Ronnie's POV:
I woke to a knock on the door. Effie poked her head in and whispered "15 minutes."
This time I didn't have to wake Elena up myself. She leaned in and kissed my cheek, "Thank you."
"For what?" I said as I put my arms around her.
"You sang for me." Is all she said.
"Oh. Well, it was nothing. Come on, it's time for breakfast." I said as I pulled her up.
"Alright, just let me change." She replied as she grabbed her training clothes and went into the bathroom.
I looked around our room and found my outfit folded neatly on a chair. I changed quickly into my clothes, just in time for Elena to walk back out of the bathroom.
"Oh good you're fully dressed this time." She said with a sarcastic grin.
"We wouldn't want another incident like yesterday to happen again, now would we?" I said as I grabbed her hand, leading her into the hall.
2 days later, day of private sessions with Gamemakers
Elena's POV:
The past two days in training have been as expected. We learned how to set up snares, about edible plants, and other things to help us survive.
We've also talked alliances with the other tributes. Right now, we have Drizzle Hudson from 11, Carter Odair from 4, and Flo Bytes from 3.
For my session I was going to just shoot some arrows, maybe some camoflauge. They were the two things I was best at. Ronnie was going to throw some knives and spears, he had the best aim of anyone I knew.
We sit at the table and talk with our friends and wait as, one by one, the others go into the training room.
"Wish me luck!" Drizzle said as she was called to go in.
"Good luck!" Ronnie and I both replied.
And Ronnie sat there, holding me close, until he was called in.
"Kiss for good luck?" He asked with a smile.
Our lips met, and I replied, "good luck."
If I thought waiting for my turn was hard before, it was torturous now, with no one else with me.
15 minutes slowly passed and I was called to go in. The room was the same one we'd been training in, only all the tables had been pushed to the walls, and there was a big, open space in the middle.
I greeted the Gamemakers, and immediately grabbed some practice dummies and a bow and arrows.
I set them up, and took my stance. The first arrow went straight into the neck of the dummy.
It didn't take long before I'd delivered fatal blows to each of the 5 dummies.
I realized that I still had about 10 minutes left, so I grabbed some of the paints from the table and camouflaged myself.
Then I was dismissed by the head Gamemaker, Dramair Odoyle. Something happened to the previous HG, Plutarch Havensbee. The rumor in District 12 was that he was arrested for trying to start a rebellion. And now, no one really knows what happened to him.
As I walked down the hall I see Effie and Ronnie talking by the elevator.
"Hey guys." I said as I walked up to them.
"How'd you do?" Effie replied.
"Pretty good I think.." I said, "how about you, Ron?"
"Well I had to throw a few knives before I got a couple of them to notice me, but I think I did good for the rest." He replied with a smile.
"Come on then. Let's get some food and then watch the results." Effie said as she pressed the button for the elevator.
Katniss's POV:
We watched as the TV announced the scores of each of the tributes.
Predictably high scores for the Career Districts, some got 8's, some got 9's, and the boy from 1, Sheen, got a 10.
Most of the other Districts got low scores, except for the girl from 7, and the girl from 11, who both got 8's.
And then Ronnie's picture flashed, followed by a 7.
A 7 was pretty good for District 12, considering most of our tributes usually get 4's and 5's.
I didn't have time to be proud of him, because right away they were showing Elena's picture.
Peeta gripped my hand tightly, before a big "10" flashed in front of us.
