So I've done 1/2 of what I said I would do, which too be honest is more than I thought, so woohoo. School has been cancelled for the rest of the semester, and I barely get the chance to leave my house, so hopefully I'll finish this story within the next month or so. That'll be amazing because it's been almost two years since i started this, I sorta gave up but now I want to finish this. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
The Parade
Ivory Blossom, 24, Capitol Citizen
The Tribute Parade was a day I loved. And for the first time ever, I was there with a front row seat! My father got me a ticket just under a year ago, right when they came on sale.
"Welcome to the 100th Hunger Games Tribute Parade!" Torrac screamed into the huge microphone in front of the President's Mansion, where Eve Tides would be coming out of shortly.
I jumped up and screamed. I was so excited.
"Let's get this started!" he screamed, then nodded to the camera. The huge doors that the tributes would come out of swung open, revealing the District 1 tributes, Eagle and Sadie. Sadie was wearing a white gown, studded with what appeared to be diamonds, and Eagle was wearing a white tuxedo with a black bowtie, and at the corner of his eyes were diamonds. I decided then that my wedding dress would be based off of Sadies dress. The two of them looked amazing, which the District one tributes always did.
D2: Ajax was in a tuxedo, which was unusual for District 2, and Darwin was in the same thing. It was an unusual outfit, but I did like how they matched.
D3: Jollin looked so sweet and sad in his simple gray dress shirt and black pants, while Bug looked extremely creepy in a short gray dress that looked like it had very slight blood stains on it. Their outfits were not great, but I did like Jollin.
D4: Blaze was glaring at all of us in his tight turquoise jumpsuit with a trident in his hand, while Serena was waving at all of us and smiling in her matching turquoise skirt. They both looked good, but I didn't like Blaze much. He seemed like he was too arrogant.
D5: Marvlo and Emalynn were both wearing silver bodysuits that seemed to be giving off lightning. They were holding hands and looked super cute. These were definitely my favorite outfits yet.
D6: Aston was wearing a tan suit with different vehicles imprinted onto it, and Finleigh was wearing the same thing but in dress form. They both looked good, minus the fact the Aston was obviously a morphine addict.
D7: Briar was wearing a brown suit with green leaves engraved on it, and Raylie was wearing a bright green dress with branches engraved onto it. They were facing each other, holding hands and my heart broke a little for them.
D8: Flax had his hands cuffed and he was wearing a striped prison jumpsuit. Dude was creepy, but Stitch looked super cute in her lavender dress.
D9: Lennox was in a tan suit with different grains engraved onto it in a light brown, and Barley was in a long tan dress with the same design on it. Barley looked really cute, but Lennox looked kinda creepy, with a manic grin on his face.
D10: Shey and Falco were wearing matching red clothes, with Shey in a dress tied in the back with black ribbon, and Falco in a red suit with a black dress suit. They were super cute together, and again my heart broke a little.
D11: Cobalt was wearing a brown suit and Lilac was in a brown dress. You could tell they didn't like each other, and you could tell that their stylists didn't like them too.
D12: Ellis and Liva both wore black, with Liva in a long dress and Ellis in a black dress shirt and pants, and it seemed like fire was coming off of them. The fire changed colors slowly- red to orange to yellow to wite to blue, and it was amazing.
The chariots drove to the front of the mansion and stood in a semi-circle around the mansion, where President Eve Tides was standing.
"Happy 100th Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!" she yelled. I stood up with the rest of the crowd and started screaming with them. "May I present to you, your tributes: Eagle Rose and Sadie Daylock from District 1, Ajax Romero and Darwin Loncar from District 2, Jollin Kraser and Bug Lumen from District 3, Blaze Coil and Serena Waters from District 4, Marvlo Atkinson and Emalynn Coria from District 5, Aston Axle and Finleigh Marrone from District 6, Briar Dogwood and Raylie Hatchet from District 7, Flax Burton and Stitch Wilson from District 8, Lennox Thorn and Barley Kleid from District 9, Falco Gael and Shey Nox from District 10, Cobalt Roots and Lilac Amrin from District 11, aaaand Ellis Wilker and Liva Mentris from District 12."
The crowd went wild, and so did I. The Games hadn't even started yet, and I was already starting to form connections with these tributes. This was going to be a great Hunger Games, and I could not wait to see it!
