Chapter 3
" Prim?" I question not sure if it's really her.
" Katniss?" she says back. I nod my head smiling.
" It's Rose Deen now and who are you little miss? " I ask her.
" Sophia Deen." she says smiling. I like that name it's an innocent name. I smile and pull her in for a hug and tell her she looks beautiful and she does the same. We walk back to the front where Aunt Effie is waiting. When she see's the new us she beams at us, with a wide smile.
" Cinna, Portia you guys have out done yourselves. Well done guys. As for you two. You guys look stunning. New names that we will be calling you for now on?" she says.
" Meet Rose and Sophia Deen. " Cinna says pointing to me and then Prim.
" Good names come along now. We still have lots to do. Next on the list is shopping let's go thank you Cinna , Portia see you guys in 5 weeks for their touch ups." she says walking to the door. We wave and make a bee line for the black van and get in. We drive to what Effie says is the mall. It's huge, we walk in the mall and go to different stores to buy clothes first. I get simple clothes. A lot of skinny jeans, and tight shirts, loose shirts, crop tops, leggings, new bra and under wear. We put all of our bags which is a lot in the back of the black truck and go back in the mall for shoes. We go into the vans stores first and we get every color and some vans sock. Then we go to footlocker and we get some Adidas, Chucks, Nike's, and Jordan's. Once done with that we go back to the truck and drop them off in the back and go back to the mall for our toiletries. Such as tooth-brush, tooth paste, hair brush, etc. We get some perfume and accessories and I passed a body piercing shop and I ask Effie if I can get some stuff pierced. She gives me a long look, but then gives in.
" Ro , What are you going to get done? Can I get something too, Please.! " Prim pleads. I sigh she always wants to do everything I do, even if I am a minute older than her I still treat her like my little sister. I like to keep her as young as I can. But what's the difference she already smokes weed with me and does everything I do, only a minute apart. So I just nod and say nothing passed her stomach. She just give me a disgusted look, but nods her head anyway. Effie signs the paper so we can get stuff done.
" I'm getting my belly button, industrial, front helix and tongue pierced. Should I get my nose ?" I ask Prim.
" Yes, I'm getting everything you're getting, but I don't want my nose I want my bottom lip done. Is that ok ? " she ask. I give it a thought. I honestly don't care if we get the some thing so I just nod and we go back to the room to get everything down. We pick out what color and style we want our belly rings to be. I pick a dark green color and Prim picks light blue our favorite colors. We get our belly rings done together and it didn't even hurt. Next is the industrial and all that did was give a slight pinch and a little blood but it's all good. Next we get our front helix 3 in a row on one ear. Then Our tongue that's going to be swollen for 2 days. Then I get my nose, and then prim gets her bottom lip pierced. The woman who did all our piercings told us that we will be swollen for a couple of days and to keep out infection she gave us bottles of sea salt water and piercing cleaner. After that we leave and I see a tattoo shop and I grin a my Aunt and Prim I 've always been the rebellious twin that's no surprise to either of them as I walk into the tattoo place. They follow and Prim ask if she can get one I give her a hard look because getting a piercing is one thing you can always take out, but a tattoo that's with you forever.
" I don't know Soph, what did you have in mind that you want to get and where will it be at ?" I ask her. She thinks for a minute and then her eyes light up.
" I only want two, I want the first one to be a Primrose, Katniss and Dahlia flower intertwined together, it will mean that we will always be together no matter what and the second one will be the date mom died with her name. " she finishes looking at me for permission. Wow that's really smart I guess she can get it, but she didn't tell me where on her body thought.
" Where though? " I ask thoughtfully. Even though I already made up my mind, but I don't want her to think I'm giving in that easily to her.
" The first one will be on the right side of my stomach and the second one will be wrapped around my left wrist." she says. I nod my head telling her she can get it she hugs me, but then pulls back placing a hand on her belly where she just got it pierced. I laugh cause I know it hurts. " what are you getting Ro?" she ask.
