"I hope you like your jumpsuits! I made sure they weren't too tight, nor too wide." Janette rambled on as we got to the Training Center. I haven't talked to Mitch for over a day, I could see Mitch looking at me sometimes as if to tell me something, but I'd pretend to not see it.

When we got inside, I could see the rest of the tributes waiting for the others to come, I could see the boy from District 7 Jerome, looking at Mitch intently. I never really paid attention to the other tributes like District 9 and 10, 8, or 7. I guess I really thought there were no hope for them.

I could see Jason smiling at me, I smiled back. When I looked at Mitch, I could see him glaring at Jason, and I glared back at Mitch.

"Tributes!" I heard the head trainer shout out, "23 of you will die in battle, and only 1 tribute will succeed. But it's not all about fighting, I want you to pay close attention to my advice for these few days. Also, focus on your survival skills, you can die from infection,deyhidration, OR hunger." He rambled on and on until he was finally done with his little speech.

I looked around at the other weapons, and when I saw the bow section, I immidietly went for them. I saw Jason going for them as well, and little Rachel. "Well, I guess you can say that we both like the same weapon." Jason said getting a black bow. "Yeah." I smiled as I examined the bows. I saw little Rachel get a brown wooden looking one, which in my opinion looked easy for her to handle. That's when a white bow caught my eye, and I picked it.

I saw Jason shoot at the target, and he was really close to hitting the center. I rolled my eyes sarcastically and shot four arrows at four targets, and they were all perfect. I saw Jason gape at me and grin, while I saw Rachel look at me with terrified eyes. When it was her turn, she shot two targets perfectly. She looked up at me to see my reaction, which I admit was impressive for a girl her age to do, and I nodded aprrovingly. I saw her eyes lit up full of hope. She reminded me of my brother.....suddenly my expression changed into depression. I guess it was noticable because Rachel asked me, "What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, you remind me of my little brother." I said smiling. "Oh yeah, I saw him get picked, and your friend over there volunteered." She replied pointing at Mitch, who was busy swinging swords. "Yeah." I said putting my attention back on what I was doing.

That's when I went to try out the small knives. I saw Jett there, who got 1 target right. I came up to the knives, and threw four of them, which landed right in the middle of the targets. Jett looked at me and said, "Man, you're good, better than I am."
"Oh, it's no biggy, you were good too." I said smiling at him. "You're not using me, right?" Jett asked unsurely. "Why would I want to fo that?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Well, that boy over there tried to do that." Jett said pointing at Ty. "Well, I'm not even thinking about that." I said staring into his gray friendly eyes. That's when I saw the girl from district 1, Maria, clapping and saying, "Impressive, so, are you going to join the Career Pack?"
"Sorry, but, no." Jett replied throwing a knife into a target. I didn't know why he refused, but when I looked at Maria, she didn't look trust worthy. "Well, we didn't need you anyway, so Lilac, are YOU going to join? Mitch said he is, and said that his friend Jerome would enter if he got at least an 8 or more, so are you?"
"I'm sorry Maria, but no." I said throwing another knife. "Why NOT." She said in a dangerous voice. "Because, I don't want to get killed in my sleep." I replied, I could hear Jett laugh slightly. "Fine, if you want to be that way." Maria said, turning her back on us. I glared at her, then I saw Mitch and Jerome look at me, clearly they just heard what I said. I rolled my eyes and went focused again. "Hey Lilac." I heard Jett tell me. "What?" I asked. "Want to be allies?" Jett asked me uncertain. "Sure!" I said gleaming. I saw his face turn into a grin, and focused on throwing knives with me.

Author's Note

This took some time to type. xD

I don't know why, but Jett just had to be the nice guy here.

I know what you're thinking, "Aw, why does Rachel have to be so cute in this story?" Well, I just wanted to make this more intense when the games begin. >:3
