In the morning we arrive at the training centre, we are all given room keys and told to meat in the dining room in half an hour. Peeta and I head to the dining room where a whole breakfast buffet is set out, I scan all the faces at different tables but I don't see Gale. Gale still hasn't arrived after half an hour so I excuse myself and go to his room. He doesn't reply when I knock on the door, but I know he is awake because I can hear muffle sobs coming from inside

"Gale, can I come in" I ask

Again he doesn't reply so I try the handle and am surprised to find it's unlocked

"Gale you know you should lock the door when you are in hear alone" I tell him

"Why?" I hear him say

"Because the other tributes will do anything to have you dead" I reply

"Katniss?" He whimpers

"Yes Gale?" I answer

"I'm scared, I need to be back home to protect them" Gale says between sobs

"Peeta and I are here to do exactly that, to get you back home to your family" I say

"Okay" Gale says

"Come on you need to eat" I say dragging him up

"UHHHHHH" he groans

"I'll wait outside the door, if you aren't out in ten minutes I will come in even if I have to knock down this door" I say leaving the room

Gale comes out in eight minutes and we head to the dining room which I still full of people

"Go sit down I'll get your food, we saved you a seat on one side of peeta" I say

"Umm where are you sitting?" Gale asks

"On the other side of peeta of course" I tell him

"Catnip, there is only one seat next to peeta" He almost whispers

Then I turn around and see a sixteen year old flirting with Peeta and I can tell he is uncomfortable

"Wait here" I tell Gale

I go over to our table and sit right on Peeta's lap

"Hey Baby did you miss me?" I ask him

"Always" He answers and kisses me

When we break apart she makes an excuse about needing to get a drink as she walks away I laugh. Before we head off to the training room we are given a five minute mentoring session

"Okay Saige, Gale when we go into that room there will be skill stations" I begin

"Stay away from the things you are good at okay" Peeta finishes
