Safe and Sound

Chapter 7

Why did I like Liam? But why did Jack have to like me? Love triangles are the worst. I can't believe this is happening. I just need to not think about this and focus on the games.

I had just woken up from a deep sleep by Donald again. I went into the kitchen for a bit of a breakfast meal. I sat at the table and ate a blueberry muffin.

Liam had soon came into the kitchen and all those idiotic, hormonal feelings started to come back. Why did this have to happen to me? I already had enough pressure!

He had sat down next to me and grabbed a cranberry muffin and started munching on it as well. "How did you sleep?" He asked, taking another bite of his muffin. I just shrugged. It wasn't that good of a sleep. It was deep, but light at the same time. That didn't make any sense. But nothing in my life made sense right now, so it's even.

"I guess it was good. I had a nightmare though," I remarked. I did have a nightmare. It scared to to death a well. It was April in the Hunger Games. I couldn't take it. I couldn't get out of it either till Donald woke me up. I don't know why I was telling Liam this, but I felt like I needed to.

He nodded softly, not going deeper into the subject, knowing that it would affect me. That was a problem about Liam. He was very caring. I'm not sure if its a problem, but it is for my heart. He seems like a really nice lad, but I'm not sure yet. He was kind enough to drop the subject about the nightmare though. That was good. That made me like him even more though. His caring ways made me attracted to him. Stupid hormones! They made me such a girl sometimes!

Peeta and Katniss then came into the room and sat down in front of us in the chairs that were on the opposite side of the table. "Good morning," they chorused. It was so sweet how they were so in love with each other. You could tell it by just looking into their eyes. They looked like they would do anything for each other, even if it meant their life. I wish I had that kind of relationship.

Wait, what?

Where did that come from?

I hate being a teenager. It was horrid sometimes. I had just finished my muffin with that thought and it was so delicious. I wanted another one, but I knew I couldn't have one, so I just contained the feeling.

I forgot about everyone in the room because I was so into my thoughts. Someone had to snap their fingers in front of me to bring me back into consciousness. I shook my head and came back. "Sorry guys, I was thinking too much." I laughed a bit with a small smile. I wanted that muffin back so I could eat more, I grabbed another muffin and this one happened to be a chocolate chip muffin; I loved those. I nibbled on the edge of it, while Liam started talking to me.

"I'm excited for the interview today! How about you, May?" Liam asked. I nodded excitedly. I was truly excited for the interview, but very anxious at the same time. It was nerve racking, but it was apart of the process, so I had to do it. I was planning to be myself, well not fully myself because sometimes I had that tone that said without words that I didn't want to talk to anyone. I was going to be somewhat myself. That's it, yes, somewhat.

Liam was soon done talking to me about the interview, which I did listen to, intently, and I got up to go back to my room. I still can't believe how big my room was! It was humungous! I sat down on the edge of my bed and soon there was a knock at my door.

Three heads popped in and I think they were my stylists. I forgot their names because they were very Capitol names. An they were hard to say and remember, so I just called them Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3. Of course I only called them that in my head because it would offend them if I said it aloud.

They got me up and led me into the styling room that was next to mine. I sat in the chair and they worked their magic with me. They clipped my nails, painted them perfectly might I add. It gave me a sneak peak of my dress. It was a dark blue with grey-white rhinestones on the finger next to my pinkie. They brushed my hair because they were going to actually do my hair and makeup later on before the interview. And Cinna had to approve, so I guess that wasn't an easy job.

Soon, I was ready for Cinna. They led me into a room where Cinna was in. I sat on the table and crossed my legs. He came over to me and put his hands on my legs.

"I will show you your dress in a minute. Right now, you will sit and and wait," he tapped my nose. I just stared at him with a blank expression. My head started to move slowly, telling him he could get the dress. I did wait, but not for long. No longer than five minutes, actually.

He came in with a beautiful blue dress.

(Picture in side bar) I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It was absolutely stunning. The three things came in and started to pamper me. They French braided my hair on each side of my head and it led into a ponytail. It wasn't a low ponytail or a high one. It was more in the middle.

They did my makeup also. It had blue and silver in it. On my lid was a blue color and in my crease was a darker blue color and in my inner corner and my brow bone was this silver color. They contoured and highlighted my face perfectly. They also put a cat eye on my lid and lined my waterline and tight line with black pencil eyeliner. They added glitter to my lids and they were almost finished.

Cinna handed me a pair of high heels. They were silver stilettos that had rhinestones on them, matching the top part of my dress. I looked at myself in the mirror. I truly felt beautiful. Cinna and the crew had some magic. It was truly amazing.

I figured how that Thing 1's name was Leopris Honeyman. His hair color was a honey colored blonde. His eyes were brown and his skin was a very faint orange. Thing 2's name was Olivia Hungary. She had black hair and blue eyes, interesting combination. She had a light pink skin tone. Thing 3's name was Hadia Pavea. She had blue hair. It was always interesting to look at her because it was always styled differently. She always had these really long eyelashes that would go out to the side. She had full on black eyes. She didn't have a bit of white in her eyes. She had a teal skin tone. The colors didn't match well, but she was from the Capitol, so anything goes there really.

"Cinna, I feel amazing. Thank you so much," I confessed to my friend. He nodded, bringing me in for a hug.

"You look amazing," he whispered in my ear. I smiled a bit. I pulled away from the hug. I walked out to the line of people, waiting for the interview. It was just about to start.

Liam and I were standing near the back. I saw her head again; Rose. I still wasn't sure it was her. She had the same hair, same eyes, just a little bit older features, but she was the same. Could it be her? No. It couldn't!

They called everyone in front of us and they got the girl who looked like Rose. Caesar said her name was Rose also. It was just a coincidence probably. I shook my head to clear my thoughts.

"Alright, love?" A voice asked behind me. I knew it was Liam before I even turned around. I nodded quickly, wanting to avoid the conversation.

Soon I was next in line and I had no idea what to do. I panicked a bit. I thought back to what I said to myself this morning.

"I am going to me somewhat. Somewhat."

That kept repeating in my mind and I was going to do exactly that. Somewhat myself. They finally called my name to go up on stage an my heart started to beat faster. I hope this ended well. I was near the stage and Caesar introduced me as May Hunter, "The Shiny One." I guess they got that from my costume. I just hope that I didn't mess this up because this meant sponsors and I needed them, desperately.

I walked up onto the stage, the lights blinding me. I couldn't mess up. Sponsors, somewhat yourself. Do it.
