Chapter 10 Caythin Spinner
"Don't worry she's fine. Henrietta needs to sleep for the rest of the night." Carri said with her usual cheerful voice.
"Let me see Henrietta." I said.
"Caythin I know your worried but-. "
"NOW." I yelled.
She let me into the room where Henrietta is, I could of sworn I saw the Grim Reaper behind Henrietta when she fell, just waiting for her to die so he can take her away from me. Forever. I sit on her bed; I put my hand on her forehead, to check if she has a fever, she feels warm but not burning. She lies in a cradle position; Henrietta has a habit of sucking her thumb when she sleeps. It reminds me of our first months of living together. Those dark bitter months, the districts tried their best, but none really got past their own borders. They were fools to believe that Katniss will free them.
Carri calls me to the living room because our scores from the private sessions are being broadcasted; starting from District 1 they give out our scores. Many of the tributes ether got 6, 8, or 9. Mila got a 10 and Miles got a 8. The moment of truth is here, my score was announced first. Everyone in the room gasped when they see my score, a zero. Carri, the stylists, everyone stares at me with sorrow eyes, how, how did I even get a 0? Henrietta's score was the same.
I'm left speechless, I can't think of anything else, I immediately run to Henrietta's room. Does this mean we don't get any sponsors? I don't know what we did wrong, we were better, fitter than half of the other tributes! There was a scrawny boy from 6 and yet he got a 8, a 8 for goodness sake!
I silently get in the bed where Henrietta is sleeping in, Carri said that Henrietta is going to be ok, I hope she is right. It's around 9 o'clock so I guess it's an appropriate time to be in bed. I didn't want to tell Carri that Starotin was angry with me as well, l was going to say it after Henrietta mentioned his expression, but I never got around to it. Gazing at her for about an hour, I can almost read her dream. She is having a great dream from what I can tell, watching her makes me sleepy so I decide to close my eyes for a while. My little nap turned out to be a full out sleep because it was 10 am. Henrietta wasn't in the bed, or in the room for that matter. I crawled out of bed and into the living room where I find Carri and a sobbing Henrietta sitting in a sofa.
"I told her about the scores Caythin." said Carri.
"I…I think he has something against us." Henrietta said.
I looked down at my bare feet, clenching my fists, I said,
"Your right."
