Stupid freaking shoe. Stupid Stupid Shoe. I sat on the ground looking at the heel that had come off of my new pair of shoes. The five inch spike was sitting a few inches away from the shiny pink matching sole. My shin and knee were starting to show the lines of brilliant red where I had fallen and scraped in on the hard grey cement. If I was in the Capitol this would never happen, I thought to myself as I looked around at my scattered belongings on the ground. My purse was hanging into the road and a few cosmetics were shattered, but my favorite thing of all was safe.

I grabbed my pink diamond flask and unscrewed the top taking a long swig. The berry flavored mixture stings so nicely as it flows down. I start to take off my shoes by unbuckling the straps and tossing them aside, adjusting my skirt I get on my knees and and start gathering my things with a sigh. My lower lip juts out in a pout when I see my favorite eye shadow is busted into a fine powder. "Damnit" I vent.

Victory was on one of her shopping trips were she spent as much as she wanted. Normally she carried about 5 bags by this time but right now she only had 3. Vic had bought out most of the stores new clothes already so pickings were slim. Her heels clicked on the sidewalk as she made her way to the next store. As she was walking she saw a girl sitting on the ground with the heal of her one shoe a good distance away. The contents of her purse were spilt out on the ground too.

It took a lot of effort from Victory not to laugh out loud. That must really suck. But hey, if you can't walk in the shoes it's your own fault for wearing them. She was going to keep walking when she reconigzed the girl. Not by name of course, but from around school. And parties. Every party she was at so was this girl. She knew her by reputation too. One of the popular party girls who was casted as perfect. That was one thing she couldn't stand. This girl had perfect hair,perfect eyes, perfect everything. Vic hated it. She glared at the girl for a quick second and then raised her eyebrows. "Ya know," she said"If you can't walk in the heels you probably shouldn't be wearing them. Just a tip." She gave a quiet little laugh. Maybe if she got on this girls nerves she would find out how not perfect she really was. The thought made Victory grin. Anyone being better then her was just not acceptable.

William-
It had been a long day for William. He had to deal with a lot of girls going crazy over shopping. He could only handle so much. He left the girls and headed away from the horrid place he disliked. He was on the street just seeing normal people when he noticed One of the popular girls take a tumble so to speak. He saw everything fall and some stuff break. He had the urge to run over to the girl to help her out but he noticed another girl there. She was talking to her from what he could tell. His mind kept telling him to walk away and not to get involved with the girls at all. But something was telling him to go to the girl and help her and he chose that over his mind.

William walked over to the girls. He gave the one girl talking a weird look and he walked to the girl on the ground he offered his hand to help her up. " Hey I saw you take a spill and was wondering if you needed any help?" William was not good talking to girls at all. He just talked and rambled on and on. Half the time he could not get a normal sentence out at all. But something in Williams mind was saying that this was now gonna be a bad outcome for him later.

I look up at the two who are mulling around me offering advice or help and I burst out laughing. "Its just a shoe, I'm fine! Besides its an interesting view from down here." I keep giggling as I get the rest of my things together. I tuck the jumble of my life back in my purse and take another sip from the flask. I turn to look at the girl, We run in the same clique at school but I can not for the life of me remember her name, and offer her a drink "You need to lighten up. It makes life better." I know she can't stand to think anything is better than her life so it was a teasing jab. I smile and life the flask, "Seriously, take a sip."

I turn my eye to the boy and wink. He seems so shy I'm not sure how to approach him, but he was kind and helpful so I might as well stay nice. I look for the nearest garbage can, its about a yard away, and hurl my shoes in the general direction of them. Might as well go buy a new pair now.

Before the girl could reply a boy walks up and offers her help. But before he does he gives Victory a funny. She frowns slightly. She dosen't know this boy. Which means this could lead to some fun... Vic then smiles sweetly at the boy and bats her eylashes at him. One of her famous moves. It generally leaves them all at a loss for words.

Then the girl on the ground starts bursting out in laughter. Ok...? Is there something wrong with her? Victory raises an eyebrow at her. Then after her explanation burts out laughing as well. It was kind of ridiculous the wa she was acting. And she was being quite a bitch, she thought this was how the girl was but it seems as if she was wrong.

