Fannia, Placidus, Saffra, Amethyst, Leather, Marvel, and I sit on a giant round white couch in the main living room. We await mine and Marvel's training scores. my knees are pressed to my chest, and Marvel slouches over with his hands to his mouth.
I close my eyes as Caesar Flickerman begins to speak.
"Okay, everyone. This is a very important moment for these tributes. They are to be scored from one to twelve on their training. Who is the most skilled, who might win, and who has no chance. Lets see" he says in an unusually serious tone.
"We will be starting with district one of course as always, so that is Marvel Sanford. with a score of... Nine." Leather then pats him on the back, "Good work, kid."
"And now we have Glimmer Belcourt!" with a score also, of nine"
Fannia gives a small hug "Congratulations, sweetheart."
I smile. Yet I stay intent on the screen, Both Cato and Clove received a score of ten, lucky.
The scores of the tributes weren't all that impressive until we reached Katniss.
"And now, Katniss Everdeen, with a score of, eleven." And the screen goes black, and I sink into the couch. Eleven? How? How is that possible? All of us frown. We're toast, now we will have no sponsors. everybody is obsessed with her,' girl on fire' 'she got an eleven!' 'love her outfit.' I mean come on!
Placidus walls over to me and grabs my hands and smiles. "I'm so proud of you darling, it was a lovely score, really."
"Well it wasn't an eleven" I say in a sad voice. I almost feel like he would have said 'you'll get it next time." There is no next time, this is the hunger games.
"Look on the bright side, your interviews are tonight!"
I guess that's a way to recover from this, to win back my sponsors.
"Okay" I say. "Let's get ready."
