TRAINING DAY 2

Garret's POV

I had stayed up basically all night thinking what on Earth I'd do if it came to the thought of having to give up Carina. She was a beautiful girl, lovely and friendly in every way. Of course a bit stuttery and shy, but everyone had flaws. Strangely I notice Luke noticing the way I look at her. As well as noticing the expressions of disgusts on every other face in the school. But it seemed to soon the bed was soaked with tears as our escort came banging on the door telling me to get ready for breakfast.

I get up with the same strange taste I always get in my mouth, berries. Ever since I was little, it's just; sorta been there. A glance at the mirror tells me I see why Carina doesn't like me, plus I need to brush my hair. I run my figners through the short brown, and give my teeth a quick brush.

Clothing. That was my problem here. Clothes. They didn't have style, they had way to strange colors, and I certainly wouldn't be wearing any of those. After settling with some navy blue pants and an orange shirt, I went into the hall.

The orange seemed to have an effect on the servants walking by, they either stared, or glanced in awe. Voices in a distance told me someone was sobbing, while another disembodied voice comforted them.. My footsteps were muffled by the carpet as I walk silently through the halls.

"I-I don't want to do this Luke." I could imagine Carina holding Luke's hand here, how I longed to be Luke right now. I could help comfort her, perhaps kiss her as I have always wanted to.

"I know, but we have to. It's not like we can escape or anything." Luke's soothing voice is quieter, and the crying stops. More muffled noises, it takes me a moment to realize that they are going out into the hallway. I quickly duck back into a door, and shut it behind me. I am surrounded by mops and cleaning supplies. The footsteps echo as they walk away, leaving me to wish I was holding her.

After a minute or so of waiting until I was sure they were gone, I came back out again and found my way to the dining room. There was a hallway probably leading to a kitchen of some sort. Whatever they have here in the Capitol. I sit down and surely I know I'm the only person at the table. I silently serve myself and begin eating. I have something called a bagel, it's round bread and a hole in the center; then cut in half so I can put condiments on it. Then this orange drink, it's orange juice. They take a simple orange and squeeze out the juices, it's really good and I immediately fall in love with it.

Carina and Luke come in and sit across from me, I can see the red hiding in the whites of Carina's eyes. Luke looks stress, his face is fairly pale compared to the usual paleness. A glance upward tells me she's staring at me with those big brown eyes, I can't take it. I want to run and just hold her, forever. And never let go.

"Mornin'." Kathleen says the simple words and sits down at the head of the table as always. She puts the same as yesterday on her plate, eggs and sausage. I stuff a fluffy round of bread onto my plate, also known as a pancake. Once I'm nearly finished the little girl, the second tribute girl comes and sits beside me. She eats slowly and doesn't dare look up from her plate. Luna comes in and sits across from Kathleen, she doesn't greet anyone, but with her I can see those same red eyes as if she has been sobbing all morning.

Before anyone can protest, me and my orange shirt leave to go downstairs for training. Yesterday I watched Carina shoot spears, and talk to a few people. While I myself chatted with the careers, it seemed though I made them angry and frustrated. For the boy from District 1 threatened me that I would be his first kill.

But today I enter the training room to find myself alone, with one other. A simple boy shoots arrows in the far corner. The decision to join him came up as a simple surprise, but I choose to go along with it. "Hey." A simple greeting.

A shot erupts from his bow, the kid seems buff. To the point where girls from District 4 would start drooling. He has blonde hair that hangs just over his hazel eyes. He wears a brown shirt and brown pants with, guess what, brown boots.

"Hi." The boy is blunt, obviously, he keeps shooting until his queue is all out. I pick up a bow from the bin, as well as an arrow and try it out. Damn, I really suck at this don't I? My arrow is "off-balance" so it ends up landing behind the other kids target.

He immediately stops shooting and stares in my direction, finally I can't take it and I ask, "What's so amazing?" He smirks a moment then returns to shooting.

What. The. Hell. "You remind me of someone. That's all." He replies without a glance.

"Who?"

"A friend." God, he's so straightforward. I hate it!

"So, I don't get to know who, nor your name?"

To this, he nods. Then he adds, "Damian. Damian is my name. I'm from District 4." Strange, I'd expected a District 1, due to his looks and his eagerness to train.

Before I could tell him my own name a large crowd of people began filling in. I sneaked a glance then came back to Damian. "Garrett. From 5." I then put the bow and arrows away before others could join. An unspoken alliance had just been formed.

Carina and Luke came in together, her eyes were back to whites and brown. Their fingers were no longer entwined.

"G-Garrett!" She lightly jobs over and I smiled to her. "I wanted to tell you, I've formed an alliance with Katrina. You're welcome to join me and Luke." Carina smiles innocently and I replied with a nod.

Right there, I wanted more than anything to caress her chin, feel my lips on her own.

Her hands interlocked with my own.

"Damian over there," I gesture to the arrows station, "He seems like a nice ally." Just as I finished Luke came over, I noticed his eyes were trained on me.

"Garrett. Are you joining us?" A simple nod.

"Well, I hope you're prepared for this." He says taking Carina away.

And that's when I figure out who his first kill is.
