Glimmer: A Hunger Games Fanfic

Chapter 6

I was somewhat relieved to not see my stylist in the room yet. I wanted her to be in there so I wouldn't have to be bored but then I realized that if she came in the room without me there I would have been in  huge trouble.  I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that I was gone for only a half in hour and the parade would start in an hour and half.  Panic went through me. Did my stylist decided to just ditch me and  leave me to just go into the parade in my white robe?   I wouldn't get sponsors that way and plus I would just die of embarrassment.

    The door opened and to my relief it was a woman. She was carrying a few hair supplies and a black garment bag. Finally my stylist arrived.  Her super long turquoise hair was slicked back into a tight high ponytail, even though it was super high, her hair fell past her butt. Her face looked like a unicorn puked all over it because it was that colorful. She wore these high platform boots and was wearing a turquoise galaxy mini skirt and a black halter top that ended below her ribs which showed off her huge diamond bellybutton piercing. What the most awesome thing was her skin. It looked like they implanted glitter into it.

"First before we start introductions, I must apologize for being so late," my stylist says as she closed the door, "My sewing machine broke down last night while sewing your outfit. I finally got it back from the repair shop only a few hours ago. So that's where I was, at home, finishing your outfit. Will you forgive me."

I smiled at my stylist, she was too bubbly and kind. "Of course. It's not your fault that happened."

"Good," she said smiling setting the hair supplies on a shelf that pulled out from the wall. She then turns to me," Okay now let's start introductions. Hello there, I'm Monroe and if you haven't guessed, I'm your stylist."

"I'm Glimmer, nice to meet you, " I reply, " So what do you have for me?"

"It's a surprise." Monroe smirked.  She made me take off my clothes and stand on this mat. She came over with a spray paint can and started spraying me. The smell wasn't actually that horrible like I thought it would, it smelled like strawberries and lemons. She then went over to the  wall, pushed on it and out came a little vanity. She made me sit on the chair while she curled my hair.

Forty minutes later, I was staring at myself in the mirror. A diamond tiara perched on top of my golden curled hair, my skin painted silver, I was wearing a silver sequined tunic, and glittered pumps. It wasn't the most creative District 1 outfit but it was still cute. I could make this work.

 I looked at Marvel and rolled my eyes. We looked exactly alike except he didn't have tiara. How lovely. I wanted to look at least a bit different than him.  I looked around the room and saw all the people I was going to be competing with in the arena. I saw District 2's tributes and saw that the boy was going to be a challenge. He was too big. Another threat was far back and looked like he was from District 11. His muscles looked like they were the same size as my head.  His partner was too tiny. She would probably be killed right after we get into the arena. But behind them, there was this girl. She was tall, dark hair and wise gray eyes. I instantly hated her, she seemed a threat and I didn't know why. I was going to keep an eye on her while in the training room. I just got a bad vibe from her. Her outfit though was really strange, it was just a black unitard, her hair in a simple braid, and little make-up. Wierd.

"It's time!" Monroe comes up to me and kisses my left cheek, " Good luck." I smiled as in a thanks and climbed on the chariot. Marvel was already there and being a gentlemen he was, didn't help me up.  The doors opened to the stadium and cheers sounded my ears.

"Welcome to the 74th Hunger Games!" Ceaser Flickerman excitedly says into the mircophone. The horse that was hooked up to my chariot started moving, jerking the chariot in the process. I almost lost my balance but gained it back when I switched my wieght on my left hip.

"Here comes our first tributes, Glimmer and Marvel. Look how cute they look." The crowd goes wild and I put on my best seductive smile. I waved at all the Capitol people, blew kisses, and catched a few.

Once we got to the end of the runway, a huge excitment went through the room like thunder. I looked up on the screen and saw that girl from District 12 on the screen. My mouth almost dropped and my eyes narrowed. She was on fire. Literally. The crowd was going nuts and frankly it made me want to take a doll and rip it's head off with my teeth. She was going to take some of my sponsers. But that wasn't the worst part, her and her district partner were holding hands. That was unheard of. I wanted to stamp my foot like a little child but I contained myself from blowing up and getting off the chariot to rip that girl off of her chariot and kill her right then and there. I gripped the chariot, making my knuckles turn white.

 Once they were up by us other tributes, the whole crowd went quiet to listen to what President Snow had to say. He said the usual stuff he said almost every year. When he finished, the horses automatically started walking out of the room. Once we got out the room, I ripped my hands from the chariot and got off.  Monroe, Marvel's stylist, Cashmere and Annette came up to us, trying to coax by saying  that we did a fabulous job. But I barely paid any attention them. I stared at the girl from District 12 and glared.

Later I learned her name was Katniss Everdeen.
