FAMILY IS ANYWHERE

BY FANGIRL2

Chapter 6

We went to this really fancy ballroom/Italian restaurant called "Baroque Ball". Jake and I stayed quiet until he held my hand in his. "What are you doing?" I questioned. "This might be weird but, you look, pretty." I smile. "Wow, I actually got a good comment out of you," He smirked and gently leaned in and kissed me. "There's no paparazzi in here. Why are you doing this?" I asked. He shrugged. "I dunno. Ever since I saw you in music class in third grade as you tried out for a solo in clarinet, you were great. The teacher gave it to you in a snap and made everyone else sign up for something else because you were instantly talented." I smiled. I was surprised he remembered we were in the same class. "Ya know, you can be a real big jerk," I muttered. "But you can be great ally."

We exited the car no more longer than 10 minutes. We were finally there. The driver opened the door and surprisingly there were no paparazzi or fans. "You two are in the VIP parking lot and if anyone who is not famous or anyone you know, they are not allowed to enter, don't worry, I heard they have great security." I nodded and smiled. "Great to know we are safe." I said. Jake and I walked in smiling.

It was gorgeous. White and silver and white. There was a dinner area and a dance area. Not the get down on the floor dance area but a romantic slow-dancing waltz dance area. "Wow," I muttered. "It's so, pretty." Jake nodded. The Waiter knew it was us right away. "Hello, I'm Mr. Grotche. Follow me to your seat. You are sitting with the President, correct?" "Yes, proudly and happily, we are." Said Jake in his most strongest voice. "Okay, come, follow me." Jake and I followed all the way to the VIP section.

Now, I didn't know how Axel looked, though I've heard he looked like a total villain, 'cause he is one! When I saw him, my heart stopped. His beard was long and white. All he wore was white, so plain. His grin was as evil as ever. The thing that scared me most about him though was his eyes, one was green and one was blue. "Hello, my fire and ice," He muttered. Jake did a pleasant grin. "Hello, Mr. President." "Please, call me President Axel or President A." Jake nodded as an acceptance of what to call him. "Hey," I said but quickly took back my 'hey.' "I mean, hello Mr. Axel. I'm Hazel." He nodded like I was an idiot. Of course he knew we were Jake and Hazel! He arranged this dinner! We sat down and looked at the menu.

A waitress named Brooklyn Vandpouch helped us with our menus, drinks, and food. She was short and stubby but nice. I ordered their lasagna and water while Jake ordered Spaghetti and Meatballs with a Shirley Temple and Mr. Axel ordered ravioli with lemonade. After we received our food. Axel got serious. "So, as you two probably know, is that the whole Hunger Games arena is a clock whom my workers are in charge of. Except, what you don't know is I choose my favorite and least favorite people, you two might be my favorite, unless, while I am watching you, you turn against me." It took me a minuteto process this. "Well, that isn't fair." I commented. "What?" He asked his eyebrow arching together. "It isn't fair for you to treat us like that, especially when we don't know what we have done to get the treatment!" Axel looked at me. "So, you are disagreeing with me?" Jake looked at me like I needed to stop. I didn't. "Well, kinda, I just wanted to state my opinion, if that's okay." He looked at me like I was crazy. "Also, I must say, how you pick the people for the Hunger Games is rude. I mean, nobody likes being picked by their name and have to fight or have a big chance of being killed."

"Well, this is new, someone standing up to me. Nobody ever does, they just go with the flow. l expect you too as well. Let me remind you, I am 20 or 30 years older than you and I don't think this argument is necessary so if you excuse me..." I literally had it. My head felt like it was about to explode! "Don't you want your country to be happy? Well, we aren't because you put us to death!" President Axel was upset and wanted me to leave. "Well that's how it is and if you don't like it, then I will make this whole arena be worst to you than anybody else!" I started swearing and then people had to drag Jake and I out. We didn't even get to dance.

The only thought I had that I couldn't say to Jake because he was so upset and embarrased was

"But Axel is dangerous."
