Chapter 3

Hawthorne, I think of Elizabeth her full name is Elizabeth Finnick Hawthorne. So I ask "are you related to Elizabeth Hawthorne?"

He replies "yes, I am her father" wow, that is all I can think, this is the first time I am meeting my best friends dad, and she's not even here.

"is that why you're my mentor?" I ask.

"yes of course, I was so grateful when you volunteered that I begged to be your mentor."

"well, I wouldn't get too attached to me because right now, there is a one in twenty four chance that I will live to be seventeen"

"I'm sured not attached to that Ronald kid he is evil"

"I know right, he made my ear bleed and he got mad at me for being late, I mean really mad, he screamed in my ear and now it won't stop ringing"

"you should get into a fancy dress because Effie's coming for a cabin/outfit check and she's really picky"

"okay."

I go into my room and see Kira, "why are you here?" I ask.

"well, I thought you'd have prettier clothes" she says as her cheeks turn red, I can tell that she's lying.

"really Kira, why?"

"well my mentor is a little crazy, actually a lot crazy he got Harry Moines the guy from my group to put handcuffs on him and he's started to like shake and then he tried to attack me and only Harry could stop him, then suddenly, just like that, he was normal, then he told me to stay with you and Harry to stay there just in case."

"well then my mentor can mentor you because Ronald is evil and he refuses to mentor him, but what was your mentors name?"

"Peeta Mellark, why?"

oh, that must be why he has those red marks on his wrists, next time I see him I'll make sure to tell him I know what 'secret' means "oh, I was just wondering." I lie.

"but you have to go meet our mentor gale while I change"

"ok" she leaves.

I hear "who the heck are you" then Kira explains. I decide to get dressed, I find a satin ruffled orange dress that splits at the my legs so that it only covers one and the sleeve isn't really a sleeve, it's more like a ruffle that slings over my shoulder like a bag of arrows, after that, I find the only pair of orange heels, they are sparkly with eight inch heels so they are stilettos and they each have little orange bows in the front.

Now I look for jewelry, I find a diamond encrusted orange necklace and a matching bracelet next I put my hair in two braids and turn that in to a bun and brush my teeth super good. Now all I need is makeup, I put on gold eyeliner and gold eyeshadow to match my naturally gold hair along with sparkly peachy colored blush and blood red lipstick.

I go out and tell Kira to get ready so she goes in and I sit down on a big red sofa to wait for her. After about twenty minutes she comes out wearing practically the same jewelry and clothing as me except they are purple, her lipstick and blush are the same, but her eyeliner and eyeshadow are plum colored, I know because before I left, I used to eat them all the time.

The purple looks perfect with her orange hair, wait, orange hair, district five is power, intelligence like her mom, her mom is foxface and finding the most important things like her dad, oh, my, god, her dad was the boy who tried to get the backpack, my mom killed her dad! "I'm so sorry!" I yell then run into the cabin to sit on the bed.
