Chapter 39: Scores and Meet Up at the Roof

Finnick POV

After the assessment for the 75th hunger games, we were all let go to go back to our accommodations. However, before Mags and I could enter our quarters, Haymitch invited us to view the announcement of the scores from the assessments along with his tributes. I accepted his offer.  

Later the day, the score will be revealed. With Mags by my side, we headed up to where district 12 tributes were currently staying. As we entered the room, where Haymitch was in, I could see Katniss and Peeta in the room. Peeta said hello to us, but Katniss ignored us all together. Haymitch saw us when we were let in by an avox. He got up from his seat to greet us. 

“Thank you for inviting us Haymitch,” I said while reaching out to shake his hand.

“Thanks for coming and bringing more wine,” said Haymitch. If I forgot to mention I did bring some wine to share with Haymitch. I would bring something stronger but I rather have us stay clear headed. 

“Because that's what you need more of,” mumbled Katniss.

After getting acquainted, we went on to settle in the living room. The five of us began to chatter until silence took over when the scores were about to be announce after Caesar ran his mouth about random stuff. We went on to watch the t.v, but we all were in our own heads and not paying attention.

I was out of my head until my name was called out. The t.v got my full attention now. I have to say, I wasn’t surprised at my score at all. I got a score of 11, which Is great. However, I was shocked when both Peeta and Katniss scored a 12. A 12 is the highest score anyone can get for the hunger games. With the showing finished, Haymitch had pulled me aside to ask me to meet him up at the roof later that night. I know why he wanted me to meet him along with others. Also, I need to keep up the act of being surprised with the news even though I know what he wanted to talk about.

Later on the night, I went towards the roof while Mags stayed in her room to get some rest. It was about time to meet up with Haymitch and to see what he wants to talk about.

Once on the rooftop, I saw other victors and some mentors waiting around. However, there was no Haymitch yet. He is running late to his own meeting. As I said before there were a whole bunch of tributes and mentors gathered in one place tonight.

Everyone was on time except for Haymitch, the man of the hour. The only people not here on the rooftop were the career’s from district 1 and 2 as well some other districts. These people that weren’t here were not invited to this party I guess. The only people here are from district 3, 4,6, 7,8, and 11. The two tributes of district 12 were with Haymitch I presume or not coming at all. 

After a while of waiting and talking with others, we all heard the rooftop door burst open loudly. 

“Alright,” said Haymitch.

“What are we doing here Haymitch?,” I said.

“I can explain why you're here, but someone else can explain it better for you all. However, you all will need to keep an open mind,” Haymitch said.

“Come out here,” said Haymitch.

The door of the rooftop opened wide open once more and out came Plutarch Heavensbee, a game maker for the hunger games. The atmosphere on the rooftop changed immediately. Everyone on the rooftop were feeling different emotions when they saw that man. Things were no longer a fun loving atmosphere.

Everyone was going into defensive mode and not liking the idea of Heavensbe knowing that they were all here. Who knows what he will do to make our lives a living hell in the arena.
