The next morning, I'm wake by a loud knocking in the door.

"Kitty! Wake the fleaf up!" Twitch shouts from the door.

I take a shower, change, and let my hair loose. I walk into the dinning hall again for breakfast.

I serve myself a lot of fruit, toast and some hot chocolate.

I seat down and eat my food.

"Kitty," Jack nods to me and I nod back. "I heard from John that you have been spending time with the District 4 tributes."

I blink at him fast and shake my head. "Uh, they have been helping me in some of the stations, but it's just a one thing."

"He also said that District 4 male tribute-"

"Phoenix," I correct him.

"Phoenix, greeted you in a very friendly way," he smirks.

I flush. "I guess you could say that, mmm, we're also going to train today together."

"Hmm," he leans back to his seat. "didn't you said you don't want allies?"

"I don't," I take a sip from my hot chocolate. I couldn't believe John could have the nerve to tell Jack about this. "and since we're playing the gossip game now, did John told you that he wants to be a Career?" I arch an eybrow to him.

Jack raises both of his eyebrows. "No, he did not, and speaking of the devil." he motions his hand to the door.

I see John freeze in the door with big eyes looking at me.

I smirk at him mockingly.

I get up and walk to the door, I lean in the wall and see John with his mouth open now. There's nothing more that we District 3 hate, and that's the Careers. This hate started since they kick our District out from them because we mock them. Once a boy joined them after the kicking and we felt betrayed by our own District.

"Getting busted doesn't feel that good? Well, I didn't start the game, did I?" I look at him with innocent eyes. When I'm about to leave the room, John slams his hands to the wall and traps me in that very own spot.

He leans his face to mine. "You little bastard, you're trying to destroy me!" he spits the word at my face.

I smile nervously. "You don't have the right to call me a bastard, I did nothing wrong!" I shout in his face.

"Break it up!" Jack comes and seperate us. He grabs John by the two arms and holds him back.

"You know what you did!" he shouts at me.

"It's life! Life is not always sweet! It's never been for me!" I shout at him and I walk out of the room. I scream in frustration and stand in the hallway. I feel some tears coming down my face and I start to sob, again, for frustration.

Twitch comes to my direction and puts a hand in my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

I shake my head and sob again.

She hugs me until I calm down. "You should go to training earlier than him." I nod and wipe the tears away fast.

I get to the training center and District 1,2,8,9, and 12 are there in different stations.

I walk to the knive section where the District 2 girl is.

"The computer thing is over there, you nerd," she smirks at me.

"Who said I can't throw a knife?" I tilt my head.

"Cocky girl, hu?" she gives me a knife and goes behind me. "I'll enjoy watching you fail."

There's a target in front of me 5 yards away from me. I throw my knife to it and hits right to the bullseye. I turn to the District 2 girl behind me and she's glaring at me.

"Get out of my face," she hisses at me.

"A dream come true," I walk away from her and I go to the camouflage station.

"Hey little Kat," Phoenix waves to me from the station.

"Hey Phoenix," I wave back. "I knew I would find you here."

"And why is that?" he smiles at me.

"I get hunches," I smile back at him.

"Hey I wanted to show you something, can you keep a secret?" he arches an eyebrow to me.

"Yeah,"

"Cool," he takes my hand and guides me to the behind of the knife throwing station. It has a door behind it. "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"If it's plitch black," I gulp.

"Then you better hold of my arm," he offers me his arm and I grab to it.

We enter the room and it's pitch black like I thought, I couldn't see anything we entered. I hug harder Phoenix's arm and follow his steps. I think we're in a a long hallway because Phoenix is not having any difficulties finding the way. The hallway is pretty long and it gets darker when you get closer to the place where we're suppose to be.

"Where are you taking me?" I gulp.

"It's a secret," he chuckles in the dark.

We come to a stop and Phoenix switches some lights on. The room transforms into a room fill with stuff for survival.

"What is this room?" I say in amaze.

"This is an old room they use to teach survival in any kind of weather," I was right about the surviving part. "but they took it out because the Gamemakers thought it was an advantage for us to last longer in the game."

"How did you find about it?" I look at him and his smiling down at me. I look at his arm and notice that I'm still hugging it. "Sorry," I let go of it and blush.

"My dad, Richard Odair, won the 33 Hunger Games, he told me about this place." he looks around the room.

"So you're name is Phoenix Odair?" I tilt my head to him.

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?" he frowns at me.

"No, it has nothing wrong, I just like it. It goes really well." I give him a crooked smile.

"What's yours?" he sits in a bench next some blankets.

"Katherine Danlin," I seat next to him.

"You're last name doesn't fit your first," he looks at me with his blue eyes.

"Then what last name do you think fits me?" I say while rolling my eyes. Is not like his the first person to tell me this about my name.

"Hmm," it takes him a minute to answer the question. "Katherine Odair sounds right to me." he takes my hand when he answers me. His eyes look like they have lit up a little more that they use to. "Does it sound right to you?" his looking at my eyes and lips.

"Yeah, it sounds right to me," I tell him in my voice that sounds more like a whisper.

He puts his hand in my face and leans down slowly. I close my eyes and he kisses me slowly. I put my hands in his face and kiss him back. His fingers slide down my hair and stop at my back. We break apart when we both have to come up for air.

I rest my head in his shoulder and he hugs me so I can feel closer him closer to him. He kisses my head and whispers in my ear "This should it never happened here, in these games."

I nod my head with my eyes close.

"We better leave before they notice we're gone," he whispers again.

I open my eyes and raise my head from his shoulder.

He gives me a small smile and put his hand my face.

This time, I'm the one who kisses him. He kisses me back slowly and I feel something in my stomach when I kiss him, the sensation feels like sparks, warm and electric just like his lips.

We get up and Phoenix grabs my hand and kisses it. He turns off the switch and we walk back to the training center and we seperate. That whole day in training I smile at the memory of our kiss. I never thought of this feeling been real.
