A/N So... PPOV sorry guys but not my favorite... There won't be too many PPOV's in this FF. They are kinda hard to write because I don't know how guys think, and well I can't relate because I'm a girl! Thanks for reviewing, here is Chapter 6!
(PPOV)
I looked around waiting for Portia, and honestly, I was quite worried about what she would look like. So many people in the Capitol had weird fashions, it was stupid. I didn't feel like thinking about the Capitol, so I decided to think of home. I missed Delly a lot, she was my best friend since first grade. If Delly was here right now, she would be so excited to have a makeover. What is it with girls and makeovers? While I was mourning for Delly I realized that Portia was walking in. She was olive skinned and had natural curly hair. Makeup was caked all over her face, and she was wearing a striped dress with red shoes. In my opinion, she looked satisfactory.
"Hello Peeta, my name is Portia and I am going to be your designer. Your prep team needs to work with you for little bit and then we can have lunch. After that I will show you your costume for tonight." Porta said. Portia was calm like me, I liked her. But what confused me was, why did I need a costume for tonight?
"Excuse me Portia, but why do I need to have a costume for tonight?" I questioned.
"Oh did Haymitch or Effie not tell you? You will show yourself to the Capitol tonight! You must look your absolute best so you can get your precious sponsors to like you. We are here to make yourself look good, so you won't be completely hopeless!" Portia told me. Why didn't Haymitch tell me? Shouldn't I know this stuff? After all, it was me going into the arena, not him, so why does he get information that I don't know about? I felt myself getting angry, but I had to foret about that now. All that was in my mind was that I had to get some sponsors.
Portia gave me a goodbye smile and walked out the door while three attention grabbing girls walked in. " Hi Peeta, how are you? We are your prep team, to get ready for tonight!" She twirled her bright pink hair and battered her eyelashes at me. Weird. I didn't know Capitol people were able to flirt. Well, I knew one thing, I did not like her back. I haven't liked anybody in forever, and I wanted it to stay that way. I remember the last time I liked a girl in 6th grade.
"Hey Peeta wanna have lunch with me?"
"Um... sure wait let me go tell Delly that I'm going."
"Okay" She said and giggled. I don't know, but I thought she was kind of pretty. Red hair, brown eyes, nice. Everything I wanted.
We had a fun lunch together and started dating for a couple months. But then I found out her true colors.
It was after we got out of school, and I saw her kissing my own brother.
The pain hurt so much, and that was why I decided to never open up my heart to anyone, and my dating experiences were over. I noticed that one of the girls, (not the one who was flirting with me) was studying me very carefully.
"Okay guys, he needs his waxing, we need to make his hair shinier, and... yes that is all!" she announced. I wondered what Katniss was going through, it must have been living hell. I had to admit though, I was a little sacred for the waxing. But when we got out there tonight, the whole Capitol will be impressed and I would be thankful. I wanted to know if my mother would watch, but after some moments of thinking, why would she? She hates me.
My mother led to my father, I missed him so much. He is the only one who really understands me, besides Delly of course. I missed home way more than I should. Whenever I thought of home, the more I wanted it. The more I wanted it, the more I was determined to win the games. So, I should allow this stinging pain on my chest.
Why did I have a pain on my chest?
I was brought back to reality and asked," Why does it hurt so much?"
"Oh that's normal sweetie, you just got waxed of course!" she answered. I really had to start learning names.
I glanced at my chest and realized that it was smooth and shiny. Did I just get waxed without even knowing? My father would of been so proud of me. I chuckled at my thought. Why would my father be even in here?
After they fixed me, my hair was so shiny that you could see your reflection in it. I was sitting on a green sofa waiting for Portia to arrive. I wanted her to come quick, because I was starving. Portia walked in and said," Sorry I am late, I had to make some last minute double checks for your outfit."
I was about to answer when food appeared from nowhere. There were these good looking Cesar salads, with oranges places on the top. I was excited to taste an orange, I had never had one n all my life. They were much too expensive for anyone to have in District 12. There was an odd fizzy drink next to me and I was also tempted to try that too. Everything looked delicious.
Portia and I had lunch, and now it was time for me to meet my outfit. I was curious wondering if it was some weird Capitol garment that I hated. But when Portia pulled it out of a gigantic closet, I guess it wasn't that bad.
" So Peeta, you will be wearing this tonight. It is electric, and when you turn it on it will look like you are on fire. You won't actually be on fire, I guarantee, but I am positive that the Capitol will love this." Portia said.
I was given a couple hours to relax, and I fell asleep immediately. I couldn't sleep last night because I was so nervous of going to the Capitol, and I was dog tired. After a short nap I was told to go upstairs to meet Portia. The bed I was sleeping in was very comfortable, I didn't want to get up. But I did as I was told and left to go change into my costume.
The outfit fit me perfectly, and it was quite comfortable. I was sent to go back downstairs to meet up with Haymitch so he could talk to Katniss and I, but I got down a little early. "So boy, I have an important announcement to make, but I will wait 'till the girl is here so I don't have to repeat meself." Haymitch told me. While we were waiting, I wondered if Haymitch even knew what our names were. Probably not, and I had to admit it, he wasn't the greatest mentor.
Katniss ran down the stairs, and Haymitch started his so called "important" speech. While he was blabbering about something I probably didn't care about, I sneaked a glance at Katniss. She was beautiful, and if I hadn't shut down my heart to girls I might have even flirted with her. No. I can't afford to get my heart broken again. While telling my self I would never see any intrest in any girl ever again, I almost missed the last part on Haymitch's talk.
"You two are going to be star-crossed lovers."
What? No! Never! I don't like her in that way? What if my heart reacts and I start liking her for real? This can't be happening!
I looked at Katniss and her expression was blank. She was probably upset too. But what really got me upset was how the Capitol could control me like this.
I won't allow it.
A/N Okay... I know what you were thinking...What a drag chapter! How crappy! But hey, PPOV is SO not my thing. Can I have 10 reviews? Thanks. Tell me if you hated it as much as I did, or if you thought it was good or OK. But we all agree: NOT MY BEST CHAPTER. Hey guys, can you tell me what was your favorite chapter? It will improve my writing. Thanks!
