Katniss, Peeta, and I sat in a row waiting for the occasionally dressed Effie to draw out Katniss’s ticket. She then proudly said “Katniss Everdeen.” We sat there and watched as Katniss went up on the stage. The intensity then grew for me Peeta as Effie drew one of the two tickets in the bowl. Then the words Haymitch Abernathy came out. Then to my left I heard Peeta scream “I volunteer as tribute!” I then calmed him down trying to keep him from volunteering. He still didn’t back down until Katniss came off stage to talk about the plan. He then said he wants me and Katniss to live and not to worry about him. Then Katniss said it in her way. She said she want s me and Peeta to live and to sacrifice herself. After about 30 minutes of arguing we somewhat came to a decision. It was that Peeta would volunteer as tribute and Katniss and he would just survive. After the supposed compromised plan, I watched as Katniss and Peeta went on staged and Effie raised their hands. We then got on the train to go to the Capitol to get ready for the games.
