I followed the peacekeepers down my corridor and to the study. They opened the door for me and inside was none other than President Snow himself. I heard the door behind me being closed, causing me to turn around to see it closed, indeed.

I turned back to Snow to see him looking at a hologram of something.''Such bravery,''he spoke, not looking at me still,''Such spirit, such...''he said, finally looking at me and turning the monitor towards me so I can see. It was showing the moment of the games where I took the Nightlock out of my pocket.''Contempt.''he finished.

I gulped.''President Snow,''I said. I started walking closer to him.'''What an honor,''I said and stood in front of the desk.

He spoke again.''My dear, I think we can make things so much simpler if we agree not to lie to each other, what do you think?''he asked.

''Yes, I think that would save time,''I spoke, emotionless.

''Sit down, please,''he said, as f the house was his, which is partly true.

I sat down on the chair next to me, he sat in the one on the opposite side and turning the video that had been rolling until now.

He spoke, dryly.''I have a problem, Miss Chen,''he said.''A problem that began the moment you took out these poison berries in the arena. This Gamemaster, Seneca Crane, had had any brains at all he would have blown you to bits right then and there.''he said, emotionless as well.''But here you are, and I think you can guess where is he now.''he said.

''Yes, I think so,''I said.

''Well, after that fiasco, there was nothing left to do but to let you play out your little scenario,''he said, and shacked his head a bit.''And you were very good. That whole lovecrazed school girl, impressive, really. You convinced the people in the Capitol.''he said and sighed.''Unfortunately, not everyone in the Districts fell for it. I mean you can't know this, but in several of them people viewed your little trick with the berries as an...act of defiance, bot as an act of love. And if a girl from District 12 of all can pull up something like that and walk away unharmed, why couldn't they? What us to prevent, say, an uprising? That can lead to revolution and then in a matter of time the whole system collapses.''he explained to me.

''It must a bad system if it can be brought down by a few berries, don't you think?''I asked.

''Yes, it is, indeed,''he said.''But not in the way you imagine it.''

I spoke again.''How should I imagine?''I asked.

''You should imagine thousands upon thousands of your people dead,''he said.''This town of yours reduced to ashes. Imagine it gone.''he continued and was starting to actually scare me.''Made radioactive. Buried under dirt as if it had never existed like District 13.''he threatened. I remained quiet.''You fought really hard in the Games, Miss Chen, but they were games. Would you like to be in a real war?''

''No,''I spoke, even before he had finished.

''Good, neither would I,''he said took some biscuits that Kai had made for us.''Did your sister made these?''he asked.

''Kai,''I said.

A smile appeared on his face.''Ah, he's a lovely boy,''he said and ate the biscuit, then leaned on the desk.''Tell me, at what point did he realize the depth of your indifference towards him?''he asked.

The hairs on my arms stood up, but I didn't let it show on my face.''I'm not indifferent,''

''Don't lie!''he almost yelled.''You promised.''he said calmly and took a bite from another biscuit.

''Why don't you'just kill me now?''I wondered. Not that I want to die, I just wanted to know what's the point of all of this.

''I don't want to kill you,''he said.''I want us to be friends.''Um okay?''But if not friends, then allies.''

''What do I need to do?''I asked, without hesitation.

'''When you and Peeta are on tour, you need to smile. You need to be grateful."he ordered."But above all, you need to be madly, prepared-to-end-it-all in love. You thinking you can manage that?"

"Yes,"I said, nodding a bit.

"Yes what?"he almost growled.

"I'll convince them,"I said.

"No,"he shook his head."Convince me."he said and a smile appeared on his face once again. He took the white rose that was in his jacket pocket and handed it to me."For you, miss Chen. Doesn't go with your hair, but it's still pretty."he said and put the rose on the desk.

He stood up and clicked on something."Do you convince me?"he asked and I looked at the monitor. There, Jay and I were hugging and he was kissing my forehead."For the sake of your loved ones."he said and left, while I stood there and watched.

Everybody in our District know that there is nothing between Jay and I. But the rest of the world don't.

I have to convince them. Not only for me and my family, but for Kai, and Jay, their families and the whole District. Everything is in my hands.
