Was it all worth it?

-Clove-

When the door opened the overwhelming screams and yells of excitment almost poped my eardrums.We wlaked behind Nikija followed by two peackeepers.I looked around at the people that live here.What Brutus siad was in my mind about being stoic and not smiling or anything. That was the only reason i didn't burst out laughing.They looked ridiculus.Pink, green, blue or even gold hair.Weird jackets dresses men wearing make up, eyelashes long enough to kill someone.It was so abstract to me how they can live like that.And to think that we have to trust someone like that while we're in the games.They can turn it all around with their gifts.How crazy is the world we live in.Soon we were out of the train station going down the stairs to probably meet our prep teams.We went trough the tunnel and got to white and light blue room filled with people just like we saw at the station but they all were wearing the same thing.Nikija introduced us to our prep teams and we were taken back to our "Stations".
Next thing i know i was laying naked on the table after being hosed down by those freaks.They were waxing every inch of my body then "washing" it but it felt more like trying to skin me alive i think they got through to like new layer of my flesh. When they were finally done my whole body was red and they put some cream on me and moved me to the other room.

"Lay still.Anika will be here soon." One of them said and the door closed behind them

To lay maked on the table waiting for someone to show up is akward to say to least.Then i thought of Cato being in the same situation right now probably.It made me laugh a little.

"Good mood i see i like that.Im Anika i will be your stylist." A tall blond woman said to me as she stepped into the room.

"Um yeah would be better if i was dressed."I looked at her.

"Oh yeah put on that robe.I will just take some mesurements and then we're all set." She gave me white robe, it was so soft.

"So your job is to make me look good, right?" I said while getting the robe on.She didn't respond.

"Okay Clove we i just need some information and were good." She took out a measure and did what she had to.

"You wont make us look stupid will you?" I stared her dead in the eye.

"Uhhh... I hope you will like it, we have a great plan with Rayo.You two will look awesome trust me.Now i will take this to my team and i will be back soon."She left the room and i was alone again.

I just paced around the room i couldnt sit on my ass doing nothing.Every secound here gets on my nerves.Those people how they dress how they talk just their entire existance is annoying.Im just glad that my stylist is remotely normal.She isn't overdessed and her make up doesn't look like a rainbow puked all over her face.Soon Anika returned to me.

"So Clove what do you want to eat while we wait for your parade costume." She asked as she pulled a table out from the wall.

"Well that was something.Food food ummm lamb with mashed potatoes sounds good doesn't it." I laughed and i sat on the chair next to her.

"Yep Lamb with mash potatoes it is." With that we had our food on the table.

"What the...." I looked at her confused."How did it...?"

"Welcome to Capitol sweetie.Thats how it works at least here."She laughed.

"Don't call me sweetie." I said with a knife in my hand.

"Oh yes here it is i was told you have some character.I like that."

"Yeah yeah you won't fool me, we know you don't care about us.If we get sponsors you probably get a raise and be more recognized here in capitol.If we win and you dress us on the victor tour you will be an icon who dresses the victor.So just go on with eating show up with my outfit and cut the crap, thanks." I looked her in the eyes while sayin it but she looked unbothered.
