

We entered another room and the fire distinguished.
