It's Not Just A Game.

Second Day of Training.

I didn't have the energy to get out of bed, wake up! I thought to myself, no movement. Wake up! I thought to myself again, "Wake up!" That wasn't me telling myself to get up. "Clove, you can not miss a day of training!" Chadwick was getting impatient with me, I turn my head and see him in a powder blue wig and a blue suit to match, "Chadwick, you look like a blue berry," I mumbled, he looked like he was offended by that. I grinned, "Well you look like a marshmallow with a little bit of dirt on it," he threw back. I could see where he got the marshmallow bit, but the dirt?

Oh wait, my hair, I had long dark brown hair, my hair was the colour of soil I guess, "if you aren't up in five minutes, I'll have an Avox soak you in ice cold water," he threatened me. I rose from my bed just like that and glared at him, "you wouldn't dare," I snarled, "Oh, just you watch, 2," he hissed back. He stormed out of my room and it didn't take me one second to realize he would do it, I got out of my bed and put my training clothing on, I put my hair up in a pony tail and left the room. It only took me four and a half minutes to get ready, it was to late to eat breakfast so I downed a cup of orange juice like yesterday. "Someone slept in," I looked at the person who dare say that, Cato's evil grin made me just a wee bit agitated. I scowled at him and walked into the elevator, he followed me down. I hit the button that was marked 'TC' for training Centre, in seconds we were there obstacle courses laid out but nothing what you'd classify as easy.

Trainers were set up at the stations with batts and padded gloves. We had to wait for all the other tributes to come, I wondered around the Center to see if I could get a head start on what we had to do. Atala whistled and we crowded her around, he sent us to different courses, I was sent to a net climbing station, glimmer and the girl from 11 came. Cato told me her name was Rue, she seemed scared of everyone in the gym. Cato and Marvel went to knives, I know for a fact none of them have ever tried to throw a knife before, well, except Cato attempting to on the train.

The trainer told us what to do and glimmer went first, she didn't exactly know what she was doing but she pretended she did. The rope was a thick black rope with holes to put your feet in, glimmer was able to the climb the rope in 10 minutes, the average was 5. She insisted to go again, I spotted her so she wouldn't hurt herself, she was quite wobbly, the rope twisted and I tried to straighten out the rope. I looked back and I couldn't see 11, she had disappeared again. "Are you okay Glimmer?" I yelled up. She turned back and looked unsteady, "Fine 2, just fine,"

She came down as it was my turn next, I looked back for a split second to see Marvel throw the beautiful knife past the dummie and into the hitting the wall. I was going to go next but that girl from 11 went up next before I could move a foot. I scowled at her but then my mind was on other things, "Where's my knife!?" I heard a annoyed Cato, I turned around and so did everyone else. "I didn't take your knife!" Another tribute boy yelled back, the trainers were pulling Cato and the boy apart, "You took my knife!" Cato accused, I glanced over at fire girl. She was looking up and giggling, I followed her gaze up into the ceiling. Rue, she was tangled up in a different net, higher up than the one that glimmer attempted to climb. She had Cato's knife and didn't look like she felt guilty about it.

I smirked and looked back at the outburst that was currently happening between my district partner and the other boy. "I didn't take your knife!" He yelled back, I sighed, this was pathetic. "You know what? You'll be the first one get in the arena so watch your back! Huh!" Cato spat as the trainers restrained him. The trainers let him go and he walked off, "you don't know who you're messing with kid!" He yelled as he shook his head. Everyone was still staring at the fuming mad Cato. He walked away and went back to the knife station. "11 get your ass down here before I cut the rope and make it only one tribute from district 11 I have to fight," Glimmer snapped. I had to laugh because I have never seen her mad like that. Rue slowly but surely climbed down, I smiled at her and she hid her face. She moved swiftly away from us and followed the 12s. The pathetic twelves, they were at the camouflage station, the boy was painting his hand and the girl was just watching him.
