So are you ready for the interviews? Cinna asked admiring my dress.

"No." I admit to him. "If anything I'm quite the opposite."

"All you have to do is be yourself." He said with a comforting smile.

"Apparently I'm hostile and sullen when I'm myself. Or at least that's what Haymitch says."

"Well, you are when you're with Haymitch. But to be honest everyone loves you. Nobody ever stops talking about you around here. If it helps you at all, I'll be in the first row. When you're asked a question look at me, and answer as honestly as you can."

I nod, and follow Cinna out of the dressing room. We walk out and see all of the tributes in a line starting from the female of district 1, to district 12 where I have to stand in front of Peeta.   Soon the interviews start and Glimmer from district 1 walks up to the stage.

Immediately she has the attention of the crowd because she is stunning. They talk a little, share a few laughs and then she's done. Then her district partner was up and his was sort of the same as hers. It wasn't anything fantastic though.

Then it was Clove's turn. She also looked absolutely stunning. When she sat down Caesar started to ask the questions. I paid a lot of attention to her interview, maybe she would say what her strategy is for the games.

Caesar started off by asking a question about how she reached her score of ten. And she replied with how she's very skilled with her knives. But one particular question got my attention.

"So Clove, most of the Capital is dying to know, is there a special guy back home?" I felt a strange feeling after he asked that. Unfortunately I have no idea what it is.

"No." She replied.

"I don't believe it for a second! Look at that pretty face!" Caesar pushed her.

"Honestly there is no one, I've never been in a relationship." Then a knew feeling surged through me. Was it relief?

Then Caesar moved on to the normal questions. About strategies and families and she answered them. Unfortunately she didn't say anything about her strategy but, that it's a surprise and that she'll be ready.

When her interview was done she walked back in. Everyone's eyes were on her including mine. Then we made eye contact, we stared at each other for a couple of seconds. I'm surprised she hasn't looked away ye- never mind. She then turned on her heels and ran away.

Soon it was my turn and I immediately got nervous. I slowly walked up the stage and sat in the chair. I get lost in the audience trying to find Cinna, only to see the audience staring at me with confused expressions.

"What?" I ask Caesar, who is staring at me.

"Looks like someone's a little nervous. I said, that was quite an entrance you made at the tribute parade the other day, do you want to tell us about it?" He said.

"I was just hoping I wouldn't burn to death." I replied, the audience laughed.

"When you came out of that chariot, I have to say, my heart stopped. Did any of you experience this as well? My heart stopped." He said putting his hand on his heart. As the audience was clapping and cheering.
