Then There Were Five

Chapter 7

Louis 

Let's just say, I've never truly seen Addy before this.

Wow-oh-wow.  She lied to me. She was DEFINITELY not dressed like a farmer girl.  She had on a green dressed, that looked like leaves were sticking out.  Normally, I'm not for the whole "Let's get all natural" look, but with Addy, that's all she needed.  Not that she wasn't beautiful to begin with.  Just now, she just looks...WOW

I felt a nudge on my side. I looked over at Marie.

"What?"

"You need to focus," she whispered. "You look dazed. Are you falling for someone?" She egged on.

"No," I scoffed. Lie. I was completely falling for someone...Addy.

"Liar!" she laughed. "You like.....her!"

She pointed at the girl from District 1.

"Um, most definitely not!" I said. "Besides, she looks more interested in her male counterpart anyway!" 

"I bet you he's just using her because he know they're both gonna die," she smirked.

I folded my arms over my chest. "How much?"

"Oh no, no monetary value.  One of us is gonna die, so let's speed up the process. If either of us find out that Harry's just using her, then we have to give up our best weapon."

This girl was good. "Oh, you're on!" we shook hands and turned back to face the crowd.  I put on my best smile, giving just the right amount of sass and arrogance to make the crowd go wild.

"So.." Marie started. "What about...her!"

She pointed at Addy.  I gulped.  I hope she didn't catch it.

"Oh, girl!"

Yep, she caught it.

"You're in love with "mother nature" girl!" she said with a laugh.  I blushed ferociously. When she finally died down, she added a thought. "I can't say I blame you.  She IS really pretty."

"I know," I whisper.

For the rest of the chariots, I just kept my eyes faced toward Addy.  I had to get to her. I didn't care how, just that I needed her.

Harry

Seleen looked amazing with her dress on.  As the chariot picked up speed, her hair flew back wildly, and, it kind of turned me on.

Harry, stop it! I thought to myself. You can't get caught up like this.  Its a crazy move!

I looked around the area, trying to take a good look at the other girls--I mean, the other competitors.  They all looked so different it wasn't even funny.  I took a good look at that one kid from District 11. Wow....

 'HARRY WHAT THEY HELL! HE'S A BOY, YOU'RE A BOY! NO! ABBSOLUTELY NOT!!'

I don't even know where that even came from.  No, I must have been thinking about the girl. She was pretty.  NOt as pretty as Seleen, but still. Mixed emotions...I hate those.

I looked over at Seleen, who was just smiling.  Either she was living in the moment, or she was a good actor.  I'd have to ask, maybe.  If I can keep my head clear enough to think properly.

 I shook the crazy thought off and concentrated on the parade itself.  I glanced back over the other competitors.  One girl caught my eye.  It was the girl from District three.

 Wow, she looked beautiful.  Her hair was in a delicate braid, and she had what looked like leaves on.  I must say, she looked pretty hot. As soon as this crazy parade was over, I had to find her.

And make her mine.
