Hey! Remember I told you I was going to update only if I had more followers? I was just kidding, you know I can´t contain myself. Just to make thinks clear I changed the names of the tributes from 1 and 2, since they might be volunteers; the outfit Prim wore is also invented, so this story won´t be so similar to the original Hunger Games. Please review and follow
Chapter 3
The next day Octavia and Venia came to wake me up,
"Surprise, surprise! Sweetheart, today is the interview with Caesar Flickerman, you need to get ready already!"
I was half asleep so I just nodded and went back to sleep, seconds later I realized Octavia and Venia where dragging me downstairs. Maybe I was just too tired or to ignorant to care, so I just continued sleeping, even if I was being dragged downstairs.
I continued sleeping until Octavia splashed some water on my face, it was ice cold, but I finally agreed to cooperate. I was still wearing my blue pajamas when Cinna came by. He handed me the dress I was going to wear this afternoon,
"Remember Prim, be yourself" he said, he kissed my forehead and left.
From all the people I have met in the Capitol I think Cinna is my favorite, he is not as extravagant as the others, and I like it.
I changed from my wet pajamas (Thanks for the splash Octavia -_-) to the new dress. It was a strapless yellow dress with red and orange flames at the bottom, I wore golden shoes and a gold necklace, I kinda liked this dress more than the costume I wore at the Tribute Parade, however they were both great and Cinna was a great designer.
When I went out of the dressing room Octavia and Venia started shouting and telling me how beautiful I was, I wondered why Flavius wasn´t here, I guess there was some sort of 'Girls Only' policy. Venia combed my crazy curls in a braided bun and added a bun, I think I looked like my sister Katniss with my hair on a bun, so I liked.
I was almost ready when Effie came for me and gave me some tips,
"Honey, just smile and try to joke with Caesar, he´ll help you get sponsors if you do it correctly" I nodded, Effie waited for me till I was ready, when I finally was she took my hand and guided me to the backstage of the interviewing place, where all tributes waited in line.
I got inside the line and noticed everybody was looking at me; I felt kind of awkward and noticed I was probably the last one to arrive.
"Oh, hey Prim! I like your dress" Peeta said, "Like yours too" I said, I turned around and saw the girl of district 11 smiling at me, I smiled back at her and waived, she was probably my age.
"Welcome everyone! Want to see the tributes? Well, give a round of applause to Damien, the tribute boy of district 1!"
I saw a tall muscular man get onstage, that must be Damien, I thought he was probably 17, and looked fairly handsome. Damien….Verena…Leighton…Arlo… That names where the once that worried me the most, they were the tributes from 1 and 2, career tributes, the youngest one was 17 years old, making them the most dangerous tributes.
After a long time they called my name, I was the last one, for some reason they didn´t applied the 'ladies first' thing during this Hunger Games. I was fairly nervous when I got on stage, I sat down and Caesar started talking,
"So, Primrose, how are you feeling now that you are one of the youngest tributes?" "Well, I guess I´m feeling ok, maybe I can outsmart the others at being tiny" I said.
Caesar laughed, I still don´t know what was so funny… "So how did you felt at the parade? Pretty amazing huh?" he said, I laughed a little and then spoke "Well I just worried, the only part of me that was going to enter the arena was going to be a little pot with ashes"
The whole crowd started laughing, even me, I really thought I was going to burn. "Anyone out there you miss?" asked Caesar, I took a deep breath and said "My mother and my sister Katniss, she…" my voice trailed down and Caesar spoke "You miss her don´t you?"
I just nodded, I was going to start crying at any moment..."I-I´ll try to win, for her" I said.
Caesar took my hand and said, "You´re a really strong fella, Prim, you really are…. Capitol! Primrose Everdeen!" the whole crowd cheered again, I forced one last smile as I got out of the stage.
Effie took my hand and said "Good work sweetie, let´s go get something to eat"
I think Effie was really trying to make me feel better; she was almost like a friend to me. This experience was kind of exiting, but the nice parts of these voyage were already over, time for the real thing to start.
