Today, all of the tributes have to wait in a waiting room to do their private sessions with the judges. It starts with District One, so district 12 goes last. After about an hour and a half, my name is called. I stand up, leaving Katniss alone. As I walk into the room, I immediately spot some weights. I see a 200 pound one, but not for very long. I drop it, but they judges don't seem very impressed. So, I pick up a 150 pound weight and I chuck it across the room. They start clapping, and I leave the room.
That night, Cinna, Effie, Haymitch, Katniss, and I huddle around the TV to see the results. The girl I saw on the ceiling during training got a 7! Then, the announcer says, "Peeta Mellark, District 12, with an 8!" Yassss! I'm so happy! Katniss gets an 11, so she gets all of the attention, but I'm just happy with my score. The thing is, 8 is the perfect score. No one sees you as a threat, and no one sees you as a weakling.
