I've been down in the training room for the past 2 hours going through the survival stations working out what I would have to do in certain situations. I mean this is the Hunger Games anything can happen. I remember one year where a tribute ended up turning to catabolism due to the fact that there were no animals in the arena and he didn't receive food from sponsors. I know I don't have to worry about any of the tributes or I with catabolism because since then a rule was added saying that it was not allowed. But I need to be prepared if I can't catch my own game because I highly doubt that I will get enough sponsorships to be able to buy food. Just as I start to think about food an announcement is made that lunch will be provided.

I walk into a large room with rows of tables and chairs and on one side of the room is a massive buffet for everyone to enjoy. Not only do I see tributes but so are some of the mentors and even peacekeepers are eating yet ready to pounce if needed. I go up in line collecting food on my plate.

"The chicken looks really good but I suggest you try the stew "

I turn around to see that Cato is pouring himself a big bowl of stew. I take his advice and do the same. I begin to walk to a spot at the tables. "Over here" Cato instructs me. At the table sits Enobaria, Finnick and a small frame girl with bright red hair. I place my tray on the table and they all stop talking and give me odd looks.

"Well hello pretty little lady can I help you?" Finnick flirts

"No I'm fine but thank you" Finnick just stares at me with his mouth hanging open.

Cato sits across from me with the faintest smile on his lips. "Dude shut your mouth before you start catching flies"

Finnick regains his composure and starts to talk again before been rudely cut off by Enobaria. "Enobaria, district 2" she says "Katniss, district 12" "District 12?" she questions with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, why is there a problem?"

Before I hear what Enobaria has to say, Haymitch slurs over to us clearly drunk. "Now Katniss I thought I told you not to go around fighting, did I or did I not"

"You did but you didn't clarify who I couldn't start fights with"

"Well" Haymitch slurs "that is true and I wouldn't mind for you to ruffle some feathers with these old guys"

"Old!" "Excuse me I am not old" exclaims Finnick, I see that the red hair girl has a small smile on her face. She meets my eyes and I give her a small smile which in return her cheeks redden and she goes back to eating her food. I flick my eyes to Cato to see is staring at me. I raise my eyebrow in questioning with him giving me a smirk and continue eating. With Haymitch sitting beside me talking to Enobaria and Finnick about how he could still take on the two of them even with his 'drunken ass' I enjoy to eat the stew. I must say that Cato was right I am definitely enjoying the stew more than I would have then the chicken.

"So Katniss you think you have a chance at winning the games?" Asks Enobaria. Everyone at the table seems to quiet at this.

"I believe I can play the game" with this I turn to leave suddenly feeling sick thinking that I am to enter the arena. As I am walking out I see that Jackson is sitting with the girl from 11 and a skinny boy that I think is from district 8. I hope he doesn't become too friendly with them. Just as I'm about to walk through the doors a large guy bumps into me and I fall to the ground. All of the noise in the room quietens down. I stand back up, keeping my eyes on him.

"What" he shouts in my face

"Excuse me"

Crossing his arms he speaks "Sorry did you want to leave?"

"Yes"

"Well no, you can't".

"And why not?" I ask

"Because I say so" he replies, I feel my fists clench and I narrow my eyes at him ready to have a go at this large ignorant asshole. But before I explode Cato comes in-between us and shoves the guy back. "Fuck off" Cato spits at the guy. Realising that Cato has stormed through the doors I follow. I get into the elevator that Cato is leaning against.

"Thank you?" he questions at me

"I had it undercontroll"

He shakes his head and sighs "Katniss you were about to start a fight and I'm pretty sure Haymitch told you not to be starting fights. And again what's with the short replies?" I know he's talking about the short conversation we had in district 12. And not giving him any satisfaction I just shrug my shoulders in response.
