CHAPTER 6

CATO:

Pathetic I think when after the lady is down lecturing us. Most of the tributes are even shorter than clove, half of them are in the stupid survival stations. Now it's time for us careers to start showing off, and intimidating every human in this training room.

I walk over to the sword section and pick the hardest level. It's a piece of cake to kill about 10 dummies in less than half a minute. After all they are dummies. Humans on the other hand is not so easy. Especially those who are small and can run. So I guess I should practice my spear just in case I cant get my hands on a sword in the arena. But dumb Marvel is on the spear area. Dumb, because he literally goes around bragging that he is the leader of the career pack. I'm the leader. Funny thing is that he never says it to my face that he is the leader. Loser.

CLOVE:

Pathetic I think as I see almost half of the tributes in the survival area, or failing the combat areas. I Cato moves on to the sword section and I go to the knife and bow and arrow parts. Glimmer is not too far besides me shooting arrows, but missing a lot. If she calls the bow her specialty, then I should call makeup and pink my specialty. She would miss anyone at this rate, even the really big guy from 11.

"Nice shooting" I say to her when she shot and it didn't even hit any of the displayed dummy colors.

She looks very irritated now, she must be a serious brat. She looks like she never got criticism, or been played around or messed with.

"You distracted me" She excuses herself.

"Girl" I give a small laugh, "In the arena there are going to be thousands of distractions, hunger, thirst, canons blowing, rain, snow, anything possible that can distract us. That's why we train day and night in our district, so we can ace a shot with any distraction handed to us"

"Then why don't you shoot those harmless knives, lets see if you miss a shot too"

"Hah, I never miss. Ask Cato" I take a few knives on the table a little far besides me, and… SHOOT! I made all the shots, in less than 10 seconds, and yet it takes Glimmer 10 minutes to get at least one arrow close.

I turn back to see an annoyed Glimmer failing to hide how shocked she is, and I see Cato, possibly Glimmer called her, assuming I would fail, I guess she wanted to turn my own friend against me.

Catos smiling, he's not surprised, he knows, I never miss. I look up, and clearly the game makers saw my performance too, their all pointing at us and talking to each other.

"Please, the tributes are not going to be standing in their spots in the arena, and there will actually be distractions" Glimmer says.

"I know, and I'm ready for that. But hey, at least I can shoot straight at the target while their still, you can't manage to do something simple like that"

"You were a distraction" She starts raise her voice.

"How was I a distraction Glimmer" I raise my voice back and walk up to her. "You didn't even see me until I spoke"

Cato holds me back, "Clove, calm down, now isn't the time"

"Yeah Clove" Glimmer says in a sassy tone, putting her arm around Cato's which gets me even more pissed, even though Cato shoves her arms away.

"I bet you're just jealous because I'm prettier" She says, in fact pointing at me with her snobby little finger, and that was the last straw.

I twist her wrist, forcing her to bring her hand down. She is about to complain, when I pull her by her hair.

"Oww, stop that" She whines.

"You know what I'm jealous of" I lower my voice, "of all those tributes" I say gazing at the others one by one.

I let go of her hair when I see one of the workers notice me and start to come over.

"Hah, jealous of those losers, I bet your scared they'll kill you in the bloodbath" She laughs as she fixes her hair.

"No" I say laughing back, "I'm jealous at the fact that they can kill you whenever they want, and that I have to wait until the last 8" She looks offended, then I add, "Then again, if you even survive up to the last 8"

"That's it, you really are jealous that I'm prettier than you. Admit it Clove."

"Oh my dear Glimmer" I say as I play with a strand of her wavy blond hair. "I don't care about any of your shi* and nobody else here does either"

"Ugh, don't you know anything" She says pushing my finger away from her hair. "Sponsors, sponsors look for beauty" She says flipping her hair and giving me a smile as if she is proud that she supposedly roasted me.

"Who fuckin* cares if your pretty if you have no specialty in weapons and can't kill, you fuckin* whined when I pulled your hair, a fuckin* career would fight back"

"Glimmer what's going on here"Marvel says annoyed walking to us, I can hear you guys from the spears section, what's all the commotion"

"It doesn't matter now" Cato says, completely annoyed at the whole situation, two week allies, one who thinks she owns the world, and another who calls himself a leader.
