sleepless // open

all i've ever wanted was the world
i can't help that i need it all
the primadonna life, the rise and fall
you say that i'm kinda difficult
but it's always someone else's fault


Perhaps it was a little too early for a jog even considering that it was the second day of the Games and the Shore children were expected to either spend the day inside watching the Games or be in the District Square watching. After the long time spent in District Four for the Panem Olympics and having to come home without a medal, Phenakite Shore found her drive rekindled after two failures of her own. That spot should have been mine. It should be me in the arena with Peridot. She missed her chance to volunteer over that mess of a Dempsey girl. Phenakite could see that she would easily work the intimidation route for the Games. No, after the failures of the year, she would train harder than before working at a killer physique that would make any career or tribute run crying. (She still thought her current 124 lbs. and 5'6" stance was intimidating.) Before she was missed, she would run as far as she could and back so a training day wouldn't be completely missed. Despite her flaws, Phenakite Shore was as ambitious as any other career and had the drive to achieve what she wanted if she felt she needed improvement.

Wearing a sleek black jogging suit, she wasn't really visible to be honest. It wasn't a priority of hers to be courteous to anyone else who might be on the streets. Everything that went inside her mind ran back to herself, her selfishness never took a back seat at any point during the day. During the jog, he mind kept running back to the Games and how vastly different they would be if she was the District One female tribute. As she passed the Justice Building and the small crowds already there watching the Games, she looked up towards the jumbotrons not finding anything of importance at the moment. That brief moment of distraction forced her into another person and Phenakite Shore lost her balance and fell onto her hands and thigh with enough force that for a second she worried her leg was broken.

"Oh, God, I'm so sorry," she heard a girl's voice say as she looked over her leg for any sign that it wasn't broken. (it wasn't.) "I honestly didn't even see you."

Phena got back on her feet again and looked at the girl with fierce venom hidden in that stare. Perhaps she shouldn't be so harsh on the girl but she wasn't about to admit that she had any fault in the stumble. Giving a brief scoff, she opened her mouth to drone on and on about herself. "Thankfully I'm fine but you really should watch where you're going. I could have broken my neck tripping over you. I'm Phenakite Shore and I have too many siblings who would miss me if I broke my neck running into some girl at no fault of my own." Oh yes, she loved to lay it on a little too thick for people, she was too good at it for her own right and it really surprised no one that she lacked a circle of friends.



i know i've got a big ego
i really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
and i'm sad to the core, core, core
everyday is a chore, chore, chore
when you give, i want more, more, more
