Now we are at the interviews. I was not going to make a different interview for each tribute so i just gave you an overview of their interviews. Hope you like it!
Today Daphne wakes us up earlier than ever. I guess is since we have to get dress and makeup. The Capitol is so much brighter than the districts. When I went to the breakfast table, I had the same breakfast, eggs, sausage, pancakes and a green Capitol drink.
"Good morning." I say. Once Steven and I get to the table, Sabrina and Maximus stat to talk about the interview outfits. I'll just be wearing a regular blue dress and Steven a gray blazer.
My whole prep team leads me into a room and fix me up again. I get my hair washed and done, my nails painted and they even get polished. It's amazing how perfect Ajax wants my nails to be. I couldn't even move while he was painting them in fear that he would yell at me. He was so strict on what to do while he was painting my nails.
"Don't move an inch or you'll damage them!" or "No! No! No! Don't touch my apple, you can handle a while without eating, you're fine! Now come over here so I can finish painting you're nails!" I was so happy when he left the room so I could put my clothes on.
For the interviews, the female tribute goes first and then the male tribute goes. This year Caesar's hair is green and he is wearing a midnight blue suit with little light bulbs.
The interviews are almost going to start but first when have to wait in line for the Capitol to add the final touches. I see Miller right in front of me so I decide to talk to him.
"Are you nervous?" I ask Miller.
"Yes, of course. I haven't seen my family in so long but they have been watching me all this time, the parade, the scores, everything." Miller answers.
"Yes, I wish I could see my family."
"Me too. How is District 10?"
"It's nice; mostly farmland but my family never owned a farm. I was one of the hunters."
"Is that why you did so good in the examination?"
"Yes. What about you, how is District 9?"
"It's nice, I like it. There are wheat and grain fields."
"What do you make?"
"Well I make bread and other pastries, that's all I can make. What about you?"
"I make stew and any food with meat, except for fish, that's District 4. The Capitol says that District 10 gives meat which raises the healthy children of Panem, more like the healthy children of the Capitol."
"That's so true, the same with the other districts, I wish someone would just stand up to the Capitol." Miller whispers.
"I'm a hunter, what are you?"
"I am a harvester."
"All I really care is if I last the first day in the Games."
"Me too, it is really tough just to get things from the Cornucopia."
"I wish it was like the first Hunger Games, no deaths, they were lucky."
"Yes but the Games were new to the districts, now it is a death sentence, well for most of us."
"True, well good luck on your interview." I say as I see Caesar walking up to the stage.
"You too." Miller says smiling.
"Hello citizens of the Capitol! It's already that time of year, the Hunger Games!" Caesar booms. The crowd is going crazy. "Let's see what our tributes, of many different ages, have to say." Then the interviews start. Diamond and Mace just show off about their skills. Alexis just talks about weapons while Nolan tries to show off. Gadge talks about her sister and Lumen, I can't really say that much stuff about him. He may be a mischievous person be he is a real nerd. Brooke, she just talks about domination and other types of stuff that I can't remember. Roman just complains on how no one volunteered for him since he is not that old, maybe two or three years older than me. Both Nina and Isaac are in "love" with the Capitol when I know that they really aren't. Casey, I don't really know what to say about her, she has no talent. The there's Carter, who rarely speaks to Caesar. Amber has a way to convince everyone that she is the victor while Jack is a big grammar corrector. Paige who is so nice and sweet but then Burton comes along and is the complete opposite. Arely acts okay on the outside but in the inside I know that she tries to answer Caesar's question without tearing up. Miller is young but reasonably smart for someone his age. Then there's me.
A guard leads me to a small staircase with lights. I wait for my name to be called. My heart is racing. "And now for our youngest tribute, Ginger from District 10!" I walk up the staircase and see the giant crowd but that's not all. Everyone in all of Panem is watching me, including my family. "How do you feel Ginger?"
"I am excited to be here." I say.
"That's great! Now does a little girl like you have any power, I'm sure you do!"
"Yes, I think I'm fine, considering my age."
"Can we see some of your tricks here?"
"That's for you guys to watch during the Games."
"That's what I like to hear, some secretive stuff! Now, I don't meant to get personal but how did you feel when your name was called?" I blank out. I start looking my bracelet and remembering every detail of the horrid moment. "Ginger, are you okay?" asks Caesar in concern.
"Oh yes. Sorry. I-I felt like my whole world fell apart."
"Good luck. Ginger, District 10!" I leave the stage and go to the back where I could see all of the other tribute's interviews. At least I go that over with. I think. "Let's give a warm welcome to Steven!" Steven gets up on stage and waves to the crowd.
"I see a very positive and happy man, are you happy enough to love the Capitol?"
"Of course! I like everything, what's not to like!"
"That's amazing! I just love to hear people love the Capitol, don't you?" I can hear the crowd mumbling in agreement.
"Do you have any hidden talents?"
"I am strong and smart so yes."
"What are you going to do to stay alive as long as possible?"
"Anything I need to do."
"Well, we will see what that means tomorrow! Steven, District 10!" Then the rest of the districts pass. Willow just talks about how she got her name. None of the tributes seem like a threat until Spud comes on; he is as strong as they get someone else to watch out for. Charity is sweet and fragile while Cole has nothing to talk about so Caesar had to ask him some random questions. Then the interviews end.
"Good night! And may the odds be ever in your favor!" Caesar yells when all the interviews are over. All of the tributes go to their escort, mentor, prep team and stylists. Daphne tells us,
"You were great!"
"I loved every minute of it." says Maximus.
"Couldn't have done it better myself." says Hestia.
"Let's go and celebrate!" says Sabrina. We go to the house and have a big feast. Talking about feelings, and having fun. It is about eight in the night when Daphne tells us.
"Steven and Ginger, it's time to fall asleep now. Tomorrow is the Games!" When Daphne says it, my heart stops. It has a different ring to it. I go to bed but it takes me forever to sleep. Waking up, nightmares of my own death, some crying until I finally fall asleep. I don't want to wake up tomorrow.
Finally! We are at the last chapter before the Games start! I am so happy for the Cornucopia scene and I can't wait! So here you also found out about some of the characters personalities. It may not be much information now but is will (hopefully) come together throughout the whole story.