" A mockingjay in flight with its claws carrying an arrow that will be just bellow the right side of my stomach for the first one. The second one will be the date mother died that will be behind my left ear. And the third one will be a dandelion with its pebbles blowing away. That's what gave me hope that thing will get better after mom died. It will be near my right shoulder and the pebbles will be flowing over my shoulder. How does that sound? " I ask her. she just smiles and tells me it's perfect. I smile and we go back into the room holding hands and sit into comfy chairs and two guys come in with Effie. 3 hours later we are done well I'm finally done. Prim was done 2 hours ago since she only got two tattoos. I ' m sore all over from all my piercings and tattoos. We go up to the food court I think it's called. I don't know all I know I'm hungry for some Italian food. So Prim and I get some Pasta and bread while Effie gets Chinese food. We go and sit at an empty table and eat. My feet were starting to hurt from all this walking, I wonder what time it is.
" Hey, Effie" I say
" Yes dear?" She ask
" What time is it?" I ask. While taking a bite of my pasta.
" Oh' Well it's 6, we've been her for about 5 hours and we will be leaving after we get you both school supplies. You will be attending school in a week." She answers. I nod and we continue to eat in silent. Once we're done we get up and throw away our trash and go into a store called Office Depot and Effie gets a cart and starts getting our school supplies. Once we're done we pay for them and then Go to another store to get a book bag. I chose a book bag that has Jamaican colors and Prim gets one that is blue with smoke on it. Effie pays for them and finally we can leave this mall. We get back to the van and deposit our bags and get in and we drive to our new home. We stop in front of some gates and Effie puts in some type of code and then they open and she dries up the drive way. I guess father forgot to mention Uncle is rich. Figures on the way Effie spent on us today. We get out and Effie gets people to take all our bags to the our new rooms. We get into the house and see Uncle Haymitch with a glass in his hand.I bet its liquor ever since mother died who was his sister turned to drinking to heal the pain.
" Sweethearts, long time no see huh? You guys look different. Whats the new names that I will be calling you guys from now on in public?"
" Uncle I see nothing has changed a bit, we are Rose and Sophia Deen now." I say
" Good names, suites the new you. Now Effie will be giving you a tour of the house when she's done so just hang tight. I will be in my room getting drunk so please don't bother me." He says while walking away. We stand for about 5 mins until Effie comes down the stairs in her heels that she's been wearing all day I know her feet must be killing her.
" Come on girls let me show you the basement first." We follow her down some stairs into the basement.
" This is where you both will be training with your uncle. It has a gym, studio for gymnastics, dance , and an indoor pool. Come along now."She says walking back up the stairs with us following behind. " Now this is the living room, that's the dining room were we will be having our meals together, there is the kitchen tell chef Sae whatever you want and she will cook it, now for the upstairs tour. " she says walking with us still following. " Here this house has 6 bedrooms with full baths in each room. On the right is Haymitches study and on the left is our bedroom, now farther down two doors to be exact is Prim's room and Katniss yours will be across the hall from hers. Okay now that's the end of the tour good night girls." She finishes leaving us at our bedroom doors. I hug Prim goodnight and kiss the top of her head and head to my room. I'm struck in awe as I take in my room. Forest green walls with trims of gold. Brown wood king sized bed with a lot of gold pillows on it. A night stand and dresser and a desk for homework with a laptop on it. I walk into my personal bathroom and it has cream walls and tile floors and a big shower with transparent glass that can fit 6 people if not more. There's a toilet and a tub next to it . Two sinks on the nice marble counter tops. I run my fingers over the marble admiring my bathroom. I decide to take a shower and turn in to bed. I take off my clothes and put them in the hamper I put my hair up so it wont get wet and step in the shower and turn on the water. I sigh as the hot water beats against my sore skin and muscles. I grab my shaving cream and razor and start to shave and then once I'm done I wash my body being careful not to touch my piercings and tattoos too much and then my face and turn off the water. I wrap a towel around me and step out the shower and dry off and then go to my room I put on some boy short underwear and a sports bra and put my hair into a side braid and climb into my comfy bed and once my head hits the pillow I instantly fall asleep.
