Chapter 4!
Adam's Point Of View.
I was in my bedroom when I was called out by Effie and Tori to come watch our scores be announced on the TV. We sat around a mahogany table. That strangely had a knife hole, like someone stabbed a knife in it. The T.v showed the capitols symbol then started naming off people. District 1,2,3,4, and So on. The district 12 girl got a 11 while the boy got an 8. District 13. This is it. Tori, 6. Katie, 7. Drew, 7. Then my name showed up. 10. Tori, Katie, Effie they were all happy for me and patting my back. I got a Ten. I looked over at Drew, He was eyeing to kill me. I ignored him and walked over to Cloves room.
"Clove!" I yelled as I knocked on the door.
"What 13." She said looking angry.
"Whoa, no need to be angry." I held up my hands in surrender.
"You didn't need my help did you. You just wanted to find out how good I am so you could get a higher score!"
"Clove don't just sit there and accuse me of wanting a higher score! To be honest, I haven't even heard of the hunger games. So yea I did need your help but not because of the score. Because I'm talentless." I said angry now.
"Talentless? You got a bull's eye almost every time with knives!" She said about to close the door.
I stopped it with my foot. "Again with you closing the door in my face. Let me in so we can talk privately instead of yelling from out here."
She growled and let me in. She leaned against the wall with her arms crossed.
"You always get so tensed when I'm around." I said shoving my hands in my pocket.
"Because I have no idea what your going to say next. I don't even know why I trusted you." She said slamming her fist into the wall behind her.
She trusted me? "Clove listen, I still want you to trust me because I trust you. I know I shouldn't because everyone I've trusted has hurt me but with you I couldn't control if I could or couldn't trust you." I took a deep breath and relaxed a little "Ever since I got here things have been hell and the last thing I need is you not trusting me, I really need someone to turn to because if I tell Tori she will tell Katie who will just tell my brother." I say.
"Who's your brother?" She asked.
"Drew, Big muscle tan-ish Mexican looking." I explained.
"Oh the Idiot who tried to take on Cato. The one who also took his sword."
"Yep that's Drew Alright." I said shuffling my feet a little. Why does this keep happening?
Clove's Point Of View.
Why am I getting this weird feeling in my stomach, and every time I look in his eyes I feel my self start to blush. His embarrassment is just cute in some way. No Clove! You can't think like that! He will be your Enemy!
Right. Gotta pull myself together.
"He looks nothing like you." Wow Clove just keep on with the convo.
"He's my step brother or was...We had a fight so now he wants to kill me." He says I think trying to hide the sadness in his voice. I felt myself give him sympathy.
"He won't kill you, Cato will get him first. I assure you." I say letting my arms down. I don't know how but my arms fell asleep.
"No! I want to kill him." He said out of nowhere.
"I'll let Cato know, no since I got no sleep last night for training late I want to get at least some sleep now." I said.
"Do you think I could stay in here for a little while? While you sleep?" He asked.
"As long as your quiet, if you hear anyone come in here either run into the bathroom, closet, or under my bed understood." I warned.
He nodded and sat at the foot of my bed while I laid on top of my bed and rolled over facing the wall.
"Try anything and you die before the games even start." I warn.
"Do I look like the type to do such a thing." He said cockily.
"I think Cato's cockiness is rubbing off on you." I drowsily.
Before he could reply I was asleep and out cold.
"Clove just kill me. You can go home and live your life without regret!" Adam pleaded.
"What? No way!" I yelled at him.
"Clove I saw my dead brother and watched Tori die, and Katie...I don't even want to remember! I will die either way."
"Don't!" I yelled grabbing the knife from his hands.
"I don' think I can kill you-no I know I can't." He said.
"Then don't, we don't have to die. The capital needs a victor, so let the capital decide."
"I think they have-" He said but got interrupted as Cato came and stabbed him in the back.
"No!" I yelled, I couldn't control myself I felt Anger, Annoyance, Pain and Sadness. But why? I have no feelings for Adam.
At least I think I don't?
"Make it quick." Cato said walking towards me with a bloody knife "Only seconds left."
"I'm sorry." I said as tears form. What? Why am I crying?
He nodded and closed his eyes just then the cannon went off.
I felt tears streaming down my face.
"Welcome, The two victors of district 2!" Claudius said over the arena.
"Clove...Clove...Clove!" I jolt awake sweating and tears rolling down my face.
My vision blurred, I see Adam shaking me.
"What's wrong?" He asked "You were crying and whimpering."
"Nothing just, it was nothing." I said.
The look on his face showed he didn't believe a single shit I said.
"Okay." He said laying next to me and pulled me into him "I'm not leaving tonight."
"If my mentor or Cato comes in they will kill me."
"I don't care I'm not leaving."
I somehow felt relaxed hearing that, I felt safe which is something I've never felt around someone. I had little fear of what I felt about Adam but I couldn't let that sacrifice my chances of winning...even if I did have a I Little crush on him there's no way I would tell him. Bad ass Clove needs to come back, soon.
