Romani caught in an arena.

Chapter 10.

When a new day comes, a new task come too. Today's task? My interview. Everyone has their interviews today, and this means, tomorrow, we will be in the arena. Tomorrow, the games begin and everyone will be fighting for the winners place. 

So, the plan for today, is to spend it attempting to walk, and talk, like a an amazing person. I know, right? Who the hell needs to spend a day doing that? I mean, I could be spending it doing extra training, or gaining some sleep, but no, I have to spend my time, learning these, manners. They're not manners, the capitol are simply turning us into artificial pieces for one night, to make them seem amazing. I, also, have to work on a personality for myself. That's right, a personality. Seriously, we're being made to spend a day learning to talk. walk, and create a personality. A whole day of that. It's going to be oh so amazing. We finish at around 4 as the prep team needs to prepare us for the interviews. The interviews are at seven, that means they get at least 2 and a half hours to fix us, and make us look pretty. Pretty is what they aim for. It's another thing we use to get sponsors. So far it's skills, scores and looks. Oh, and personalities. Lets not forget personalities

"Okay, Romani, what do you want to be?" Blair popped up with. What was he talking about? Sometimes, he really doesn't make sense.

"What do you mean, what do I want to be?" I repeated. What exactly was he on about? I can't be anything else but me. I'm me. Romani Walters. That is me. Surely he knew that, right?

Well, what's the personality you want? I think something with attitude, you always have that" Just,brilliant. On the plus side, at I know what he was talking about. On the low side, well, he wants me to keep my attitude. I hate that I have this attitude, everyone always gets the wrong side of it, and me. Everyone then thinks of me but nothing as trouble. I don't know, maybe that sounds like a good idea for these games, trouble.

"Ha ha, very funny. Yes, so I have attitude, but I think that might be a good thing in these games. Think about it, everything needs a bit of trouble, right? I could be that trouble." Hopefully, I might actually get to be a bit, feisty in these games. Something I know I will be good at.

"Lets not use the word attitude as a personality then, lets use, fiery. Or maybe feisty. One of those maybe, definitely. Actually, feisty is much better. More, feminine.  Yes, you're going to be feisty. You need to use that attitude of yours. Also, use sarcasm when answering any questions. This will make the crowd love you, and laugh. Laughter is always good. Shows that the crowd actually likes you. Shows that they're listening to your words. That's always something good." Okay, so this is something I can do. At least, I can make people like me. I have some sort of game now. This could be brilliant.

We carried on talking about how I could act in front of people during the interview. I actually felt a bit confident about it to be perfectly honest. I could be myself. Everyone's always telling me that I have an attitude. At least in this case, I can use it to my advantage. We kept talking for around an hour it must have been. It was quite easy as we already knew the personality I would have, it was just basic tactics we talked about. Time was nearly up, and then he told me I would have to visit Casanadia for her to prepare me for tonight. It's in around 3 hours. I think I might go and get some food first, I need it. Tomorrow, I'll be in the arena, and with hardly any food most probably. I'll have to watch how much I eat, and I want to able to gorge on food today, while I can.

****Later that day****

"Why hello there. Romani. Wonderful to see you! I can't wait until you see what I've made for tonight! Ahh, it's taken me so long! I never really knew what I was going to do, but it had to be colorful, and this is perfectly colorful! Now, just one thing, what did you and Blair agree your personality would be?" Casanada seems more intellectual this time, than the last time I met her. She's definitely more, chirpy today. I guess it must be the excitement getting to her.
