Katniss's POV
It's the day of the party and once again I can't find anything half descent to wear, so as usual, I text Cinna. Knowing it'll take a while for him to reply, I get my mum to do the complex plaits around my head that everyone always compliments. About a minute after I text my phone began to bleep. The text read:
Katniss I don't know what's in your wardrobe, it's a black tie event so a cocktail dress or something made of silk. Please don't go put on a red dress and green shoes on, or something like that, Ask Primm to help you.
How about you wear the mocking jay pin. See you at the party.
X X X Cinna
Well that sucks I don't own any silk so it will have to be a cocktail dress.
Ooh this blue one is nice it's a sparkly royal blue with a gold belt around the waist, it's down to my knees at the back and maybe a foot shorter on the front. It will look really nice with some gold shoes and my pin.
"Primm" I knock on the door,
"Primm hurry up" ugh she is taking ages
I give up and just walk in to her room, that's why she wasn't answering she has her earphones in. I walk across the room and turn of her Ipod.
"Primm I need help" I make my voice soft for her
"What do you need?" she is just so kind,
"Does this match up?" I ask
"Oh wow that's beautiful"
"Thanks"
I walk back out to my room and pull on a pair of skin colour stockings and slide the dress over my shoulders I tug on the zip but can't get it to move up.
"Primm!"
"Coming . . . yes?" she says walking in to my room,
"Help me get this on," I say indicating to the dress
She wanders over and pulls but it only moves a centimetre or so up before jamming again.
"Suck in" she commands so I do as always. Once I have sucked in the dress zip slides up easy.
"There you go" and she walks out of the room.
Great, the dress is squeezing my body tight but I want to impress them all so I'll have to live. I pull the 4-inch wedges on to my feet and attach the pin over my heart. I don't bother with makeup. I look over my shoulder at my clock its 6 o'clock just enough time for me to grab my phone kiss everyone goodbye before heading to the party.
