The 34th hunger games

chapter 10

As someone does my eyes,another person is doing my lips.When I'm done being a stiff practice dummy,I get to model around in my outfit.

My shoes are 2 inch,not so bad,and like my dress,are navy blue bedazzled in silver jewels.

Beautiful.

my eye shadow is a dark purple with hints of silver strips. like a tiger. like a purple tiger. I smile at myself at the thought of a purple tiger. my lip-stick is a cross of red and blue, like a deep purple. but also,red is in there. so like a maroon. Works with my makeup, just barely.

And my hair is braided in a ponytail. two different parts of my hair in the front, parted and braided and pulled into a ponytail.

pretty.

I was pushed in a elevator and it shot up immediately.

Rosely is in there with me."sorry bout that.they can be harsh." she says helping me up.

well, after this they are sending us to a arena where we will fight to the death, so yeah they can be harsh. I think. but don't say it.we keep going for a few floors til we stop again.

and Hugo stands there, staring at me. And I'm staring at him. he wears a blue tux with the shoulders bedazzled with silver jewels. like me.

At the bottom of his pants,(his ankles) is green, to symbolize grass. like my dress.

And his shoes are the same as mine, except the heels...

"what's up with all the jewels?" Hugo asks us.

"well, its pretty!" Rosely says, gesturing to us.

"she's got a point there." I mumble.

we get to the stage where all the tributes stand there, making small talk with there district partners.

"we good on the plan?" I ask Hugo looking over at him.

"kind of." he says bending down so I can tell him in his ear. I carefully and quietly whispered the plan in his ear.

"oh yeah! that plan!" he says cheerfully. I nudge his arm and point at Cesar who is waving to the audience. "we should watch." I tell him. he shuts up and watches.

Cesar makes a joke and they laugh. Then the pair from district One go up there. they talk about how their the careers and their skills.

Next comes the pair from district two go up there. they talk about the same thing.

district 3 is different though. the girl is still gone, so Wiley does all the talking.

He talks about how smart he is. doesn't even mention once about her. weird.

Then district 4 is called. great.

We walk up there silently. the croud goes crazy about our outfits.

"so, tell me, what was the purpose of your outfits at the opening ceremony?" Cesar asks us.

" to be pretty." says hugo. the croud laughs. I lightly punch his arm and say," the purpose was that we dont need to be fake to be strong." I say to Cesar.

"ahhhh, I like that." he says.

"me too." me and Hugo say at the same time. weird. we look at each other.

"so, do you to have any siblings?" Cesar asks us.

"yes." we respond at the same time. we look at each other again and smile.

"Hugo, who are your siblings?" Cesar ass him."please don't answer at the same time, cause this is confusing me." Cesar says cheerfully, suppressing a smile. I laugh and Hugo kind of looks at him weird.

"I have a little sister named Caya, and an older brother named Matthew." Hugo says wincing and pausing at their names.

"and you?" he asks me.

"well, I have a little brother named Harry."  I say straight to get the words out quickly.

Please tell me you guys have families." he says, hints and slits of sadness leaking in his voice.

" I'm an orphan. my mother died at birth with Caya, and my father died at the docks 4 years later. so my family is very small." Hugo says not looking at anyone in particular.

" that's unfortunate." Cesar responds."and you?" he points his gaze at me.

"my mother has been slowly dying for months, not telling us and recently, my father had an accident at the docks. so my family is sorta small too." I say to Hugo and Cesar.

"I'm sorry." Cesar says.

"what are your skills?" he asks us, even though they already know. since they stick they cameras in the training center.

"well, we're good with both spears and tridents, coming from district 4," Hugo starts"and im good with knives." I Finnish.

"well, how good?" he asks waving at someone back stage.

"I can knock your socks off." I say smiling. Hugo is smiling too.

"well, wanna show us?" he asks.

"sure, by to do need knives." I say sassy.

"gotcha covered."Cesar responds, and someone comes in with a box of knives, organized perfectly. I pick up one and stand up. trying not to rip up the dress. im about to throw it when I can't because of the sleeves. so I cut the dress, so I can move my arm enough to throw. then out of nowhere I just rip it up. and when I'm done, it looks like I'm a pretty zombie.

and then i throw.
