Esme's POV

Today is the day of the interviews, to be viewed by everyone in the capitol and all districts. This is extremely important, this is where I am to gain popularity and hopefully sponsors. Most of the day went by quite quickly and it was 8 pm. The interviews had already started. Me and haymitch were last because it went in descending order.

Octivus thought we shouldmatch again in blue, to make us look calming and peaceful. I was wearing a baby blue dress with silver wings that came from my shoulders down to my rib cage. My hair was in two skull plays which crossed over on the back of my head.

Haymitch was yet again slightly late but still made it on time. He had his dirty blonde hair slicked back with a loose strand in front of his right eye. He wore a casual baby blue blazer and trousers. He had a tight white shirt with a matching handkerchief in his upper blazer pocket.

"Well don't you look beautiful." - Haymitch

He places his arm around my waist and kisses me softly trying not to ruin my simple makeup. We not break apart and grin before I was escorted on stage.

ESME'S INTERVIEW

"Now, time for the girl who captured the heart of a young boy. It is Esme Grace Sullivan from District 12!" - Ceaser

He extends his arm out as the crown roars, I enter the stage with a bright smile on my face waving towards the crowd. Me and ceaser sit down in the red velvet chairs as the crowd quites down.

"Good evening Esme." - ceaser

"Good evening to you too Ceaser, and to everyone watching." - Esme

"Esme, me and...we'll everyone else are dying to know; What is going on between you and Haymitch?" - Ceaser

I look down and blush as the rest look eager for my response.

"Well Ceaser, me and Haymitch are dating." - Esme

The crowd gasps and applaud.

"Wait really? Please tell us, how did all go this come about?" - Ceaser

"Me and haymitch have had a thing ever since he helped my sister, Abigail. He built her a prosthetic leg since she had an accident not that long ago. And ever since then, we have just liked each other." - Esme

Everyone awes and smiles widely.

"Your sister, Abigail, she was the one in the reaping, trying to break through the guards to see you." - Ceaser
