The next morning came faster than I would have liked. Johanna pulled me out of my bed to wake me up. I have a very strong dislike for her. I followed her out to the table where everyone was already there, well Except for Blight and the boy.
"Blight took the boy to get him ready for his interviews." Johanna said. I didn't say anything just shoveld food into my mouth as fast as I could figuring Johanna would pull me away soon. Sure enough two minutes later she pulled me away from the table.
"Come on I need to get you ready for the interview." She said.
Over the next few hours she taught me what to say and how to act to get more sponsers and blah blah blah. I know I should care but whats the point? I will be dead soon anyway.
After lunch I was with Blight he went over basically the same stuff as Johanna but he was more pointed to the arena and when I got in there what to do and what not to do. All boring but might be helpful later.
After that I was given to the Stylist, and was again dressed as a stupid tree, a freaking tree could these people really not think of anything better? After they were done with me I got a few more tips and was taken by peacekeepers to the lineup. The boy was just ahead of me in line. I crossed my arms and waited my turn.
I listened to the others as they talked with Ceaser. Soon enough it was my turn.
"From District Seven please welcome Sophia Mayfield!" I walked out, people were cheering I watched them, parcially thankful I couldn't hear out of my one year. I walked up to Ceaser and smiled at him as best I could.
"Well Miss Sophia, how are you liking the Capitol?" I barely heard him.
"It's 'lright" I muttered. I don't speak well like this.
"Now what are you good at?" he asked I glared at him.
"I am good at climbing, hunting and steaking." I said slowly, hating this more and more. Thousands of people judging whether or not to take a chance on me.
"I noticed you don't speak that well why is that" I glared harder.
"My Parents died when I was eight, I don't" I cant think of a word "I haven't been learned at all since" I stumbled and looked like an idiot.
"Oh dear I'm sorry don't you have any other family?" I stomped my foot and broke the shoe, fraustrated I pulled them off and got mad.
"No I have no one I have no one I care for so screw the Capitol and all of you people who like these games where innocent children DIE for your Entertainment" I yelled and ran off the stage.
I ignored the mentors and ran straight to my room on the seventh floor not stopping, I should not have said that. But what does it matter? Im going to die any way.
I sat on my bed my hands in my lap. To say I wasn't thinking would be a lie. How can one not think? Even if it is about something not relavant any more. I was thinking of my parents.
Flahback
"Mom!" I shouted running into the house after school.
"Sophia!" she shouted back from the kitchen. I ran into her arms, she swung me up and laughed.
"I loved school Mom it was wonderful!" I said smiling. She set me down.
"That is wonderful dear, grab your stool and tell me all about it" I ran to get my stool and joined her at the counter.
"We learned soo much today. They are teaching us how to read. Just the basics." I rambled on until I heard the door open again. "Daddy!" I shouted hopping down to greet him.
"There is my little Miss." He said hugging me close. He placed me on his hip and carried me back to the kitchen. Kissing Mom and setting me back on my stool.
"What is for Dinner Honey?" he asked mom
"Berries again I'm afraid" She said sadly.
"I love Berries mom!" they laughed at me"
End Flashback
I was seven then almost eight, it was about four months till they died, no till they were killed.
"I Remember your parents" I looked up and saw Johanna at my door. I glared at her. "they and my parents were friends. They would come over all the time until you were two then something changed and we didn't see them much" she sat next to me.
"why are you telling me this" I deadpanned.
"People do care about you. You may not see it but there are." She said "Now about your interview, as much as I loved it, you should not have done that. It was not at all smart."
"I'm going to die. The only thing they can do is spead up that process" I said.
"True but what about Grace? They know you bonded with her" Johanna said.
"she's gunna be ok. She has other people. Can you go away now" I said Johanna sighed and got up leaving the room.
I sat on my bed and though about my parents and if I would see them when I died. I remembered all the things they taught me. I missed them a lot. I curled up on the side of my bed. I could not sleep. I starred at my ceiling and noticed the rafter boards. I grabbed my sheets and climbed up to them, tying the sheet like a hammock I climbed in and fell asleep.
A/N okay in know it was probably not very good but I am getting there and this is what my fingers wrote! I hope you enjoyed this next chapter will be games! I know what will happen to here and Grace. There is not much left, this was never meant to be a very long story. As always R&R
Love Lil Kaari
