I take his hand and I drape my arms around Aiden's neck. His hands reach my lower back and we slowly spin around in beat to the song. "You know, I thought you were stuck up at first." I admit. "But, I guess, never judge a book by its cover." His arm extends and I twirl and come back to him.
He smiles. "I always knew that you were amazing. I didn't find that out today. What I did find out is that you're even more caring than I thought." I smile and lay my head on his chest. His breathing is steady and strong. I try to relax and find it surprisingly easy. Aiden looks at me like I am a goddess or something...well my name doesn't really help me in that catagory. I was named after the Greek Goddess of Spring. I never knew why though. When the song ends, I break away from Aiden and go over to the food table. I notice a girl with a white knee length dress on, and white flats. Her hair is about shoulder length and she looks like she's about my age.
"Hey," I say sweetly. She turns to me.
"Hi. I'm Iris."
"I'm Persephone. You can call me Percy." I'm actually relitively shy but I need allies and if I can find them here, that would be fabulous. I see Aiden coming up behind me. I introduce both of them and they hit it off right away. We all talk and laugh about totally random stuff. "What district are you from?" I ask.
"Oh, District five." She replies. "You?"
"District 12. We're the coal district." I say with a smile.
"I can't wait to see what you where for the chariots. Cinna use to be the best stylist but then-" her voice trails off. I give a sad smile. The president hated Cinna, even though he was the kindest person in the Games. And Cinna was executed. "Well, you have a girl, Allyssa, and a boy, Justin, for your district. I heard they had great taste in clothing." I smile and we decide to meet eachother later. I head back to the middle of the ballroom and end up meeting another girl, Selena. She's really sweet and really funny. I talk to her for a while and decide to find Aiden. He's talking with a guy from district eleven who looks about fifteen or sixteen.
"Hi." I say as I come up to them.
"Hey Percy," Aiden says sweetly. "Percy this is Brayden. Brayden this is Percy." I say hello and end up chatting with him for a while too. So far, we've made three possible allies. Well, not including eachother. I may try to avoid Aiden so I don't have to end up killing him later but I'm not sure. Aiden and I eventually end up back on the dance floor and begin to dance to a slow song. We dance in silence for a while but I ask a good question, "Are we going to be allies? Or are we going to avoid eachother?"
"Allies. We work better as a team anyway." I twirl a few times and kiss him on the cheak. His green eyes brighten. He doesn't say a word. I keep dancing until I feel like I'm going to fall asleep. When I reach that mood, I decide to eat a few pieces of cake and go out and dance again. I all of the sudden realize that we're being filmed. My eyes widen and I hear a bunch of murmurs in the crowd.
"Looks like we've got a few love birds over here." The president calls teasingly in the microphone. I manage to hold my ground but still blush. I look to the cameras and say, "I'm glad we're giving you a good show." with a grin. Everyone cracks up. I look at Aiden and he takes my hand. We walk to our room and shut the door behind us. I look at him and he pulls me in for a kiss.
