Whenever I go backstage of the place where I get interviewed, my mentors are there to greet me and dress me like last time. They're so excited, with them just talking to each other with ideas for a costume. Before I know it, I'm in a sky blue dress.
"May I present to you, Thorburn Chelowech!" I hear Julius us say, which is my que to go over there. The crowd of 300 people roar in applause and cheering. Julius eventually gets to settle them down. Before wrk talk, we get to see the recap of my Games. Most of the deaths there are horribly gross, and I see the careers get flattened by that weird beast. They put my kills in there too, like how I threw that spear at Muscida's child.
"So," Julius says, "lets get to the questions. Why did you have a hatred for the boy from 4. I forgot his name.... what was it?" The crowd quietly laughs.
"Well, its because he was kind of a jerk during training, making fun of the tributes including me, Beckham, Jessica, etc." It seemed like a valid answer to Julius. Its also because they get to do so much training, unlike the other non-career districts, giving districts 1,2, and 4 a clear advantage. I see see a compilation of that career from the tribute parade, his death again, him killing Jessica, etc.
"Did you have a relationship wth your district partner in any way?" Julius says.
"No, not really," I say. I can tell that he's a bit surprised by that.
"And why is that?" He says in curiosity.
"I tried to avoid him so if he died, I would'nt be affected by his death. Obviously, I eventually became friends with other tributes," I say.
"That explains it", he says. The timer rings after three minuets. "Well, ladies and gentleman, the victor of the 40th Hunger Games, Thorburn Chelowech from District 5!" The crowd then roars in cheering once again. Im then sent to yet another train. There finally sending me home, back to my home district. I already know how it will go, with my family be so incredibly happy for me, and the district will have a huge celebration.
