The Hunger Games: Fallen Heart

Training

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I probably wont be on to much to update because drama club is starting, so I wont update at much - Still Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to the sun shining brightly, and Amangela staring at me. I jumped a little bit when I saw her because I didnt expect her to be there. "Oh, Im sorry honey! Did I startle you," She asked me in her capital accent. "Just a little but its okay," I say rubbing my eyes. "Well you better get up and ready! Training starts today," She tells me running out my door.

Of course another training! Only if we were allowed to tell them that we already had training! Oh well! I told myself as I got ready. I had to dress in a stupid suit thing, with a number "2" on the back for my district. As I looked at myself in the mirror I said, "Just like my other training. The knives!" With that I decided to go meet everyone for breakfast.

The food that we had was amazing! Eggs, bacon, sausage, and all other types of breakfast foods! Once we were all done we talked buisness. "Okay, so I know your strengths and you know them. We dont want others to," Damien told Cato and I. At first I was confused until he said, "You should work on what you DONT know, because if the others know your strengths they WILL use it against you!" His last words really cleared my confusion. We talked like this for about an hour more, then we had to get going. Training was about to start. I WAS nervous!

On the elevator ride I sensed that Cato really was nervous as well. He kept glancing at me and looking everywhere else. I was doing the same and I couldnt help myself. I saw how large the other tributes were before! The doors opened and I saw a small crowd in the center of the room so I went there as well. Just like Cato and I, tributes filed out of the elevator and joined the group. District 12 tributes were the last to show up.

"Okay, now nobody is to train in hand to hand combat with any other tributes in case of injury. We connot afford to lose one of you before the games, so..." The lady in front of us started saying. I zoned out after that as she kept talking. All I could do was examine all of the other tributes. They were all so much bigger than me and had so much more muscle than I had. But I had one thing they didnt, Cato to protect me.

My eyes met Peeta's and I could see the worry and confusion in them. He was just as nervous and scared as me! I could tell! When Katniss saw that our eyes made contact for a little she nudged Peeta in the side. She liked him in a way, but not in the same way that he liked her! How am I so good at seeing love in other people but me!!! I could not answer that question ever!

I was being pulled from the crowd when I came to. "I think we should stick together and work on stuff. How about you," Cato said to me. "Yeah, me too! I think it will help us out," I said back to him smiling. We both started to walk to the station that shows you what foods you can and cant eat.

Cato and I both learned a lot, but I wanted to get my hands on knives!!! The next station we went to was hand in hand combat. This station was just for me because it was Cato's strong point. I was happy to get my hands on some kind of weapon, because I felt safer with one! We walked around for the rest of the time trying out different stations that we didnt know. We ended the day with knives, for Cato of course!

As he was practicing I took time to see what others were doing. Many of them were at combat stations, except for one district. District twelve. They were practicing climbing or something. Katniss went first and I realized that she was really good. I turned around when someone tapped my shoulder, it was Cato. He was standing with a tall blonde girl and a tall dark haired boy. District one tributes, Glimmer and Marvel.

Glimmer was twirling her hair and giggling at EVERYTHING that Cato said! It got me so mad because it seemed like Cato didnt mind her flirting with him! Great! Someone to get in my way and slow us down in the games! "Hey look! District twelves guy isnt good at climbing. Ha," Marvel said smirking and pointing in the direction I was looking before.

Peeta hung upside down for a little before giving up and falling onto his back. Cato, Marvel, and Glimmer all started to laugh. I couldnt help but smirk, trying to hold back my laugh. Katniss ran over to him as she looked in our direction. Then she said something to Peeta, who seemed questionable about what she said. He slowly stood up and started walking to this huge weight. No way he was going to lift that! He looked so weak!

He went to lift it at first and it fell to the ground. He struggled for a little bit, as we all started to laugh at him knowing he couldnt do it. Soon enough Peeta picked up the ball and walked to the plat form. I was surprized that he could even lift it!  Our smirks got a little smaller now that we saw him lift it. There is no way he can throw it I was thinking and im pretty sure Cato, Marvel, and Glimmer were thinking the same thing. Our smirks dropped and and our eyes got wider as Peeta swung the ball around him once, and threw it really far. He was very strong! We all looked at him approvingly and kept working on some skills.

The next two days went almost the same, except for Peeta showing off. That was just on the first day. We walked around to different stations trying things that we didnt know, and avoiding the stuff we did know. We stuck with Glimmer and Marvel for the rest of training. We definately had them as allies in the games now! Cato didnt even talk to me once during these last two days, even when we werent training. It was Glimmer's fault.

Glimmer was all over him for the last two days. Twirling her hair, giggling at EVERYTHING, standing really close to Cato. It was getting really annoying, and Cato didnt do anything to stop it. Marvel did though. He always tried to get Glimmer to talk to him or help him with something. I could tell that it was annoying him as well. There were so many love stories in this place! Me and Cato, Peeta and Katniss, and Marvel and Glimmer!

When the training days were over we all said our goodbyes and goodlucks before Cato and I entered the elevator. Right before we stepped in Glimmer called Cato over and it looked like she was going to whisper something to him. Instead she kissed him. KISSED HIM!!! Before I did! Rage flushed over me and I hoped you couldnt tell, like you could with Marvel. His face got red and you could see his jaw clench. I smiled at them as the doors closed.

"What was that," I said to Cato trying not to sound mean. "Nothin," is all that he said. I said in a higher voice trying to not show any anger, "Nothing? Im sure that was something! Why wont you tell me! I am your friend right?" The rest of the ride was silent and I got no answer to my question during the ride. As we left Cato looked at me and said, "Its none of your buisness. Just leave me alone and out of your life okay! Its my life, so just butt out!" His eyes were stone cold when he looked into mine, not sparkling like they use to. With that he walked away down the hall.

I needed fresh air so I went out on the balcony, and I remembered when Cato brought me out here. I miss the old Cato...
