Forty-Four: my sex life becomes a little public

"Marina, how about you shut your fucking mouth before I bust a cap on your ass?" I grit as I walk into the lobby. Marina is babbling something about disrespect, but I don't really care. Finnick and I walk alongside each other, making our way to our chariot.

This year will be absolutely insane for two reasons. One; it's all former Victors. And two; Finnick and I have lost all self restraint since we'll be dead in a few weeks, so why not go all out?

Our outfits are quite skimpy, since that's all we are to the Capitol; sex symbols. Finnick has a net tied around his waist, cleverly knotted at his groin. I have one that's more like two rectangles covering my crack and my slit, and you can literally see my ass cheeks, as well as one to cover my breasts. We wear matching necklaces, though I have some more jewelry. My hair has been pinned back with a dark blue headband studded with sapphires, and my hair has been made to look wild and almost nappy with my wraps in it. Marina wants to pain me as The Wild Woman, which is all I'm known as in the Capitol.

"Isn't this classy?" Finnick grins. He gets excited and snags a few sugar cubes. They're meant for the horses, but he's taken a liking to them.

"Oh, very." I remark, looking at how much bare skin we have. The only shoes we even have are sandals, so most of our feet are revealed. "I wonder how many sponsors I'll get if I show my left lip?"

Finnick laughs, and I look off behind him. Katniss Everdeen is dressed in a terrifying black dress, and very bold makeup. I suppose Cinna is done with the little girl look she had when she won.

I walk over to her, my shoulders pinned back and my head held high. A few of my friends- no. They're my competition, now. A few of my fellow tributes wave at me, and I greet them as I get to the end of the line. Katniss doesn't notice me until I'm playing with her hair.

She startles, hopping back a little. I drop her soft black hair and smile at her. "Hello, Miss Everdeen." I say as though we've known each other for years, when in fact, this is our first time meeting.

I stand close to her, which seems to bother her. She's very small- somewhere around 5'1 or something. She's skinny, too, despite her newfound wealth. I assume it's lasting effects of the starvation she and most of 12 have suffered for decades. I'm much taller than her, standing at around 5'10, and while I'm thin, I'm much bigger than she is.

I will say that she is quite pretty. Even without her dark and goth-y getup, or her excessive makeup, she's quite a beautiful young lady. I can see why Peeta likes her so much- looks wise, at least. I don't know much about her personality.

"Hello, Daphne." She says calmly as she strokes her horse. I look at it, smiling softly before turning back to her. "Got tired of standing with your boyfriend?" She says pointedly.

I grin. "Well, it's a shame that things turned out this way. Y'know, I wasn't really supposed to be with him. Made me salty for years, in fact. I still am. And you-" I jab her chest, and she stares at me almost angrily. "Why, you and Peeta got a free pass to be as in love as you please."

I don't really care how angry I'm coming off. Katniss sees right through it, and she understands that I didn't buy her little act. For Peeta, it wasn't an act. It's obvious that he's loved her for years. Katniss cares about him, but I know she doesn't love him.
