HI THEREEE. :D
I think I'm not going to focus on the games in this chapter. I don't really know yet. Haha. I just write things as I go. XD I'll probably add some teenie tiny bits of the games. :P
Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games. But I have the book. :DDDD
Finnick
As I watch Rue and Dave walk through the woods during lunch time, Felicia sits there complaining about Lynette, "I hate her so much! She's so annoying! Why do you like her?" I roll my eyes, "Well, I don't know." Her jaw drops and she glares at me, "What do you mean you don't know?!" she screams. Everyone in the cafeteria stares at her. She sighs and puts her head into her arms.
"Why is it so hard for people to like me?" she asks quietly. "Maybe it's because you're mean to people." I reply to her. She shoots her head up, "Are you saying that I'm mean?!" she shouts again. Everyone in the cafeteria stares at her again and she puts her head back into her arms, "I want mom back." she says. I pat her back, "She'll come around soon. Don't worry." I say, trying to cheer her up.
"She'll come around soon? She hasn't been here for 13 years! I don't think she's ever coming back!" she shouts angrily, with water in her eyes. She quickly wipes them away and storms out of the cafeteria. I sigh and somehow feel guilty for hurting her feelings so I go and follow her. Unfortunately, the hallway is empty. I walk along the long hallway until I hear someone crying. I follow the sound and open the janitors' closet. I'm surprised to find Felicia there.
"Go away." she says, barely in a whisper. I walk over to her and hug her. I don't usually hug people besides my sister but I don't really feel awkward with Felicia. For the past few years, we hated each other. But since Rue is in the games, I guess Felicia's the only one I can turn to. I have stayed at their place because mom and dad are always mentoring the tributes. If only Rue gets home, "This is a bit awkward for me." Felicia says, breaking my thoughts. I shrug and say, "It isn't for me." She stares at me weirdly, "You have hugged girls before?" I laugh, "Only Rue. But, yeah.."
Awkward silence...
"Thanks for being there when Dave's gone. I don't think he'll make it." she says, breaking the silence a few minutes later. I raise an eyebrow, "You don't believe in your own brother?" I ask her. "No! I do! But, he wants to protect Rue and make her win. If they were in the Final 2, he would've killed himself to make her win." she says. I sigh, "These games are so unfair." She nods, "I wish our life was peaceful. And I want mom back."
When Dave told the story of when their mother left them, Felicia went to her room and cried all day. I was staying at their house when that happened. It was best to leave her alone so I told her father that I had to do something at home. Most people don't know that about Felicia. Most people think that she's a mean and cruel person but deep down inside she's a broken piece. Not because of the games, no! But because she never had a mother to sing her to sleep, a mother to talk to and a mother who cares for her.
"Guess we better get to class soon." she says. I nod and hellp her stand up. I notice that her eyes are still red and puffy, "You wanna wash your face first?" I ask her. She nods and goes into the girls' bathroom. After around 5 minutes, she goes out and we both walk to our classes.
Rue
We have been walking for a few minutes until we finally find a sturdy tree to sleep in. I wonder what my family's doing right now. Mostly thinking about Finn. I wonder how he's coping with all of this. And Felicia. Wonder how she copes with her brother and her, well.. frenemy in the games. Do I consider her as a friend? Maybe, if I win the games and go home, we can actually be good friends instead of always arguing with each other.
What about mom and dad? Are they trying to get me sponsors? Are they triying to get Dave sponsors? Hopefully because we might need some things soon, "I feel tired." I say to him. He nods, "Me too." "If our sponsors would send us something to keep us awake." I say. Suddenly, a parachute lands on top of the branch above us.
I grab it and look at the contents. There's 2 cups of some hot chocolate. Only it doesn't smell like it, "Why would they send us this?" I ask Dave. He shrugs, "I don't know but we wouldn't like it to go to waste." he says. I shrug and take the smaller cup. Dave takes the bigger one, "Cheers." we says, unexcitedly. We both take a sip and I start chugging down the whole mug. I start jumping excitedly and almost fall out of the tree. Dave puts his cup into the parachute and starts jumping excitedly as well.
I look at my hand and find it shaking vigorously, "Wow, what is this stuff? It's making me very hyper!" I exclaim. Dave shrugs, "I don't know. But it's sure making us shake a lot!"
I wonder what this thing is called. It definitely isn't hot chocolate. What a gift the sponsors give us.
Finnick
As Rue and Dave shake vigorously after having their drink, the school bell rings and we are all dismissed. Usually during the games, we get dismissed early. I walk out of the classroom and try to find Felicia. Her last lesson is in History so I'm guessing she will be in room 203, "Hey, Finn." someone says. I turn around and see Felicia standing there, "Come on, let's go home." she says.
As we walk out of the school, we spot Lynette and her friends sitting on a bench, laughing. As soon as they spot us, they immediately start whispering. From the corner of my eye, I see Felicia roll her eyes, "They really need to learn not to keep it so obvious." she says. I shrug and we both start walking home.
"Thanks for being there for me. I guess I never really had any friends." she says unexpectedly. I don't know how to reply to that. I'm not as good as words as my dad, okay? Rue's so much better at that, "Look, I'm not good at this stuff so I'll just say... Thanks?" I say to her, nervously. She starts laughing, "Oh, Finn. You will never be as smooth as your dad and sister." she says. I glare at her and she hits me playfully. Soon enough, we reach her house. She opens the door and stops in her place.
"Felicia? What's wrong?" I ask, worried. She's still in her place, holding the door knob, back slightly bent. I push her out of the way and drag her inside when I finally see why she was shocked. In the living room, there is a woman with dark brown, short hair staring at us while looking at the screen.
"Hello." she says.
Ooooooh! I wonder who it is! :DDDDD Can't wait for you to find out (But you might already know who it is anyway :P). I shall leave you with your peace. XD
