I smile at him when I pull away. "So, are we official?" I ask curiously.
"I think so. Are we?" I kiss him again for an answer. I pull away.
"Did that answer your question?"
"Yeah..I think so..." I go into the closet and pull on a silk night gown and a white robe. I put on a pair of white fluffy slippers and head back to our room. I climb into one of the beds and Aiden climbs into the other one. Just as I turn off the light I hear him whisper goodnight.
"Goodnight, Adain." I say in response. I relax in my bed and quickly fall into a deep sleep. I realize that when I wake up, Effie Trinket's voice is blasting through a loud speaker in our room.
"Wake up you two! It's going to be a big big day!" I let out a groan and get out of bed. I pull on a pair of jeans, a white v-neck shirt, and a comfortable pair of sneakers. In two weeks, we're off to the arena. I braid my hair and put on some blush and mascara. I come out to see Aiden still in bed.
"Wake up Aiden! We have a big big day today!" I say, mocking Effie's tone. He lets out a moan. I kind of feel sorry for him but today we are expected to go aboard the chariots looking amazing. That wont happen with him asleep. "Aiden get up." I say. He lets out another groan and sits up with deep, dark rings around his eyes. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah...I just had a nightmare. I'm fine." He crawls out of bed and I give him a hug. He accepts it and gets ready soon after. He comes out in a pair of blue jeans and a simple white shortsleeve. Our stylists will be working on our costumes anyway.
"I'll miss you today." I say with a sweet smile.
"Me too. We'll see eachother tonight at the chariots though. Are we going to act in love?"
"It wouldn't be acting and I don't really know. The Capitol's seen that already. Maybe...we'd have to do it somewhat different then what Katniss and Peeta did." I say. HE nods and we walk to the elevaters and down to where our stylists are. I get the boy, Justin and Aiden gets the girl, Allyssa. My stylist walks me into a room and hands me a bundle of clothes.
"So, Allyssa and I were thinking about doing a fire theme. So, you'll be wearing a dress that looks like flames and orangeish reddish flats. To you like tiaras?"
"Not really but I can deal with one." I reply with a shrug.
He gives me a small laugh. "Good. Here, you can change and call me when you're done okay?" he asks. I nod and he walks out. I slowly put on the dress and realize that it only goes down to my knees which I hate. I don't like my legs at all but I deal with it. I slip on my flats and put on my tiara. I look like the queen of fire. I can't imagine what they'll do to my face but right now, I look amazing.
"You can come in Justin." I say. He walks in and stares at me with a grin. He circles me several times before he leads me into the make-up room. There, he highlights my face with dark make-up and adds flames on my eyelids and paints my nails black. I look in the mirror and barely recognise myself. I look way older than I did before.
"Do you like it?" he asks with a smile. I give him a hug and he starts, not expecting it.
"I love it. Thank you Justin. You did a great job." He smiles and says that I can leave. I decide to go outside and stand by my chariot. I pet one of my horses and notice Aiden coming over. He's wearing dark black pants with flames shooting up his legs at the bottom and his shirt is a tight, shiny orage fabric. He has to wear a black crown like my black tiara. That's the only part I hate about these costumes. Otherwise, they're amazing.
"Hey." Aiden says.
"Hi," I reply. I feel sort of nervous right now.
"You look amazing." He says in awe.
"Thanks. You do too." I turn when I hear Iris and Selena holler at us.
"Hey guys," I hear Selena. "I love your outfits! They look amazing!"
"Thanks." Aiden and I say in unison. Iris is wearing a pair of white skinny jeans, white boots, and a sparkling white tunic. The sleeves of her tunic are long and draping. Selena is wearing, considering she's from district one, this isn't surprising, a beautful long velvet red dress with sparkling ruby red slippers.
"Everyone, we need you to aboard the chariots. Please aboard your district chariot! Thank you." says a voice in the speaker. Aiden holds out his hand to lift me up into the chariot. I take it and each chariot goes out one by one. Since we're district 12, we're last to leave. I wait patiently and as we leave we wave to the audiance and smile. I put on my best fake grin and wave the best that I can. Then, I give a speacial wink that only Mason would understand. The same wink my father gave us to show that he was okay. I smile and as we leave, I do one more thing that I am surprised I even thought of. I blow the audiance a kiss and a bunch of people try to catch it as if it was a real thing.
I get off the chariot and Aiden gently takes hold of my hand. We walk to the elevater and are silent the entire way until he says in a small, shy tone, "I love you."
