Her hands fluttered quickly on the control panel, her eyes darting just as fast. She was alone in the world, just the way she liked it. Just the way she needed it. Foxface, as everybody calls her, has one thing in mind: survive. That's all she needed to do to win. No distractions, especially not the other tributes, but two seem to catch her attention. The district one tribute, Marvel, and the district twelve tribute, Katniss. She caught herself thinking of the abomination that is them and shook the two out of her mind. Her hands seem to stop and she felt a little tensed. "Are you alright, kid?" The trainer asked, but he didn't seem one bit concerned for her at all. Foxface stopped the program and went to sit on one of the benches.
She sighed to herself and dug her face into her hands. What am I going to do? she thought, It's bad enough that I have to fancy district one, but why her? She looked around and searched for Katniss,the girl who was on fire. Marvel appeared in the corner of her eye and she gave a loud, but unnoticable, sigh. She dug her face into her hands again. After a few minutes of this position in silence, something started moving on her right. She openeed her eyes and was surprised to see who it was. "Katniss," her body tensed up. "Hey there, Foxface," the way she said it, it sounded like it was her actual name more than a tease, "feeling a little down there?" She couldn't understand why Katniss was being so nice to her, one would probably kill the other, if they both last that long. Although, that's just the thing about Katniss, Foxface has that gut feeling that she'll win.
She looked away, hiding her flushed face. "You're red, are you okay? Are you sick?" Why are you so nice to me? Katniss held her shoulder and she felt a shiver down her spine. "Hey, Foxface, there's something I wanna tell you." Katniss whispered, like she was trying to hide from everybody. Foxface turned to see what Katniss looked like now and suddenly felt something soft on her lips, Katniss's. The taste of something like cherry spread throughout Foxface's mouth.
She stood up in a fluster of red and stormed out of the training center, even though it's against the rules. She could hear Katniss call out, but she won't stop and turn around. She needs to get away from her. Foxface could hear footsteps behind her. Instead of running away she turned around to confront her follower and was caught completely off guard. "Marvel." she said, still all flustered and red. "Hey, Fox, what'd Katniss do to you? You're all red." She took a deep breath and got herself together. "Nothing. I'm alright. Katniss didn't do anything. I'm just tired, that's all."
He walked towards her and took her hand, "W-what do you think you're-" "I'm bringing you to your floor. You're heating up." He half dragged half pulled her towards the elevator and pushed level 5. He walked her to her room and just stood there, like a drone waiting for a command. She turned around to look at the guy and he suddenly kissed her, just like what Katniss did, then he pulled away quickly. "You taste like cherry, too bad Katniss got you ahead of me." He winked. Foxface could feel herself turn red again. She just smiled at the thought of both Katniss and Marvel and closed the door gently.
She jumped onto her bed, dug her face deep into her pillow and screamed the loudest scream humanly possible. She spread her body over her bed, hot and sweating. She tried collecting herself but couldn't stop bringing hers lips to a smile. She couldn't believe that both Katniss and Marvel just kissed her on the same day, under ten minutes, no less. But then, since Marvel saw what Katniss did to her, did anyone else see? And what about Marvel himself? What will she do with both of them? She didn't care.
She held her pillow onto her face again and couldn't wait on what tomorrow would bring.
