TreechxReader-The last great american dynasty

Chapter 5-Hit the floor

After a few hours at the zoo I can see more people in those red outfits show up and start talking to various tributes. I guess we do have mentors and blondie wasn't lying. I also found out blondies name is snow and rainbow ruffles is Lucy.

"Are you Treech?" some blonde girl impatiently yells in Treech's direction. 

I can see his face harden as he stares at her cautiously. He then sends me look and I shrug at him. I am not making the decision of whether or not he should talk to her. 

"I don't have all day" she says again. Treech just rolls his eyes then walks over to her. 

Well she sure seems lovely. I just watch as she talks to him. I can't tell what she is saying, but I can tell she is trying to remain patient. But not doing a great job at that. It's really pissing me off.

I get it. All the capital born kids think they are better than us and that we are trash. But that doesn't mean she gets to be a bitch to my Treech. 

I am not someone who is confrontational, but I swear one more dirty look in my direction, or mean look at Treech and someone is gonna end up crying. And it won't be me.

"Damn if looks can kill then you little boyfriends mentor would be dead" I look over to see Brandy looking at me. She looks amused as she takes the spot Treech once sat in.

"Hi Brandy" I say before going back to staring.

"You know I never caught your name when we were on the train" she says to me "Tanner was too busy running his mouth for me to ask anything. He's always been like that though."

I give her my name before asking "Did you know each other before this?"

"Yeah we're cousins" she says with a sad look "I am gonna take a wild guess and say you and the lumberjack know each other"

"Your guess would be right. He's my boyfriend" I say in a somber tone.

"Damn that's rough. It really sucks that those capital bastards would do shit like this." she says with a bit of rage in her eyes.

"Yeah it's pretty shitty. I'm sorry about you and your cousin. You two deserve better" I say while looking at her.

She almost smiles at my words before saying "Thanks I guess. You deserve better too" I nod at her words.

We kinda sit in silence for a minute before I decide to ask "Have you met your mentor yet?"

"No" Brandy says "I hope they don't suck as bad as your boyfriends. I'm not afraid to cut a bitch if I have too. I won't put up with being belittled"

"Well Brandy I hope you won't have too" I say. "But I'm sure they all suck"

"Yeah. Do you know what a sheep looks like?" Brandy ask me.

I'm a little confused by the question, but I answer and say "I think so. I may have seen one in a book"

"Well Blondie the rainbow girls mentor looks just like one. That or like that weird looking dog over there" she says and I look over to see what she means and I see the ugliest dog I have every laid my eyes on. (a poodle)

I let out a laugh at the comparison."That is so accurate" I say between giggles. My amusement on the situation makes her laugh too 

"You aren't so bad" she says.

"You aren't either" I say to her. I can see Treech's mentor walk away and him walking back to me.

Brandy looks him up and down before sending me a wink and saying "looks like your loverboy is back" she gives me a knowing smile that makes me roll my eyes.

Treech just looks at us confused before Brandy stands up and gestures to the spot. She sends me a wave before walking away. She doesn't get far until her mentor calls her over. Her mentor has cute hair. But I can tell she will end up being a pain.

"How did it go?" I ask Treech once he sits back down.

"Fine I guess. She was kinda mean, and only wants me to win so she can get some stupid school prize or whatever." he says. 

"Oh of course she has a motive" I say "I'm sorry that she wasn't nice to you."

"It's fine I guess. Didn't expect anything from her anyways" he says. He then nods his head towards Brandy and asks "What was all that about?"

I shrug my shoulder once again and say "I don't really know, but shes kinda funny"

He just hums at my words as a question then I attempt to explain her comparison between snow and a farm animal or dog.

My words are interrupted when the girl we are speaking about lets out a loud grunt, and her mentor let's out a blood curdling scream.

I look over to see a knife in Brandy's hand and her mentors throat slit open. I feel bile rise up in my throat as I look at the scene before me. Brandy really didn't lie when she said she wasn't afraid to cut someone.

It doesn't take long for peacekeepers to start shooting towards Brandy. I then duck and Treech quickly wraps his arm around me and brings me towards the ground with him.

This really wasn't how I thought the first day in the capital would go.

I didn't think I would form a small almost friendship like thing with Brandy. I didn't think she would actually cut open her mentor. And I didn't think I would have to watch her get shot to the ground.

I hate to say it, but I'll miss her. The thought of her death and image of hers and her mentors blood brings tears to my eyes. I just bury my head in my arms and let it out. I know Treech won't let me move until everything has calmed down. So I don't feel bad for just hiding my face and crying.

I just hope I don't throw up on him. That would make me feel worse.

I wish I can check on him right now, but I won't dare to let anyone see me cry. Also all of the tributes are as still as a statue and no one dares to make a noise. I guess I am not the only one who is afraid of getting shot too.

After about 30 minutes of nobody doing anything I peek my head up. I expect to just see Brandy's lifeless body there, but I also see Tanner.

Oh my goodness I forgot about Tanner. Oh poor sweet Tanner. Not only did he lose his only connection to home, but he lost a part of his family. The thought just brings more tears to my eyes.

I wish I could give him a hug. I know I don't know him, but I feel bad that he going through this alone.

This all makes me hate the capital more. I know I should probably feel bad for the mentor who died, but I feel indifferent to that. They shouldn't treat people like animals, then be surprised when they react like one.

I may not have any feelings towards religion, but the look on Tanners face makes me pray for this country to burn.

Sooooo we had a little friendship moment with miss Brandy before her demise. And the reader has a genuine belief that Vipsania Sickle is the devil in the flesh. Yes reader hates her that much. 

Who wouldn't hate her if she was rude to our baby boy Treech? She's beautiful though I'll give her that.
