Esme's POV
We both sat there on top of that hill talking for hours on ends until we decided we needed to get some sleep. I expected the capitol to be silent but it was really busy. We tried to keep our heads down, but we were still caught. Me and haymitch tried to ignore the paparazzi but a particular person asked me a question which made me stop in my tracks.
"What is your current relationship status? We herd rumours that Carl from District 1 asked you out!" - reporter
I turn to him as haymitch tries to pull me away. I smile innocently.
"He did, but I denied his request to accompany him on date. Because I was already on a one." - Esme
I hug haymitch tightly as he starts to play along. He kisses my forehead and looks directly into the camera and smiles. Knowing this will wind Carl up. We start to walk away as the reporters start to address everyone watching that me and haymitch are dating.
Time Skip
We got back to the apartment as we see Farren and Octivus glaring at us with straight faces.
"So, you decide to go against my rules. I said pretend! One of you, or both of you are going to die in a weeks time! So you can't have the fairytale ending you wanted." - Farren
DISTRICT 12
Adam's POV
Me, Abigail, and Adam were all staying up late to watch anything about Esme and Haymitch. We all suspect that Esme and Haymitch are dating or their trying to gain the media's attention for sponsors. All of a sudden, Ceasar appears talking about the 'district 12 star-crossed lovers'.
"Just now we spotted district 12 victors, Esme Grace Sullivan and Haymitch Abernathy, walking hand in hand through the capitol." - Ceasar
In the background it shows pictures of him and Esme kissing.
"The rumours are true people! It is true love, we have a romance in the games! The two of them were actually on a date today, but someone interrupted them two. Carl Turnbull from district 1 attempted to require Esme's affection. This is what she had to say." - Ceasar
The screen switched to Esme and haymitch late at night.
"He did, but I denied his request to accompany him on a date. Because I was already on one." - Esme
Then haymitch kisses her head!?
"Wow! Esme has a boyfriend!" - Daniel
"One of them are going to die, or both of them. So what's the point?" - Abigail
"Maybe they wanted to make the most of what time they have left." - Adam
