___♔___

After another half an hour of being alone in the training center, I decided to take a break. But that only meant one thing . . .

Going back to my living quarters.

I had a debate with myself, from different points in my head. I could either

A) Go to my living quarters and face the wrath of my mentors.

Or

B) Stay in the training center until it's time to go into the arena.

But either way, I would lose. So I decided to go back to my living quarters. At first, I thought that it couldn't be that bad. I mean- come on - I just left for around an hour. And I'm almost positive that they knew where I was.

So, with little courage, I left the training center, and went to my living quarters.

When I had arrived, I opened the door slowly, enjoying the quiet that I almost knew wouldn't last. But when I got inside, all hell was let loose.

"Where have you been?" Elaina asks harshly, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Hell." I joke, trying to lighten the mood. Stark, Zach, Heredia, Ross, Elaina, Clove, Cato, Cashmere, Gloss, Enobaria, Brutus, Marvel, and Glimmer were all staring at me. But no one laughs.

"We're being serious, Taylor. You can't just sneak out whenever you want." Stark says angrily. I scoff.

"Whatever. What was I missing that was oh-so-important anyway?" I ask smartly.

"A meeting. With your allies." Heredia fills me in.

"We have plenty of time for meetings later." I mutter. "So did I miss anything important?"

"Not really." Glimmer says, earning a nudge in the ribs by Marvel. The look on Marvel's face tells me that he wants to laugh. I send him a quick wink, then turn my attention over to Heredia, Stark, and Elaina.

"Then I'm sure I didn't miss anything." I look to Zach. "Besides, I had a reason for why I left, and I'm sure you've been informed on that." I glare.

"Yes, we... overheard the argument." Heredia says lowly, looking to the floor.

"I figured." I roll my eyes. "So are we going to get to the training center for our training or are we going to talk about non-imporant topics?"

"Oh-yes. All of you tributes head to the bottom floor. We'll meet you after your training is over." She says, shooing us away. I almost huff as I walk out of the room and into the elevator, with Cato, Clove, Zach, Glimmer, and Marvel following me.
