Amangela , with her silly blue wig and bright blue lipstick, swept me into a car. When I got in Cato was already there waiting for us. I moved in close to him, so Amangela could sit on the other side of me. I felt like my heart was beating outside of my chest. Even though we trained together we were never this close. The only time we were close was in the first year of training...

I was talking with Samuel about my skills and how I could improve them. Cato was practicing his skills across the room. He threw one of his spears and it bounced off the wall and hit the light over me. Samuel ran and I stood there, frozen. The next thing I knew, I was pushed to the ground and someone landed on top of me. It was Cato!

"When someone tells you to move, Move!" he whispered to me. I giggled a little because of how he said it. We were so close and I think that was when I started having feelings for him...

This reminded me of that day, so close that I could feel his breath on me. I looked at him for a second before he looked out the window, and his eyes were all red and puffy. He must have been crying.

The thought of him crying made me feel so sad. I felt bad as well because I couldn't help him with his problems. I had the same ones. But him crying, I never even thought he was that type of person!

The car ride was only a short five minutes, but it felt like a few days. Being this close made me feel happy even if we didn't talk to each other!

*******************************

The train was very neat. It was beautifully decorated and fully furnished. There were tons of people running around, im guessing getting ready for us.

The first thing was to get to our rooms. My room was just like mine back at home except for the comfort in it. One thing that was different was all of the buttons and dials. They had different ones for clothing, food service, and for the shower! I started to play around with the clothes one, so I could see what choices I had to wear.

A few gowns that were brightly colored, too flashy for everyday cloths. A few skirts and blouses, better but its just not me. Finally I found some nice jeans and t-shirts, just right!

I got dressed very quickly and was looking around at all of the pictures, and designs on the wall. I noticed one area in the bathroom, hidden in the shadows. It had stuff etched into the wall, so I looked closer and saw TONS of tiny names. All the female tributes of district two!!!

I read most of them when I heard Amangela knocking so I quickly added my name "Clove" before I left.

*******************************

We entered a huge room with tons of food laid out on a table. It all looked so good, but I wasnt very hungry. I decided to eat though because I knew that there were NO 'midnight snacks' on this train!

Just as I started to 'dig in' Damien, our mentor, entered followed by Cato. I wondered if they had talked to each other about the games without me! I just pushed it to the back of my mind and focused on the food.

"Are you going to answer or what?" I heard Catos deep voice say. "What? answer what," I said curiously. Everyone started laughing at me! What was the question I didnt even hear anyone say anything! "You must have been in your own world silly! Damien asked if you had any skills," Amangela said with a laugh. "oh, uh, well not one im too good at," I answer with not too much confidence. I know im good with knives, but they dont know that.

I was in deep thought about that question when Cato nudged my arm and said, "Are you kidding me! Not that good! your amazing at throwing knives! Ive seen you hit the center of everything you aim for!" His voice got louder with every sentence. "You have to see this girl with knives! she is crazy amazing!" he said looking at Damien.

"Well what about you!" I say back to him in a cocky way. I knew that he was really good and I had to let Damien know! "He is really strong and he is really good with spears," I say looking at Cato but directing my words to Damien. Cato opened his mouth to say something but couldnt, so he just smiled at me.

"Well it looks like we have some really good tributes this year," Damien said to Amangela. She just nodded in response. "Well you better get some sleep before you arrive at the capital later tonight. But before you go, remember when you get there your stylists will take care of you. Dont resist anything because it will just make it harder on you. They are there to clean you up!"

With that we all leave for our rooms to get some sleep.

It felt ackward to be going to sleep at this time in the day, but I knew I had to. I would probably be up all night with the stylists.
