Then I’m called in. I walk in and see the game makers in purple are watching me as I walk to the center of the room I show 7 fingers to the game makers to show them which district I’m from. I walk to the axes area and throw one at a dummy and chop off its neck. Then I turn to the station across from the axe station and look at the sword center and throw the axe and the dummy’s head for sword practice falls off. The I walk to the wrestling center and show the avox what I want them to do. The two avox make a cradle with their hands and with my axes in my belt I push myself from the avox hands into the rafters. The game makers gasp and I grab a rafter. I begin to fly around the training room. Swinging from rafter to rafter and with my two axes cut down the sand bag for boxing and then I let go of the ceiling and with another gasp I land on the sandbag like it’s an animal and with my other axe I cut it open like an animal’s throat. Then I show them all the other weapons I can us finally the head game maker says I can go back to my floor. When I get back to my floor I realise that I was in there for about an hour guess they liked me.

Jessica and Johanna follow me to my room and ask how training went I told them about my session and Johanna likes the sound of it.

“You did great Arianna you’re going to have sponsors coming out of your ears.” She says.

After the private sessions the game makers release a score for each tribute telling audience how well we did in training. From 1-12 1 being really bad and 12 being unattainably high. No details are released to keep our talents secret. This gives the audience ideas on who to bet for because this is just a show to them not a reminder that rebellion must never happen again or that The Capitol controls the districts. No they think we enjoy this.

After dinner we watch the training score are shown. The boy from 1 gets a 10 and the girl from 4 gets a 9. All the careers got high score but the boy from district 1 got the highest. Then Tyler’s face shows up he get a 9 which is really good normally district 7 get low scores. Then my face shows up and the number 11 is flashing in front of my face and I am in amazement. I look to Jessica and she starts hugging me and telling me that I did a great job. I’m still amazed that I could have gotten an 11.

 Once all the other tributes scores come up I walk to bed and begin to draw a dress.  It’s a light green colour with a sweet heart neckline, Georgian taught me, and the skirt is poufy and on the top and a bit on the skirt there are silver accents. I really like it and want to show Johanna so she can ask Georgian if he can make it for me.

“Wow I want you to be my stylist!” Johanna says looking at my drawing. “I’ll make sure to get this to Georgian.”  

“She says thanks.” Jessica translates and I walk to our room and go to bed.

Morning I get up before anyone and I go for breakfast early. In the dining room the avox are waiting for us all to get up. When I walk in the avox’s stand at attention and gesture for me to serve myself. I grab some eggs and eat while I look over at the skyline of The Capital.

The Capital the skyline is pretty without the fumes from the cars blocking out the buildings. The Capital is a bunch of candy coloured buildings all different sizes and all different colours.

I finish my eggs and grab some stew. The stew has a lot of meat in it, good because I need to put on some weight. When everyone else fills in I grab some more stew and make sure I drink some water.

“Ok so today we are going to teach you how to present yourself tomorrow night.” Johanna says to Tyler and me.

“Ok and?” asks Tyler.

“Well Johanna and I decided that we are both going to teach you.” Troy says.

“Alright?” Tyler continues. “And?”
