Finn's POV :
Okay, so today is so the first day of training.
Tributes had to wake up at 6 in the morning because it is apparently rude to sleep past 8am in the Capitol.
I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP!
Anyways, I walk out of my room into the kitchen area to see mum at the dining table holding a cup of a steaming caramel-colored liquid.
I think in the Capitol they call it, 'Hot Chocolate'.
"Hello, dear.", Mum says, as I come into her eyesight.
"Hey Mum", I say back, yawning in the process.
"You have to be ready in 15 minutes. I was letting you sleep in. Go get ready, please." She says.
I nod. "Okay, love you." I say, honestly.
"I love you, too. Don't forget that." She says., teary-eyed.
"I won't." I say.
I go back to my room to see that an avox has set out my training uniform for the day.
I get dressed and head towards the living area to find Mum. Luckily, she was in there.
"You ready to go?" I ask.
"Yup. Let's go." Mum says, walking towards the elevator.
The elevator door opens and it turns out Willow, Rye, Maica, and their parents are in there.
Mum and I get in and we all start talking about the training and what to do and what not to do.
We finally get to training room and we walk in.
Everybody was staring at us.
'We weren't late, were we?' I think.
As if Maica could read my mind, she asks, "We weren't late, right?"
Katniss shrugs and everybody follows.
Maica rolls her eyes. "Nevermind, brainlesses, I have to do everything by myself!" She yells, stomping away to a district 3 layout table.
Her action made even more people look at us.
Maica finds a projector, wire, a compass, and a calculator and puts it down on the table, which I may add, is electric.
She takes the projector, places it on a clear space on the wall. She walks back over to the electric table and bends,the wire into the compass, and then connects the other end of the wire to the projector.
She touches her shoe to the electric table and touches the compass with her hand.
With her other hand, she turns on the table. The energy from her shoe, went to her hand on the compass. The energy shocks the compass, and turns on the projector and it says,
'5sp4237_-_261//46'.
She turns off the table and it shuts off everything connected to it.
She quickly types in the combination and presses 'enter'.
"We were not late. We were actually 10 minutes early." She says.
Nobody speaks because they've never seen someone do that before.
Half of the room bursts into applause, while the other half are still in shock. I'm both.
"Okay, tributes." One of the trainers say.
"We are having our first day of training today. You will practice skills and weaknesses both. Try to find people to ally with in the arena. Okay, you may go explore. Mentors, follow me." She finishes.
I walk over towards Maica and start clapping behind her.
She turns around, bowing down.
"Thank you, thank you!!" She says, jokingly.
"Nice job. Can you teach me how to use an axe? I think it would be handy in the arena." I ask.
"Sure. Only if you teach me how to use a trident later." She says. I nod.
"Okay. Let's get started." She says, throwing her axe at the target. Right in the center.
"You hold it like this," She says, putting an axe in my right hand, closing my fingers around it.
"To throw it, you have to pull your arm back horizontally, flip your wrist, and then fling your arm and release." She explains.
I do what she explained and do I hit the target right above Maica's axe.
"Nice for your first try." She says, genuinely.
"I learn from the best." I say, pointing at her.
"Of course, you do." She says, jokingly.
I smile.
"Now, let's go see what you can do with a trident." I say, putting down the axe I had in my hand.
Rye's POV:
We all stand there shocked about what Maica just did.
It was amazing. I don't even know how she did that.
Even district 3 tributes were surprized.
I was walking towards her, when suddenly, Finn comes up behind her and starts clapping. She turns around and bows down, saying something I can't make out.
They start talking and then they walk off to the 'axe throwing' station. She shows him how to hold the axe by closing his hands around the handle.
I start to feel something bubbling inside of me.
I don't know what it is.
I don't think i'm sick, I mean--
"Someone feeling jealous?" Someone asks, cutting my train of thought.
I turn around to see Willow smiling, micheveously.
"How are you not jealous? That's your boyfriend over flirting with my, m-my--" I stutter.
"Your what, Rye?" She says, looking at me for an answer.
"...I don't know, but it's your boyfriend flirting with her." I say, defensively.
"Look at the way they are acting. Purely like they've known each other for years." She says, pointing them out.
I never thought about it that way.
"Okay. I get it now. Thanks, Sis." I say.
"Anything for my little brother." She says, patting my shoulder lightly before walking to another station.
I don't know what I would do without her.
