I try to act confident as I walk into the room in which a line of game askers are watching me, assessing my every move. I decide to play safe and I pick up a large stick lying on the ground, and find a sharp stone. I carefully sharpen the end. When I am satisfied, I stand and aim at the target. Bullseye! I bow and leave, shutting the door behind me. I give Lana a comforting smile and walk back down to my room, waiting impatiently for the training scores.

The rest of our alliance come down to my room and we watch the scores together. Most of the careers get 10s and 9s, apart from a girl called Lilah from district 4, who gets an 11. Most of the other tributes got 8s,7s, and a few 9s. Enmity, from Thor's alliance, also got an 11. Then it comes to us. Piper and Lucas both get 8s, Saxon gets a 10, which gets a big cheer, I get a 7, which I'm quite disappointed with, and Kain gets a 5. Anouk gets a 10, I had no idea she was so skilled, it's a shame she's going solo. Before we know it, it's at district 11.
"Caspar Rye, with a score of... 11" says Sweetie Pie enthusiastically.
A big cheer comes from the other members of the alliance. His score could get us the extra things we might need in the arena. Lana, Emilé and Lily all get 8s.
A mentor comes in and users us back to our rooms. The games are tomorrow...
