6. The Training Begins

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. I stretched my arms. My hair was a complete mess, stuck up in every which way. I turned on the shower pressing random buttons on the panel. I hoped in quickly washing myself. I changed into the same outfit I had had on yesterday deciding it wasn't dirty. I looked at the clock it was 8:30 just in time for breakfast. I walked down the hall arriving in the dining hall to see that I was the last one there. "Finally!" Naivia snaps at me "Your late" she grumbles. "Umm no I'm right on time" I retort. Naivia rolls her eyes at me "Late" she mutters under her breath. I decide to pretend I didn't hear her to avoid a fight.

I sit down and try a bite of more of the capitol food. It's so sweet I nearly choke. I don't eat anything else for the rest of breakfast. As soon as breakfast is over Jamal explains to Tiffany and me about training today. "Ok so first off" he begins "Try something you have never tried before at training, who knows you might have a special talent that you never knew of," he says. "Rightttt" I hear Marcus say sarcastically. I glare at him but before I can say anything Casey punches his arm. "Ow!" he snaps and looks as though he is about to say something to Casey but when he see's her look he decides to keep his mouth shut for once.

Tiffany and me nod our heads. "Got it," Tiffany says. Jamal gives us a curt nod "Alright good luck" he says and nods us off. I lead Tiffany to the training room where everyone has already gathered. One of the training instructors begins to explain some basic rules and then sends us off. Immediately almost everyone heads to the weapon station. It wouldn't hurt to try a weapon I think. Jamal did tell us to try something new and I'm not that good with weapons. I begin to head over there. I pick up a bunch of weapons trying to see which one feels right with my hands. Finally I decide to try a bow and arrow. I remember this was Katniss's special weapon in the games I decide to give it a try. It turns out I pretty much suck at bow and arrow so I move on.

Next I try a sword. I'm all right at it. But in the games all right isn't good enough. I pick up a spear. It feels right in my hands, not too heavy and not too light. I pick it up and aim it at the dummy. I throw it as hard as I can and it flies straight through the dummies stomach and lodge its self into the wall behind it. Everyone stares at me and I can tell they are amazed because I am to. I quickly walk away from my station I know that's going to be my secret weapon in the game. I smile to myself. First stop the games next stop District 3.
