Hunger Games

5

"Victoria Black" the voice echoes through the speaker. I swallow harshly and walk towards the doors which open as Michel walks out and sends me a small smile, I walk into the centre of the room where there's a bow and arrows and a target set up for me

"You may start" A man says from above and I take the bow into my hand and load it aiming at the target. I let the arrow go and it lands perfectly in the centre of the target and I smile to myself, looking up at the game makers I see them just talking to each other not even looking down at me so I get their attention by singing as loud as I can

"We're like a melody with no words
Until we figure it out
We sing la la la la, la la
I know it's simple, yeah
But it's worked right until now
Cause up 'till now, yeah
Every day's been like a dream world, oh
But now you're not just in my head, oh no

Will we remember different summers?
It's like tossing your heart to see where it lands
Heads is easy, tails is harder to plan
If we start it all over again
And again and again, oh

You know that I can't help but wonder
What's gonna happen next
I'm a little curious, oh yeah
Every star that I stood under
When you were under it too
Did you ever think about us?
I hope you did cause I can tell you
That's something I'll never forget
I won't forget

If we remember different summers?
It's like tossing your heart to see where it lands
Heads is easy, tails is harder to plan
If we start it all over again

Only friends, just beginning
But I hope that we find it again
So we can go from here, oh

Will we remember different summers?
It's like tossing your heart to see where it lands
Heads is easy, tails is harder to plan
If we start it all over again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again
Will we remember different summers?" I sing until they all look at me, at least that got their attention.

"Thankyou for your time" I tell them sarcastically and I put the bow back in place and walk out of the room and up to the apartment

I walk into the room where Michel is sitting on the steps, Haymitch is sitting on the couch with a drink in his hand and Effie is pacing backwards and forwards while Cinna is just standing at the widow looking out at the Capitol.

"Victoria! How did it go" Effie squeals as she sees me

"It was great you know I just had a little sing song" I tell her and I walk over to the arm chair and sit in it

"You had a sing song" Cinna asks raising an eyebrow in curiosity

"You bet I did" I tell him with a smile and Effie walks around so she i facing me

Effie looks mad as she begins to speak but Haymitch beats her too it "You were supposed to shoot an arrow not sing for them" Haymitch says annoyed

"Well I did shoot my arrow but they weren't paying attention so I had to get their attention some how" I hiss at him. Since last night, it has been very awkward between us and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do as the games are tomorrow and so far we have only been arguing not talking about what almost happened so I really don't stand a very good chance.

The screen comes on lightingup the room and Caesar appears on screen so Effie, Michel and Cinna come sit down with us and Caesar reads the results. Luke got a 10 and Star got a 9. Louise got a 7 and James got a 6. Most of the other tributes got either a 6 or 7.

"now from District 12, Michel Green with a score of 6" Caesar reads and Michel looks disappointed

"Well done" Effie tells him

"And finally from District 12 also, Victoria Black with a score or 10" Caesar says before the screen goes off and I'm so happy with my score

"Congratulations Victoria" Cinna tells me

"To Victoria the Goldern girl" Effie says and her and Cinna click there glasses of champagne together and Michel walks out of the room. Effie and Cinna seem happy that I scored 10 but Haymitch doesn't seem to be saying anything about it

"Now that that is over let's go get you ready for your interview" Cinna tells me and we walk down to the dressing room.

Once am ready, I make my way down behind the stage where the other tributes are waiting to be called on by Caesar for their interviews. Once all the tributes in front of me have been called I know that it will soon be my turn to go on and I walk up to the wing and there is a huge crowd of people out there.

"Ladies and Gentlemen next up we have a girl all the way from District 12. Victoria Black" Caesar calls and I walk over to him and the audience cheer as I sit beside him "Now Victoria tell us a bit about yourself" Caesar tells me

"Well I'm pretty much an open book, no secrets, nothing to hide" I tell him with a fake smile

"I can imagine back home your parents are proud of you as well as a boyfriend I assume" Caesar asks me and I see Haymitch in the crowd looking at straight at me with curiosity.

"Actually both my parents are dead. And well I don't have a boyfriend" I tell him with a sad smile

"well I'm sorry to hear that but I'm sure if they were with us then they would be proud" He tells me

"I hope so" I say

"As for no boyfriend I don't believe that for a second, I'm sure we could find you someone right here" he says and the crowd cheer

"I don't know, I'm pretty hard to impress" I say with a laugh

"now Victoria that entrance at the chariot ride was quite something. That dress was amazing" he tells me

"Thankyou, in fact I'm wearing the glitter again" I say to him

"Can we see it" he asks and I stand up and twirl and as I do black and gold glitter comes out of it "One last time everyone Victoria Black" He shouts and I walk of the stage and over to Effie and Haymitch who wait for me and we walk over to the screen and Michel goes on. Caesar asks Michel loads of questions straight away and Michel looks really nervous out there

"You didn't seem feared out there" Haymitch says to me

"Fear of a thing only increases the thing you fear itself" I tell him with a smile before looking back at the screen

"You look beautiful by the way sweetheart" Haymitch tells me but he keeps his eyes on the screen

"Thanks" I mutter as I look at him before back at the screen.