Adam's Point of View.
OH MY GOD! THE INTERVIEW!
I got up from Clove and woke her up.
"What?" She said tiredly.
"I have to go. My interview." I said in a panic.
"Okay have fun." She said before dosing off again.
"Clove! You have your interview in less than and Hour!"
Her Eyes shot open and I was shoved out of her room.
"I must get ready before my mentor comes and yells at me." She said closing the door.
I walked back into my districts area.
"Where have you been?" Effie asked in her high pitch annoying voice.
"Probably with his little girlfriend in 2." Drew sneered.
"Oh shut up and I'm not dating anyone and yes I was." I sneered back.
He rolled his eyes.
"Ugh I don't have time for this, I have a interview to get ready for." I said walking away.
"Wait Adam!" Tori yelled catching up with me.
"No Tori just no okay?" I say without turning around "I can't help you or as of the moment be friends, everything has to end. As of right now, one of us might not die but for a fact I will. I don't want to hurt you any more than what I am. I'm sorry." I said opening my door.
I felt arms wrap around me and felt shaking. She's Crying.
"Okay, Last thing." She said turning me around to face her. Her make-up smeared, eyes blood-shot.
"Tori-"
"No. Adam listen. I know I'm not going to make it, So I want you to win for me and everyone. You have to. Please."
"Okay. I promise." I say wiping her face, I kissed her forehead.
"Since tomorrow is when we leave for the arena...See you in the Games." She said.
"And may the odds be ever in your favor." I said closing my door as she walked away.
I walked into my room and took a shower. When I came out I saw that the Avox must have brought in my tux. It had Black slacks with dress shoes and a dark blue shirt with Dark red Tie, and they gave me the choice of a black blazer with Orange lining on the creases or a All dark red blazer.
I chose the Orange lining one.
I finished getting dressed and being escorted to a place where they do my hair. They straighten it and do a comb over look. I've been in here for over and hour waiting for my district's turn for interviews.
1 (Marvel and Glimmer) Where sparkling as ever. Cato was looking handsome, Clove was beautiful as always but wearing a peach or pink colour sun dress? Her hair was straightened and looked amazing. Then sadly 3 came up, then the rest of the districts went. 12 Was all fiery again. Katniss twirled in her dress and fire showed.
Drew went up being cocky, Katie being sweet, Tori was shy like the girl Rue. Then It was my turn.
I walked up with a cocky smile.
"Adam Torres welcome." Caesar says.
"Caesar my man." I say shaking his hand.
"You seem very confident, Adam. How do you feel about the games?"
"I have to say that I was a little worried about it all, but now I see my opponents I think I will at least make it to final three."
"We all hope you do as well. Now Adam tell us about your past?"
"Well I was a Ftm, Female to male transgender. But do to all my surgery All the bulling and mistreatment stopped."
"I'm so sorry for how you were treated. Aren't we all?" He asked the crowed who showed support by clapping and awing. "Is there anyone you called or call your own back in your district?"
"Well there was a girl named Bianca who I flirted with till she outed me, but now we are very close friends. Fiona who is my ex. and I know there watching." I say waving at the camera.
"Well how do you like it in the capital?"
"It's very different from what I'm used to. Everyone here looks fabulous I do have to say." I laughed as did Caesar and the crowd.
"Any alliances?"
"I am in the career Alliance. I have to say there like a second family."
"Well what about your training scores? Tell us how you got that score?"
"Well I would if I could but I'm not able to, So you'll all have to wait to see what I can do?"
We all laughed.
"Well times almost up and we have enough time for one more question. What was the reaping like? Having your name called in front of everyone, with your brother and peers?"
"It was scary I have to say, almost like I didn't know how to walk, I started to shake but I confidently walked up to my place next to my brother."
"I-No We are so happy to have a tribute like you here Adam, You showed Confidence, Humor you shared your life and I'm sure you got a lot of people to help you out." He looked at the crowed.
We said our good-byes and I exited the stage.
"Show-off " Drew sneered.
"God just leave me alone." I pushed past him, I looked at Tori and Katie who eyed my sadly. I sent a gentle smile and wave there way which they returned.
I entered my room and found Clove holding something in her hand.
"Uh hey Clove." I said taking off my tie and blazer.
"Hi." She said fiddling with something in her hands.
"What you got there?" I asked taking off my shirt leaving me in a tank top.
"A knife I stole from the training room." She said.
I nod and Grab shorts and walk into the bathroom leaving the door cracked. I slipped off my pants and shoes.
"So we are like your second family?" She said.
I slip on my shorts and walk back out.
"Yeah you guys are... Especially you. I know you and Cato are close but I feel like we know each other so well." I said.
"I guess but that's also what I wanted to talk to you about." She said walking towards me.
"Uh...Okay what?" I said but she pulled me into a kiss.
"I kinda like you."
