Chapter 7

P.O.V Tris

It's a couple of days after the interviews. We have 2 days until we have to go into the arena. We've trained a bit. Today we are going to get our training scores. I don't know yet I want to do for the game makes. Probably throwing knives. I have some small ideas. I also want to let see how fast I can make fire. My record is 30 seconds. Yes, that's really really fast. Around 4:00 PM The training will take place.  Today the tributes can just meet each other, hang out in their apartments. At 3:00 everyone needs to be downstairs at the training hall. I decide to hang out in the apartment until 2:00 PM. I watch a bit of television. There is even a small swimming pool. Rud says that just 5 apartments have it. I decide to practice my swimming skills. You never know how much water there is in the arena. One small problem. I don't have a bathing suit, but then I see in my closet that there is a bathing suit even in my size! 

I went swimming for an hour or 2. It felt really relaxing. I had some think time, time to think about being allies with Tobias and Al, time to think about home, about my family, my friends. Around 11:00 AM I put my training clothes on and did my hair in a ponytail. Then we had lunch. Zeke asked me some things about the swimming pool. After lunch, Zeke and I went downstairs. Yes, we really took our time to have lunch. When we were downstairs some tributes were already there. Even Tobias and Jeanine. They were finally on time!! I walked to Al and Tobias who were standing together and I said:'' Well Tobias, you still have 2 days to impress me. So I wish you luck with the scores.'' You may ask how I wasn't impressed by him yet. I was like almost there. He did it really well during training, but sometimes he was also very clumsy. He thanked me. I already knew we would be allies because we wouldn't be able to kill each other. In the last days, we became really close with the 3 of us.

At 16:00 the male tribute from 1 got taken and got lead to the training room. I still didn't really know what I could do. I think I'm just going for knives and fire. I can set something on fire or something. Maybe it will impress the game maker and sponsor. When it was finally my turn I was still really nervous but tried to act as confident as I could. I said my name and district. The game maker said I had 5 minutes. I went first to the knives. Because of my nervousness the first at the head. I wanted to do it at the heart of the dummy, but the sponsors were luckily still watching. I threw another 5 knives. 2 normal, 2 with my eyes closed and 1 backwards. I still had 2/3 minutes. I didn't have to ruin it. Well knowing myself it was still possible, but I walked to the survival stuff. Took 2 sticks and started making fire. It took me 40 seconds to let it burn. The sponsors were still impressed. Wow, they really must like me. I didn't really know what I had to do, so I started with camouflage. Painted my arm. It had to look like a tree. It was really good, when my arm was finished I showed it to everyone. They started clapping. I thanked them for their attention. My time was over and I went to the exit door.

When all the other tributes were finished everyone was allowed to go to their apartments. When we arrived at our apartment Rud asked how the training went. I told him all the details of mine. Zeke his only sentence about his was:'' Well it went pretty horrible...'' After dinner, the training scores would be shared. At 7:00 PM we sat before the tv and waited for the show to start. at 7:15 Pm the show started. They went pretty fast to the scores. Al had a 10, pretty good for a career! I was really proud of him. Tobias his mark was outstanding for district 7, he had like Al an 10! Well I had to admit it. That boy impressed me. When I see him tomorrow I tell him that He impressed me. Then It was Zeke his turn, His mark was a 7, Rud told that it was still really good for district 10, there was 2 years ago even someone from our district with a 4, He surprised everybody by coming in the last 7. Then it was my turn. I had a 9!! Wow!! Rud was really proud on me. After the show (that finished at 8:00 PM) Rud, Zeke and I watched some tv and at 9:30 PM we went to bed. I did my pyjama's on and went to bed still thinking of my 9 and fell with happy thoughts asleep.
