The final day of training is finally among us. It took a while, but here we go!
Sailor Moon- 12- District 4 Male
I think back to the event of what happened yesterday with Kendall as I board the elevator... does she hate me for being young? If so, that is terrifying to think about. She has issues, and it bothers me. But, I try not to think about it. I see Terry and Juno talking, and I walk up to Emilio... why are Terry and Juno talking so casually?
No one else is here, and I still wonder about it as I start my conversation with Emilio. Before I open my mouth, Juno hisses while Terry chuckles.
"Calm down, will you?" I ask Juno, rolling my eyes, as the other careers file in, and Juno shoves Terry away.
Seriously, what is up with them! Is she secretly... DATING HIM? No, I am being an idiot. I slap myself, and I get annoyed, but Emilio clears his throat. Oh, I have been ignoring his presence. My bad. That may not be good.
"Oh, sorry..." I say, chuckling humorlessly. I am so tired of the games, and I haven't even started. "It is fine." He says, yawning. It is early in the morning.
"So..." I say. "What should we train with today."'
"What we are good at." he says. "Well, I am ok with a sword. I am pretty good. I just hate my own skills honestly..."
"But why? You are good, you just don't know." I reassure him.
"My father. Long story, anyways, what are your skills?" he asks me, quick to change the subject. Family is a tough subject I guess. I don't know what my skills are! I am only 12... I am going to die. I slap myself, which may have looked random to Emilio.
Show. Some. Confidence. Sailor. Ship depends on you... as do the rest.
"Why did you slap yourself?" he asks.
"Don't ask. Anyways, I am OK with a trident... District 4 thing." I tell him.
"Ok." Let's get training!" he says. I agree.
Tesla Datum- 15- District 3 Male
I chat with Cindra. She is actually pretty cool.
Maybe it is because I have fondness for intelligence, but it is clear she knows her stuff, and will do pretty well. Dayta is ok, but we hardly talk. I just want to go back to my grandparents. I am one of their last things in life... I do not want to disappoint them.
Cindra and I are competing in the edible plants section quiz. We get really into it, and I win by a damn sliver.
Night lock was the decider. I won by a hair. Dayta just watches us. "Want to compete?" I ask. She just shakes her head and walks away. I follow her. I think she feels left out, because of Cindra and I.
"Dayta... I am sorry for leaving you out. I think that is the problem, right?" I say. Her eyes widen.
"How did you know?" she asks.
"Clear signs." I say. "Come on, let's discuss strategy."
"Oh... well, thank you. I guess I just got paranoid that I would be betrayed." she says.
"Your welcome. It is fine."
Gordan Fields- 14- District 10 Male
I complain to Ceres, the District 9 lady from last year. "GIVE ME MILK!" I demand, eyes on us.
"Why is it every time I walk in, someone has to talk to me like I know everything! A lot of you are older than me!" she says.
"GET OVER IT!" I yell. "So, where is my milk."
"I am not giving it to you." she says... WHAT?
"GIVE ME MILK!" I scream. Hore and Wyatt walk up and start crying! GOOD!
SHE SLAPPED US! OW!
We all cry as everyone else cheers her on! WAH!
Athena Illedisent- 18- District 1 Female
We were called for the obstacle course for this year. Othello nods to me as he steps up first. "For honor."
I roll my eyes, but to be nice, I repeat the phrase back to him. He smiles as he is told to go. He gets through the block maze, and I just gape my mouth. He is going quickly! He swings on this ropes, and dodges foam weapons the game makers throw at him. I wonder what his time will be.
I then step up and take a deep breath. "You can do it." Othello assures me. We have this weird district bond. Don't know how to describe it.
I run up the steps quickly, and go through the block maze- holy crap!
A fake knife stabbed me, and I am relocating to the start. "What?" I say, running back in to make up for lost time. I speed up, and laugh in glee as I make it. My time was not as good as Othello's but it had to be good, right? Even with the setback...
Holley Brown- 16- District 7 Female
Dakota finally finishes the course. I am sure he got lost in the maze. From what I learned, he is not the best with directions.
When I am called up, I tell myself my catchphrase...
"YOLO!" I scream, before rushing through the course, I love mazes, the uncertainty of each direction you go gives me a thrill. That is why I love them! I rush through, and my boob nearly got poked by the fake knife.
"Pervert." I say to the knife. I roll my eyes at myself for talking to a knife, but then I continue on. I swing on the ropes! This is a thrill!
I happily finish the course, and Kendall looks pissed at me for doing good. Oh crap...
We get held up as Hore talks an hour to finish the course.
Milo Miller- 13- District 9 Male
When everyone finished, a board was posted. I look at the scores and times
24th- Andre- DNP

Of course Juno did the best... I am so dead.
Cindra Vasquez- 16- District 5 Female
I groan as my legs hurt. Do you think it is from the obstacle course? No, it is not.
It was standing in line because of Wyatt being so damn slow! I groan as I hear the trio brag about how they topped the leader-board... they are retards. Oh my god. They were the worst... you don't aim for the highest, dimwits.
Wyatt calls me over... ugh!
I walk over, and he says. "GOOD JOB ON GET GOD SCORE!"
...
...
...
"You know that you aim for first, right?" I tell them.
"We were first!" Hore says. Her name is stupid by the way.
"I will snap a bitch in half." Wyatt says, looking at me. They all walk over, looking to punch me. I lightly punch them all, and they all start crying. Good god...
Juno Abeck- 18- District 2 Female
I think about my decision from yesterday about allying with Terry. Others may find it stupid, but I see it as a strategic move.
If the career pack crumbles, he is a backup alliance. I plan on killing Kendall anyway. We clash too much. She is annoying.
My plan is to give Terry supplies in the bloodbath. Then, during the night of day 5, we will meet up again. I will betray whoever remains of the careers. A valid point to this is Terry may not make it to Day 5. It doesn't matter if he lives or not. That is the thing. If he lives, cool, but if not, whatever then. I can still kill them, I just need someone else to make it easier. I wonder if District 2 would be upset.
I don't care. They can get over it.
We are not friends, Liber.
I sprint back to the sword station. My final day of training before the games. I hack the dummies, and their stuffing flies out. Kendall walks over to me. "Gee, nice form." she says, cackling like Elmo.
"You will end up like the dummy if you keep this up." I say.
"Calm down." she says, snickering. "Little baby."
"EXCUSE ME!" I yell, but a peacekeeper separates us.
She is so dead.
Two chapters in a row! Boom!
