While I eat my oatmeal for breakfast my annoying earpiece rings.
"Ready for training! Get ready, meet me at 1:00" says Madison.
"Yeah, I'll be right there." I know we have to fight battles and stuff but why do we have to train, I mean can't they just give us advanced technology so that we don't have to.What is the point of this generation! I change in a white t-shirt, highwatered leggings, and raggedy shoes. While I walk to the training facility I notice that I forgot to put my long blonde wavy hair in a ponytail, but for now I'm too lazy so I just let it drape and flow side to side. I enter and Madison greets me. I explore the room with my eyes and see my brother, Tess, and Bronx who looks at me with a ravishingly handsome smile.
"I have some special weapons you might want to try!" says Madison. I hear a click at the back of the room...the door, it's Taylor. I jogg toward her, her lips form to say something but I beat her at it. "I'm sorry I didn't let you explain!"
"Oh really now you apologize, get out of my way!" She says angrily and pushes me to the ground. Bronx rushes toward me and helps me up. My whole body is filled with anger
"Ugh!" I scream furiously. For some reason I forget everything thing and focus on Bronx he looks down at me and I look up. "Are you okay?" He says.
"Yes" I say in response. At least I have him by my side. To distract me Madison  pulls me away from the group to a dark blue room lit with light blue lights and a glass box in the middle.
"Step inside the box please" says Madison. I step inside and she hands me a pistol.
"level one" says a voice from inside the box. A hologram of a Capitol soldier appears in the box. He charges at me and I shoot, I feel a sense of relief... I did it. Then five soldiers appear, three on the roof and two on the ground. I aim for the two on the ground first. I shoot them down, a gun goes off and a bullet coming straight for me. I roll to the side dodging the bullet, I kneel and shoot the three soldiers. The holograms disappear and I step out. Madison claps slowly with an impressed expression on her face. "Wow! How did you do that... I thought you had no training experience?"
"Well my brother was in the military, he taught me a few tricks!"

After dinner I walk to my room, while I walk I hear footsteps behind me so I turn around and see that no one is there. I turn back around and bump into Bronx, we both fall on each other. We gaze at each other and I swear it's so beautiful. Slowly he leans in and kisses me softly, my body tingles. Does he like me too! I can't speak, this moment is too precious. He finally leans back and his soft voice says "I've always loved everything about you since the day we met, I was just too afraid to tell you."
"Me too." We both laugh at each other. But I'm thinking about what my brother might think of this.
