Okay so this is Chapter 4 :D yay! Anyway this one is in the pov's of Cole, Ashlyn, Zebra and Fabien and it might be a little long cause it is the interviews: D
Cole
I watched as Kyna was interviewed. The buzzer went off and Mr. Bruten said good-bye to her and she returned to her seat next to me.
I heard my name called and I stood up. I had never been on tv before, I guess there was a first time for everything.
Yeah like a first time for talking about a pretend game show and then them sending you and everyone else off to their deaths I thought to myself and walked up on stage.
"Welcome Cole!" Mr. Bruten greeted Cole and he slipped into the chair. "Let's start things off; I understand that you have a brother… Ono isn't it?"
I nodded. I didn't really want to talk about my family; I probably wouldn't be seeing them again.
"Well I've heard from some insiders that he came to visit you the night you left correct?" the host asked I nodded.
"Uh…yeah he came to wish me luck" I lied. I had no choice I couldn't exactly say 'He said he was scared for me because the games are starting again' now could I?
"Ah… that's very nice are you two close?" he asked.
"I guess you can say that" I responded.
"Well that's good, brothers need to be close, in case anything happens, and they always have each other's back!" Bruten said.
Suddenly I heard the buzzed go off.
"Nice meeting you Cole, now you may return to backstage" Mr. Bruten said and I left.
I sat back in my seat next to Kyna. "He knows something…"
Kyna nodded.
Ashlyn
I fiddled with my hair as tribute after tribute went to get interviewed. It was finally almost her turn that District 3 boy was being interviewed.
The buzzer dinged and Agernon left the stage. I got out of my seat and walked up onto the stage. I sat down in the seat and looked at Mr. Bruten.
"Miss Ashlyn very nice to meet you" Mr. Bruten said.
"Nice to meet you too" I responded.
"As you can probably tell I have many people within the districts and I understand that you and Grey have a little conflict going on…am I right?" he asked.
"Yes you are completely right besides it not a little conflict; he tossed my book into the ocean!" I complained.
"Ahh…books yes very…entertaining" the host said.
"And It wasn't just any book…it was my favorite!" I continued.
"And may I ask what that book was?"
"A very old copy of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, it was rare and a good read!" I argued. The buzzer went off and I left the stage but couldn't resist the temptation to trip Grey as he walked up on to it. I smirked and sat back down in my seat.
"Ah Grey very nice to meat you too" Mr. Bruten said.
"Yeah sure" Grey said rubbing his arm because he had fallen on it.
"So let's hear your side of the story, why did you throw her book in the ocean?"
"Only because she had dropped my essay in a paper shredder and I had spent all night working on it…thanks to her I had gotten an F!"
"That's not true!" I yelled from backstage. "It feels off the table into the shredder!"
Grey rolled his eyes. "And after I dropped her book into the ocean she threw me in!"
"My my, you two do have a big conflict here too bad you have to work together during the game show…tsk tsk tsk" Mr. Bruten said. The buzzer buzzed and Grey walked off the stage and sat back down next to me. I glared at him.
Fabien
This was really boring. Just sitting here listening to Mr. Bruten ask people random questions, I just wanted to get mine over with, actually I wanted to get everyone's over with so we could leave.
I glanced up at the stage as Malaya was called up; she was the district 6 female tribute. Might as well listen I guess.
"So you are from District 6 right, the district of transportation?" Bruten asked and she nodded.
"Yeah" she responded.
"So what does your family do for a living?" he asked.
"My dad fixes cars and my mom's not in the picture" Malaya explained.
"Ah, cars so…car-like" Bruten said. "Well has your dad taught you anything about cars or vehicles?"
"Everything he knows, I can take a car apart and put it back together" she said seeming a bit full of herself.
"Well that seems like a good skill to have in District 6"
"It is"
The buzzer went off and I sat there through Iran's and Song's interview. I sighed finally when my name was called.
"Ah, Fabien" Mr. Bruten said as I sat down.
"Err…hello" I responded.
"Now I've heard that you're somewhat of a Hunger Games expert am I right?" Bruten asked.
"Yeah, I know basically everything about them" I said.
"Well then lets have a little quiz, you fine with that?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure" I said eager to let the world know of my knowledge.
"How were tributes chosen during the first Quarter Quell?"
"They were voted in"
"In the 50th hunger game how did Haymitch win?"
"He used the force field to bounce the District 1 girl's axe back and it killed the girl"
"Who was the female tribute for the 74 hunger game?"
"Katniss Evergreen"
"And the male?"
"Peeta Mellark" I smirked this was too easy. Finally the buzzer went off and I returned to my seat.
Zebra
My hair was bugging me. I usually kept it pinned back away from my face but my stylists had cut my bangs so they were too short and I couldn't put them back and they hadn't given me a pin or barrette or anything.
I heard my name called and I walked up on stage and nearly tripped in the high heels, I never wore these at home. I sat down in the seat and looked at Mr. Bruten.
"Welcome Zebra" he said.
"Hello" I responded.
"So you're from District 11, the tree and fruit district, do you enjoy the trees?" he asked.
"Um, yeah I do, I climb them all the time." I answered.
"Have you've ever fallen out of one?"
"No, well not exactly my friend Mace pushed me out" I said and then I knew Mace was watching this and he was going to kill me for telling the story.
"Oh, do tell" Mr. Bruten said.
"Well it was about a year ago and I had climbed up in a tree looking for ripe fruit and I hadn't noticed Mace climbing up after me, he normally doesn't climb trees so I didn't think that he would." I began. "He scared me and I feel but luckily safely. Then our other friend Cama, yelled BOO and he feel on his face."
Mr. Bruten laughed a little. "Well that's some payback for him."
"Yeah I guess so" I said and then the buzzer went off and I left the stage sitting down in my seat again.
I swatted my bangs annoyed at them and then sighed. I hated these bangs.
LINE
I glanced up at the stage as Sayde walked up to it. She sat down in the chair and looked at Mr. Bruten.
"Hello Miss Sayde" Bruten said.
"Hello" Sayde said.
"So what's your life like in District 12?" he asked.
"Well it's pretty normal. I have friends and schoolwork." She answered.
"Nothing interesting about your life?" he asked
"No, not really it's pretty dull" she said.
"Well I'm sure all this will change after the game show" Bruten concluded
"Sure, maybe" Sayde shrugged. They sat in silence for a moment before the buzzer went off and she returned to her seat. I glanced at her.
"I told you I was boring" she said as she sat down and I laughed.
