Clato: a love story

Let the real training begin

Me and Cato walk up to seats in the place where they tell us who gets to go to the training place. We're sat down and look around. It's massive! I never knew this could be this big. It's bigger than the school! Wow. If I were to bet, I would be able to fit all the districts in here! I sit back in my seat hoping that me and Cato get chosen. I'm ready to fight and kill. I have knives though. My father always says that I am one with the knives. I look at the woman reading out the results.
"And the people who are going into training is drumroll please.......... Cato Hadley and Clove Kentwell!"
Me and Cato look at each other as if shocked.
He knew we were going to get picked. We get up and walk to the front. There's a lot of steps so it took us a while. Finally, we're at the bottom and the lady tells us to go in the back. I look at Cato. He smirks at me and I smirk back. We're lead into two separate rooms where we get our training clothes on. It says district 2 on the back with my name. On the shoulder it says 2. I bet Cato's is the same. I really like them, they're comfortable and good to train in. One of the ladies comes to check to see if I'm ready, I follow her to a big training room. She guides me over to the weaponry station. She tells me everything I need to know.

I see Cato walk in and he walks over to me to grab a sword.
"Hey shortie, what you picking?" He says.
"Stop calling me shortie and I'm picking the knives", I laugh.
"Ooooo the knives. Never knew you could use them", Cato jokes.
"Of course I can use a knife!" I reply.
"Alright, I'm just saying", Cato says.
We walk over to the stations where we are meant to go. I see Cato getting ready to use his knife. He uses it. He is really good with a knife! Wow! I see the knife throwing station available so I walk over to it and get in it before anyone else. I get in my position as the targets move and get into their position. I'm ready to throw. I throw a knife with my right hand and then with my left and then I use my turn around skill to hit the middle target. I hit all three targets. I turn around and everyone is staring at me. I catch Cato's eye and he smiles at me. I walk over to Cato.
"Nice knife throwing skills you got there shortie", Cato says.
I smile at him as we're guided to the climbing station.
We carry on training for 5 years and then.. it's time for The Hunger Games.
