Electra Milani, District Eleven Female (18)
Electra doesn´t feel ready to do this.
But she has set herself a challenge, and when she does that, she finishes them. It isn´t as if she is just a Brainiac from District Three who only does what he needs to do for the job. No, she is going to do it because she is in love.
Or at least she thinks she is.
The sounds of the mayor´s daughter party is flashing through the air, and the lights are blinding her, so she sits on a chair and waits for Amper to appear. She has to, is the only way. Since the both kissed, she had been in love with her, but she can´t spell the words, and when she does… she doesn´t want to think of the rejection. She wants to be with her no matter what.
Electra grabs some drinks from a guy´s hand, thanking him for passing by with her head, and the guy leaves angry. She needs the alcohol, but she hasn´t found with it yet. It wasn´t in the kitchen, the most obvious place ever. So where is it?
"Hi." A guy next to her says. He is obviously younger than her for a few years, and even though that hasn´t ever stopped the great Electra Milani from getting what she wants, she doesn´t respond. She doesn´t want to talk to him now.
"I am Shale. Shale Harrison." She knows what she is going to say, but before she can say no to his proposal, Amper appears.
With a guy by holding her arm.
That bitch, how dare he steal her from me.
Electra feels like if she wants to throw up, but for some reason she doesn´t. Instead, she smiles as Amper nears her with her "boyfriend".
"Electra! You came!"
"How could I not come. It´s a party" Electra wants to throw darts at Amper´s guy head, but alas, she has none. "It´s my natural element."
"Have you met my boyfriend, Scot?" Electra wants to say Yes, I have met him. The time he just appeared like an asshole beside you. But the words don´t come out.
"Hi, how are you. Nice to meet you Electra" It´s as nice to meet you as it is nice to be thrown shit at my face.
Electra sees the guy still standing next to her, the one who obviously tried to flirt with her, what was his name? Slate? No, it was Shale. She makes plan she only hopes it works.
"And it´s time you guys meet my boyfriend, Shale. Say hi Shale" She says while hugging the stranger and kissing him on the mouth like Amper must do when Scot and her are having- Electra doesn´t want to think of that. She never wants to think of that.
"He-Hello, friends!" Shale appears to be playing along, or at least be as stupid that he would be her boyfriend in three seconds.
"Oh. I didn´t know you liked younger people, Ele." Amper almost always calls her Ele, and Ele loves it. It makes her feel gratified.
"I like everyone. Well not everyone, but you know what I mean." Ele tries to be smug about it, but she feels like she is failing. What if Amper never loves her? What will happen then?
"Ampy, can we go to my friends? The guys of the field are waiting."
"Oh, sorry love. Bye Ele! Have a good day."
As they leave, Electra finally throws up in a garbage can nearby. She can´t handle the emotions inside of her. She needs to purge herself for loving the wrong person.
"Are you okay?" The guy Shale says to her, having followed to the garbage. She is garbage, after all, why doesn´t Amper love her then?
"It´s okay if she doesn´t love you. It´s okay. Someone will love you on the future, and I know that person will be extremely kind to you and will be your protector and savior."
Ele doesn´t know what to say to the stranger´s words, but she accepts them.
"Thanks… Shale, right?"
"The magnificent Shale at your service madam" He says while making a reverence at her. Electra has to laugh at that.
She is about to ask him if he can be accompanying her while she throws up when he says he needs to look for his friends.
"I need to look for Geoff and Sulani. Want to accompany me?"
"No, it´s fine. I am fine. You can leave."
And as he leaves and she throws up again, she realizes she was never fine.
Kristoph Wyatt, District Five Male (17)
Kristoph is getting ready.
To leave the party, that´s it. He has spent a lot of time in it already and he usually tries to stay the longer possible, but he has other business to attend afterwards, so he got to leave now.
He starts getting ready by saying goodbye courteously to everyone important. George, the mayor of District Five, who has many secrets and usually tries to repent his son from his "sexual undoing". It´s no wonder his son, Jeremiah, is so easy to control and he is able to tell what he does so easily. He is very naïve, Jeremiah that´s it, and so he is able to get him to do whatever he wants.
Then he says goodbye to the family of the Head Peacekeeper of District Five, Johnson. She is always talking about the crimes in town, specially about a certain girl who calls herself Breaker and says she is genderfluid, whatever trend that is. He knows that there are non-binary people in the Capitol, but he is astonished that there are some in the districts. He has always assumed they were just a trend that would disappear sometime soon, a way to stand out from other people and get power from others by doing exactly that.
Her daughter Serena, sends a wink in his direction, but it´s nothing sexual. It´s just work between companions in this gigantic world of district nobility, so to speak.
He tells the maid to give him his coat and his scarf, always in style with the mayor trends running in his social world, and gets out. The cold air of this June night is freezing his ass off, but he can´t complain near his equals, only on people on lower status you can show what you truly think.
Kristoph has no idea why he thought that, but he decides to continue his journey to the place he sleeps in.
"Care to join our game, sir?" A girl with masculine air has appeared in front of him, with a girl of much more feminity and obviously more fit for the social status someone like Kristoph deserves. Kristoph doesn´t even thinks in the first girl´s proposal, only thinking that if the second girl weren´t so poor looking, she would be making a good trophy wife based on her looks.
"So, what´s your game, ladies?" Kristoph doesn´t want to engage in their little thing, he never understood the appeal of helping poor people, except if it was to look better in front of other people. That he understands. "What are you going to do?"
"Just look at my two hands" The first girl, he realizes that she is younger that the second girl.
"What about the- "Kristoph can´t finish in the sentence because the next instant he feels immense pain in his private area, and then he falls back-faced to the ground thanks to a certain fist going straight to this face.
As he falls into the ground, and the girls start taking his stuff, he can only feel pain. And a desire for revenge. He only needs to know the name of one of the girls and his revenge will be completed.
He grabs the younger girl´s legs and drags her into the ground before she starts running away.
"What´s your name? HUH?" The other girl starts to push him away, but he feels like he will achieve his goal soon.
"Leave my sibling alone!"
"Actually," The younger person says as Kristoph is held by the two of them. "I am feeling like a girl today, so it´s pretty cool if you call me a sister today."
Kristoph now knows about he had to know. So, what he does? He lets them steal from him. As the robbers leave, Kris thinks it would make for a great pity story for the rich of the high society. That person is going to the hunger games. Since the Capitol asked every possible tribute to add his name themselves into the bowl, the person most likely added his own "new" name into the bowl, they will be easy to find.
Kristoph runs home, nose bleeding, vengeance ready to be implemented. He doesn´t care for his father asking how he is when he arrives, his mother asking why he is so goddamn late. He doesn´t care that when he calls their house a "poor people´s home", his parents start screaming at him. He just goes to the living room and calls Johnson, saying his has an idea to help him get rid of a certain someone.
Plans are made. Plans are finished.
