The Hunger Games {Hiccstrid} {Completed}

A couple of days later...

Astrid

Today is the day that we are doing our interviews. I am extremely excited since tomorrow is our last day before we go into the games. I know you probably think it is stupid to be excited to go into the games, but I heard a rumour that there is going to be a bow and some arrows in there which I can swipe away from everyone else. But the nice thing is, that boy from district 4 has taught me a couple of more little things on what to do with the axe and well... I think it's kind of sweet.

"Are you ready for tonight?" Matthew asked and I turned around and smiled widely.

"Definitely." I said and he smiles widely back. I am actually happy that he is here. I don't have a crush on him or anything, it's just great to have someone supporting me like back home. "So, do you reckon your sister will be proud to see you tonight?" Haymish says walking in and I sighed sadly. Elissa... I haven't seen her in 3 days... I forgot about that...

"Yeah, hopefully she will recognise me up there." I said and the two boys chuckle.

"She Definetly will, espcially with the dress that you will be wearing." Effie said smiling as she walks in all dressed up, ready for the interviews and I keep smiling. I guess she is right, tonight is going to be a fun evening, then tomorrow we are getting rated, I am going to use my strongest weapon use. My bow and arrows.

"So what are you going to do for the test tomorrow?" Haymitch asked us and I look at Matthew.

"I don't know yet, I am still thinking," He shrugged and Haymitch then turned to me.

"I am doing my advantage." I said.

"And what would that be?" He smirked widely and I look at Matthew who nods.

"Bow and arrows, I hunt in my district," I stated and he just burst into laughter. "Then why didn't you use it in training?" He asked and I cross my arms.

"I'm not dumb, I know that they would just go for the bows and kill me first. I do know some knowledge." I said and he nods. "You do impress me sometimes, Hofferson." He said and I smile widely.

"Thanks, but I should be going down to my stylist to get ready for this interview." I said before walking away from them towards the elevator and Effie walks over to me quickly before I press the button. "Just remember, everyone will be watching you tonight. Be as perfect as possible." She whispered into my ear and I look to her before I give her a simple nod.

"Alright then," I said while pressing the button and I see the elevator quickly coming up from the ground level and I sighed. If I do go home, I can live a luxury, my family and I will never starve again. But of course I would still hunt in the forest. Espcially in winter, the snow is soft on my boots, leaving footsteps behind and I watch the snowflakes fall into the white pillow. It's perfect.

As the elevator opened, I got into it and I waved to Effie before it closed and it went down one by one until it stopped at level 4. Level 4? Why would it stop at level 4? I guess I will find out... As the elevator opens, it reveals the boy and I start to scratch my arm in embarrassment. "Hi," He said smiling and I return the smile before he stands beside me and I see that he was about to hit my floor.

"Were you going towards my floor?" I asked and he chuckled.

"Maybe," He said looking at me and I keep smiling.

"Did you miss me or something?" I asked and he chuckled again.

"Maybe." He said as my floor opens and I walk out of it, but noticed that he was coming out with me. "Uh, why are you following me?" I asked and he scratches his neck awkwardly.
