There was scrubbing, pulling, ripping, and a whole lot of pain. When she was finally done I looked like a Ken Barbie doll, minus the weird clothes. One of Melinda's assistants gave me a button down shirt and some black slacks. She also handed me a bright red bow tie. I got dressed and quickly decided that I did look like a Ken doll, plus the weird clothes. Well, I thought, at least the Capitol people will think I look good.
A tall, well dressed lady came in and told me to walk with her to my interview with Caesar. She took me to the airing station and I waited in line next to Premiere. The time flew, and soon District 5 was up and I was the first to be interviewed.
I walked onto the stage as Caesar called my name. The audience clapped and hollered, cheering for the great Cory Montage. Caesar asked hoe I was doing, and I answered him with a blatant well. The interview was long and boring, event though it was only seven minutes. When it was finally over I thanked the crowd the walked to the penthouse, but then I decided I needed a walk. I walked on the sidewalk for about an hour or so and then I walked back to the penthouse. I called out for Premiere, but no one answered. She must be asleep or out with the other tributes. I got ready for bed and scrubbed all the junk and gel out of my hair before I went to bed. I rang the servant bell and a young blond girl came in and asked what I needed. I said mint tea, which was the teas my mom and I would drink together. I smiled and thought back to all the good times we used to have before the two Montage siblings got drawn out by Lucinda-Loo's neon-pink painted fingers.
I sighed and sipped the tea slowly. I instantly spit it back into the cup. Ugh, I bet they used the hybrid mint leaves. This was just one of the reasons I absolutely hated the Capitol, they could never just keep things the same. I set the cup down and drifted off to sleep, thinking about bad mint tea and the Capitol.
