"Discuss, what do they mean? Discuss what?" I whisper as I close my eyes to try to get some sleep."What would they want to discuss about training?"
Now I'm really starting to stress out and I really need some sleep. It's starting to get to the point where I am surely gonna die in that arena from exhaustion. I need to focus on what is important right now.
"It's time to get up!" I hear Effie say and, truly, I am not ready.
I got to sleep at about midnight, which was ruled by nightmares... Lots of them.
"I'll be out there in a second!" I call at the door, where I assume Effie is standing.
I quickly get dressed and make my way down to the lounge, to find everyone sitting and eating.
"It's about time, sleepyhead" Carter smirks.
"Quickly eat breakfast, we will talk about training when you're finished" says Tigris, picking up another roll of bread. I sit down and immediately shove the food down the same way as usual, with my hands. Everyone gives me a funny look and I grin.
I still have not learnt the Capitol ways.
After breakfast Effie leads me into the TV room, where we discuss training.
"Why on earth do we need to talk about training?" I ask casually, " It's just training, what can really go wrong?"
"Oh darling, the training is the most important session leading up to the Hunger Games" whispers Cecelia in her creepy quiet tone.
"Ok, what do I need to know?" I ask
"Do not show off any of your strengths until your privates, ok, hear me."
"Sure... I promise"
I take one step out of the elevator and it is as if I've walked into a hole other world. It is the most amazing place on the earth. There are people everywhere shooting bows at targets or people hacking away at dummies it's crazy. I step over towards the edible berries section wanting to find out about that. I take a quick glance to my right, people underestimating me already even though it's only the very first training.
I then make my way over to the knife throwing section wanting learn as much about this topic as I can. If I can get to the cornucopia and get knife I would need to know how to use them. I start taking my stance and throw, I just miss the target. The next time I aim a little higher and it hits the bull's eye. I quickly move on hoping no-one saw that.
I make my way back to the elevator heading back to bed I run into Carter,
"what sections did you do?" I ask.
"the berries, bow and arrows and fire starter" she says. "How bout you."
"The berries and knife throwing which I moved on from quickly".
I get to the lounge where I see Effie and Cecelia sitting.
"How did you go" Cecelia asks,
"good I learnt a lot about edible berries and I learnt that I am good with knives."
"Go to bed, you need the sleep for tomorrow. It's the private sessions. You can show of your best skills tomorrow so have a little think about what you might do" says Effie.
I make my way to bed and close the door behind me. "This is going to be cool" I think to myself, I get to show off.
