Training Pt. 2
Lennox Thorn, 16, D9 Male
It was the second day of training, and there was still not a single person who would talk to me. But that's okay because it's not like I had any friends in my district. So instead of interacting with everyone else, I sat at the fire station and set fires. I got a blow torch and torched dummies. Honestly it was pretty great. There were a few other loners, so I tried going up to one. I chose the boy from 8 cause he seemed crazy, so he was like me.
"Hello," I said.
"What do you want?" he growled.
"N-nothing," I stammered, then walked away quickly. I tried to talk to the girl from 3, and got the same reaction. Guess I was going to stay lonely. So I went back to the fire station and continued setting stuff on fire.
Briar Dogwood, 14, D7 Male
Raylie and I were at the traps station, and we were both quite good at it. Yesterday we had met the tributes from 5, and we had made an alliance with Emalynn and Marvlo. They were both younger than us, and we had quickly developed a friendship. It felt good to know that we had two more people watching our backs. They were over at the weapons, learning everything they could.
"Hey I'm sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to introduce myself," a voice said from behind us. I jumped up and turned around. A tiny boy with brown hair and glasses was standing behind us. He looked extremely awkward. "My name's Jollin. I'm from 3."
"Hello, Jollin," Raylie said. "I'm Raylie and this is Briar. We're from 7."
"Sorry for bothering you," he said, looking at the ground. "I just noticed that you guys were hanging with some of the other young kids and I wanted to introduce myself."
"It's fine," Raylie replied. "How old are you?"
He couldn't be more than 12, he was tiny.
"14," he said.
"Oh, okay," she said. "Why don't you come with me and Briar and we can introduce you to our friends from 5. And hopefully we can add another to our alliance."
He smiled up at us and nodded. We had found another for our alliance.
Falco Gael, 17, D10 Male
I was outnumbered three to one. Shey had made friends with two other girls, and had persuaded me to make an alliance with them. The girls were sweet and all, but I wanted it to just be me and her. But it was happening, and there was no changing Shey's mind. Stitch was a tiny 12 year old from 8, and she was pretty helpless. It broke my heart that she was going to the Games. And Barley was a 15 year old from 9. Stitch was super attached to her. It was like Barley was filling in as her mother.
"Falco, I'm going to take the girls over to the survival stations. Will you be okay over here?" Shey asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Plus there's only 30 minutes left of training," I answered. "I love you."
"Love you too." she smiled at me then walked away with the girls. Once they were over at the survival stations, I turned back to the weapons stations. I walked over to archery and was just getting the hang of it when Hunter announced that training for today was over. I grabbed Shey and we got in the elevator. Another day of training was over, and that meant another day until we went to the arena. I wanted to savor these last few days of peace with Shey. because once we got into the arena, all that was over. We would have to kill everyone. And Shey was going home without me. It was going to be terrible, but I was killing myself for her to win. I loved her too much to kill her.
