In the park [sole]

Selena Fatoal

I walk into District 2 for some much needed rest and relaxation, I've been out in the woods searching for old artifacts for ages, I need food, water, med supplies...

I glance around, it's nice sunny day, I feel like taking a relaxing break, I see a park, it looks nice in there, nice and calm, relaxing, I head for a park bench to sit and rest...

I sigh, why do I always seem to attract curious girls to ask me things, but I put a fake smile on my face "Hello Sunny, I'm Selena, I'm fine, just a bit tired, I've been out in the forests for some time..."

My jaw drops, I rarely met people this kind, even in a rich district like 2, "Are you sure?" I say, not really believing it, the idea of fresh food, clean water and a hot shower have me all combine to make me...well...surprised doesn't really cover it...shocked? "If you are sure, I'd love to, thank you..."

I smile and stand up, "You;re too kind" I say, blushing, "I feel like I owe you something..." thn I have an idea, I stick a hand into my pack and pull out one of my finds, a small charm bracelet that's about two hundred years old, "Here, have this, it's one of the things I found on my digs out in he forest"

"It's nothing" I say, "You find something like this is almost every ruined house you find, although I don't tell the people I sell them to that" I wink, "Besides, you deserve it, people need to be rewarded for their kindness..."

I smile, "I like being sneaky, sneaky is fun" she shows me to the shower and I nod as she tells me how to get to the kitchen, I smile. After she leaves I strip off and step under the showerhead, turning it on. The hot water feels so good on my sore, dirt-caked hide. After about half an hour I finally step out. I towel myself off and use the hairdryer to dry my hair. I brush it out then redress before following the smell of food to the kitchen...

My mouth instantly begins to water as I enter the kitchen and see someone, not a parent or sibling, they wear a uniform type of outfit, staff?, preparing pizza, mmmh, delicious, "My favourite" I murmur as I enter the room, almost drooling at the pizza, "I haven't had it since I left the Capitol"
