Clove's POV:
'AHHHHHHH!' I jolt up as the prep team wax my legs, leaving them raw and stinging.
Nearly done'!' Andromena, a mad looking green women, with yellow eyes, purple hair and blue lips squeaks. Harry, a Capitol man with crocodile print skin,nhighlights my eyes in green, and brushes pink powder onto my cheekbones, smearing a sticky pink lip gloss onto my lips, and grabbing a spike in his scaly hand.
'Now Clove, you need to be very brave.This is a tracker jacker sting. It'll hurt, but willmake your lips positively delectable!'
I move back in my chair, as Harry approaches.
' No no no no no no no' i whisper, but Andromadena grabs my arms, and Harry stabs it in and out of my lips, sending immediate pulses of searing pain through the nerves.
'OHMYGOD GO AWAY!!' I scream, I jumping out of the chair, and chasing them to the door, which is blocked by Cinna's thin frame.
'Off you go.' He says calmly to my prep team, who glance nervously at me, and scamper out.
He hugs me, and I hug back, before hitting him for letting them hurt me.
'Bloody Capitol' I mutter, making him chuckle softly.
'Shut up and close your eyes.' He replies, spinning me around. I do, and he slips a silky dress over my head. He unpins my hair, and holds it in place with hair spray. And then, I open my eyes.
'Oh my god, Cinna'. I whisper. The dress is floor length and strapless, and made out of tiny green leaves that sparkle in the light, and give the impression of falling leaves from a tree. My hair is seems darker than usual, and floats around my shoulders in a silky cascade, and tiny butterflies made of emeralds are emmbedded in it. My eyes sparkle with green sparkles, and my lips are plump and shiny.
'I chose the theme to show your innocence. Your purity.' He says. I look sideways.
'It shows my bump!' I giggle. Cinna grins, and flicks it.'
'Yes, it was deliberate. The audience will eat it up.' He laughs. I hug him again, just in time for the door to creak open.
Cato comes storming in, wearing all black, his hair professionally messed up. He stops dead when he sees me. I raise my eyebrows, and he swallows.
'You look beautiful.' He chokes, rubbing his neck withhold hand. I chuckle, and look him up and down.
'Hou don't look to bad yourself!'
'Cmon, you need to go.' Cinna ushurs U.S. Up stairs, where we stand in a line behind the other tributes, who stoically ignore each other. It's silent.
'I mean what I said you know. You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.' Cato leans over and whispers in my ear, so quiet that only I can hear, causing me to blush manically.
'So did I.' I whisper back, just in time, because a team of Capitol freaks lead us on stage, to the screams of the crowd.
Immediately, Glimmer comees up, her blonde hair cascading down her back, wearing a short purple dress, with gold spangles all over it. She makes a couple of jokes, annd awnsers some questions, gaining giggles and catcalls from the crowd, which she eats up, and winks at them, Ceaser very clearly getting very excited, and looking positively devastated when the timer rings, and the pretty girl has to go.
And then Marvel comes on. In his purple suit and a gold tie, his hair elegantly messy, it's clear to everyone that he is particularly beautiful.
Just not as beautiful as Cato,
He struts on stage, and winks at me as he passes, silently telling me that our game to make Cato jealous is still going on. I wish I could stand up and scream at him to stop. But I can't.
Strait away, a easer leaps to the subject of me.... Of course...
'Now, I've heard from several... Sources, that you've been getting close to a certain district 2 tribute, and I don't mean Cato...' He winks, as the crowd roars. Marvel grins, and turns round to smirk at me, my face burning.
'Well, I don't want to spoil any surprises Veaser, but I can say that Cato better watch out. She may be carrying his baby, but in 3 weeks or so, it'll be out, and then.... Well then there's nothing stopping her from falling for me like have for her.'
