Ripped - Hunger Games Fan Fiction

Interviews - Chapter 10

"Emerald! The interviews are starting!" Julia's voice booms from downstairs.

"Coming," I say, probably not loud enough for Julia to hear.

Julia has stayed with me for the majority of the time Cato's been gone. She doesn't want me bored. Don't see why being bored would effect anything, but whatever, it's good having the company.

"Hurry up!" She yells.

"I SAID I'M COMING!" I say, and I'm sure she will hear me now.

I run down the stairs so she can hear me coming.

"Geez, no need to yell," She says and we both chuckle as I collapse on the couch.

"Shh," I say waving her away with my hand.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's give a warm welcome, to the beautiful Glimmer!" Ceaser announces into the microphone and the crowd erupts in cheers.

"Hello," He says, kissing her hand.

"Hello Ceaser, it's great to be here," She says tucking her dress under her but before she sits down.

"So tell me, are you prepared?" He asks, leaning back into his chair.

"I'm very prepared, I've been training my whole life for this and can't wait," She says, flashing a smile to the audience and they erupt in applause again.

"So you think you're the one to beat?" He asks, raising his eyebrows.

"Well, what I've seen of the others in training, most definitely," She says, and some cheesy tinkly laughter.

"That's great, so, one last thing, what do you have to say to all of the potential sponsors?" 

"Well, don't count me out, lots of people just look at me and think of me as a weak girl who can't fight, but don't count me out," She says.

"Well then, thank you," He says standing up. She follows suit and shakes his hand.

"Everybody, let's hear it for GLIMMER!" He projects his voice into the microphone.

She struts off the stage and I scoff.

"I hope you're the first one he kills," I mutter and Julia laughs,

"Calm down," She says in between laughing.

"Well, District 1 does have one other tribute, let's welcome Marvel!" He says, throwing his hadn to the side where he is entering.

"Woah, he's tall," Julia scoffs. Of course Julia notices his height, nothing else, first impression, oh he's tall. God Julia.

"Marvel, how are finding the capitol? Different to District 1?" 

"It has it's similarities, no-one dresses like everyone here, but it's similar in some ways," He nods.

"So it mustn't be that hard to fit in then?" He asks and they chuckle.

"Don't have a lot of 'fitting in' time," He points out.

"Right, you're a career, will you be joinging the alliance?" Ceaser asks and Marvel nods as soon as he hears the word career.

"I most definitely will be. I've alread met District 2's tributes and can assure you, there will be a very strong connectiong," He says

"Fair enough, well, all the best of luck for the games," He says standing up.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, MARVEL!" He says gesturing to marvel.

Marvel waves to the crowd and the go even more spastic then they were before he stood up.
