The Plan

Lacey

i slowly turned around toward the sound of the deep voice it was Cosmo i turn and look towards the seat he was passes out in i didn't even realise he had woken up and i thought he was hungover? Well at least he woke up before i said anything eles stupid to Bay gosh anytime he spoke she couldn't think straight she really had to get over this crush she was going into the arena in 2 weeks she was going to have to kill him if she wanted to go back home to her family in District 6.

''I'm Cosmo and i'm going to be your mentor.'' Bay got up quickly standing straight he held out his hand for Cosmo to shake. '' Great to meet you erm Cosmo i'm Bay.'' Cosmo looked at Bay curiously before shaking his hand. ''You volunteered for your brother am i right.'' ''Yes Sir.'' ''That was a very hard thing to do no one has volunteered for 20 years the Capital are going to love you.'' Bay beamed god did he not know that he was going into the games this was not a smiling matter all Lacey was thinking now was that she had to get rid off any feelings she had or still does have for Bay because she can't kill him if she loves him she could never do it. ''Thank you Sir i volunteered for my younger brother Fergus he's 14.'' ''Well Bay son that was a very brave and nobely thing to do.'' ''He's my brother i had to do something i couldn't stay there and watch him being taken away from my mother she would off fallen apart.'' ''But what about you son your in the games.'' ''I'm 17 years old i can take care off myself i'm stronger than i look.'' ''As i can tell i would never have the guts to do what you did today and for that i'm going to help you to try and beat this ad come home to your family.''

While i was beginning to think that they had forgotten fully that i was standing right in the room Cosmo turned towards me that i was faced to my horror towards his face which was covered with a massive burn mark right across about half his face i was shocked that Bay didn't react in any way to this he talked to Cosmo as if nothing was wrong this made Lacey feel slightly werid she was starting to realise that Bay didn't look half as wimpy as she thought he looked she was shocked that he didn't jump or seem shocked in any way by what had happened to Cosmo's face. Lacey didn't have to think twice to know that the burn marks had happened during Cosmo's time in the arena Lacey just hoped that he didn't explain what had happened. ''So Lacey you guys are a strong catogory this year for once we have two tributes who are around the same age and the first thing i want to do is tell you how to get sponsors.'' We both nodded in agreement even though inside Lacey was really confused what in god's name was a sponsor she had heard of them but she never knew what the properly do for the tributes in the arena every year but she didn't want to ask in case it made her seem weak and for once in her life she cared if she seemed weak. ''Now the first thing i want to ask you guys is what would you think if we made it seem like you guys were a couple or supposdly both liked eachother.'' The was a silence when both me and Bay tried to think about what Cosmo had just said and when it had sunken in both me and Bay turned to look at eachother wide eyed shocked by what we had just heard Cosmo wanted us to lie and say we loved eachother to get sponsors.

Bay

I was shocked I didn't understand what Cosmo was saying. ''You guys will get interviewed 2 days before you will be put into the arena and during this interview you each will say you have feelings for eachother and hopefully this well give you sympathy sponsors.'' This could not be happening he didn't even need to pretend he loved Lacey becuase he already loved her he slowly brought his eyes up to Laceys she was just sitting there like she hadn't heard anthing Cosmo had just said slowly she got to her feet and left the cabin probably going to her room in the train. ''Well so what do you think Bay just pretend you love her and as soon as you get into the games just kill the hell out of each other do we have a deal do you want my help.'' Cosmo slowly rose grabbing a flask from his back pocket and swigging the rest of it into his mouth before throwing the flask on the soild metal table and leaving the room, Bay was glad he was leaving he needed space to think could he really do this but then it would be cheating and he would find it to hard to kill Lacey in the arena but if it brought him more sponsors and made it eaiser for him to go home to his family he was going to do whatever he could to go back home to District 6. God it had not even been a full day and he was already missing his family he was going to be a mess starting from tomorrow he was going to arrive into the Capital and he was going to lie his way to victory, first of all he needed to sleep so he got to his feet grabbing a large slice of iced cake and made his way to his assigned room.
