What Are The Odds

Am I Just Drawn to bad luck

Nico pov

We were waiting in a line.

we were being called one by one to go on the stage. I was so anxious.

My heart wouldnt stop beating so fast. I took a deep breath in and shakedly exhaled.

This is gonna be a long day i thought. Everyone listed there abilites and had there funny chokes here and there.

I stared down at my outfit second guessing if i looked good or not. Cinna put me in this and told me theyll love me. I wonder if they would.

Before i knew it i was next. I inhaled sharply. I looked behind me and saw percy giving me a thumbs up. Mouthing 'youll do great'

I nodded in response.

"And now for our 12th district you all now him for 'the dark angel' nico di angelo!" He announced. My heart raced as i stepped on stage i looked at the stages tvs and saw me with my outfit

Flashback

I spun around as i looked down

"Amazing" cinna said.

I looked at cinna and put my hands on my hips.

"I dont feel amazing" i said

"Dont you know how beautiful you look" cinna said.

"No and i dont know how to make people like me how do you make people like you " I looked at cinna as he touched up my outfit which was not a gown but a regular outfit but it was special in a way

"Well you made me like you" cinna respounded

"But thats different i wasnt even trying" i retorted

"Exactly"

Cinna finished. And nudged me towards the mirror. I looked and couldnt believe it was me.

My face didnt have much makeup but it had black dusted glitter on my cheeks. My eyes was outlined by eyeliner and my hair was neat yet messy. Since my hair got a little long they cut it in a short shag with tiny curls like baby batwings.

I had on a big leather avaitors jacket and my shirt was black with a skull on the front. I had black jeans that had a white sash tide around it which pulled the outfit together. And i had my combat boots my sister gave to me...i looked great.

"Just be yourself ill be there the whole time and just pretend your talking to me ok "cinna said and touched up my hair.

"Ok..." i whispered

End of flashback

As i walked on stage i stared into the croud and there cheers and roars got louder forbiddening for me to here as i sat down.

I looked at caesar in front of me. Looking like he was waiting for something

"What...?" I asked. The croud laughed and so did he.

"I think someones a little nervous. I said that was quite an entrance at tributes parade the other day want to tell us about."

I stared into the croud and looked back at caesar. So many people.

"Well I...was just hopeing i wouldnt fall off the chariot." Everyone laughed. I had no words cesar looked at me smiling.

"When you came off that chariot i have to say my heart stopped. Did anyone experience that." The croud went wild as if it was the best thing they heard ever . What a weird audience.

I thought of something to say and put a smile on my lips.

"So did mine" the croud laughed

Caesar laughed and looked at me.
