I leave the nurse's office in a hasty pace searching for the ones I needed to talk to. My mind pondered on whom I should talk to first, Madge, Gale, Haymitch. But it is none of them. I see a whisk of hair I now recognize so much. I turned to follow the person and I turn the corner as I see him enter a room and close the door. I walk slowly to the door and press my ear to the door. It is hard to hear past the wood but I can hear some words come through.
" Well mom, I survived this one no need to be heartbroken." There is a slight pause and then he starts speaking again. " Don't worry mom I am safe here under the eye of Haymitch and Katniss." There is another pause, "Mom, stop it I can't ask that----- you know why mom, it is embarrassing. No mom I am fine I'll be home soon. Yes bye mom, I love you too! OKAY! I'll ask her for you okay? Bye!"
I walk into the room as I hear him say his goodbyes. He doesn't seem to notice that I walked in as he stares at the wall. I walk up behind him just as he turns around. His face turns tomato red and I can't help noticing that he looks the exact same color Peeta looks when he is embarrassed. I step back a little and smile at him. He puts a hand on top of his hair and starts to mess with his hair. He then gives me a cockish grin.
"Don't you love how we always seem to bump into each other like this?" He asks me teasingly. I just grin bigger and give a shrug of my shoulders. He starts turning red again when asking, "Look, I know this is dumb but my mom wanted to know--" So, his mom wanted to ask me for something. " If, like—if you could give me your autograph, she really wants it!" He turned beat red and I can't help but laugh.
"Sure, why not?" I reply. His face returns to normal and then I start to get serious. "Clayton the true reason I wanted to come here was cause I needed to ask you something." He nods reassuringly giving me his full attention. He resembles Peeta so much, that I can't help it, but I ignore that. "Thank you for risking your life for me back there. I mean I expected it from the others, not you. Thank you I would be dead if it wasn't for you. Also thanks for helping me with Peeta. You know if I were the general I would give you a badge and move you up a division if I could. You were really good out there today, you did amazing." He starts smiling and grinning more as my speech went on and when I was finished he smiled down at me with his cockish grin.
"Look no need to thank me I was only doing my job but your welcome. It is such an honor to get this big of a speech from the Mockajay." I blush at this sentence. I turn to walk towards the door and say my good bye so I can talk to the others, but a question lies upon my shoulders.
"Clayton, I was wondering what is your full name?" It seemed like a stupid question but it was bugging me ever since I met him. He looked familiar but yet, so different.
He didn't seem to mind though cause he just gave me that cockish grin of his and answered, "It's Clayton Snow." I was completely stunned. That's why I felt like I knew him. I suddenly felt very dizzy and the next thing I knew I fell to the floor and my eyes closed filling me with darkness.
