*Glimmers POV*

------------------------

Everyone has finished 'presenting' themselves to the panem crowd. As me and the rest of the group get our normal clothes on, we sneak away from the workers and talk. 

"did you guys see 12?!" I say in a frustrated tone, They nod.

"How does that fire even work?" Clove says sighing, i can tell she is pissed just like the rest of us.

"Im guessing their costume designer had a few tricks up his sleeve. He clearly knew what he was doing." Cato says blankly.

"yeah.. what do we do?" Marvel asks looking at Cato, to me, then to Clove.

"Not sure.. Let's just keep an eye on them." Cato says, we all agree.

We all go quiet as a peacekeeper comes over to the corner we hid at. He signals for us to get back to our district rooms immediately. Me and clove sneak off giggling to the bathrooms so we can hang out longer. "oh my .. GOD'" I say while laughing, Clove is laughing too. It's strange because we both have no idea what we are laughing at. "what are we even laughing at??" Clove says as she finally stops laughing and shakes her head, I shrug and smile as i wash my face. "come." I nod my head for her to come to where i was at the sink. "Huh?" She says confused, haha typical Clove. "oh my god, come here" I smile as i say this. She starts walking over to me and leans against the counter top next to me, I never actually realized how tiny she appears, It's cute really. "why did you want me over here? Gonna tell me a secret?" Clove says looking at me, I smile and run warm-ish water under a face cloth and bring it close to Clove's face. "May I?" I ask, she sighs "fineee." she says, I know she doesn't mind, but it's never bad to ask. I gently cup her face and wash her face, even her face is tiny. I catch myself in admiration but pull myself out of it before she notices. I dry her face off with a dry towel. "and Done!" I say while smiling at her. 

"are you going to bed?" I ask, i secretly wanna keep hanging out with her, not only because breaking the rules is fun but also because she is pretty fun to be around. "hmm probably, we train tomorrow." she says, "oh my godd i forgot about that! yeah, we should go to bed then" I laugh a little and so does she. We begin to walk down the halls to get to the elevator so Clove can go to the district 2 floor. We reach the elevator in minutes and she starts to walk into the elevator. "hey uh clove?" i say, "yeah?" She responds, "Have a goodnight!" I say smiling, she smiles back. "you too" She says with a light smile before the elevator doors shut and i hear it go up. I start walking back to my room, Marvel is passed out on the couch from eating and watching TV. I smile but cringe at that sight. I fix up my hair into a bun and throw some pj's on before getting into bed until... I notice something, some one. I look out my window and from across and above in a distance is Clove's window. I see her brushing her hair, her image is very far away but i know that's her. I stand there staring at her, I catch a smile like smirk form on my face. I quickly shut my curtains and lay in bed. oh god. forget i watched her. i never saw her. I can't admire her like that. shut up shut up GOD SHUT UP. I say these words in my head over and over again until i let out a huge sigh. I force myself to fall asleep.

*the morning*

 *Cloves POV*

-------------------------------------

I feel the light on my face, I get up sighing. I'm actually looking forward to training today, but I need to get ready. I go to check if Cato is awake and no he is not. Laying there arms spread and practically snoring like a vacuum cleaner. I throw a pillow at him "wake up" I say, he slowly wakes up. "jeez.." he says while grabbing the same pillow while standing up. He walks over to me and wacks me with the pillow "Hey!!" I say while we both continue to hit each other with the pillow. We stop because we realize how stupid we look. He laughs and goes to make himself something to eat. I grab my training clothes and take a shower. He proceeds to shower after me. 

Me and cato make small talk while walking down to the main floor, we spot Glimmer and Marvel and run up to them. "Hi guys!" Glimmer says with a smile. "when does training start?" I ask, Marvel tells us it starts in about ten minutes. "good thing we even made it this early, Clove takes for EVER in the shower." Cato says rolling his eyes with a stupid smile, "wowwww" I say back, Glimmer laughs at the conversation. In a few more minutes a man walks in with a clipboard. He begins to explain "Welcome tributes of the 74th Hunger games. This is our first training session out of 2. These sessions will run for a couple of hours, reminder, do NOT try your absolute hardest in the training as we want to see your best skill on the last day. There are knife, sword, archery, spear, parkour and IQ stations for you all to train with. You will not fight with other tributes or you will be removed. understood?" He says and looks around, we all nod in response. "very well,  you may begin." I stand in a line to receive my weapon of choice, I hear shouting from a distance. Cato charges at a younger tribute, "Who took my knife! Did you take my knife!?" Cato yells at the frightened boy. "No! I don't have it!" He says back standing up "Admit it! Admit it! and i maybe won't punch you in the head right now!" Cato threatens the boy, before the employees come over and grab cato's arms and try to push him away from the boy. Cato yells a bit more before walking away. I roll my eyes and smile,  I knew he was gonna lose his temper sooner or later, I look up to see a little girl with Cato's knife, The little one from 11. I drop my smile and decide to ignore this for now, I'll save any anger for the arena. I take a knife and stand at the station. A guy stands to the side to observe. The station sets up and I throw one, I turn my shoulder and throw a second, I spin and raise my arm at a quick pace throwing the last one. Center. Center. Center. They all hit the dead middle of the red circle on each mannequin. I smile to myself, the guy and nods and writes something down and walks off. I continue throwing some knifes, each of the them at every angle. I focus on nothing but the targets. Glimmer is out doing archery, Marvel with his spear again, and Cato with his signature sword. 

I walk over to Glimmer who has missed a lot of shots so far. She has hit many of them pretty good but still. "You alright? you keep missing." I say with a sarcastic voice "Yes i'm fine, Just something on my mind." She says while sighing. "Like what?" I say tilting my head. "It doesn't really matter, don't worry" She says giving me a quick smile before looking back at the target. "Alright if you say so, talk later" I say and walk away but i do hear a slight "okay." as i walk away from her. Something is most definitely wrong, I'll have to ask about it when we hangout later today.
