Holly Chang - District Seven
"Which stations did you girls do yesterday?" Hunter asks us. "Edible plants, hammock making, and tridents," Reese tells me. Reese is the other girl from my District, and Hunter is our mentor. "Okay good. Today visit at least four, more if you can," Hunter tellers us. Reese and I nod. "We should head down now," I say. Hunter, Reese, and I stand up and take the elevator down. Today is the second day of training. Tomorrow we will have our private sessions with the Gamemakers. I am going to be showing them my camouflage skills. I really enjoy painting and doign camouflage, it is my best skill.
The first station that Reese and I go to is knives. We throw knives at targets. I go first while Reese stands and watches. I'm kind of nervous of how this will turn out. I hit five targets out of eight, close to six. Reese goes next, she hits six targets. We do it again and then move onto shelter-making. The leader shows us how to pick the best spot for our shelter, how to stay warm in our shelter, and the supplies we need to make the shelter. I like this station a lot because it is useful, and I'll try to make shelters in the arena. We make a simple shelter using the instructions the leader told us. We both do well in making it.
After that it is time for lunch. Reese and I with each other. We eat and then go back to training. The station we go to next is slingshots. This station I'm not too good at. Reese is really good at it. I'm amazed at how she hits the target every time and how fast and quick she can do it. Reese goes a few more times, and then the girls from District Five come to this station so we let them go and then each do it one more time. We have time to do two more stations.
"Let's each pick a station to go to," I suggest to Reese. "I want to go to obstacle courses," she tells me. "I want to go to archery," I say. We first head over to the obstacle course. Reese goes first. The course is basically where you have to jump from platform to platform in the fastest time possible. You also get padded clubs swung at you as you're jumping, which makes it even harder. Reese does good and so do I.
I've learnt a lot from this training day, and I'm ready to show the Gamemakers what I can do.
