Chapter 4: New Stylist

I watched as Haymitch was angry at Peeta. "You made me spill my drink. these are brand new pants. you know, I think I will go finish this in my room" Haymitch said. Haymitch then got up and left. he then grabbed a snack on his way out.

"He's gonna come around" Peeta said as he also got up to chase after Haymitch. "It's no use" Katniss said. "I'm going to talk to him" Peeta said. I sighed. Haymitch reminded me of my Uncle Qrow in a way. "Come on" Katniss said. we got up and went to,

go find Haymitch and Peeta. as we were walking, I saw, Blake, my wife Yang, and Nora walking up to us. "Hey Lana, is everything okay?" Blake said. "Mabye" I said. "Haymitch walked off, and Peeta is looking for him to talk to him" Katniss said.

"Oh, I wonder why" Nora said. "I think it was because Peeta didn't like that Haymitch is drinking" I said. "Oh, sorta got additude like Uncle Qrow" Yang said. "Uncle Qrow quit,

drinking remember?" I said. "Oh, yeah. right" Yang said. "Where are they now?" Blake said. "We don't know, we're looking for them" Katniss said. "I think I might have seen,

them as we were walking by" Nora said. "Can you take us to them, mommy?" I said. "Sure, follow me" Nora said. We then begin walking, following Nora to where Haymitch,

and Peeta are. I and Katniss could hear them talking. "You'd freeze to death first" Peeta said. "No, because I'd light a fire" Haymitch said. "That's a good way to get killed"

Katniss said as we stepped inside. "What's a good way to get killed?" Peeta said. "Oh joy, why don't you two join us?" Haymitch said. the rest of my family is here too. "I was,

just giving some life-saving advice" Haymitch said. "Like what?" I said as we walked up to them and sat down. "I was just asking about how to find shelter. wich would come,

in handy if, in fact, you were still alive" Peeta said. "How do we find shelter?" Katniss said. Haymitch sighed. "Pass the jam" Haymitch said. "How do you find shelter?!" I said,

a bit impatient. "Give me a chance to wake up, sweetheart. this mentoring is very taxing stuff" Haymitch said. "Can you pass me the marmalade?" Haymitch said. I got angry,

and almost stabbed Haymitch's finger with a butter knife as he was reaching out his hand. Effie and some of my parents gasped. my wife, Salem was also shocked. "Look at,

you just killed a placemat" Haymitch said. he took the knife out of the table. "You really want to know how to stay alive? you get people to like you" Haymitch said. I just started at Haymitch. "Oh? not what you were expecting? well, when you are in the middle of the games,

and your starving, or freezing, some water, a knife, or even some matches can mean the difference between life and death. and those things only come from sponsors. and to get sponsors, you have to make people like you.

and right now sweetheart, you are not off to a real good start" Haymitch said. "There it is" Peeta said as he got up to look out the window. I ran up to the window to take a look. "Wow" I said. "it's huge, incredible!" Peeta said. I saw tall buildings outside.

Yang and Weiss walked up to me. "Reminds me of Atlas a bit" Weiss said. "Isn't Atlas bigger?" I said. "It is, the buildings just look farmiliar" Weiss said. we traveled through,

a tunnel. after we reached the end of the tunnel we heard a crowd cheering. when we got out of the tunnel we saw a huge crowd greeting us. people were dressed in fancy,

clothing, and their hairs were in a fancy hair-do. a lot of the women wore make-up. Katniss was still sitting down as the crowd was cheering for us. "Come on, come on"

Peeta said. "Come and see this, Katniss" I said. "You better keep this knife, he knows what he's doing" Haymitch said as he placed the knife on the table.

after a while, we were taken back to a building where I, Katniss, and Peeta, would be getting a special spa treatment. Effie took me back to the rooms where they would,

be giving me the treatment. when I got into one of the rooms, a woman had me put on a blue gown. it was sort of like a hospital gown. I laid on a table that the woman,

instructed me to do. as they were getting me cleaned up, some parts hurt a bit. I cussed as they were tearing the wax paper off my legs. "Ah, fuck!" I cussed as I felt,

the pain. after a while, I was finally ready. they took me back to a different room. I was still laying down on the table, waiting for my stylist to walk into my room. after what felt like forever my dress stylist walked into the room. I sat up to greet him.

the man had black hair, brown eyes, a darker skin tone, and he wore fancy clothing. "Hi" I said a bit shy. "That was a very brave thing there that I thought you did" He said. "Thanks" I said. "What's your name?" I said.

"My name is Cinna. I will be your stylist" He said. "Thats cool. my name is Lana. I am a friend of Katniss Everdeen" I said. "Nice to meet you, I am also Katniss's stylist" Cinna said. "That's cool" I said. "I'm sorry this happened to you. and I am here,

to help in any way I can" Cinna said. "Most people just congratulate me" I said. "And Katniss" I said. "Well, I don't see the point in that. so tonight they have the tribute parade.

I'm gonna take you out and show you and your friend off to the world" Cinna said. "So you are here to make me look pretty?" I said. "I am here to help you make an,

impression. now, usually, they dress people in clothes from their district. Yeah were always colamers" Cinna said. "I don't know if I feel comfortable with that...people will,

probably think of me as a spoiled brat who gets what she wants" I said. "I wanna do something there gonna remember. didn't they talk to you about getting sponsors?"

Cinna said. "Yeah, but I am shy sometimes" I said. "I always stick with my family" I said. "We'll see. I just think someone this brave shouldn't be dressed up in some stupid, costume now should they?" Cinna said. I smiled and giggled a bit.

"I hope not" I said.
