On the Tribute Train

I am reading a manual for the train, how it works and whatnot. Im too worried about Keeno to sleep. I know she's been having a hard time, but to join a gang of thugs? Its so not like her... I am traveling though the thoughts, the nice memories of her, when someone comes into the sitting room, Forsythia. I made a vow to change, she is no longer my friend, so as she attempts to sit by me, i manuever to the recliner chair, for one only. I dont look at her, but i can tell she knows this is how its going to be... I put in a tape of the reaping and rewind all the way, Dante Gould from Dist 1, he looks like a moron, Parikay Cynto, she looks tough, but i know she wont make it back...

I watch in silence, almost forgetting Forsythia was here too. I still dont look at her, we finally get to dist 10, the girl and the boy, Dinah and Klaus, hold hands. Odd, Guess ill have to make an alliance as well. Not with Fors, because i wont be able to kill her if we make it to the end. And i wont die. At least ill try not to. We get to ours and I look... confident? Not what i was going for, but hey, give my opponents something to think about. Fors looks like she hates me, on screen, probably now too. I hear Keenoli's Outcry, "CAL! NO!" and i simply ignored it then, but now, i feel like my heart was ripped out... Then We get to 12, Blue Killio, and they also had a recall, the first boy was a kid named Zekk, but now Kovu Tregger is the male tribute...

Someone sighs and I jump, startled, i really have forgotten about her. "Yes?." i say still looking at the paused faces of dist 12 tributes.
