Interviews-Finchs POV
I wake up the next morning knowing today is the interviews.I order breakfast and eat in my room.I'm too nervous to face the others.Then,after about 2 minutes of deciding,I take a shower.After my shower,my prep team whisks me away to get ready for my interview.I don't talk all the time they're making me look pretty.Finally,it's time to go.I'm wearing a short,turquoise dress with my red hair pinned up in a updo.I patiently await my interview taking this time to look at the other tributes.Should I choose allies?No.I shouldn't get too close to the other tributes.That was the mistake Dove made.Got too close to the District 4 girl and one day she woke up to find all of the careers looming over her.After that,they made quick work of her with a knife and some matches.They killed her then burnt up her body.And I watched it all on live TV.No.No allies.Well,at least not with Districts 1,2 or 4.Maybe 3,6,7,8,9,10,11 or 12.But I must stay as far away from the others as possible.Make them forget me.Steal from others but don't take too much that they'll notice.But most of all stay hidden.Then,I heard my name called for interviews."Hello Finch."Ceaser greeted me."Hello."I answer."Do you have any particular strengths in the arena?"Ceaser asked."Well...i'm very good at camouflage.They can't kill me if they can't see me."I say logically."No.No they can't.So,two years ago I remember meeting a girl,looked alot like you.Her name was Dove Annley.Same last name as you.And she was from your District.Did you know her?"Ceaser questions me.I freeze for a couple seconds then regain myself."Yes.That was...that was my sister."I answer him sadly."Ah.Well that's all the time we have for today but I hope I speak for the rest of Panem when I say:I hope you don't end up where your sister is."Ceaser says wrapping up my interview session.I nod and give a wave to the audience before walking off the stage and hearing the voice call Adam up.I listened to the rest of the interviews,then we all got up.I quickly walked to the elevator and climbed in.I was next to the girl from District 12 and boy from District 2.The girl nodded sadly to me before the elevator stopped and the boy got off.Then it reached floor 5 and I got out leaving the girl behind.I walked right to my room and pulled my hair down before putting it back up in a ponytail.Then,I carefully climbed out of my dress and lay it on the end of my bed.I searched through the drawers and found some clothing.I walked down the steps and to the table for dinner.At this time tomorrow I will be fighting for my life.I ate in silence listening to the small talk started up by Adam.Then,when I was done I went upstairs and found some silk pajamas and slipped them on.I was so tired I fell asleep right when my head hit the pillow.But I was very nervous about tomorrow.I know i'm not coming back.Ceaser Flickermans words echo in my mind:I hope you don't end up where your sister is.I want to though.That's the problem...