Then she remembered this girl was in the same group she was in!!For the love of god why can't she remeber her name?! Well, yes her group did attend all the parties, so that's why she was always there. Well, at least she was at the ones Vic could attend. Since her parents forced her to go to Career Training. She smiled at the girl when she offered her the flask. She took it and had a big sip. How she loved that stuff.

Victory watched the girl throw her shoes near the garbage. Since they came up a little short Vic assumed this girl wasn't a Career. Or she wasn't really trying. She never remembered her at training though. Maybe that's why she dosen't know her name?Well, she better figure it out because it will drive her insane."I know this is a ridiculous question,"she said "And probably horribly rude too. But what's your name again?" she added a smile to try at make it not seem as bad.

William-
His face went red when the girl winked at him. He got all confused when she had winked at him. He was only being nice and offering a girl his help when she was down. But he had no time to be embarrassed for some odd reason. He saw the girl pick up her shoes and chuck them a good distance and hit a garbage can. He was impressed at her accuracy and distance. He kept thinking to himself how he had never seen this girl at training. She was good with a shoe and he bet she was good with a weapon also. William shook his head trying to get any thoughts about training or the games or anything that didn't have to do with the situation in hand out of his head.

William turned back to face the girl behind him. She smiled a little and batter her eyelashes at him. He got confused a little. He had left a group of girl for a certain reason and now he was with these two girls. His mind was racing all around coming up with crazy thoughts. But he heard someone say something."I know this is a ridiculous question,""And probably horribly rude too. But what's your name again?" William thought for a second if he was gonna give her his name. She was a stranger and all but then again she was a little pretty. His mind was set on giving her his name. " I am William Jethrow Wilson. Who might you ladies be if you don't mind me asking?"

Obviously my shoes miss by a decent distance, but who cares, they're in the general vicinity and I'm sure if someone who wants them can take them home and fix them, I guess. "Dia, I'm Dia Pettigilo." I stand up and keep giggling. "Well looks like I need some new shoes." I wiggle my polished toes and think for a second. "You look like you know how to shop," I say nodding at the girl sipping out of my flask. "See if you can show me a store I've not seen, I want something fun." My closet at home was filled with anything you could think of. Daddy always wanted me to have the best, but I wanted something fun and funky, something that captured the spark that Daddy said I carried in my eyes. My shoes were always statement pieces, more fun than anything else to buy.

Looking back I noticed how far off my aim really was, "Eh good think I don't train huh? I'm sure if I got reaped someone'd take my place, too many people trying to have a good time in there!" I shrugged my shoulders like it was no big deal. Clapping my hands together I look to the boy, "You want a drink too?" My berry libation was a hit with my friends at the parties, thats why I started carrying it in my flask. Only a few shots of the strong liquor and you were bound to loosen up your bootstraps.

Victory pushed the hair out of her eyes and whatched the giggling girl get up. She raised a suspicious eyebrow at her. Either she was drunk or alway like this. Well, from what she heard about this girl she was always like this. So did that mean she was always drunk? Vic really didn't know, or care for that matter. As long as this girl wasn't a bitch she didn't plan on doing anything to harm her.

Then the boy,whose name was apparently William, spoke up, he looked utterly confused for a while but apparently got past it. Victory decided that she had absolutley no clue who this boy was. And would most likely would never see him again, so it didn't really matter.But she smiled sweetly at him anyway. Dia! As soon as she said her name she remembered it. Honestly, she felt like a total idiot for not remembering it in the first place. Oh well, what ya gunna do?

"I'm Victory," she said with a smile "But call me Vic because I honestly can't stand my name." She almost shuddered. She really didn't like her name. Everytime she heard it, she was reminded of the path her parents set for her. Don't get me wrong though! She wanted to be a Career and win the games, it's just the fact that her parents picked that for her before she was even born.

