Effie's Diary

The Upcoming

Hey, sorry I've been gone for so long. Here's a quick chapter. :)

Effie POV:
That night, I get a call on the phone. Hurriedly, I rush to answer, hoping it'll be one of my girlfriends.

I answer. Katniss.

"Effie? Effie! We need to talk."
"About?"
"Oh, sorry, let me rephrase that, Mrs. Abernathy."
"... What do you want?"
"So you're not denying Mrs. Abernathy?" Katniss says all knowing.
"Go on." I say firmly.
"Haymitch wants you to come down here,"
"Why? Why would he want anything to do with me?"
"He wants to hit it. Off with you."
"You're joking. Really, why?"
"To chat. I'm supposed to be making the plans."
"Oh... Okay, I suppose if he wants to see me, he shall!" I say excitedly.
"So it's a plan?"
"You betcha!" I squeal.

I hang up the phone and nervous thoughts flow through me. What if she's joking? Will he make fun of me? Do they all know?

Sighing, I pack up my pink chiffon lace suit cause and make sure I have everything. I hope he doesn't see me without my makeup.

Haymitch POV:

Lately, the Capitol Princess and liquor are all that's on my mind. I know she likes me and all, but why? I'm just a drunkard, and a victor.

Waking up in a pile of broken bottles, I hear a knock on my door. And another. And another. Finally, I decide to get up and open it.

Katniss stands there, with a smile on her face.

"She's coming, you better clean yourself up." she says, looking at my rusty appearance.
"She better clean up all that makeup, and that wig. Does she not have hair?"
"Not the point." Rolling her eyes, she steps in-rude!- and looks disgusted at the sight of broken bottles, specks of blood, and the heavy stench of booze.
"You're a mess."
"You've observed?"
"Go wash up, shave, shower, whatever you have to do. I'll.. Clean. She's staying here, you know."
"She is?!" I say, completely shocked by her choice of resort.
"She doesn't know yet, but it'll be good for her."
"Whatever."
I take a step into the bathroom and look at myself. Damn, I look rough. I step in the shower and then it on. Remembering the special features it has, I press a button which will make my shower and more importantly, me, smell like musk. Whatever that is and however this Capitol shit works.
