She came here with me.

Chapter 6

I get called over to dinner. I sit down at the table and wait for Cato. He sits right across from me. Pearl sits right beside Cato's mentor Brutus. My mentor comes, it's Enobaria. Thank god it was her, she is one of my favorite victors from the games. The other one is Lyme but I'm still glad it's Enobaria. Enobaria sits right beside me.

"Cato, Clove, these are your mentors. Brutus and Enobaria!" Pearl yells.

"Hi, nice to meet you guys," I say.

"Nice to meet you," Cato says.

"Hi!" Enobaria says.

"Hello," Brutus says with no expression. 

"So, Cato, Brutus will be your mentor, and for you Clove, Enobaria is yours!" She yells.

"Okay," I say.

"Any advice?" Cato asked.

"Don't die kid, and don't be making any friendships, there's only one survivor, and it's going to be one of you," Brutus said harshly. 

"Well, me and Clove are already friends," Cato said.

"Well, there goes your chances of winning," Brutus said.

"Brutus, it's fine if they have a friendship. You and your ex-girlfriend went to the games together when you guys were still dating." Enobaria said.

"Yeah, but then we got to the final two, and you know there is only one winner," he said. 

"Yeah, but I wouldn't mind if Cato and Clove have a friendship, it's nice for them to have one. Unlike after the games, you unfriended all of your friends except for me." Enobaria said.

"Well, Enobaria please tell me, if these two get to the final two, what do you think will happen?" He said.

"They'll try to win, and one will kill the other." She said.

"Exactly, so if they have a friendship, what will happen?" Brutus asked.

"They'll refuse to kill each other," Enobaria said.

"Then?" Brutus asked.

"You know Brutus, I'll try to find a way for them to win together. Mind your business, mentor Cato, and I'll mind my own business and help Clove, alright?" Enobaria said.

"Okay fine," Brutus said.

"Let's have some food now, can the avox please bring us some food?" Pearl said in her chessy capitol voice. 

2 avox girls came in with some food. They gave us our food. Some roast beef, with mashed potatoes and fruit and vegetables. 

"So, what are you guys good at?" Brutus asked.

"Spears, swords. Mostly swords though," Cato said. 

"Perfect," Brutus said.

After a few seconds, Enobaria broke the silence.

"What about you?" She asked me.

"Throwing knives," I said.

"She's the best at it actually," Cato said.

"What do you mean?" Brutus asked.

"Because she was so good at it, she got moved up to train with the 16-17-year-olds, instead of the 14-15-year-olds in the training center," Cato said. 

That is true. At the age of 10,they realized I was not getting pushed. So they moved me up. 

"That's just perfect Clove!" Pearl yelled.

"Thanks," I said.

We finish eating our dinner, Pearl wants us o go to bed as soon as possible. Tomorrow we'll be in the Capitol. Tomorrow is the tribute parade. That's when I'll see the tributes for the first time in person. Tomorrow I'll get to see if Glimmer is really stupid as I think she is. 

I go to my room and brush my teeth and change into comfy clothes. 

I lay down in my bed and stare at the wall. I am so bored and plus I can't fall asleep. I just start making up a dream, like what Kate told me to do when you can't fall asleep. I make up a dream of Kate, Willow, and I. When we were all together again. I start to cry a little bit. I miss Kate so much, and what would happen if I end up like her? Willow won't have me. My mom will just put her up for adoption and she'll kill herself.  That gives me even more motivation to go home. Then eventually I forced myself to sleep.