She almost jumped for joy when Dia mentioned shopping! "I love shopping!" she almost squealed "It's my favorite pass time nect to training. One day I will show you shops that you have never seen before! Let's just hope you have a pair of shoes next time," she said with a slight giggle. She might actually be able to get along with this girl. Vic's eyes lit up when Dia mentioned volunteers if she ever got reaped. That might work out to her advantage. "You wouldn't want to go?" she asked witha slight frown. "Ohhh, wait that was stupid. You don't train." she laughed a bit at her own stupidity. Vic had always dreamed of going to the Games.

When Dia offered William a drink Victory had a feeling he would be reluctant. So she smiled sweetly at him and said," Take a sip. It won't hurt. And I'm sure you will absolutley love it." Then a though hit her. "Dia," she said " What size shoe are you?" Then she went looking in her bags for the item she was searching for.

William-
William was offered a drink. But he had a strict policy to keep from drinking. He didn't like not having what was not allowed in him. Specially when he had to train and he couldn't risk anything hurting him at all. But he didn't want to be a total asshat about it. He only had one way to reject something and he hated the way it sounded. "Sorry, but I will pass on the drink. Gotta be ready for the games you know no unofficial substance in the system."

He felt like a ass with the way he responded to the girl. But he hated stuff he knew nothing about. But he heard the girls talking about shopping and he needed some new nice shoes and maybe something decent to wear. He looked at both of the girls with a glance and spoke in his nicest voice, " I see you ladies are going to go shopping. Mind if this gentleman tags along. I need to get a few things and maybe I can help with your bags?"

Bursting out laughing so hard that I snort, I roll my eyes at the boy. "Its just a drink, its not like some magical potion sent down from the Capitol to steal your strength!" My hands were trying to cover my mouth to stifle the laughter, but it was hardly helping. Looking to Vic for some help or a way to change the conversation I squeak out "I wear a 6 and a half." Sealing up the flask I toss it in my purse and nod at Vic, "Did you go to the party yesterday? Ainsley and Tina were there, they were so funny, they thought it would be a good idea to try on Ainsley's mom's furs and...." I just kept rambling as we stood there. I hated the sound of silence, it was too boring, I needed life and excitement to surround my day.

I few passer byes looked over at a small group, probably wondering what we were doing just standing on the sidewalk like this. I looked down at my leg and saw a small smear of blood from one of the scraps. "Damnit!" I said licking my finger and swiped at it. It was hardly more than a paper cut but that sucker hurt!

Vic had to try so hard to keep from laughing at William. She knew for a fact that they didn't test for alcohol in the Capitol, they drank enough of it themselves anyway. They did,however, test for steriods and stuff. But only in the upper districts. It would be a waist since they can't afford it in the lower districts. She knew about this becausce she asked her father about it once. Nonchalantly of course. She couldn't have her dad figure out she was drinking. That would not end well. She looked at William and smile "C'mon," she said sweetly "Just take a sip. They don't test for that anyway and by the time the next Games come around it will be long out of you system." She figured it was a lost cause but might as well try.

When William asked the next question Vic was surprised. She was honestly was at a loss for words and that didn't happen quite often. She nudged Dia with her foot to get her to stop laughing. Then she raised her eyebrow at her as of to say 'Well,should we let him come?Descision's yours.' She let the subject drop temporarly and moved back on to shoes. A six and a half! Perfect! She found the right bag and pulled out a box. Then she threw it lightly at Dia,figuring it wouldn't end well if she whipped it at her. Inside the box was a pair of leapord print stilletos. They were gorgeous. And really expensive. "Take those," she said to Dia "They're not my size. I just bought them because." she gave a little shrug as to imply she had nothing better to do "Besides, they'll look amazing on you." She then smiled at Dia. Vic was beginning to like her.

Then she hear Dia cuss. Victory looked down to where she was wiping away some blood. She raised her eyebrows in a shocked way but then quickly composed her features. That was nothing. But then again Vic was taught to withstand pain. Besides, she was pretty sure nothing could be worse then the pain she felt when she was cut with a sword. She was fighting with another trainee. They weren't actually supposed to hurt eachother but he slipped and sliced open the top part of her thigh. Vic didn't scream but the pain was excruciating. She still had that scar. WHich is why most of the time she wears longer things.
