Trying To Hate You

Chapter 6: Scores (Clove's P.O.V)

A/N: Sorry that's its been awhile but I have been super busy over the summer holidays and they are still not over yet!!! Now I don't really know where I was going with this one but I think it turned out pretty cool.

The next two day's of training flew by very quickly and it was almost the same as the first. With a few arguments from Cato, he managed to make a pretty long kill list, at the top was the boy who he thought stole his knife.

[Flashin back *Whoosh*]

I was standing in the line for the climbing net, Katniss was standing in front of me and I glared at the back of her head, I will kill you...

Suddenly there was a commotion to my right, I turned my head to see what was the problem. There stood Cato, beside the knife table yelling at the District 6 boy. 

"Hey, you took my knife." Cato yelled. The boy was not backing down though. I folded my arms and smirked, this should be interesting.

"I didn't touch your knife." The boy shouted back.

"You took my knife!" Cato screamed in his face, pushing 6's shoulder. Cato failed to realise that the small girl from 11 was dangling from the roof with Cato's knife. She was twirling it around and smiling at the boys. I caught Katniss smiling at the girl from 11 and my smirk turned into a cold glare, the small girl will be the one to die next, right after Katniss.

I thought about mentioning it to Cato but decided against it, the boy from 6 irritated me, I wanted Cato to kill him first. Right after I kill Katniss.

[Flashing forward *Whish*]

All tributes were sitting in a small room, waiting for their name to be called. We were to show our skills to the Gamemaker's. 

"Clove Kentwell." Called a voice from above and the doors opened. I stood up and all eyes were on me, including Katniss'. I smirked and left the room and into this rather long hall. At the end of it was a box rather high up, inside were the Gamemaker's.

Set up on the floor were five targets and a knife stand. I walked over to the knife stand and picked up a few knives. Thinking of what to do next I called out to the Gamemaker's, "Clove Kentwell, District 2."

Their attention was on me as I walked back to the targets, standing directly opposite from them. I threw my first knife, and then another, and another. I heard gasps and cheers coming from the box and I smirked. Once I was pleased with my work, I turned to the Gamemaker's and with a swift nod of my head I left. On the first target I threw my knives into the shape of a C, the next an L on the next target, and then O, then V, then E. I wanted them to remember my name.

Later on that evening, we had gathered in the living room, awaiting our scores. Caesar Flickerman was on the T.V with paper in his hand. The first score was called.

"From District 1, Marvel. With a score of 9." Caesar said. Cato looked furious , but didn't say anything. I on the other hand kept on a poker face even though I probably was just as mad as Cato, I didn't show it.

"From District 1, Glimmer. With a score of 8." Caesar called out. I was less angry about that one.

"From District 2, Cato. With a score of 10." Cato leaned back into his seat and smiled smugly as our stylists, mentors and reaper congratulated him.

I leaned forward in my seat, waiting for my score. "From District 2, Clove. With score of 10." I internally let out a sigh of relief and I smirked, myself and Cato had the highest scores. Everyone started to congratulate us and Cato and I played it off like it was nothing.

More and more tributes were called out and not one of them matched my score, and then it reached District 11.

"From District 11, Thresh. With a score of 9." He is one to look out for, I mentally noted, I'm sure Cato did the same thing. Then it was the little girl who was second on my kill list. Rue her name was, she scored 7. Then it went onto District 12.

"From District 12, Peeta. With a score of 8."Caesar said. My thoughts drifted to Katniss, and as soon as they did, her face was on the screen.

"And finally, from District 12, Katniss Everdeen. With a score of 11." I was beyond mad, I was livid. I immediately stood up and picked up the dinner knife that was on the coffee table in front of me. I threw it at the screen, it landed directly between Katniss' eyes. All was silent.

"I will kill you." I whispered furiously and stormed off to my room, without saying another word. When I got there I slammed my door shut with so much force that I'm sure District 12's pent house could hear it. I screamed in frustration and sat on my bed. I held my face in my hands and a few tears escaped my eyes. I don't normally cry, in fact I never cry but I couldn't help it. As the tears trickled down my face, I wiped them away with the back of my hand.

'All my life I have dreamed of winning the games, to see the proud smiles on my parents faces when I returned. But now some volunteer girl tribute from District 12 is about to take it all away from me. NO! I will win the games. I have to....'

So yeah that happened. I was debating whether or not to make Clove cry or not. I wanted to keep her tough but in the end I wanted to show that she is only a kid that is a part of these games. 

I hope you enjoyed and sorry it took so long, whoops my bad :)
