Disclaimer: The Hunger Games is not mine.

This is officially the most chapters I've written for a fanfiction in my 15 years of living.

Yay to me!

okay enough about me xD

Thank you to Nathy13 and Tigerlilli for Following! And thank you and Voidwolxves for following and favouriting!

Thanks guys!

I got a nine.

Pretty good for someone that's not a career.

But I wasn't the only one.

Roland had got a ten. He had gotten the target right in the heart, he had informed us.

So of course they gave him a good score.

Then August and Theo had got ten as well.

When I saw those, I felt relief in knowing that I chose good teammates.

Georgia had got eight while Niobe got seven.

I can just imagine people at home screaming that they might win this year.

People in the Capitol are apparently in desperate need to know who we are, says Baxtin. While Aurora says that the careers are shocked by the scores.

None of us showed off our skills, so of course, they are shocked.

I couldn't help but feel proud by my score.

I had just walked in there, heading straight to the knife station and picked up a small knife.

I had tested it out before looking up at the Gamemakers. They looked interested, instead of being bored which would've been expected since they witnessed twenty-one tributes before me, but they didn't.

Must of been Roland which perked their interests.

"Alexis Lumbrage, District 10"

I say loudly to them.

The head gamemaker nodded and spoke "Begin"

That's when I had smirked and picked up a block of wood.

Looking up at them before starting to carve the wood in a horse.

I did it fast and it was a perfectly neat horse.

That's probably what made the Gamemakers give me a nine.

They obviously didn't give me a nine for my fancy spinning and twirling of the knife.

I remember when I left, the Gamemaker that I had eye conversations with. Winking at me before whispering something into the head Gamemakers ear.

I really need to have a proper conversation with this guy, he may have been the reason I got that score and he also seems like a great guy. So, of course I want to actually talk to him.

But presently, that won't happen, cause I think I might die from the fact I'm wearing heels.

"Why can't I just wear sandals or something?!" I exclaimed, glaring at Baxtin.

Who shook his head "Aldar's dress for you tonight is with heels not sandals!"

I whine "but it hurts my feet!"

"You'll get used to it"

"But you're a guy, you can't understand!"

"Your right, I'm a guy but who says I haven't worn heels" he responds

I open my mouth to reply but I close it.

He's right.

"Fine"

Then I continue walking with my heels and the dress until I finally am able to walk in the heels without tripping, but then he starts making me sit down.

I don't know how much I've fallen out of the chair but I remember Baxtin saying "You're so terrible at this! You're lucky you have your good looks to cover how terrible you walk and sit!"

By the end of the training session. I swear I can't walk normally for days without having to lift my heels so it feels comfortable.

Why do I even have to look good for interviews! I'm just going to look terrible in the games!

When we walk out of the room we were practicing in to go to lunch.

I swear I want to slap that smile off Baxtin's face.

Once we sit down at the table which was occupied by Aurora and Roland.

I get a sympathetic look from Aurora. She knows the pain of heels, thank god I have someone who understands.

Roland just looked concerned for me. I say I'm alright and that he should be glad that he's not a girl, which he quickly agrees on.

"You know, it's good that your beautiful. If you fall, I'm sure the Capitol would swoon over you" he says with a quiet laugh.

"That's exactly what I said!" Baxtin said loudly.

"Yeah, yeah. If you guys say so" I say with a roll of my eyes.

"It's true!" Baxtin laughed.

I know I'm alright, but I don't think I'm that beautiful. It's just the makeup makes me beautiful. Nothing else.

I glance at Aurora who had been silent.

She looked at me with a sad expression. I ponder why she's looking at me like that.

"What's up?" I say at her

"It's nothing" she says, sadness evident in her voice.

I was about to insist on why but she cut in, knowing I was about to annoy her.

"it's just unfortunate, you were blessed with your looks" she spoke.

"Why?" I ask, already starting to worry on why.

She sighs "you'll figure it out"

Figure what out? Why is my looks unfortunate?

