Chapter 10-Nettie

Flicker June. Wow, he's even weirder in person. Jareth, my district partner, is in the middle of his interview. He's being arrogant and snobby. It really works for him. Then my name is called and my stomach lurches. I shuffle to my feet and walk across the floor, gulping down my fears and try to look confident enough match my dress.

"So, you're little miss Nettie, the small girl who got a twelve?" He asks as I sit down.

Confident. Strong. Powerful. "Yup." Wow, that was weak. "Good right?"

"Good? It was great!" Flicker says, praising me. I blush. "And for a simple, tiny sixteen year old, incredible!"

"Thanks." I mumbled, and I can almost feel Katniss' eyes piercing me. "I mean, I am me after all," I say flipping my hair. "What did you expect?" I look to Katniss for approval, but her face is blank.

"Well, I certainly didn't expect a twelve. Not for someone so...small." Flicker says happily. "So, why don't you tell me a little about yourself? What is your favorite thing about the Capitol?" He smiles.

I bite my lip. Saying something wrong could lose me so many sponsors. "The clothes." I say, looking down at my ensemble. "My stylist is truly amazing." I tell him dreamily. A spotlight hits my outfit and the light is reflected all around, making it even not beautiful.

"Oh..." The entire audience coos, loving the show. "Ah..."

"Alright, then. So, who are you missing back home?" He asks me.

Not my mom. I don't have any siblings or friends. Lie, I hear Katniss' voice nagging me. "My best friend, Lina." I say, gritting my teeth. "She's really nice."

"Oh," Flicker says, smiling. "How about your family?"

I glare. "What about them?"

He can tell I won't be answering any questions about family, so he moves on to my arena strategy.

"My strategy?" I ask with an amused grin. "It involves running. Lots of running."

The gong goes off that says my three minutes are over, relieved, I rush off the stage, happy it's over with, praying everything went well.

A/N:

THE INTERVIEWS ARE OVER! AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT! I can't believe the arena is finally here... X3 SORRY I didn't realize how SHORT this actually was :o
