The next day
Cato's POV
When I wake up, I get dressed, and walk to Clove's room. I knock on her door.

"Clover you up," I say. Don't hear anything, so I open the door, and see her still asleep. I walk over to the side of her bed.

"Clover it's time to get up," I say gently shaking her. She stirs but doesn't wake up.

"Clove come on get up," I say.

"No," she moans. I laugh.

"Clove we have to go to training," I tell her.

"Ugh fineeee," she draws out. She gets up and I kiss her.

"Come on Clover, lets scare those other tributes," and that wakes her up. I walk out so she can get dressed.

At the training center
Clove and I are in the elevator and Clove I can tell isn't herself.

"Clover what's wrong," I ask her

"Huh oh nothing," she tells me looking down. I move her head up to she has to look at me.

"Clover what is it, I can somethings wrong," I tell her.

"Cato can we talk about it after training," she asks me with desperate eyes.

"Ok fine we can," I tell her and give her hug. When the doors open we put on fierce faces, and see all the tributes standing around the head trainer, Atala, she starts speaking.

"In just a few weeks 23 of you will be dead, who those are is up to you and how well you pay attention. Don't leave out the survival skills, everyone will want to grab a sword," Clove looks at me and smirks, "but dehydration can kill just as quickly, and no fighting with the other tributes, there will be plenty of time for that in the arena. Now y'all can get started." She tells us.

I see Clove go directly to the knives, Marvel the spears, and Glimmer the bow and arrows, I walk up to the swords, and pick up a deadly looking one and start beheading the dummies. Making sure to look deadly, out of the corner of my eye I see Clove throwing the knives just she did back home, she looks as hot as ever. After a while of swords I decide to get the careers together to discuss who we want in the career pack.

"I think the boy from 11, he will definitely be a threat," Glimmer says, and we all agree.

"Anyone else," I ask.

Clove then walks out abruptly. I want to know what's wrong but she went to the girls bathroom so I can't goin there.

"Cato, is Clove ok," Glimmer asks.

"I don't know," I tell her. We walk over to the district 11 male, and he looks at us confused.

"What do y'all careers want," he asks.

"We were wondering if you would want to join our alliance," I ask.

"Why do y'all can kill me easier," he asks.

"No because you could be useful with your strength," Marvel says.

"Forget it I would never team up with y'all," he says. I became furious.

"Ok suit yourself," I tell him, and we walk off, I see Clove come out of the bathroom, and walk over to her.

"Hey you ok," I ask her worriedly.

"Yea I am fine," she tells me and walks back over to the knives.

I know something isn't right, but I will y'all to her about it later. I go to spears with Marvel.
