CLATO (now and forever)

Tribute Parade

** CLOVE'S POV **

When we pull into the train station I hear Capitol people chanting " Cato, Clove, Cato, Clove," I lay on my bed for awhile before Brutus comes in and tells me it's time to go. As we walk to the doors we meet up with Enobaria and Cato. We near the doors and I prepare myself for what is at the other side. The doors open and the first thing I see is a bunch of colors. Colors everywhere. Pink buildings, blue people, bright yellow clothes, neon green hair, I feel dizzy when I look at everything. Back home we dont really have bright colors. I mean we have blues, greens, and other colors, we just dont usually see neon colors unless someone from the capitol visits. We head out the door and Cato grabs my hand. A bunch of women scream Cato's name, when he waved one of them fainted. I blew kisses and tried to act a little nice but I also acted evil, I put and evil smile on my face and the crowd cheered. these are the sponsers I think, and they love us! When we reach the building where we will be staying, we are led to a room. My prep team takes me in one direction, and Cato's takes him in another. They have me lay down on a metal table. One of them puts a warm wax on my legs and I relax, until a cloth is placed on my leg and is removed, taking my hair with it. They rub creams and liquids into my hair and rinse them out. Then they rub cream all over my body, one of them paints my nails a gold color, another is trying to dry my hair, and the last one is waxing my eye brows. When they finish they take me to meet my stylist. He comes in and tells me is name is Mali. he is sort of normal compaired to my prep team. he has blue eye liner, a black shirt, jeans, blue shoes, and a purple belt. While my prep team has different colored skin, tatoos, neon colored hair, and strange clothes. My prep team leaves and Mali and i sit down and eat. He tells me that for the tribute parade Cato and i will wear something to represent our district.

"District 2 is masonry" he says

"Yeah, I know I grew up there" I say showing that I'm not stupid.

'You and Cato will be dressed as gladiators"

"How do gladiator represent masonry?"

"Well a long time ago gladiators would have fights, kind of like The Hunger Games, they would use weapons, weapons they made, masonry, and they were actually known for masonry"

"Wow, i thought they just fought in an arena"

"Well you learned something new" he said. When we finished eating, Mali took my measurements. Then took me to a chair with a mirror in front of it. He puts gold eye liner on me, a natural blush and lipstick, then curled my hair and put it up in a high ponytail. He put stuff on my arms and legs that made me shimmer. Then he brought in my outfit, he said I wasn't allowed to see it yet. H helped me put it on, but before he let me turn around he put a gold crown on my head. I looked beautiful, for the finishing touch he gave me a pair of sandals. He led me to our chariot. I see Cato and I start to laugh inside, he is wearing a skirt. Cato helps me into the chariot and we wait until district one pulls out. They look like flamingos, but the girl, Glimmer, is very attractive and I can tell cato thinks so. He has been staring at her for along time, and this makes me mad. They pull out then 10 seconds later we do. Once the Capitol people see us they scream there heads off. We wave and smile, I actually blow some kisses. Some of them throw roses and I caught one, when i did that they go crazy. We hve the spotlight for awhile, but then we lose it. I look at the screans and I see district 12 on fire!

" I hope they burn" cato whispers

"Dont worry at the bloodbath we will kill them" I say

"I get the girl," he says. I wonder why though, I hope he doesnt like her too. No! If he liked her, he wouldnt want her dead.When we reach where President Snow is the flames disapear. Snow gives his long speech that he says every year, then we turn around and head back. We get off the chariot and I see Cato glaring at Katpiss, or whatever her name is. We go up to our room, when we get there my eyes go wide, and my jaw drops. Its nicer than the train, the train had diamonds, and a bunch of food, silk walls, velvet floors, fancy furniture, comfortable seats. Eliza tells us we have a penthouse, which is basically like a house but we hasve a whole floor to ourselves. I go to my room, and when I enter I gasp. The walls are a night sky blue color, the ceiling has stars that glow, and my bed looks like it can fit 15 people. Plus i have my own bathroom, Eliza told us we could do whatever we want until dinner, so I decide to take a shower. The warm water feels so good on my skin, in the shower ther are so many buttons. I push one and shampoo is put on my hair. I push another one and conditioner comes out. I wash the stuff out of my hair and get body wash put on me. When I finish I step out and push a button that says dry. Within seconds l am dry. Wow everything in the capitol is so different. l put on some pjs and go to sleep. Only to wake up to Cato coming into my bed.