"It doesn't mix well with the Capitol, if you won" she hints.

It has something to do with if I won. So if I won, I get to move into a new house. My family wouldn't have to worry about working anymore. I would be mentoring the next years tributes. I'd be visiting the Capitol every year. I'll have to show myself to the Capitol. The Capitol would want to know me personally. In every way...

I look up at her.

I hope it's not what I think.

Her looks at me confirms it.

"I won't do it" I say, trying to hide my horror in realising what she was saying.

She sighs. "We should go start your lesson" she gets up from the table.

I slowly get up.

Peering at the boys expressions. I could tell Baxtin had no idea, what she was speculating but it looks like Roland figured it out. He didn't look happy at all, he looked at me when he saw that I was looking at him and he frowned at me, like he was cursing my looks.

But the thing is..

If Roland won, he would be in risk of the same fate.

He is good looking as well.

"Okay, I'm here to teach you how to hold yourself in public's eye" Aurora spoke in her tired voice, tossing the tension from our last conversation away.

"I know" I say, I had already guessed that.

"What kind of personality would work most effectively for you..." Aurora mumbled, talking to her self.

"Judging from what I know. You can be bubbly, a flirt, funny or clumsy. You pick" She says, after deciding to let me choose.

I shrug "I can just be myself"

She shakes her head immediately "no, you need to cling to a personality"

"Why?" I ask but I already know the answer. I could be different after the games.

She ignores my question "I suggest you be bubbly and clumsy. Roland is going to be shy and adorable. It will be a pair that fit together so well" she says but adding "plus, I think it will be a surprise to the Capitol to find out that you aren't actually an angry girl as they think at the moment"

Wow, from a moment of thinking. She really has the perfect personalities for us to pose as.

She really is helping us

"Alright, I'll do it"

"They are going to love you!" Giggled Santhe.

"Absolutely stunning" Gadge comments.

"Breathtaking" Viola sighs, satisfied by her work.

"Flawless" Santhe says, continuing her squeals of delight.

Gadge was about to say something but I cut in.

"Stop!" I pout

"Your making me uncomfortable with your compliments"

I've been getting way too many compliments in the last two days and it's starting to take a toll on me. Now that I realise how much I will be desired by the Capitol, if I won.

"But you do look beautiful in my dress" Aldar says

"And I thank you for that but all these compliments is making me uncomfortable"

"Look!" Santhe says, guiding me to the mirror.

I do look breathtaking. I forgot how to breathe when I saw my dress.

It's golden and it goes do my knees, revealing lovely light brown leathered heel boots that reached a quarter up my shin. My hair is up and sided to my left side in curls.

I look pure and beautiful.

"Thank you, Aldar"

I turn and give him a hug

"For making me look beautiful"

He returns the hug "It was my pleasure" he smiles.

"Now let's show the Capitol, who Alexis Lumbrage is"

"Wow" says Roland as soon as I entered the elevator

"I know right" I say back with a smile and scan him "don't look so bad yourself"

He laughs. He was wearing a plain tux with a golden glow to it and his usual thick dark brown hair was gelled to one side, "Thank you" he says.

We start to go down the elevator.

Baxtin laughs at our conversation while Aurora just smiles. While both of our prep teams and stylists grin proudly.

Once we got down to the stage. Tributes were getting in line to go up to the stage.

I breathe in and out when I get out of the elevator with everyone else.

Aldar and Glide move off with a wave with our prep teams while Aurora and Baxtin stay to remind us on what to do.

"Now your going to be shy and adorable" Aurora speaks to Roland

"Remember to not fall out of your chairs" Baxtin spoke to both of us.

"And Alexis, remember to be Clumsy and Bubbly." Aurora spoke to me.

She looks at both of us then says "Be happy to be here. Good luck"

We nod and they leave.

Then we head over to where everyone was lining up.

Everyone was already there.

"Look whose decided to join the party!" Theo called to us.

