"Twirl for me." Crito says, I sigh as I twirl for what seemed like the fiftieth time.

It was the day of the interviews, Crito had made me an orange dress with ruffles at the top. I had little makeup on because he claims that I'm 'naturally dazzaling' whatever he means by that. The most amount of makeup was around my eyes.

I had very little sleep last night, so my eyelids were drooping. I slouched and folded my arms.

"Stand up straight," Crito scolded, "It's all about posture, you must look intimidating. You may be small but you scored a ten and everyone knows it."

"What's the point when Fire Girl scored an eleven!!!! She's from an outlying district!!!" I shouted back, still furious. I never quite calmed down last night, my mentor had to come in and stop me from smashing what little unbroken things that were left in my room.

"Yes that maybe but we don't know what she did to score higher than you, she may just be very good at plants and starting fires." Crito said.

"You can't score an eleven by plants and fires!!!! She must have used a weapon!!! Don't you see? She was trained, by the Capitol like us." I half shouted.

"That maybe, why don't you look at her closely and try and figure it out." He suggested.

"You mean like observation?" I said with a raised eyebrow. That could work, maybe if I find out what weapon she used, I can make sure she won't get it in the bloodbath.

"Exactly." Crito said with a grin.

All tributes were standing in a line, waiting to be called up for our interview with Caesar Flickerman.

We were standing in the order of our districts so Glimmer was to go first.
There was a massive roar from the crowd as Caesar made his appearance on stage.

"Let's see is she does indeed shine, give it up for Glimmer!" Caesar enthused and the crowd cheered.

Glimmer made her way up onto the stage, swishing her dress around and waving like crazy.
I folded my arms and looked up at the screen that she was on, a bored expression on my face.

"Are you prepared?" Caesar asked her.
"Yes Caesar, I am very prepared." She replied, smiling widely as she faced the audience.

"Confidence, I like it." Caesar said, and before I knew it, it was my turn.

"Please give her a warm welcome, from District 2, Clove!!!" Caesar shouted and the crowed went wild.

I felt eyes bore into my back as I lifted up my dress and made my way to the stage. Remember to look intimidating, Crito's words echoed around my head as I climbed the steps.

I smirked as I walked towards Caesar who had his hand outstretched towards me, I shook it.

"Welcome Clove." He said as we sat down. I smiled smugly at the audience as he asked me the first question.

"So Clove, tell me, how did you manage to score a ten?" He asked.

"I just showed the Gamemakers what I could do." I replied truthfully.
