"Ruuun Delly, we are not going to make it!" We stormed out of the Hob, the port wasn't too far but still we didn't have so many minutes.
"Yes we are, let's go, I can see the ship already". Delly was behind me. I run faster. After a few streets we were at the port. The ship was so big, more that I had ever imagined. It had four gigantic chimneys and on the people was standing at the border of the ship's deck, waving, jumping and screaming, saying their goodbyes.
"Wow its beautiful" Delly says in awe. "Yes it is, I guess this is goodbye then" sounding a little sad. I was going to leave her and my family after all. My family. "Dells could you do me a favor?" "Of course, what is it?" "Could you please explain to my family what happened".
Her eyes widen, but the she smiles sweetly. "Of course but I'll only speak to your father and I'm going to ask him to tell you mother. She is going to kill me for letting you go".
A hard laugh escape from my mouth. "Hah. For convincing me and practically dragging me to the ship". I finish saying with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah well hurry! Time is over". "Yeah." I hug her quickly and start running to the ship. Please let me pass I'm late I think as I push through people. "Wait, wait sir!" wheres the door to the lower class. "Did they already check your bags." He says moving his head to the left "yes yes, please answer". "You have to go right, the second stare. There's the lower class" "Thanks" I say, and quickly start moving. Ugh so many people down here. I get to the stairs and climb them. Oh no the ship started moving. "Wait I'm a passanger" "Oh boy right on time, do you have your passport?" Shit. Yeah let me look for it, I start taping my pockets. No not there. I grab my back, check all the outside pockets, nothing. How could I forget it? Oh. "Here it is." Uff that was close.
"Alright you can pass, go to the right, then left, right again and then you'll find your room". "Thanks sir". I said giving him what it seems like a military salute. I'll put my bags in there and then I'm going to the ship's deck, I guess I'll find something to draw there. Ok let's see, left then right ok, where's my room, where's my room. "Oh here it is" I say out loud. I open the door with the key the man gave me a few minutes ago.
Oh there are people in there already; I thought I had a room on my own. "Ugh hi, my name s Peeta, I guess you are my roommates?" I asks with a puzzled look.
"Yeah, hey my name is Cato" the young man with blond straight hair and green eyes said tending his hand toward me. "Hey". Taking his hand. "I'm Tresh" the other young man, with cuscu hair and dark skin introduces himself. I nod. "I took the upper bed of the cabin, you can take this" he assures me by getting out of the bed. "It's alright thank you" I move toward the bed, while Tresh and Cato look at me expectantly. I put my bags on top of it and take the art pad and one of the carbon pencils. "You paint" Cato asks with a smirk. I just not and direct myself toward the door. Turn around and ask. "Hey do you want to go to the ship's deck?
"Yeah man why not" Tresh moves toward me. We both looking at Cato. He roll his eyes and says "alright let's take a tour" jumping out of bed.
We all climbed the stairs toward the ship's deck while talk stuff about where do we come from and how do we get in here. As I tell them my story they smile wide and not saying "Wow you are very lucky man" at the same time. Cato taps my back. They both are very tall, but amazingly friendly. Cato likes to joke a lot. Tresh is calmer.
"Hey there's a bench" Tresh says as soon as we stepped in the deck. "Let's go". The deck was full of people looking down to the water, talking, even walking some first class dogs. Tresh and I sat in the bench while Cato stand, putting his hands in the bar, looking at the open sea. Taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it up. "Hey guys, look, dolphins".
Tresh moves his head toward Cato nodding with his head. I open my art pad and start drawing and old man with a little girl, also looking at the dolphins. And then, whike I glanced to the first class deck for a moment, the most beautiful creature capture the attention of my eyes. It's a young woman, around maybe my age or a bit smaller. She has large brown hair combed in a simple knot. She has a large light peach dress with short sleeves that dances calmly with the wind. She is staring blankly to the sea as If she was thinking deep. She looks sad.
Cato s point of view
"Hey men did you see it? A dolphin jumped!" I ask to Tresh with excitement. I've never seen a dolphin before.
"Hahahah, man just look at him" Tresh says in a mocking tone
"What?" I turn around to look at him. He is looking at Peeta. I take a few steps backward to take a better view. "Hahah, what's he looking at?".
"Peeta, Peeta" Tresh call him in a singing voice. He doesn't move.
"Man I think he is in shock"
"Oooh I see, HE IS LOOKING AT A GIRL. Don't you Peeta? He stills doesn't move. Tresh waves his hand in front of him. Nothing, he doesn't move.
"Hahaha" Tresh laughts
I look at the girl again. She glances toward Peeta, she looks at him awkwardly, But turn back.
"Aww forget her Peeta, although I have to admit she looks like an angel, she is unreachable".
Katniss point of view (a while before Cato s point of view)
After our fight I came back to the room. My sister is getting dresses with the help of our prep team. As Gale likes to call them. "Hi, little duck, did you had fun exploring the ship?"
"Yeah Katniss its very nice, are you ok?"
"Yes, but I don't want to talk about that now. Why are you getting dressed?"
"For lunch, you have to go too" Ugh I definitely don't want to go, it's so boring, especially if my mother and Gale invite people. I'm not so much of a talker. I don't like how they think. The majority of them are from the Capitol. I hope Cinna and Effie come, they are the only ones I like. Effies a high class lady, she has tons of money but she is nice compared to others, also she dresses weird, she is quite unique, likes to wear wigs, different color every day. She is obsessed with manners. I like sometimes to make her mad. Cinna on the other side it's a Capitol designer. He is from the high class but like me he doesn't care much. He is like my best friend; he is the only person beside Prim I could really talk to about everything.
"Katniss please get ready" my mom says poking her head from the other room.
"Ok". As the prep team finishes with Prim they come to me. They arrange my hair, put makeup on my, helped me to get dressed and finally they adjust my corset. I can hardly breathe with that thing.
(Moments later)
Gale invited Seneca Crane and Cornelious Snow. My mom invited Cinna, one of her friends and I told her to invite Effie also. Crane was the designer of the ship and Snow was just a very rich man, director of the White Star line company (shipping company) that was said that he uses that to influence on the captain and other people in the ship.
As they talk I just listen. Effie then asked about the name. "Hey who thought of the name Titanic?" "I bet it was you Snow".
"Indeed, Effie I wanted a name to convey sheer size. And size means stability,
luxury... and safety". He answers moving his hands slightly. Ugh I really can't stand him.
"Do you've heard of Dr. Freud? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you, Mr. Snow." I snap in a serious tone.
My mother then takes my hand and lean closer to me. "Katniss, what was that about?"a bit angry. I just look at her with a plain expression.
"Excuse me I need some air" I said cleaning my mouth and getting up the chair, storming out of the room.
I decide going to the upper deck, and look to the ocean. I can't quite stand these people. I glace around and my eyes stopped at the bottom deck. I see a bond boy looking up at me, what's his problem? I think scowling a little. Then I turn my eyes back to the sea.
"Katniss!" a familiar voice calls my name. "Why did you left? Are you crazy those were important people you can't act like that!" he says in a high tone.
"I don't know Gale sorry, it's ok, I'm going to my room". He follows me.
Hope you like it!
