(A/N: Okay, soooo this one won't be very good as I've never gone through this...because I'm a little young. Um...you guys may not like me for this chapter....the ending of this one and the beginning of the next one are sad, I guess you could say...)
Over the next few days nothing much happens. We just walk around 12 until our time is up and we go to the Capitol. The Capitol is where the largest party is held. Over 10,000 people come to the party in the Capitol while in the districts the most is around 700 people. This party lasts for 72 hours non-stop and I am expected to stay the whole time. Everyone must wear their most extravagant clothes because you are judged on how you look in the Capitol.
"What are you going to wear?" I ask Haymitch as I walk to my room.
"Um.... I dont know. I think I only have one suit left to wear."
"What suit is that?" I say getting to my door. "Just go get it." I enter my room and sit on my bed. Haymitch quietly enters my room. He holds up his old tuxedo in front of him.
"You can't wear that!" I say laughing.
"Why not? This is my best suit!" I laugh harder.
"I'm sorry. You can't wear THAT to the BIGGEST party there is." I say standing up and examining the suit closer. "Nope. I'm getting Cinna. I'm sure he can make a suit by tomorrow."
I walk from my room and down the hall. I look on all the doors for Cinna's name. I find it and I knock, he doesn't answer. I go knocking on doors and asking if they know where Cinna is. Everyone I ask says he went in Portia's room. I get to Portia's room and knock on her door. She doesn't answer. I push open the door to see something I shouldn't have seen.
"Oh my god! Effie! GET OUT!" Portia screams at me. I slam the door closed and just stand in the hallway.
"Um...Cinna! When you're....done....can you help me make a suit for Haymitch?! Just come to my room when you're ready!" I yell hoping Cinna will hear.
I walk back to my room and see Haymitch is still there. I sit next to him and scoot very close.
"Was he with Portia?"
"Yes."
"Were they hav-"
"I dont want to talk about it." I say cutting him off.
"Oh. Well okay then. Did he say he would make me a suit?"
"I think he was a little busy." Haymitch just laughs. I just smile and shake my head slightly.
Someone knocks at the door. I get up and answer it. Its Cinna, hopefully here to work on the suit.
"Effie. I'm sorry about that."
"Its fine. I never knew you and Portia were a couple."
"Oh, we aren't. Just friends with benefits."
"Oh..." Haymitch stands to leave. "Sit down. We need your measurements." Haymitch rolls his eyes and plops back down.
I get Haymitch's measurements and Cinna and I both start coming up with ideas for this outrageous outfit. We put down all our ideas and draw a sketch of what it should look like. Cinna sews while I watch and eventually fall asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
We're in the Capitol. I wake with a splitting headache and I dont think I'm ready for today. A whole 72 hours at a party I dont even want to go to. Yes, this is all for Peeta and Katniss but I'm pretty sure they don't want to go either. I go to my closet and pick out the most outrageous outfit I can find. My purple dress covered with purple feathers. It has a back to attach but I'm not sure if I want to wear it, its heavy but it would take a lot of attention away from my stomach.
