Howdy Yall!
Just warning users, Jade can be racy sometimes, so if you get offended by the casual mentions of her sleeping her way to the top, then I'm sorry. That's just who she is.
The next day was pretty much the same as the first day of training. Throughout the training, I learned more about the other careers. Flint seemed a little overenthusiastic about killing the other tributes. He eyed the smallest ones and took bets with Luxor about who would get to kill them. Lina seemed to love tagging along with the careers; after some time, I could tell that we all couldn't stand her. She was whiny, over-confident, and self-obsessed. She seemed to think that, because she was from District 2, she had an all-access pass to being Victor. I like the 4s, Gill and Mya. Gill is a skilled fighter, but less brutish and stupid than Luxor and Flint. He's especially nice when he's around Mya, whom he gets along with well. Mya can seem vicious on the outside, and she is, but I like her a lot. There's understanding when we look at each other, there's respect. We both know we're formidable opponents, and that it could come down to us in top two. Mya, apart from her vicious nature, is mature and honest. I think I'd want to be friends with her if we weren't in this situation. Ah well.
That night, we all met on the roof to have our own career party. Lux and I brought up munchies, the 2 brought drinks, and the 4s brought a music player. We danced up there for about an hour, whooping it up as the capitol citizens cheered in the street below us. After a while, we sat down and chatted while we ate.
"So," slurs Flint, "Jade. Jayyyyyde. Jadey Jadey Jade."
"Flint," I grin. "Flinty Flinty Flint. What?" He motions me over, leans in to my ear, and belches loudly.
"Eeew," squeals Lina. "Flint, that's so gross!"
We all laugh at Lina's reaction and then Luxor says, "Guys, this is our last night here. One of us is going to be alive in 2 weeks. Let's – ah – why don't we, you know, make the most of our last night here, you know what I mean?"
"Why not?" I ask. "Which boy wants me?" Flint and Luxor glance at each other, challenging. There's an awkward pause. Then Lina pipes up again.
"Wait, what? Are you guys serious? You're going to have s-e-x?" We all laugh at her again.
"Well, duh," sniggers Luxor. "But we just have to decide which one of us gets Jade." He looks over at the pair from 4.
Mya smirks, "I'll take Gill." And they get up to go to the other side of the roof. Lina looks shocked, and then recovers.
"Well, who, uh, wants me?" she simpers, trying her hardest to look sexy. She fails completely. I mean, she's tall and skinny, 18 years old, and isn't exactly bad-looking, but her attitude just turns everyone off.
Flint chokes and splutters out, "Well, nobody's gonna do you! Hey, Luxor, how about we both take her?" Lux nods and we go downstairs leaving an embarrassed Lina sitting there.
