Beetee POV
I heard the doorbell ring a I jumped. I was currently working on a new music chip. An improved version of the one I made years ago that the people in the Capitol seemed to love. I hurried over to the door and saw Wiress. I smiled and brought her into the living room. Since she had become a victor we had become great friends and I may or may not have developed a little crush on her.
Well anyways she took out her plans notebook and handed it over to me. It looked like she was making a weather changing device. "A weather changer" I said and she nodded. I quickly looked over her calculations and praised her for her work. She smiled that beautiful smile was reserved for no one but me. My heart jumped but I regained composure. I handed her the music chip and with expert hands she opened it to the main unit and started re-attaching wires. I frowned when I noticed that she corrected a mistake I had not noticed before. She smiled, clearly satisfied with her work and she turned it on. A light flute tune started to play and Wiress started humming obviously knowing that tune. The song ended and she turned it off. It was silent for a moment before I said "You should know by now that you don't have to knock" She frowned and I immediately felt bad. "Well I know but" and her voice faded away. I sighed and said "Yeah I know its impolite." She nodded and smiled again.
She got distracted for a moment when she saw the time on my little wall clock. It was almost noon. "The Reapings Beetee they are on soon" I nodded and sighed. It wasn't my year to mentor but as a citizen of Panem I am required to watch the reapings and the Games of course. I turned on the small but workable T.V. set. The Reapings had actually happened earlier this morning but we had to wait seeing as I was in no mood to go see them first hand. Wiress watched with little interest until a boy about 14 or 15 was called to the stage. She gasped "Wiress Wiress whats wrong" She was starring intently at the screen now. "Look at" and she cut off. I looked at the screen and rolled my eyes. Of course he was handsome. I couldn't compare to him, at least not in Wiress's eyes. All I was to her was her partner in crime and maybe even a brother. "Seriously Wire" I said snickering to hide my hurt. She looked up to me. "How old is he" She said. "Probably about 14 or 15 Wire, still too young your 19" and I'm 23. Probably to old for her in everyone's eyes.
I pushed myself off my chair and went into the kitchen. I grabbed some hot chocolate and made it. I grabbed two mugs, Wiress's says "women with wires are sexy" It was a birthday gift from Seeder and mine said "Kiss the inventor" Again a birthday gift from Seeder. That woman was always finding special ways to make us blush. I brought over her mug and she took it gratefully. After the Reapings were over we sat in silence working on our projects. The clock struck four and Wiress left as she does everyday. She comes back at six and she sleeps in one of the extra rooms that is hers. I have a room in her house as well for when I decide to go to her house. We tried sleeping apart in separate houses but after we both met we were each others better half so we said stay in the same house. We've been that way ever since. That was probably when I started falling for her.
