"Hmm, being sensitive isn't your style, how about, confident, and strong." Astrea suggested as I tried to be sensitive. "Ugh, fine." I said rolling my eyes. "Alright so, how do you feel about yourself getting a 12?" Astrea asked me, pretending to be Ceaser. "I was really sure I would get a 10 or 9, but I didn't imagine getting a 12." I said giving my best smile. "Do you think you are going to win the Hunger Games?" Astrea asked me. "If I got a score of 12, then of course." I replied. "Lilac, I think we found your match." Astrea said grinning at me.

I felt thankful that I wouldn't get waxed again so they brought me to the same room where I changed. I thought they were going to put the same dress on, but I was wrong. Instead, they made me put on a black high-low dress with black heels, and they put me silver eyeshadow with black combined, and they added white lipstick and made me put on silver nail polish. I had to admit, I looked a lot more impressive than last time. I got a chance to look at Mitch, and he was wearing a black tuxedo this time, with a gray shirt and white bow tie with black suit pants and black suit shoes. His hair wasn't combed, which showed his wild personality. I could see him eyeing me, which earned him a playful slap. "Well, you look a lot cleaner than you usually are." I said giggling. "I could say the same about you training champion." Mitch retorted. In front of the training center, there were rows of chairs, and there was a big stage. I heard Mitch gulp next to me, which meant he was nervous too. I decided to grab his hand. I felt pretty dumb for doing it, but oh well.

I could see Maria getting on stage first with an obviously fake smile, waving at the crowd. Even though she got a 7, the crowd still loved her, since she was from District 1. Her interview went casual, but it was kind of dull. Troy's interview, it made many girls go crazy. I kept on rolling my eyes when he shot a wink at the crowd. Suddenly, I noticed it was my turn, so I went up to the stage hesitantly, and I began waving and giving out my best smile. I could hear some people whistle when they saw my appearence. "Hello there Lilac, it is a pleasure speaking to you." Ceaser said smiling. "Oh the pleasure is all mine." I said acting all sweet. "So, let's start talking about your training score, a 12! Did you expect to get that score?" "I expected to get a high score, but I could not imagine getting a 12." I said with an amazed tone. "You seem really rough in the arena, but tonight you look as beautiful as the moon." Ceaser complimented. "Why thank you." I said grinning. "Come on, why don't you give us a twirl?" Ceaser said holding his hand out. I got ahold of it and I did a twirl which made the crowd go wild. "Why not do it again?" Ceaser suggested, since it would make everyone happy, I decided to do it again, which made the crowd cheer.The next few minutes went splended, I went on talking about my life, but then there was that question, which made me freeze there at the spot. "So Lilac, is there any love going on during your life?" "Um, not right now, I'm not letting love make me weak." I answered, hoping I said the right thing. "Well I think you're right, anyway, do you feel guilty about killing that avox?" Ceaser asked. I didn't know what to say, until, "It was really unexpected. I guess I had no feelings toward her." I said shrugging. I heard the crowd cheering, wait, were they happy that I killed the avox? "So Lilac, what do you feel about Mitch, since he volunteered for your brother?" He asked. Please don't blush, "Well, I feel a lot of gratitude towards him." I answered. Then, the timer went off and he said, "Well, once again, it was a pleasure speaking to you, let's hear it for Lilac Gordon everyone!" After he said that, there were many cheers from the crowd, which meant they loved me.

When I got off the stage, I felt my legs wobbling. I looked at the stage to reveal Mitch getting on and speaking with Ceaser. I looked at him, and he had a slight hint of nervousness in his face. Thy were talking about some things, until Ceaser asked a really awkward question, "So Mitch, since you and Lilac are in the same district, do you feel anything other than friendship towards her?" Please say no, PLEASE say no, "Actually, I kind of do." Mitch admitted blushing. I could hear the crowd say ooooo, and made me blush real hard. I awkwardly massaged my neck and looked down. When he was done with his interview, he came down looking at me, but I just kept looking down. As the rest of the interviews went by, it finally showed Jason's, and I saw that he was wearing a blue tuxedo. He kept on talking about his life, but other than that he said, "and.....I kind of like Lilac Gordon....." I looked at the stage as if it were a wtf situation, and yes, it was. I heard Ceaser then say, "Oooooo, a love triangle." Which made me blush awkwardly. I could see Mitch glaring at the stage, clenching his fists. Oh I have had enough. When the games start tomorow, I am going to team with Jett, and THAT is final!
