Chapter 10- Training

Joey's POV

I was the same drill as last year. But on the last training day something amazing happened.

Shane: Psst. I think someone wants to talk to you.

I looked to where he was pointing. It was Mitch and Jerome. The were Careers. Why would they care about us.

One of them signaled me over to them. I released Shane hand and nervously walked over to them.

Mitch: Joey right?

Joey: Uh, yeah. And you're Mitch and Jerome...

Jerome: Yeah. So we've been watching you train these past few days.

Joey: Really?

That's a bit creepy. Oh well.

Mitch: Yeah. So we were wondering if you wanted to team.

Joey: Me?

Jerome: Yeah.

Joey: And Shane?

Their faces dropped. Do they think he's useless?

Jerome: No.

Joey: Well then no deal.

Mitch: What?! Why not?!

Joey: Shane and I are a package deal. Plus he's really helpful. So goodbye.

I turn and walk away. I take Shane's hand again. He leans down and kisses my cheek.

Shane: So? What did they want?

Joey: To team.

Shane: And?

Joey: I said no. They thought you were useless which isn't true at all.

Shane: You know you could just team with them.

Joey: And leave you? Heck no!

He just laughed. We continued what we were doing until we were all called into a room to wait for our names to be called. I sat silently next to Shane.

When Mitch and Jerome walked by the gave me a desperate look. I didn't say or do anything. If they wanted to team they should team with Shane too.

Eventually it was just us. Shane turned towards me. He held my hands.

Shane: I'm next. Good luck.

Joey: You too, but why do you seem worried?

Shane: I don't know what I'm going to do.

Joey: Well at least try to top what you did last time!

He laughed. I smiled. They called his name. He leaned in and kissed me. I was surprised. We weren't on kissing terms but he still kissed me. I quickly kissed back but he pulled away leaving me wanting more.

Shane's POV

As I walked off I smirked. He wanted more. Too bad. But I did too. Oh well.

I got inside and all eyes were on me. They remember me.

They hate me.

I just look around and decide what I should do. Impress them? Ok then.

I grabbed a few things then walked over to a flag. Oh they'll hate me after this!

Joey's POV

Instead of calling me a Peacekeeper dragged me into the room. I'm guessing it has to do something with what Shane just did. I silently smirk to myself.

I pick up my bow again.

Shane's POV

Joey runs in with a smile. Chad and Sam aren't happy though.

Joey: What did you do?

Shane: Oh, I showed off my fire building skills.

He cracked up.

Sam: Burning a Capital flag is very rude and disrespectful!

We both crack up again. Even Chad is smiling a bit.

Shane: Who cares? It doesn't even matter. We're about to die in the Games.

Sam: You convinced me of that last time but you both managed to get out safe. I have the same feeling about this time...

My eyes flicker over to Chad. Did he tell her? He slightly shakes his head. She doesn't know. Then what is she referring too?

Joey: Hey come here Shane.

I look up and see Joey running off to our rooms. I follow him to his room. He shuts to the door the grabs my neck. He pulls me in for a kiss.

I can't believe he did that without asking me! Well I guess we both got over whatever shit we were so worked up about. I kissed back and pushed Joey to the bed. He breaks the kiss and pulls me into bed with him. he cuddles into my chest.

Joey: I think you topped it.

I laugh knowing exactly what he means.
