The Capital Games (a writer games)

Interview

Bathroom

[12|9|12 12;30]

I stared in the mirror at my quickly blueing bruise. I frown, literally on the verge of tears.

I had always prided myself on being the type of girl who just didn't care what anyone thought.

But the truth was there was one person I wanted approval from more than anything in the world.

My father.

He had taught me feelings were weakness, and I'd believed him.

He told me never to care about anyone but myself, and I don't- well except for him.

He told me power was everything, and I'd gotten it.

I guess I had hoped that if I did this, he would love me, he would stop hurting me.

He will stop, I'll make him see, I'll do anything, I owe him. He didn't abandon me like mom.

I take the foundation out of my pocket and begin to apply it heavily.

I heard the door open behind me, I freeze as I see Sky enter.

I wonder if it's too late to make a break for it, it is, she smiles and walked over to the sink next to mine and begins touching up her makeup.

After a deadly silent minute she turns to face me, "What happened to your head?" she asked concerned

"What do you mean?" I asked panicking

"I mean it looks like someone hit you!!!" She exclaimed

"Hardy har har." I say flatly "I'm dying my skin black. Duh."

Oh crap, what had I just said?

"Black?"

"Yep, it's all in style!!!" I lie hoping I don't have to go through with this to keep my secret.

"So your dying your skin black in a public bathroom?"

"Yep."

"Is that even legal?!"

"You betcha!!!! Do you want to dye your skin with me?" I asked banking on her saying no and leaving

She looks at me like she doesn't believe one word of it. "Yes."

CRAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!

"Peachy." I snicker nervously "Juuussst peachy."

I hand her my foundation.

"This is regular foundation, Ravea....."

"No, actually it's like that glue that is purple when you apply it, but as it dries it turns it dries it turns white. Only this foundation turns black!!!" I grin horrified

"Just tell me why you have a bruise on your face." she growled

"Fine, I fell down the stairs." I growl

"Good." She said buying my lie "So what did you think of the training sessions?"

"They weren't the best lot of tributes I've seen." I said "But then again, they're from the capital, most haven't worked a day in their life."

"Yes it's not like this where I'm from." Sky said staring into mirror

"Where ARE you from?" I ask

"A land far away, rather uncivilized. You have to do backbreaking work to survive. My parents left me when I was young, they just disappeared one day, probably killed. I wondered for a many years till I finally found my way here....."

"Nice." I say, the conversation making me incredibly uncomfortable. "So interviews are tonight!!!"

"Yeah, it's really exciting...." She smiled packing her makeup bag and exiting the room, leaving me staring at my reflection.
