The Starcrossed Lovers from D2

Chapter 16

I wake up feeling still tired and  i know it will be a long day, today we are gonna start talking about the interview, i basically have until 3 o'clock then my team will help me get ready, more like torture me to get ready. I can already roll my eyes at the thought. I didn't get a lot of sleep, only 2 hours. After Enobaria and I chatted a little, i decided to go back and sleep with Cato. It was comforting. When i woke up a few minutes ago, i didn't see Cato so he probably is eating breakfast right now. 

I get out of my bed and go to my bathroom to fix my bathroom necessities. I just put my hair up in a ponytail and brush my teeth, since I'm really tired, i just slowly walk towards the dining table, ready for the boring talks, i just want to skip to the training with my knives already. But i need the food first.

I circle the table and get myself some cereal looking things that taste better than our plain cereal, some raisins, grapes, i get a toast and then i sit down and start munching on the raisins first. Nobody is really saying anything at the table because they noticed how tired i am and i don't think anyone is in the mood when it's only 6 am and we'll be killed in a couple of days, i think grimly.

I sit down on the blue soft chair and sigh, i wish i'd never been reaped. I eat in silence as my stomach grumbles even while i'm chewing. I look up once in a while and everybody seems tired as well, except for 1 person, of course. She always has to be alerted with that good manner and all, and she can't help but stare with her powdered wide eyes when Enobaria eats viciously at her food. I giggle inside my head, you should see the hungry districts then, i thought.

"Clove?"

"Yeah?" I turn my head to the voice, apparently, Enobaria has finished her breakfast, already??

"When you're done, come in to my room and we'll discuss your interview, hurry up thouh, we have lots to talk about." She said, not caring one bit as she looked at her nails. Then she left to go do who knows what.

I ate my food at a normal pace, trying to annoy her since she told me to hurry. I don't want to talk, i want to train, i want to be prepared and have the most knowledge about it possible, i wanna train until i have every skill done. But nooo, we just have to be ladies, sit through a stupid interview where people will forget it the same night because they're too busy with their lame businesses.

I finish my breakfast, and walk to Enobaria's room, not wanting her to wait any longer, the faster i come there, the faster this will end.

I open the door silently and i guess it was the wrong moment since i don't see her in her room. I guess she went to take a shower? Ugh, might as well go to the Training Centre then.

Where is Cato? I saw him while i was eating breakfast but when i went to Enobaria's room and came back, he's not here? He's in his room maybe? I go over to his room and open the door, expecting him to be there, but like Enobaria, he's not there either. Thats weird, where can he be? As i thought that, a person close the bathroom door and walk out in fresh clothings.

Cato.

His hair is everywhere basically, spiked up, sideways and down. It's half dry but still a bit wet. He looks surprised as he sees me but soon walks over and carry me to his bed.

"Cato, what are you doing...?" I ask suspiciously, what is he trying to do?

"Can't i just have fun for one moment?" He said smiling. Aww look at that smile. But my smile soon vanish when he brings his arms down and tickles me!

Oh god. Help.

"I! Need to-" I try to speak but-

"I need to go-" I struggle. This is. Unbearable.

"Cato Hadley!" I shout.

That got his attention and he looks like a little boy that just got caught taking candy.

"I need to go train now! Wanna come with?" I asked.

"Oh, right. Yeah, uhmm.. Little problem.." He mumbled.

"Whats the problem?" I asked.

"Well, my injured hand, i can't really hold my sword." Cato sighed.

"I can hold it for ya.." I wiggled my eyebrows and smirk.

"No, not that sword, oh my god Clove." He said, horrified.

"I know, i know, well i guess i'll see you later then, and you should do something about that hand, you won't be able to compete then." I laughed.

"Alright, byee troublemaker." He said, then kissed me.

I kiss him back and it feels amazing, and i just want this everyday, him and me. But these games and killings. They're always in the way. We kiss for a little longer and then i realize that i need to go train now. Silly me. I break aprt and smile at him.

He smiles back and i go.

On my way to the training centre i get stuck on an elevator with some other districts, which is awkward if you ask me because we're gonna kill each other soon. I look down at my feet until we reach to the training centre where we all go off.

Talk about awkward..

But when i step inside the Training Centre, all i can concentrate on are these weapons and skills.

I look around, maybe i should train combat because I'm quite small.

I go over to the hand to hand combating skills and the trainer there teaches me about the posture, the different punches, kicks and moves. He does it both theoretically and practically so i'll know how to handle it. We start a fight with different istuations and soon enough, i know the basics. I hope that i'll learn more later.

Then i go to my knife section, i love to go here but there's no fun when you know you can hit the bullseye. So to take it interesting, the trainer lends me a blindfold and at first i send the knife flying towards the target's sides, sometimes i miss, but about half an hour later, i can get a decent hit like the stomach, shoulders and cheeks. I don't know what use i can have for this because we wont be blindfolded in the arena, but it might boost my skills.

Then i go over to the herbs and plants section, i see a lot of small dostricts lining up here, i guess since they're not so good at fighting, survival skills are important. It's gonna take a little while until it's my turn so in the mean time, i look at other people, and see how they're doing.

District 5 girl is in the combat bit and she's doing quite well actually but she's taller than me so that's an asvantage, but then i can always hit the lower parts that she doesn't pay much attention to. The district 7 guy is throwing axes which is pretty lethal but at least they don't have a chainsaw. He's decent at it, not too bad, but not the best either, Johanna can easily beat him with one swipe. I probably wont meet him after the bloodbath but never say never.

Marvel is on to the traps section, he's learning how to make those net traps thats hidden under leaves and it seems like he's struggling a bit, so i'll be careful with camouflaging places. I guess he's too experience with spears now. Then i glance over at Glimmer, what kind of name is that even. But I'm not here to know their names, I'm here to kill them, she's practicing the weights but when she throws them, it hits the bunch of spears but about 3 fell, so i guess she doesn't have much strength. Cato can easily kill her if he needs to.

"Hello???!" A person snaps behind me.

I guess i've been very lost in my thoughts.

"What??" I ask annoyed.

"Its your turn, are you blind??" She said.

What a little b. It's my turn though so i save her face in my head, i'll just kill you first then.

I smile fakely at her, roll my eyes then go in front.

Before i go inside a room full of plants and a trainer, i hear a bunch of people gathering around her asking is she crazy and does she have a deathwish? Well they're right, apparently she does and I'm not afraid to grant her that.

I open the door and walk in.
