Gimme a sec.

"That was just...fantastic!"

Elodie's high pitched voice is scurrying down the steps towards our chariot. I feel myself stepping off of the Chariot and towards the stone pebbles that Elodie was standing on, she was actually wiping tears away from her eyes. I could tell she did deeply care about me. that made me feel much better than I ever did.

Elodie helps me down from the chariot and onto the floor, where my floor-length gown is sparkling in the moonlight now. I watch as other tributes come into the stadium, most of them watching me of course as I stand there, I look quite pretty.

"You look incredible" I heard a voice, Kendra and Lighting are behind me all of a sudden. Alexandria had whisked Saron off to one side and was congratulating him immensely. Kendra kisses both of my cheeks.

"What did I tell you? everyone loved you!" Kendra screamed out as she held my hand gently and Lighting began to whisk me away towards Maggs and Finnick.

"They did?" I blink in somewhat of confusion as Kendra and Lighting both have massive smiles on their faces.

"Oh please you were all they could talk about" Lighting compliments me. "You looked like you had walked out of heaven!"

"What did I say? District Four might get a winner this year!" Elodie beams, I can tell I am warming to her just as much as she is warming to me. I think that she's all a front and is actually a sweet person underneath all that makeup.

"Oh your too kind, Elodie." I flick my hair back.

I notice Finnick and Maggs are both looking at me as I stroll over with my team. Saron and his stylist, Alexandria have too strolled over and are looking at the two of us with delight. I've just now realised that I completely tower over Saron, he seemed taller and much more confident in the carriage than he does now. Nimbler and weak.

Mags does something with her hands and I look at her in confusion before my eyes tilting over to Finnick. "What is she saying?"

"She's saying she thinks that you looked fantastic." Finnick looks me up and down and Maggs nods her head. I thank Maggs politely.

I look Finnick in the eye and I wonder, just that little bit, what the hell he thought of me, watching me from the big screen. "What did you think?"

"I think you looked the hottest I've possibly ever seen you." Finnick laughs, this time I cannot tell if he's being sarcastic. and then he kisses my cheek before walking off. "It was incredible, darling. Both of you"

Ten minutes later, after I've rode the elevator (the first elevator I have ever rode in my life) it looked so crystal clear and the fact that you could see the entire building and living quarters that we were living in. Elodie escorted me and Saron into the elevator and all the way up to District Four's floor. it might have been the fanciest thing I've ever actually been in.
