The Hunger Games - Careers First Love

First Love Twleve

We had a day to recover from the games before the interview tonight when i was taken from my floor by peace keepers. I was scared because i didn't know where i was going or anything. they open two doors and i went in they shut behind me and looked around.

"Good Afternoon Miss Ryder" i spun round to face the president.

"President Snow" he nodded

"please come in, can i offer you anything to drink maybe some tea" i didn't want to be rude so i nodded

"please sit." I did so he poured some tea and handed it to me i took a sip.

"Sir i don't want to sound rude but why am i here?" i wondered

"I was led to believe you wanted to say something in person to me" i thought about his meaning when i remembered.

"oh thank you. I'm sorry i forgot i wanted to thank you for letting my father move districts." he gave a hint of a smile

"that is quite alright Miss Ryder, when your father appealed to me i saw his desperation. It only seemed right given the circumstances and his determination i grant him clemency" i nodded

"i also wanted to apologise" i added taking another sip.

"whatever for?"

"I was thinking about our act in the arena. And when i was told how it looked it didn't settle with me. The way our mentors described it sounded like we were being defiant and i didn't want to come that way, its the opposite actually. We were going to let the ones from 12 die and not even swallow but i guess they had the same idea. I wanted to know that i was sorry even though i did it out of love for Cato i mean Mr Valentin" i calmly rambled. He put his cup down and faced me properly.

"Did you know that there are camera all over the Capitol for the people's safety." he asked I didn't see the point but i nodded anyway.

"follow me" he went over to his desk and played something infact it was a clip of me and Cato before the games.

"i watch it from time to time. It is well known some tributes go up there, sometimes it is used to plan strategies and secret alliances. i like to know what tributes get up to. So it was more than a surprise when i see you and Mr Valentin together, just talking and other stuff" i blush.

"If this was show to anyone they would know that was true love, what you did and the way you feel to Mr Valentin is true love unlike the other two victors. I know that Mr Mellark has feeling but Miss Everdeen does not and is the defiant one. So Miss Ryder i do not take your actions to heart because i know you would have rather died than be without Mr Valentin ." I was in shock he didn't blame me or Cato.

"So what happens now?" i wondered

"what would you like to happen Miss Ryder"

"i don't know what if any options are laid in front of me." he smiled a little.

"Well you could go home and continue on with your life or if there were exceptional circumstances there might me an alternative"

"exceptional circumstances?" i asked, the door opened

"it seems your prep team and stylist await. Goodbye Miss Ryder." i was dismissed and left feeling confused. what could be exceptional circumstances. I was taken to JJ who gave me the biggest bear hug you could possibly imagine.

"oh look at you, you looks so pale don't you worry we'll have you beautiful for your prince in no time"

"where is Cato" i asked
