I prepared myself to walk into the medium sized room full of mentors. I know that I come across as a pretty fearless person but when it comes to meeting and actually talking to new people, I get extremely anxious. Haymitch stood by my side as Effie went around everybody in the room and greeted them.
"Haymitch!" a man, who looked about the same age as Haymitch, shouted, "long time no see buddy, how're ya doing?"
"haha! Chaff my buddy! Good to see you again!" haymitch laughed as he approached the man and gave him a hug
"And who's this? Your new girlfriend?" Chaff asked as I gave him a strange look, "I'm kidding of course! But Haymitch does like the younger women" he winked at Haymitch, "It's nice to meet you Renae Hawthorne. I'm Chaff, Haymitch's drinking buddy"
"Ahh, the infamous Chaff! I was wondering how long it would be until I actually met you" I laughed
Haymitch took me around the table and introduced me to all the other mentors. Everyone was extremely nice and very glamourous! I returned back to my seat, with Haymitch to my left and an empty seat to my right.
I came out of my comfort zone a little bit and started talking to a few mentors around me, one of them being Cashmere from district 1. She was very beautiful with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a light pink dress.
"You know, i've been wondering how long it would take for me to meet you!" Cashmere said to me
"Aw really? Why's that"
"Because you're literally on the cover of nearly every Capitol fashion and reality magazine every week! And if youre not on the cover, there's something about you inside" She laughed, "I often find myself in photoshoots and the photographer saying, "I wonder if this is good enough to beat Renae Hawthorne to the cover page!"
"Really?!" I said in surprise
"Yeah! Don't you read the magazines?"
"No I don't. I'm not really interested in all that stuff. I read a few of course but I never realised how many of them that I'm featured in" I laughed
"You're in a lot of them! You're extremely popular over here!" Cashmere smiled, "one of my friend's daughters who lives in the capitol keeps asking me if i've met you! She and her friends love you!"
"Aw that's so sweet!" I smiled,
"They love you over here!"
"Well all the districts hate me so at least that's something" I replied
"You should make more public appearances, like to fashion shows or award ceremony's! It would be so good for your publicity and its a great way to earn more money" Cashmere said, ignoring me previous comment
The door to the room we were in creaked open as a familiar and angelic face stepped in. "Sorry I'm late everyone" he spoke
"Yeah I'll think about it" I replied to Cashmere dryly as the face of the latecomer overwhelmed me. He looked around the table and finally seen the spare seat next to me. He stopped for a few seconds before a smirk appeared on his face.
"Are you stalking me, miss Hawthorne?" He smirked as he sat down next to me
"I was here before you, Finnick. So I believe you're the one stalking me" I replied
