It's no wonder Charlie burst into the door, my screaming probably woke up the district 10 tributes. He didn't say anything, neither did I. We just locked eyes. My hand searched for the locket my dad gave me that was hidden in my shirt. I finally found it a grasped it, eyes still locked with Charlie. I finally realized what was happening.

"I'm ok." I croaked. "Really. Just a dream, that's all."

Just a dream.

Without a word, he nodded and walked back to his room.

What. Just. Happened.

I couldn't grasp what just happened. Why did Charlie run in?Who was that lady?

Calm down Baum, everything is fine. Just focus on the games.

I laid back down and forced myself to think about the swimming I used to do. I mean it wasn't like District 4, but we had some beautiful lakes. I could usually wait till the middle of the night, when all the kids wouldn't be training, and just swim until sunrise. No worries. Just water...

Tali decided it be a great idea to scream "TIME FOR BREAKFAST," at us to wake us up today.

Thanks Tali. Ugh.

After breakfast, we headed to our final day of training. I had to really focus on strength today. I had no idea what I would be doing for our privet session... Not that our mentor was helping. He hadn't even been here for the last couple of days. Where was he?

I quickly ignored the question when we arrived at the training center.

Alrighty Baum, it's go time.

I headed strait for the knife throwing station. I had to perfect this...

I practiced my throwing until lunch, making sure I hit the bullseye every time, as fast as I could. I still had no idea how I could throw well, I guess it's just based on the math...

As I walk into our cafeteria, I see a table with Dak, Sparkle, and Chance sitting at, while Charlie tries to convince Dak to let him sit at. It must be killing him, the fact that they are saving me a seat and rejecting him.

And then, there was another table, with Sarah and another girl, with light blue eyes that I could see from across the room. The tribute from 3, I guess. I wonder if I should go talk to her, and say that I forgot or something about this girl made me want to be nice.

Can't...trust... anyone...

My mind was to frazzled to think. I decided to go sit with Dak. I mean, after Charlie gave him a hard time about it...

We started off eating in silence. For the first time, I got a good look at them.

Sparkle was beautiful. She had shiny grey eyes and bleach-blonde hair. But she was guarded, I could tell by the way she gave me a 'what are you looking at' look.

Chance was kind of goth, I guess you can say. He had black hair, dark brown eyes with a hint of black eye liner. He was kind of scrawny, but the way he studied all of us, it feels like he could read minds. But he spent most of his time staring at table with his district partner, Sarah, and that other girl.

Dak looked like he came strait out of military school, but he was the Sargent- Major. He had light brown hair that was shaved into a buzz cut. His eyes were blue, but not very dazzling. He was built like a football player; He was incredibly muscular. Like he can snap a person in half with his bare hands. I could tell he was studying me, for the past couple of days whenever I glanced in his direction, his eyes quickly darted away.

Finally Dak almost whispered "We need a game plan. Obviously we can make the area around the Cornucopia our territory."

"I think we need to assign jobs," Sparkle piped in. "While we aren't hunting, we'll need some one to gather supplies or even food if there isn't enough in the Cornucopia."

I decided to input my opinion. "Who is going to guard our camp while we hunt? We can't leave it vulnerable."

"What about her?" It kinda scared me when Chance talked. He seemed so quiet.

"You mean Sarah?" Sparkle questioned.

"No, her." He said pointing to her friend. " She from district 3, and she is very smart. I think she should be good at guarding."

We exchanged looks until we reached a silent agreement.

"If you can get her on board, I think it would be okay." I said, speaking for the whole group.

He got up and walked toward their direction. I wonder if chance had feelings for this girl...

Not the time to think about that, I told my self, it was time to get back to training.

This time I tried hand to hand combat, again. But this time, I paid attention to the trainers feet. I once read in a book that said people will point their toes in the way they're gonna go. This gave me an awesome advantage. Since I was kind of small, I wasn't very strong, but defense proved to be a great offense. He was gonna fake me and make it look like he was gonna go right and go left, so I did the same. He pulled his trick but realized I had him when he got to meet my foot, up close and personal.

As I pinned the trained to the floor ( a personal reward ) I looked over to see Charlie, staring at me. I didn't know what was going on in his brain but he was definitely acting different towards me. I mean, he had used his social power to convince everyone that I was mean and a freak, but I never really thought about the reason why. What would drive a person to do stuff like that?

I decided it was a good time to get off my trainer.

My time to my privet session was cutting close, and I had to impress them. I tried not to worry about it and went over to the bow and arrow station, just to try that again; if there wasn't any knives I would be in trouble. It didn't go awful, and it kept my mind off everything that was going on.

But that didn't last long, it was time for our privet sessions. The wait left me with Charlie in awkward silence for a long period of time. It hadn't really occurred to me that he was the first one into my room when I screamed. The look on his face, it was pure terror mixed with concern. Why did he care so much? It's not that he likes me, he made that perfectly clear long ago.

But what if?

My thought was interrupted when a mechanical voice boomed through my ears.

"Audri Baum."

As I walked toward the door, I swear I heard a silent "Good luck," from Charlie. Only one thought was going through my mind when I walked into that room.

Thank you, Charlie
