"Blossom did you sleep at all?", Vans asked me when I walk into the prep room. "Of course I did, but did you expect me to sleep peacefully so close to the games?", I reply knowing that he can't argue with my logic. "Ah I suppose makeup as always will save the day", he says and with that he leaves me to my prep team to be washed, dried, waxed and plucked within an inch of my life. I'm from the Capitol but even I'm not prepared for the amount of work that has to be done to make me presentable for the cameras. Vans enters again once the dirty work has been done to direct the team on how to apply my make up, which is quite natural just strong brows, long lashes and flawless looking skin. He then reveals the dress he's been working on for weeks. It's light blue, just the right shade to make my eyes pop. It looks like a simple strapless dress but when he turns it around I see an intracit design made of lace which must be what was actually going to hold the dress to my body. It caught the light around the room and shimmered as the fabric moved. I put it on and the fabric was softer than silk. Tall silver heels were left at my feet to put on and my hair was left down around my shoulders. "We don't need to do anything too dramatic with you honey because you already shine like the stars. It's a shame that you have to go in there, but hopefully I'll see that beautiful face in the victors chair when it's all over", Vans said. I choked up a little, not realising how fond of him I'd become. "I hope I'll see you too", is all that I manage to say then someone knocks at our door telling us that the interviews are staring soon.

Zara looks stunning in an orange floor length gown that makes her olive skin look beautifully sun-kissed and it makes her look older than her 12 years. Michael and Zach's stylists both went with suits but Michael's is in Brown and Zach's is in black. Compared to other Zones we look kind of plain, many of them have flashy outfits but Katniss told us our theme was a nautural theme. The tributes have already started their interviews. Some are charming, some are funny, some are quiet and some sound almost vicious. I never thought anyone from the Capitol would have any blood lust in them but I guess I was wrong. Katniss took each of us for an hour this morning and helped us to decide how we would handle the situation. After 45 minutes she said, "You're much more like me than I thought Blossom, I guess that means that you should be honest. My friend Cinna told me to answer the questions like I was talking to him. Well you should answer them like you're talking to me, okay?" I told her I'd try my best but I still felt slightly unprepared. I wished everyone luck and just like with the display for the Gamemakers it was like time sped up and suddenly I was next. Somehow Caeser Flickerman had survived the war and it was him that said, "Next up Zone 6's Blossom Lore"

I walked out and heard the applause of the crowd, and I scanned it untill I found Katniss. I t was a relief to be able to see her. I sat down and Caeser told me my 4 minute interview was starting. He asked me all about my life back home, and I explained to him how my parents and sister had died and how I was orphaned. "Oh you poor dear", he said. To which I replied, "At least no one will have to watch me die in the next few days." there was a gasp from the audience as if they hadn't been expecting me to say that, and Caeser told me that all of Panem would mourn the loss of each dead tribute, and that you never knew I could be the one coming out alive. I answered all of the questions about training and my preparations truthfully but Caeser's last question caught me by surprise. "Do you have a boyfriend Blossom", he asked. "Um... eh well um no", I stammered, already feeling my cheeks going crimson. " Well that's good because we've heard that one of your fellow tributes has a crush on you. It's like another Katniss and Peeta. Maybe you two can both survive the games, I certainly feel like your relationship would go far!", he says and with that my interview is over. Now I know what Katniss felt like. Embarrassment didn't even begin to describe what I was feeling right now. One thing was comforting me though, Caeser had said he knew my secret crush and I would go far. He put so much emphasis on that last word that I was certain I was right. He was talking about Zach, I mean his last name is FARgil how much more obvious could he get. Still I wasn't exactly hopeful about a sudden whirlwind romance occurring in the arena but you never really knew, the Games always surprised us.
