♡  HERMES .

Talking to girls didn't make me nervous - neither did talking to guys. The only people I got nervous talking to were Peacekeepers. So why did I freeze up for a second over Arcadia of all people? Was it because of her name, specifically her last name? Was it her pretty face? Was it because I started to think I was in a bit over my head?

"Hey Arcadia, right? Where ya headed, princess?"

I told myself to just talk to her. We did match after all, even if it was a mistake on her end. Or maybe her standards were just that fucking low. I knew I wasn't ugly or anything. But shit, there were some hot dudes here. And most of them were careers. Isn't that how it was supposed to be? Careers living in their own little bubble and pretending the rest of us don't exist as we starve to death back home.

I wanted to ask her why she matched with me, but not yet. She was a princess. She seemed to think she was one, she acted like one, she looked like one. The last names Fray and Lumiere may as well be royalty in Panem. So I was going to play on that. It would get her interested in me and it would give the viewers something to watch.
