Wave ~ Hunger Games [1]

twelve

+ glitter +

I stood on the top of a platform, holding my arms out by my side as Calix sewed a few head back onto the back of my dress, the shimmering blue fabric falling down my legs as down the back in a train. The front was shorter than the front, revealing my stroppy sandals which were tied all the way up my calves. The dress had puffy sleeves, the upper body lacy like a fish net as I ran my fingers over it as I waited.

"Now just hold still" Calix said, as I pinned his needle into the pin cushion on his wrist, standing up as he ran his hands through my wavy hair which was flowing down my back, half of it done up in a twist with sea shells twisted into it. "The top looks like a fishing net" I said to him as i looked at myself in the large mirror which was in front of us, causing him to not his head. "That's the point, we are trying to say 'District 4, fishing' in nothing but your clothes and hair" Calix said, spraying something onto my hair as he set it down, walking round to the front of me as he stared at me.

He had put some make up on me, the side of my eyes covered in a green power which made me look a bit like a fish, the District 4 look really driving home with it. "What was that?" I asked as i pointed at the can he had sprayed on my hair, causing him to nod his head as he looked over me quickly. "Glitter to make your hair shine" he told me with a small chuckle, causing him to put his hands on my hair as he threw it back a little as it hit my back.

"Do this" he said, pouting his lips, telling me to copy him as i did so, thinking that i probably looked extremely stupid. He swiped some lipgloss over my lips as I ran my lips together as he took a step back, nodding his head at me as I looked at myself in the mirror. This was the first time that I didn't look like myself, but I still looked amazing thanks to Calix's handy work with my dress, hair and makeup. The easiest way to put it was that i looked like a Capitol citizen, but I could not imagine having to get ready like this every morning.

My blue grey eyes were striking against my tan complexion, my hair shining under the artificial lighting in this room due to the glitter he had sprayed into it, the pale blonde shimmering like the scales of a fish in sunlight.

"I look great, thank you Calix" I said to him as I smiled over at him, causing him to smile at me as he let out an exclamation really quickly, reaching into his pocket. "Finishing touch" he said to me as he pulled my bracket that Firth had made me out of his pocket, making me smile as I set my hand out, letting him slip it into my wrist as I looked down at it. "You hadn't taken it off since you got here, I thought you would want to keep it" he said to me as he took my hand, letting me step off of the platform as I nodded my head at him, spinning it around my wrist gently.

"I would, thank you for thinking about it" I said to him as he nodded his head at me, squeezing my hands gently as he smiled at me. "Now, you do everyone back home proud out there, I will be watching" he said to me as I nodded my head, shaking our hands a little bit as I smiled at him forcefully, knowing that he was routing for me already, which kind of gave me some reassurance. "I will" I told him with a smile as both of us made our way out of the dressing room, towards the living room where Ridley and his stylist would be meeting us before we made our way to the chariots.

"Who made you the bracelet?" Calix asked me quietly, or as quietly as possible for him as he held the door open for me, the Avox standing against the wall silently as we walked past them, kind of creeping me out a bit. "My boyfriend" I replied a small smile on my face as I lifted up the back of dress so I didn't trip over it turning to Calix who smiled over at me, rounding them corner towards the elevator. "How lovely" he replied as ai saw Ridley and Price, Ridley wearing a matching blue fabric to my dress draped over his body, looking as if it was floating.

He had a crown of fishing net string and seashells on top of his head, his hair slicked back slightly like falling waved, a matching necklace on as he smiled over at me. "Look at you" Price said to me, holding her hands out towards me as I took them, Price kissing each side of my face without touching me to a did the same, not knowing what else to do frankly. "Calix, you have put some yourself" Price said to the man who waved his hand at her, telling her to stop even though his face looked like he was soaking in the compliment.

"Hey" I said to Ridley, smiling at him softly as he smiled back at me, clearing this throat as he scratched his neck, Price looking nervously at him as if his whole outfit would fall off. "Nice dress" he said to me as I letting out a small breath, nodding my head as Price and Calix started a loud conversation next to us. "How about we get this over with, huh?" I asked him as he nodded his head at me, looking down at his feet as the elevator arrived, all of us piling into it, which was quite the squeeze, as we made our descent.
