Chapter 10: Interview

SANTANA POV:

Calm down Santana. Best till last, right? Rod Remmington steps onto the stage as we take our seats. He's been doing these interviews for years. The weird thing is that he always looks the same. Actually, it's not that weird when you consider how filthy rich he is. He tells a few jokes to warm up the audience but it isn't long before he gets down to business.

"Callie Jones!" Callie steps up to join him on the stage. She's wearing a flowing gold gown but her stylist let her down on the makeup once again. Try the natural look for a change! It doesn't take long to figure out what her angle is. She's 'feisty yet sexy' all the way. I suppose the feisty bit kinda suits her. I would've gone more along the lines of heartless bitch but then again I do passionately hate her.

The interviews last for exactly three minutes, after that you'll get cut off, even if you're halfway through saying something. A bit like Adele at the Brits although most people don't swear at Rod. He always does his best to make the tributes look as good as possible. I sit and watch as the other tributes step up. Jacob Rinksphere's going for ruthless killing machine, the AV clubs tribute, Dom Woodger, is going mysterious, (Not much acting involved there, all I know about him is his name and that he goes to this school, and I pride myself in knowing everything about everyone), Emma Smith from the synchronised swimming team is going sly and elusive (don't be fooled by the name and the club, she is both those things), Valentina DiCaprio from girls soccer is going fun and flirty and the hockey player Dave Perry is going funny and charming. That's just to name a few. Josephine Helm is the last tribute before me. She practically floats her way up to Rod, she's wearing a beautiful dark pink dress that perfectly accents her straight, dark hair which is left loose over her shoulders. She's so small. At fourteen she's the youngest in the school, she could pass as a twelve year old is she wanted too. Rod talks to her about her acting and what she hopes to do if she wins the games. When he asks her what her best asset for winning them is she didn't hesitate with her answer

"I'm fast which makes me hard to catch. And if they can't catch me they can't kill me."

The buzzer sounds. My turn.

"Santana Lopez" Time to act. You can do this. I look at the ground as I walk up to Rod, refusing eye contact, and sit down in the chair.

"So, Santana," He starts "How are you today?"

"Fine." I answer quietly, still not looking at him. A few other questions like that go on and then he finally asks me the question that will give me the greatest opportunity for weakness

"So, you volunteered in the place of Brittany S Pierce?" I nod meekly "Can you explain, in your own words, what made you do that?" Who else's words would I use idiot. God, this guy's helpful and everything but he gets more on my nerves than Berry and that's saying something.

"Well, um…" I finally look up at the audience "I couldn't let her do the Hunger Games, I just couldn't, she wouldn't be able to kill people and, she's got such a great life ahead of her, she's so talented. I-I just couldn't."

"She's your girlfriend right?" I not "How long have you known her"

"Since kindergarten"

"Wow. So did you know how you felt back then?"

"I-I don't know, I mean I went through a lot of denial so…" I trail off as the buzzer rings and let out a sigh of relief that's only half faked.

"Well, there you have it!" Rod announces as I make my way back to my seat "Your twenty four tributes! Make sure you all tune in for the results of there private training sessions with the gamekeepers!" Why the cheeriness? It's not like they have a choice, it's all mandatory viewing. I'm so looking forward to it though. Another chance to show off how weak I am! Joy.

I can't believe I told her that she'd work on a pole. Now she might not get the chance to work at all. No chance to follow her dreams.

RORY POV:

Santana can't die. She's practically family now. She lives with me and she has to live to be my sister in law. She has too.
