A Big dedication to my best friend since year seven Jellybabybluebaby aka Glimmer. It's a long story. She's my district buddy. Hence, why i am called Marvel. LOL! It's her story so let her explain it all. Or you could ask us at the same time i don't see the point thought, sadly. hope you enjoy chapter two.
Me and Glimmer are both in the train going to the capitol. what a name the Capitol. they could name it what ever they want but they choose the Capitol? Sometime i wonder what life outside the Capitol would be like. The tree's being blown by the wind. I would kill to go outside the panem. Literally. No kidding.
When I finally come back down to earth from where ever I was. I notice Glimmer staring out the window, she must still be sad about her family problems after all who wouldn't be upset about their family ditching them for the Capitol. Then I notice Cashmere talking, she stares at me for a long time then say's
''So...''
''What?'' I said
''Have you been paying attention to anything I have said'' she asked
''Yes...'' I am not so much of a good liar, unfortunately
''As I was saying. What can you do? In terms of survival skills?''
''I can use a spear. Duh! Why are you asking me this, Cashmere? You know I'm skilled with a spear''
''So you aren't good at anything else then?''
''Of course I am. I have good stamina. Strength. I can swim''
''Good. At least you will get somewhere. I can't seem to get though to her''
''Her. Has a name. It's Glimmer''
''OK. Why is she so sad and all I mean by this is that all the other tribute's I have had in the past have all been... cheery''
''Despite knowing that they will die?''
''Surprisingly. yeah!''
''Her family abandoned her for the Capitol. She's still grieving over this. I don't think the games are making this any better, though. After all if she lives she will see her family. I don't think she want's that''
''So what can she do?''
''She likes the bow and arrow. Maybe not the best at it. but she likes it. Alot.''
''Well. That's good. Rumor has it. After last year's failure. They are making this game a one to remember. Forever in hunger games history.''
''Good. I guess.''
''So what angle do you want? I mean for the interviews I was thinking you could do cocky or funny or something and she could well... she could do what angle I did for the games.''
''Sexy?''
''Why not? She could pass. Trust me. I did.''
Eventually we watched the reaping of district as good as our's. Our's was original. All I know is Glimmer seemed fixated on this Cato guy. I wasn't paying attention to his last name. But, she was happy she has a look on her face which was very different from her usual looks maybe it was a killing look or maybe a love look. When he reached the podium he had a speech and everything.
''I hope to win these games, and bring pride to my district. District 2 shall win this. We will win this.''
He seemed confident. I have never actually seen a tribute as confident as him... ever.
''Sure. He looks like he can kill. But I bet you anything, Marvel. I'll probably end up killing him'' she laughs
Sure, sure Glimmer he will totally let you kill him. I though.
''Well those are you allies'' Cashmere spoke
''What?'' Glimmer and I spat out
'' I suggest when we reach the Capitol, you two should get to know them. They are really nice people. Well, their mentor Enobaria is. Not sure about them, though''
All i could think of is how the district 2 girl looked so much like my past love. Clove Mason. Probably my only love. Glimmer has never known love. who could blame her. Love sucks. Especially when you loose them. It hurts. That's how I feel everyday. Sometime I hope she never falls in love. Ever. But, she seemed fixated on Cato like I said, the likeliest reason seems to be the fact that he thinks he's so cool but he's not or the fact that he has to be a very big career considering all career's tend to form an alliance.
I feel like an older brother to Glimmer, well I am like her family. She knows that. But, before I knew it we arrived at the Capitol. Good thing to I want to sleep in a normal bed. We get out of the train and we see smiling and waving Capitol people. Glimmer as usual does her twirls and blows kisses to everyone. Boy i can't wait to start training. I smile at the people and off we go to out rooms to get ready for the tribute parade. I seem surprised that Glimmer has appeared to be so happy in front of everyone despite the fact her family could be there and the fact that are probably betting right now by the reaping's who will come out alive. As the 74th Hunger Games.
