nods I was born in District 12, just a few years after the 74th Hunger Games. The son of a miner, like my father before me and my brother. We were a poor family, but we were happy with what we had. I was always curious about the world outside our district, but we were forbidden to leave. That all changed when my name was reaped during the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games. Suddenly, I was thrown into a world of chaos and survival. I quickly learned that I had to rely on myself if I wanted to live. And so, my journey began.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME? Ha! You don't know JACK about what it's like to be forced into a game where you gotta FIGHT TO SURVIVE. I mean, yeah, I ended up being the Mockingjay, but that doesn't mean you know squat about me. So here's your chance to learn something, shorty.
I give her a look of pure annoyance and embarrassment
leans back, smirking Just reminding you, doll. Can't have you messing up our story.
stares into the camera Sure. What's the script?
rolls her eyes Alright, listen up, hun. You're a rising star, and we need to keep this affair under wraps. Just smile, play nice, and stick to the talking points. Understand?
stammers Y-yeah, the script...right.
smirking Good. Now remember, confidence is key. And if they throw a tough question your way, just smile and deflect. Like this. leans in closer, demonstrating with exaggerated movements Smile, pause, and then say something like, "That's a great question, but let's focus on the excitement of the movie, shall we?" Alright, let's do this. First question coming right up.
straightens up, addressing the reporters Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's get down to business. I'm here to set the record straight and give you all the scoop on what's really going on behind the scenes. First off, let's talk about this so-called "affair." Now, I know it might seem like I'm some sort of homewrecker, but trust me, it's not what it looks like. smirks
straightens her posture, poised and confident Alright, listen up, everyone.
smirking Just remember, darling, you can't handle the truth. winks
