Alina was the first one to bolt towards the District Two penthouse after changing out of her costume and into her regular clothes. She did not even wait for Cato, Ikarus, or Mare. The only thing on her mind was how she was going to crush Katniss Everdeen like a little bug.
This was not how it was supposed to go. District Twelve never got that much attention, especially during the Tribute Parade. They always got the shitties costumes. The bare thought of a tribute from an outer district winning the games instead of her infuriated Alina like nothing else.
To make her mood worse, when the others came back, Mare forced her to have dinner with them even though she claimed she was not even hungry.
Alina stepped into the dining room in a dark green t-shirt and a pair of leggings, not bothering to spare anyone a glance as she sat down in the empty seat next to Cato ── who was too busy glaring down at the food on his plate to even utter an annoying comment in her direction.
Mare gave her a scolding side glare when she did not bother to greet any of them while Ikarus simply nodded at her and then took a long slow sip from the alcohol in his glass.
Pascal, Cato's stylist, cleared his throat and shifted in his seat awkwardly, "You two did well today."
Alina simply raised a bored eyebrow and lifted the fork in her hand to her mouth so she could eat a piece of meat from her plate.
𝘞𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘴. She thought bitterly. What were they doing? Standing there and looking pretty so they would get people to buy them stuff.
Cato didn't bother to hide his eye roll and let out a mocking snort, "Sure we did."
Mare's heel soon hit Alina's shin and by Cato's low grunt of pain, Alina knew she hit him too.
