Broken- A Hunger Games Fanfic

Chapter 5: Training (Prim's POV)

I woke up in the morning to Effie banging on the door, which made me jump 2 feet off the bed. I opened my eyes and saw that Gunner was laying next to me, glaring at the door. I suddenly remembered what had happened last night... Hopefully nothing happens. I groaned and started to get out of bed when suddenly Gunner pulled me back onto the bed. "Wait" he said in a teasing voice. "What?" I asked, trying to hold back a smile. He made me face him and he pressed his lips against mine. The only reason we stopped is because Effie yelled through the door: "PRIMROSE! COME ON! IT IS A BIG DAY! WE NEED TO GO TO THE TRAINING CENTER!" I heard her scream through the door. "I'm getting dressed!" I called back, stalling. "YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO GET READY" she shouted. I groaned and got up. I got some clothes from the dresser and went into the bathroom to get dressed. I put on a light pink and lilac floral tank top and a pair of pink gym shorts and lilac sneakers. I pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail to get my long blonde hair out of my face. I walked out of the bathroom and Gunner was looking out in the hallway sneakily. "I'm going across the hall to my room so Effie won't think I was in here" he whispered, kissing me briefly. "Ok" I smiled, kissing him briefly back. As soon as I saw his door close, I walked out of my room and into the dining room of the floor. "Good morning Primrose" Effie smiled. "Good morning Effie and you can call me Prim" I smiled politely back. "Ok then Prim, sit sit. It's time for breakfast" Effie patted the chair beside her. I walked over and sat down at the table. "Nice outfit" Effie grinned. "Oh thank you" I replied. "Where is Gunner?" Haymitch asked. "Oh, I think I heard him in his room" I replied. "Okay, I'll go get him" he said, standing up. I looked down at my plate that had eggs and cinnamon toast with apple juice. Effie laughed. "Go on dearie, eat up" she said. I took her up on that offer and ate the delicious food.

--------TRAINING CENTER------------

Gunner and I walk into the training center and see all of the other tributes. Most of them aren't too strong looking, but the Careers are going to be the death of me- I just know it. I walk over to the climbing station when I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn around, scared of who I might see but it was  a little girl who was around my age. "Hi, I'm Rue and I'm from district 11. You're Primrose right?" she smiled nicely. "Yes, I'm Primrose. You can call me Prim if you want, everyone does" I smiled back. "Ok Prim. Listen, I know the games haven't started yet but I was wondering if you wanted to ally with me" she asked, her brown eyes sparkling. "Sure, do you know how to climb?" I asked. "Oh yeah, I used to climb trees to get apples back home ALL the time" she grinned. She was a really pretty girl and she seemed so nice. "Great. And I can help you learn first aid. My mom is a nurse back in my district and I helped her heal people" I grinned back. "Great, because I don't know how to treat myself for anything, but I CAN catch food and hide really well" she said. We trained together and taught each other about different things until it was time to stop training for the day. We hugged each other and she got out of the elevator on the 11th floor and I got off on the 12th floor. I was almost to my room when I felt like I was going to throw up. I stopped walking, sat down on the floor, put my head to my knees and pressed my hands into the cold ground-something my mom had taught me to do whenever I felt like I was going to throw up and I didn't think I could get to a bathroom or garbage can. I stayed there and breathed deeply until I heard Effie come up to me and say "are you ok dearie? You don't look so good, come here" she helped me up. "I'm fine. Really, I just feel like I am going to-" I threw up on the floor. "Yeah. That" I said weakly. "Let's get you to the nursing floor dearie" Effie said, leading me to the elevator.
