87th hunger games

Chapter.7

That night at dinner we have juicy roast beef and hot mashed potatoes.
I'm done I'm seconds "enough salt for you?" Lila jokes "shut up." I say leaning back in my chair.
I hear finnick and Annie whispering.
They lean closer to each other.
"IF YOU GUYS START KISSING AGAIN IM GONNA PUKE! " I shout "just to annoy you." Finnick exclaims,
He kisses Annie for a long time. "BLA!" I run off to my room and slam the door behind me.
*** time skip***
Training is at 10 the morning.
I wake up get a shower get dress eat a bit of breakfast brush my teeth and go to training.
We split up.
Evelyn and I go to practice camouflage.
She ends up making my arm look like I decaying zombie arm. "Great job" I say flashing her a crooked smile.

We try the fire station next, she makes a great fire. I on the other hand almost catch my hair a blaze.

After that we try hunting, we both stink at it. A boy from 8 is good at it though Ethan was his name.
He points the tip of the arrow at the fake Deers neck and let's it fly it pierces the rubber statue through the Bulls eye marked on the neck.
"How do you do it?" I ask "pardon?" He says confused "how are you do good at hunting?" I repeat "well I can show you." He offers "ya ok." I accept his offer.
He hands me a bow and arrow "so what you wanna do is aim a bit higher than you want." He instructs "the arrow will sink a bit as it flys." I pull the string back and shoot.
The arrow it's the Deers leg and the string whipped by four arm.
"Ah!" I shout dropping the bow and clutch my arm.
Everyone stops.
I feel tears prick my eyes, but I don't cry. Not here. Not now.
I suck it up and relax "are you ok?" The boy asks he sounds panicked. "Fine fine." I say waving off the few people who gathered in a circle around me.
They head back to there stations.
"Shall we go again?" I ask picking the bow back up "maybe you can use you trident" he mumbles "avoid hurting yourself again." The boy walks off the knot station.
I storm over to a station meant for climbing, a rope latter hangs from the ceiling to the floor. Anastasia Is about half way up the latter. "Come on!" Sophie shouts "I can't!" She wines "my foots caught"
I snicker.
And wrap my hands around the fraying ropes, I begin to climb.
"Here." I say when I reach Anastasia "wanna get down, all you gotta do is this!" I kick out her foot hold and she falls to the ground.
She lands flat on her ass.
Sophie starts laughing.
I continue to climb. I feel the latter swaying "you!" I hear Anastasia shout.
I look over my shoulder.
She's shaking the ropes trying to get my to fall "in that arena you so dead!" she shakes the latter more.
2 guards come and pull her away "hey.hey!" One shouts "save it for the arena!" The sound says "oh I will." She shouts then she storms off like a hurricane.
Sophie fallows.
I reach the top and rig the bell to say,
Hey guys look at me!
I glance at the game makers i see few nodding.
I lose my focus and fall.
I hit the ground hard, a sharp pain shoots up my back.
I scream.
And black out.

***2 hours later ***
I sit up. I'm back in the hotel room.
I rub my eyes.
My head spins.
I hear loud ringing.
My back hurts when I move.
But I manage to drag myself out into the main room "oh thank god!" Lila squeals she is at the dinner table with finnick Annie and Leo. I plop down into my seat.
"What happened?" I ask "you fell from the rope latter." Leo says "then you blacked out the doctors said you hit your head. But you'll be fine."
"You can still make it to scoring." Lila says happily "great." I roll my eyes. "It's at 2:00," "what time is it now?" I ask "one thirty" Annie whispers.
It's the first time I've heard her talk since the chariots, finnick normally speaks for her.
I'm still in my training outfit, that's good one less thing to do. I think.
"Well you two better get ready." Lila orders Leo quickly runs off to his room to get changed.
I go to the bathroom and redo my hair, I put it up in a bun like Sandra had done for the interviews.
And lace my combat boots back up, tighter this time.
Leo is ready.
We go by ourselves today.
"Floor 20" Leo says when we get in the elevator it shoots up and stops with a jolt
Bing!
The doors slide open, Leo and I walk down the hall "you really I think I could win?" Leo asks "ya" I admit "really?" He says unpleased with my answer.
I open the door to the scoring room, all the tributes are there lined up waiting I hear the careers snickering as I walk past.
I try my best to ignore them.
I sit beside Leo on the fourth bench to the right of the careers. "District one,Sophie" a robotic voice says the doors slide open and she walks in.
The voice comes on minuets later, "district one,Roy" Sophie walks out happily and Roy races in.
3 minuets later: district 2, Anastasia
6 minuets later: district 2, Slider
9 minuets later: district 3, honey
12 minuets later: district 3, David
15 minuets later: district 4, Kennedy

My turn.
I stand and walk to the doors. They slide open slowly and I step inside.
"Hello Kennedy." Says a chubby man with slicked back hair. "Begin." He clicks his Pen, my heart beats fast.

I start with knot tying:
I make a fishnet in 1 minuet, that's gotta be a record, right?

I move to camouflage:
I paint my arm to look like a tree.
Then I hold it up to the actual tree behind me. It doesn't look very good.
I watch the game makers scribble on there paper.

Finally I go to the station with all the weapons:
I try a bow and hit the dummy in the shoulder.
Knives. I think.
I toss a knife and hit the dummy in the head.

Trident.
I pick up the large metal object.
It's cold, And heavy.
I pull my arm back and throw the trident, it spirals towards the dummy, and nails it between the eyes, one prong digging into the neck the other in the scull.
I smile.
"Thank you." The chubby one says.
I leave the room and feel like I can breath again. "Good luck." I tell Leo and then he's gone behind the doors.
