Sup guys! I am back to posting. This chapter will be the interview. Let's see what unveils romance, mistakes, promises, and death... just kidding! No one dies in this chapter. You'll have to wait for that. I do not own the Hunger Games. Here's chapter 8.:~)
After the noise had gone down Morgan became serious. " Look guys it's great the girls got good scores, but now they have a huge target on their backs. I just got a call from the careers. They said you're the first ones they're coming after." " Great well they're gonna have to wait because as soon as that gong rings I'm gone." I wasn't planning on massacuring anyone in the bloodbath. I mean unless you're tied with the careers you don't have a big chance of getting out of there alive. And I wasn't wanting to take that chance. " What about district ten?" Ofcourse Alex would ask. I just raised an eyebrow at her. Morgan replied," Yeah they asked too. Do you want to ally with them?" Alex looked at me with a begging look. "Please." " Well..." "Pleeeeeease." " He'll get in the way. That's two extra mouths to feed, two extra people to worry about. That's two more problems. "Please." *sigh* " Fine." " Yay!" She squealed and ran out of the room.
I hope I did the right thing. I looked at Morgan and Jeff. " It's gonna be hard when she has to let him go." Morgan said. " I know but she has to find out herself." I wish there was another way but only two people can come out. And they have to be from the same district. I feel really bad especially because of what happens later that night. Before I get to that I better tell you how the interviews went. I spent the first hour practicing what I was going to do during the interview with Morgan. The hour after that I had to spend with Bonnie. I admit she was beginning to grow on me. Even her ever enthustiastic voice was starting to sound nice. I know I must really be sick. Luckily Bonnie said I wouldn't be wearing heels, so I only had to practice speaking. My approach is going to be charming, or likeable. I'm going to be very agreeing and smiling a lot. It shouldn't be that hard. Ferren came up to the penthouse and started working on my make-up. " I'm nervous Ferren."
" Don't be. You're going to be great. I talked to Morgan about your angle and it's perfect. I'm going to make you look fabulous. Besides with your looks you'll win them all over." "Thanks Ferren." I instantly remembered something. "Hamilton. You do go to my school. You're two grades above me!" He just raised his hands and smiled. I thought you would notice sooner or later. How did you figure out it was me?" " One of my friends, Nancy happens to have a crush on you. She really likes you." "Really? I must ask her about it when we go home." Hamilton winked. " Just don't tell anyone who I really am. Everyone here knows me as Ferren." "Don't worry your secret's safe." "Thanks anyways you're all done." While we were talking Hamilton had finished my make-up and hair.
My make-up was very light and hardly looked like it was there. My hair was curled and flipped over my right shoulder. My dress was a metallic blue with golden accessories on the top. It was stapless and came down to my ankles. The bottom half flowed and had a black pattern design. We were once again running late, but made it in time just as district one's interview started. "We have to go you'll be okay by yourselves." Morgan glanced back one last time at us and left. Jeff, Bonnie, and Hamilton(Ferren) would also be watching from the crowd. I took my spot next to Alex and looked at the dress she was wearing. It was almost like a princess dress. The top half had purple and blue sparkles, while the bottom half was a baby blue. It had a light purple sash around the middle and it went down to her ankles. It was also a strapless. "You look like a princess Alex." She smiled at me. "Thanks you look good too." We then turned our attention towards the interviews.
All of the careers went for the ruthless act and said not to underestimate them because of their ancestors. It wasn't until district five's interview started did Alex talk. " Morgan told me this years Hunger Games are going to be tough. I believe him. I mean look at them. The majoraity of them got a seven or better. That's a lot of competition. And it's a quarter quell they have to make the arena intense." " Just relax Alex. Just make them love you during your interview. The more sponsors you have the better." We didn't say another word until district ten's interview. I could see Alex tensing up. Then it began." So Chad (district ten) how do you like the capitol so far?" asked Ceasar. " It's pretty nice way different than district ten." "I bet it is. Now tell me what's your strategy in the game?" "That's a secret you'll just have to wait Ceasar." "I'm looking forward to that. Do you have anyone special waiting for you?" Alex stood straight in her chair. I'm glad we were backstage. If the crowd saw this they would get suspicous. " Actually yeah there is but I doubt she noticed me." "That's easy all you have to do is win and I'm sure she'll notice you." " I don't think so if I win she dies." You could here the crowd gasp. Uh oh if this guy spills it this could mean trouble... " Oh I see which one of the lucky girls is it?" " Hannah Stevenson." Oh crap. I could see Alex shaking. She turned around and I saw tears starting to form in her eyes. "Alex..." She just shook her head and ran. I left to go after her.
HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG
Meanwhile back at the interview... " Oh well there's still abig chance you could both make it out." " Yeah i'm gonna do whatever I can to protect her." The buzzer then rang. " Folks that was Chad Wilkons from district ten. The crowd cheered and then it was his partners turn to go on.
HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG
I found Alex sitting on a bench in the looby of the building. She was crying but she looked mad. " Why didn't he tell me? Why did he have to lie and say all those things?" I don't know Alex but whatever his reasons are I 'd just forget him. If he wants to let go of you then he's an idiot and you need to show him he messed with the wrong girl." "You now what? You're right. Thanks Jewels." We leaned in and hugged each other. "Yeah anyways we better hurry because you're going on first." We practically ran back to our spot as district eleven came off. "And now ladies and gentlemen Alex Willow from district twelve!" Alex walked on stage and recieved a big round of applause. "Hello Alex." "Hi Ceasar." " So what do you like most about the capitol?" "Definetly the food. It's the best display of food I've ever had." "Why I'm glad to hear that. We do have divine chefs don't we?" The audience cheered. " Alex most of us deeply pity you because you are going in the arena with your stepsister. How do you feel about that?" Oh no don't say anything stupid..." I feel like I need to protect her like she protects me. At home we always had each other's back." "Well that's the spirit. Tell me a pretty girl like you should have some sort of admirier. Do you?" "Oh Ceasar I'm not that pretty." " Oh yes you are. Isn't she folks?" The crowd cheered and even wolf whistled. Alex had a faint blush across her cheeks. " Sorry to dissapoint but no one I know of likes me." "So no one has caught you yet?" "Well they're going to need a strong fishing pole and bait if they are." The crowd and Ceasar laughed at this. "Isn't she a witty one?" Just then the buzzer went off. "Give it up for Alex Willow of district twelve!" The crowd practically went wild. Alex walked to where she should sit on stage next to district eleven.
"Okay folks the night is almost over, but don't leave yet. The other half of district twelve has yet to be released and here she is. Jewels Clamber of district twelve!" I walked on the stage and flashed a smile. I swear I saw people faint. "Hey Ceasar!" "Hey yourself Jewels. Have a seat." "Thank you." "Now Jewels what has been the best thing you like about the capitol?" "Everything Ceasar. It's all so beautiful, bright, and colorful. It's like a dream." Yeah a real nightmare I thought in my head. On the outside I was a smiling fool. On the inside I was seething at the capitol. "Now we already talked to Alex about this, how do you feel about going into the arena with your stepsister?" "I feel like I need to make sure she goes home. Even if I can't she has too. District twelve will atleast have her going back." " Remarkable. She wants to protect you and you want to protect her. You two are like the sisters of Panem." At the suggestion of a name to call us the crowd starts chanting. "Sisters of Panem!" "Sisters of Panem!" Ceasar motions for them to be quiet so he can get on with the next question. " Another thing everybody has been wondering is how you got a twelve. Nobody has gotten a twelve since the seventy- fifth Hunger Games." " Well I can't tell you that now Ceasar the gamemakers wouldn't like me spoiling our secret." " Well we'll have to ask them one day. Your very pretty yourself Jewels. Do you have somebody waiting?" "Well I would't say I was pretty Ceasar but this dress is." I got up from my chair and turned for everybody to see. *gasp* *gasp* I heard hundreds of gasps and looked down at my dress it had started to change the patterns started to swirl and change into an icy blue. Even the golden top turned icy. I looked at Alex her dress no longer had any purple it was blue. "Why this is incredible!" shouted Ceasar. Suddenly my buzzer went off. Everyone give it up for Jewels Clamber of district twelve!" The crowd screamed and shouted. I walked calmly to myseat and looked at the crowd in the front row there was all the mentors and stylists. I saw Morgan, Ferren, Bonnie, and Jeff. They were all yelling and cheering like crazy. " Thank you everyone for showing up tonight and for supporting our tributes. May the odds be ever in your favor!" At that momant I realised something. Ceasar Flickerman did the interviews for the Hunger Games seventy-five years ago. How is he still alive? And then I saw it a piece of Ceasar's face looked liked it was peeling. Peeling off? I walked backstage immediantly and went to see Ceasar in his dressing room.
Ohhhhhhhhh! Ceasar what's up behind that mask you put on and what does Jewels do about it? Find out next time. " Same bat time. Same bat channel." I do not own batman. But I just had to quote him.
