Lea's POV

The next two days Lea felt horrible, she felt like a part of her was missing now that she wasn't with Finnick. She was used to sleeping in his arms so now she slept horribly. She still had to pull herself together and perform well during Training cause otherwise the careers wouldn't want to be her ally and she really needed them on her side if she wanted to win. But luckily, the careers didn't notice that something was up and they asked her and Louis to join their group at the end of the last training. She was now waiting beside the other tributes to be called into the room for their individual assessment with the game makers. The male tribute from District 3 was in at the moment, so that meant that she was next. Getting a high score was really important, in that way more people would fear her, and she would get more sponsors.

Suddenly the announcer turned back on. "Lea Miller, District 4, please report for your individual assessment,"

Lea took a deep breath before walking into the room where the assessment took place. She smiled over to the game makers, but of the 15 people who were up on the balcony, only 3 were paying attention to her. She was only the seventh tribute and already they were losing their attention. That is probably the reason why one and two get such high scores and the ones from Districts such as 10, 11, and 12 got such low scores.

"Lea Miller you have 10 minutes to present your chosen skill," One of them said before turning his back to her and continuing his conversation.

She took the belt with knives off the table and put it around her waist and she started throwing knives at the dummies in front of her, hitting them right in the heart or head. She kept on throwing different knives from different angles, none of them missing the target. Proudly she looked up, only to see that almost no one was paying any attention. She only had Three minutes left in her session so she had to do something to impress them.

"Hey, don't want to interrupt your conversations but I might die in a few days so it would be very polite of you if you could pay any attention to me," Lea screamed.

"You don't scare us Miss Miller and we certainly don't owe you anything," One of the game makers laughed.

"Well, if you are not scared of me, please one volunteer come on down," Lea said

The Gamemakers all started laughing and one of them came down.

"Please stand over there by that wooden wall and spread your arms and legs," Lea asked and the game maker did.

She then used the sheet that was present on the table, ripped a piece off to use as a blindfold, and put it on. Next, she threw a bunch of knives off the game-maker, each of them landing perfectly next to him. When she took off her blindfold, 20 knives were all circled around the game-maker, but none of them were even close to hitting him.

The game-maker almost pissed his pants then started running back up.

"See, that was not so hard now was it, thanks for your consideration," Lea said as she walked out of the room.

She then waited for Louis to finish his assessment and then they went back to the apartment together. Before she could storm into her room, she was stopped by Tyler. "What the hell was that Lea, they will not like that arrogance and you will probably score low because of it. If you had just thrown a bunch of knives, it would be alright. Who cares if not all of them are watching you?" Tyler yelled

"Well what's done is done," She said back as she stormed to her room.

After Dinner, everyone was sitting on the couch, waiting for the scores to be announced. Suddenly the Capitols anthem started playing and Caeser appeared on the screen.