"Like we had any choice" Roland irritably says as we join them

I laugh "I hope we didn't miss anything"

"No" August says with a small smile.

"Nice results guys" I say with a smile

"We surprised the career pack"

We all smirk and glance at the careers who were glaring at us.

"Good that" August says, a big smirk on his face.

We line up properly and I wave at district 5 and 7. Who returned it with a smile.

They are part of our alliance as well.

By the time, it's finally my turn. I was so tired from waiting for so long.

"Good luck" says Georgia as I start to walk on the stage

"I'm not scared, I'll be fine"

And I walk up on the stage.

"Here she is! The girl everyone is seriously dying to meet! Alexis Lumbrage from District 10" Caesar Flickerman announced which is met by the loud cheers of the crowd.

The cheers are just as loud as the parade! I'm going to be deaf after this!

I smile, slipping easily into my character.

Clumsy and Bubbly. Like a toddler in a teenager body.

To emphasise to character, I trip into Ceasar's arms.

"Whoa!" He heaved out as he caught me.

"I'm sorry!" I apologise "I'm not used to these shoes at all!"

Caesar laughs like the whole audience at my comment.

"I just thankful you didn't trip and land face first on the stage, and ruin your beautiful face"

I giggle and talk at the same time "thank you! I'm glad I didn't trip anywhere else but your arms!"

"Oh, you can trip into my arms anytime!" He's says with a wide smile. Earning another laugh from the audience.

I laughs whole heartedly and sit down as he does

"Later" I say winking. Well, I just added 'a flirt' to my persona "if I don't, I've probably fallen over somewhere"

"If you don't, I'll be sure to find you and have you in my arms again" he laughs.

They weren't joking, he really makes people love someone from one thing.

"Now, We all saw you, when you walked up to the stage at the reaping," he says.

I knew exactly where this was going. I don't know if I should regret doing that or not because of the amount of people who were questioning me.

"And I know like me, everyone else is dying to hear what you were thinking when you heard your name because unlike others, you were angry! Why was that?" he questions, obviously curious.

"Well..." I say looking out into the audience where everyone was waiting for my answer.

"I was just thinking about how my name came out of thousands of people" I say. I find Aurora looking at me with a raised eyebrow. I just slipped out of my character a bit. Oops!

"And I just found that ridiculous!" I say, pouting, becoming out as a more bubbly person in my response.

Caesar laughs "Out of all the things, you could've thought!" He turns to the audience

"Am I right, folks?" The crowd cheered and I smiled at them. It wasn't that uncommon but I did look more angry than I had felt at that moment to other people.

He laughs loudly and turned to me again to question me.

"So, I'm wondering." He starts "How did you get that score? A nine! Pretty high for an outer district!"

"Oh, it wasn't that high compared to Roland!" I say with a giggle "and I don't think I'm supposed to talk about how that score came to be!"

"Aww! Give us a hint, at least!" Caesar insisted

"Well," I look at the Gamemaker balcony and I saw them giving an okay to give them a hint "judging by the Gamemakers. I'll just give you a small hint!"

Caesar leans in to get the answer "A horse!" I say with a laugh

Caesar copied my pout from before, this I laughed to "that's not much!"

"Too bad, I'm not giving you more!"

He groans frustrated "You tease me!"

The buzzer goes off

"Aww, that's all we can talk to you! I really hoped to get to know you more!"

"Oh, it's okay! I'm sure that you'll catch me again!" I giggle

"Oh, I hope so!"

"Me too!" I started to walk off "and it was real nice to meet you, Caesar!"

I look behind me at the audience "the same to you guys!" I say with a smile.

Then I purposely almost fall again but I catch myself "bloody shoes!" I shout

I smile when I heard the loud laughter of the audience.

"Alexis Lumbrage, everyone!" Caesar Flickerman says in his loud voice.

Part 1! Next part is the rest of the alliances interviews and a special meeting with a special someone!
