Today is the first day of training. We will have 3 mornings and 2 afternoons to train. The third afternoon is for our private session with the gamemakers. We will show them our talents and they will give us a score from 1 to 12. 1 is the lowest, and 12 is the highest. No one in hunger games history has ever scored a 12 or a 1. I get up, brush my teeth and hair, get dressed and head to breakfast. After I eat, Peeta and I go watch the chariots rides from last night on tv. I think about what Cinna told me. It's so weird. I have to tell Peeta. "Hey Peeta lets go to the roof." I grab his hand and there we go. We get there and I tell him. He looks surprised, but then he smiles. He hugs me, and tells me wha a great thing this is. And he's right. After my father died, we were very poor, but when I turned 13, every month a small amount of money came in. We never knew from where, but I do now. Cinna, or I guess I should call him dad, was sending it in to support us. It's 9:45 so Peeta and I head down to training. In the morning we work on the knot, fire, and camouflage stations. Then we have a lunch break. In the afternoon we work on food and water and shelter. At 4 we go back to our floor. I shower and then go to Peeta's room for 45 minutes before dinner. We talk, and then we head to dinner. After dinner, we snuggle, and fall asleep in my room. When I wake up, I see Peeta is gone, and I hear a shower running in my bathroom. So I get up and join him. We eat breakfast, and then go to training which is at 9 this morning. In the morning session we throw spears, make snares, and practice climbing ropes and work on our strength. in the afternoon, we do weight lifting, archery, and whatever else they had left. Peeta only used the small weights and I pretended to do poorly in archery so no one would suspect us. We go eat dinner, and repeat the same process as last night, except this time in his room. We haven't even much of haymitch, Effie, Maddy (their daughter), or Cinna and Portia, who is Peeta's stylist. I wonder what they are up to. When we wake up, Peeta's tv is flashing, and I realize there is mandatory viewing. President snow appears on screen, and starts to talk. "I have seen how many of the tributes this year are in love." It's true. There's: marvel and glimmer from 1, Cato and clove from 2 (they're already married and have a little girl at home) finch and Ashton from 5, and me and Peeta. "I have decided that 2 tributes may leave the arena alive as long as they are from the same district. That will be all. Thank you, and may the odds be ever in your favor." Peeta and I look at each other in disbelief. We can both live. We celebrate, but remember that we have training at 8 this morning and it's 7 already. At 7:45 we go down to the training area. Today Peeta and I are just going to review. At 12, we are released for lunch. At 1, they start to call our names. I'm the last one to go. When I get there, none of the gamemakers are paying attention. I shoot a couple times to warm up. Then I get started. I have a helper throw little birdies into the air, and I shoot them down. Only 5 gamemakers are paying me attention. I see a roasted pig, and I shoot the apple out of its mouth. I then leave. When I get back, we are to eat dinner and then watch the interview where our scores will be revealed to all. The scores are like:
1
Marvel- 10
Glimmer-10
2
Cato-11
Clove-9

I got an 11 and Peeta a 10!!!!! We could go home!!! We celebrate with cake, and then Peeta and I go to bed. Tomorrow we have training with Effie and haymitch before our interviews tomorrow night. Then the next morning at 10 we go into the arena. I have Effie first. She shows me how to walk in heels and long dresses, which is hard. Then she shows me how to smile, sand talk politely. I like Effie. Even if she is Capitolian, she is a very sweet lady, and her and haymitch live in the victors village, so if Peeta and I win, we will be neighbor with them. We take a break to eat lunch, and then I have 4 hours with haymitch. He helps me with the interview part, and we're done before I know it. Haymitch is ok too I guess, he's just kinda snarky, but in a way, he's like the father I never thought I'd see again. At 4 we are given to our prep teams to have us ready by 6 for our interviews. We each have 5 minutes for our interview. So we should be done around 8. I get my hair, makeup, and nails done, and then I'm off to Cinna to get dressed. I'm in a fitted black dress, and when I lift my arms, 'wings' come out. It's a Mockingjay. Just like the pin he gave me right before he "died". "Thanks Dad" I tell him, and he kisses me on the cheek. I realize who helped snow realize that there should be 2 victors. Cinna. He's showing Panem that Katniss Everdeen will not play the games by snows rules. Ima rebel, and just like the Mockingjay, I was a mistake. It was A mistake for snow to put me into the games. (AUTHORS NOTE sorry guys that made no sense but I had to find a way to make Katniss the Mockingjay without her pulling out berries since the rules have already been changed and they will stay changed. Plus, I need Cinna to die still. 😫😫Sorry guys. Bear with me, love y'all, thanks so much for reading!!!)
It's my turn for the interview. It pretty much goes like this.
C: so, are you prepared for the games
K: yes, Ceaser, I am
C: good. The Capitol must be a change from 12. What's the coolest thing we have to offer?
K: I really like the lamb stew
C: oh yes, one of my favorite meals. I hope it doesn't show!!
K:it doesn't.
C: so, you and Peeta are an item from what we saw at the reaping
K: oh yes we're in love
C:sweet. And we saw how you volunteered to save Prim. You must love her more than anything.
K: I do. She, Peeta, and mom are the only 3 things I'm sure I love. *looks out to Cinna and mouths "I love you too Daddy"*
C: so your outfit is quite amazing. Stand up and give us a twirl.
I do, and flames lick the bottom of the dress. I stop, and hold out my arms.
C: it's a Mockingjay.
I nod, and I can see in his eyes he knows what this means. The buzzer goes off. Ceaser bids be good night and wishes me luck. Then Peeta's interview starts. They share jokes, and then Peeta is asked to tell our love story. "Well, it's was the first day of school. Her hair was in 2 braids, and she was wearing a red dress. We had music class, and the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Her hand shot straight up, and she sang. All of the mockingjay a outside the window fell silent. From then on I called her my little Mockingjay. Then, one day her father died. A couple months later, she was outside of my families bakery, starving. I saw her, and I burnt bread for her. My mother hit me, and told me to feed it to the pigs. So I walked outside, checked to make sure no one was watching, and ran to her. I kissed her, and said ' my name is Peeta and I've been in love with you since we were 5. I want you to take this bread, so you don't starve.' She looked like she was thinking, and then she asked me if I believed in love at first sight. I told I did, cause that's how I fell in love with her. She told me she was glad because she said when she looked at me right then, she knew she was in love with me. She kissed me, and even though we were just 11, we state to date." "Wow" Ceaser says. Peeta's time is up now, and he wishes him luck too. The it is over, and we are to go to bed. In the morning, we will be in the arena.AUTHORS NOTE:
Hey guys!!!!!! That was a super long chapter!!!!! So what did you think. There were some changes, and I'm sorry if you didn't like it, but this is how I had to do it. But, there are two books left in this series, so it will be a lot different. I hope you guys like it, cause my college is about to start soon, plus I have volleyball, and I play guitar, flute, piano, trumpet, and sax. So I have to keep my skills up!!!!
