Hi guys! One review. Seriously? C'mon, let's make it 5! Then my heart will fly until it reaches...err...somewhere? I dunno, but if you're reading this, PLEASE REVIEW. Thank you Aprilicity for being the first reviewer! Then again, you were dying until I posted this...
ANYWHO, let the story begin!
"Look at the speed of the train! This must have an amazing engine, like a-"
"Leo! Please be quiet! Not everybody likes to talk about engines! Especially when they're riding to their death!"
Celestine and I were in a cart of the train, and apparently, she's not interested in engines.
"Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine." I snap.
"Well, at least I'm not one of Santa's elves who likes talking on and on about stupid engines." She spits.
"Who are you calling an elf?"
"You. I'm calling you an elf."
I glare at her, but she's smiling.
"Stop smiling! Aren't we riding towards our death?" I say, looking smug.
"Well, I'm a ray of sunshine. I can't help it! But shouldn't you be smiling? After all, elves are supposed to be happy, jolly toymakers." She replies, with a playful glint in her eye.
"Well then. How's this?" I put on a weird, and a bit demented smile on (which kinda hurt) and she giggles.
"Perfect! Now, just stop trying to be demented and you'll have a better smile."
"I thought it was perfect!"
"Depends on what your definition of perfect is. My definition of perfect is that it's a synonym for ish."
It takes a moment for me to understand that statement.
"Hey!"
"What? It wasn't the best smile in the world you know! Even Kristen Stewart can smile better, which is saying something." (A/N: To all Twilight fans, no offense. But I don't really like her acting. But if you like her acting, then whatever. I won't hate you. Don't hate me.)
"Hey! Why do you have to be so mean?" I ask.
"I'm not being mean! I'm just defending myself."
"That's how you defend yourself?"
"Pretty much."
"You are gonna die."
"No I won't."
"What makes you think that?"
"Because when I do that, I can steal things. Like that picture you had in your pocket."
I quickly try to find the picture I always keep with me of my mother, but I can't find it. I face Celestine to find her examining it.
"Give that back! That's precious to me!"
"Who is she? Is she your mom?"
I bite my lip, and look down at my feet, trying to not cry. By now, I've almost mastered hiding my emotions. She notices my sadness, and gives it back.
"I'm sorry. But at least I won't die! I hope..." I pull myself together, and I try to comfort her.
"Hey, you're not gonna die. You just stole that picture! I'm sure you'll survive."
"Thanks. Truce?"
"Truce." Suddenly, the doors open, and Ellia walks in.
"Hello Celestine and Leo! I'm hoping you're getting along well?"
We nod, and she claps her hand three times to signify her happiness.
"Perfection! We're going into the Capitol soon, so I suggest you washup, and set a good first impression!"
We nod, and we go into our compartments.
So how was that? Was it good? I hope this is a good friendship chapter. Well, that's what I was aiming for...
So do you think Leo's OOC? I'm not a boy, so I have no idea what a boy thinks. If I made any mistakes, grammatical errors or anything like that, sorry in advance! Until we meet again! :) :) :)
