*Four days later*


Today is the individual assessments. I'm really hoping to get a 12, but no one has ever gotten that, but that doesn't mean I can't. I feel like I've prepared myself for this, the work is done, now it's all mental. 

I go down to the usual training center with Cato. He seems so confident for it. Of course he is, he's Cato. 

Glimmer gets called in, she's walks with her blond pigtails bouncing, I rolled my eyes. We wait about 7 minutes, then Marvel is called in. I'll be next. I'm preparing myself.

I get called in. This is the time I've been waiting for. 

"Good luck," Cato said.

I nod at him, "you too," I say, then turn around to walk into the training center.

It's more calm. There's only me in the training center, with the game makers. 

"Clove Sevina, District 2!" I yell out at the game makers.

"Your seven minutes start now," said one of the female game makers.

This is the seven minutes to prove to the game makers that I am going to win.

I turn around and pick up a few knives. I throw them at the targets and they all land dead- center. Like usual. Then I go over to the hand to hand combat area and start doing some tricks until my seven minutes are up. Hopefully it will be good enough to get a 12. 

Once my seven minutes are done, I walk out of the training center with my head held high. Cato goes in right after I walk out.

I walk up to Enobaria and Brutus. 

"How did you do?" Enobaria asked.

"Good," I said.

"Great, we'll see how Cato does." Brutus said.

Once Cato is done he walks out of the training center with his head up. 

"How did you do?" Brutus asked.

"Awesome! Couldn't have been better," Cato said.

I rolled my eyes has Brutus gave Cato a high five and Enobaria as well when I just got 'great'.

Later today we will see the scores. I know I did my best and whatever the score is, at the interviews I'll just act confident if it's a bad score. I bet it won't be a bad score though.

*A few hours later*

In a few minutes they will announce the tribute scoring for the individual assessments. 

I think I did good. But probably not as good as Cato. I hear the anthem playing on the t.v.

I run over to the T.V. There is Enobaria, Brutus and Cato all sitting down. When I stop running, I trip over my feet and go flying into Cato. He catches me though. 

"I'm sorry," I said.

"It's fine, there is no need to apologize," He said, he started to blush!

I get myself out of Cato's arms as soon as possible while Enobaria and Brutus and Pearl are watching us. So is Steph and Cato's stylist that I can't remember the name for the life of me. 

Cesar says Marvel and Glimmer's scores. Glimmer scored a seven and Marvel scored a nine. Our scores are up next. I am almost shaking.

"Clove Sevina, score of 10," He says.

I am so happy with that score. 

Cato's score is up next.

"Cato Hadley, score of 10," He said. 

Both Enobaria and Brutus are happy. 

The tributes from 3 both score a 4. Azora scores a 8. Her district partner scores a 3. Both from 5 score a 5. The district 6 tributes both score a 4. The district 7,8,9,10 tributes all score in between a 3 and a 5.

Rue, the girl tribute scores a seven and the boy tribute Thresh scores a 9.

Maybe we can trade Glimmer for Rue.

Then comes district 12. 

That Peeta boy, scored an 8. Not bad. The girl however is a different story.

"Katniss Everdeen, score of..." Cesar was saying, "11!" He said.

I was so shocked. I didn't even hear Cesar wrapping it up, I am so mad. I go to my room and find a knife. I start throwing it around. I hear a loud door slam. That's probably Cato.

I really wonder what she did to get a score like that. No one has ever scored an 11. And you'd expect it to be one of the more rich districts such as district one, two and four. But the fact she's from district 12 makes me angry. 

I let out my anger for another hour until I get called for dinner.

No one says a word at the table. Once dinner is over I just want to get ready for bed already. Tomorrow I'll get 'Capitol Training' for the interviews. I'll be with Enobaria for 2 hours, Pearl for an hour and Steph for 2 hours. 5 hours of Capitol Training. By the end I'll probably want to punch Pearl. She has a very punch able face.

I'll think tonight I'll be able to sleep no problem. Especially after how I let out my anger.
