We head into the training center. I walk to the knot-tying center. The man there looks pleased that someone has actually come. I learn how to tie some tricky knots that I think may be useful, especially one that can send a person or animal hanging by its foot in a tree.

Then, I decide to go to the camouflage station where you can mix mud and such to make yourself become camouflaged. I swirl some berry juice with mud with a bit of green until it looks like my arm is part of the ground. It sort of reminds me of frosting a cake, only you can't sneak a taste.

I glance around at the other tributes. There's obviously the one group of Careers with their bulging muscles and skillful hands. The Capital obviously pretends to not notice that District 1, 2, and 4 train.

I watch as a tall slim girl with long black hair shoots arrows at a target from over 100 feet away, never missing once. She manages to hit the bull's eye with her 50 arrows, some lodging onto other arrows. I see how she handles the bow and where she places her fingers and how she stares at the target aiming the arrow at it.

For a while I just watch others until I feel like I know how to do the same thing. When they catch me staring I just stick out my tongue and smile.

At night when I'm in bed, I practice stringing the bow and shooting the arrows where I spent the longest time watching. I try jabbing my opponent with a sword. I keep in mind the many edible berries and the plants. I can't wait to show the judges what I have learned.

Sorry for the short chapter, promise to update more!!! I had to split this with the chapter before :P
