When I wake up Shane is standing over me.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" I shout as I scramble over the edge of the couch in alarm.
"I have two questions for you." He holds up two fingers.
"THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY YOU WERE WATCHING ME SLEEP!" I shout at him, I'm not angry just freaked out.
"Question one. Where were you last night? Question two. Why are you asleep on the couch in your chariot outfit?" He completely ignores me and just stares at me.
"Fine then! Answer one. The elevator broke down and I was stuck until it started working again. Answer two. I didn't know what bedroom was mine, thus no clothes and me on the couch!" I glare at him and he glares back.
"Follow me." He spins on his heel and starts to stalk off down the hall way.
I get up and follow him down the hall. He stops with a start and I plow into his back. He opens a door and points inside.
"Here it is." He doesn't look at me.
A wave a guilt runs through me and when I try to shake it off it gets worse.
"I'm sorry...' I whisper to Shane and his head whips around to look at me.
"Don't be sorry." He sighs and puts his hand to his face. "I was worried. Your my tribute and I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I'm your tribute? What's that supposed to mean?" I look at him confused.
"When two mentors are available in a district each mentor picks a tribute. Each one specifically mentors their tribute. I picked you." He looks at me guilt in his eyes.
I try to think of what to say but my mind is blank. I'm not sure how I feel about this fact but I smile. At least I have someone who cares about me in this place.
"So is that why Claires not talking to me?" I ask him.
"She doesn't like to get in the way of the others training methods so she try's not to talk to much to the other tribute. It's sort of the same with me but if you try to talk to her she'll talk back. But she will always be with Charlie." I think about trying to talk to Claire, after all I did like her way more then Shane when we first met but being near Charlie scares me.
"Well thanks for clearing that up, also I need to talk to you about Charlie after training. It starts today right?" He looks confused and nods.
I smile at him and head into my room closing the door behind me. I hear his feet walk off towards the sitting area. I take a deep breath and walk towards the dresser. The room looks the same as the one on the train but one wall is completely made of glass. There's a bath room with a shower that has so many buttons! I decide before I get dressed for breakfast I'll take a shower. Training starts at ten so I have a good two hours to get ready. I walk to the shower and look at the buttons. I don't understand what they say so I press them at random and step in. I end up with a hot shower and shop that makes me smell like water lilies. I step out of the shower after a while. Once I stop on a mat just outside of the shower I get dried off by fans. I get my hair dried by a machine attached to the wall. I walk into my room and find that someone has layed an outfit on the bed. I put it on and look at myself in the mirror. The outfit is a black pair of pants with a black top. On the top there is a light blue line going down each arm. Walking back into the bathroom I put up my hair into a high ponytail. I have to give my stylist credit. The blue in my outfit makes my eyes look bigger and brighter. I take a deep breath and walk outside the door. I'm ready to face everyone. I get to the table and everyone's already eating. I grab an apple and sit down with them.
"Not going to eat anything?" Shane looks at me puzzled.
"Nah, I've never really liked breakfast." He shrugs his shoulders and keeps eating.
The rest of the meal we eat in silence. I eat my apple then get up from the table.
"I'm going to head downstairs early and wait." Without waiting for an answer I walk towards the elevator.
As I press the button marked 'TR' for training room my stomach does nervous somersaults. I try to take deep breaths and clear my mind. This is the first time we will actually be in the same room together. First time we will be able to talk to each other. You never really find out what happens when the tributes meet. I get to the training room floor faster then I would have liked. The elevator doors open and I see I'm not the first one here. There are five other tributes here. The both tributes from district one and two and Christan. He's standing by himself waiting. I see him and smile. At least I won't be alone right now.
