I feel the practically instinctual urge to fight Ruthless - maybe it's because of all of the time I've spent in the training session throwing knives at targets and throwing them at the walls in my room. My fingers are curled around my dagger, which is secured in my belt. I restrain from pulling out the dagger and stabbing Ruthless, although I must admit that I'd very much like to. I would feel terrible afterwards, though.
With my short temper, it's always been hard to contain my anger. Ruthless is pushing many, many buttons. I'm sure that my face is still pink. I almost want to touch my cheek to feel for the warmth, just to be sure. I hate how fair my skin is. It shows color too easily.
"You're really willing to give up your life over embarrassment, that is the most ridiculous thing I've heard," says Ruthless. Then she mumbles, "There's a lot more to winning than riches and glory."
"Life doesn't seem to mean much to you, considering that you want to go slaughter a whole bunch of tributes,"" I say, the rage loud and clear in my voice, "so why does my life matter to you? And tell me, Ruthless, what more is there to the Hunger Games, if it is not all about riches and glory?"
I decided not to go into further detail about why I'd risk my life. I don't think Ruthless would understand, nor do I think it's necessary to expose my personal life to Ruthless.
"And as for what I want to do," I say, not waiting for an answer from Ruthless, "is explore. Maybe shoot things. I can do whatever I want now, can't I?" So far, I was enjoying this strange, unfamiliar sense of freedom.
