Glimmer's pov

"Soon, there will be an interview. Remember to show yourself from the best side." Cashmere said.
I put huge portion of beef on my plate. Food here is very good.
"You eat a lot for someone your weight." Marvel spotted.
"That's just how I am." I laughed.
Little does he know what I will do next.

...

I felt relieved after leaving the dining room. I had half hour to meeting with my stylist before the interview.
I quickly went to the bathroom, forgetting to lock the door. I threw up all the food to the toilet, just like I used to through years. This is the price I have to pay to be pretty but I rather if people don't know about it.
The toilet was very dirty. I then noticed someone behind me. It was an Avox, she did her best not to look worried. She gave a glass of water then started cleaning the toilet.
I felt weird, it was the first time when someone caught me doing this. I mean, my mum suspected me of doing that and she was very mad. But the Avox didn't. I wonder how did she get here. Is it possible that..?
I went outside my room and spotted Marvel.
"Did you sent the Avox to my room?" I asked.
"I thought that you would need a glass of water after throwing up." He stated.
"How do you know?" I asked more aggressively than I planned to.
"I noticed you doing it on the train."
"You were spying on me?"
"I wouldn't put it that way."
Marvel got closer to me and put his one hand on my face, the second one on my wrist.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." He whispered.
He started touching my butt and I felt uncomfortable.
"Stop, please." I told him.
"Don't by shy Glimmer."
His lips touched mine and that's when I got to push him away.
"Marvel, stop this!" I yelled.
"Listen, Glimmer. You're a District 1 girl, you're job is to amuse others by your looks."
True, this is what our female tributes usually do.
"We keep you only because you bring sponsors." He then walked away.

I ran to my room and started crying on the bed. If I don't get the careers sponsors, they will kill me. I have to think a way of acting like they expect me to and get Marvel away from me. Then I had an idea.

Cato.

...

My stylist dressed me up in a light pink short dress. I couldn't care less about it, since it was least worry.
I was the first so I had not a lot of time to do what I wanted to. As everyone was waiting in a line I took Cato aside.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Can you pretend to be my lover?" I asked straightforward.
"What?" He seemed confused.
"Only on the arena, please. I'm scared of Marvel."
"Why? He isn't that strong."
"But he would use me as his sex toy whenever he wants to. He is scared of you, if we will be together he won't touch me."
I think Cato saw the fear in my eyes. I was so scared of getting abused again. I was desperately looking for safety.
"Alright, let's do it." He smiled.
"Thank you." I felt relieved and hugged him.
"Do you think Clove would mind?" I asked.
"I'll tell her about the details. She will understand when she hears the reason. Don't worry, no one will tell Marvel."

After talking with Cato I felt much more safe to act my role.

Ceaser introduced me to the crowd, that's when I put my mask on.

A mask of a shallow pretty girl from District 1.
