Hey all, here comes a shorty short chapter. BUT I'm in a typey mood so I might add a few chapters today which would be lovely, yes? WOOT. NAO READ.
Carina's POV
He's different, I see the glint in his eye. He looks stressed, like theres a battle going on in his head. He barely smiles, only when he catches me staring, then that familar smile appears. Oh Luke, I wish none of this would have ever happened.
Training was mostly the same, boring yet needy. Until the fourth day came, the scores were going to be released tonight. Me and Luke set out early with 46 others that meants a long time waiting. Garrett showed up after District 3 was done, then came Hazel. We stood behind Luke and Garrett.
"Luke Foster." A voice calls and I watch as he goes in. I wait. And wait. More waiting. Finally after what seems like hours Luke comes out grinning from ear to ear. "Garrett Hemsworth." A grin is visible as he enters.
Garrett's POV
The training room. Terror, fear, hopeful triumph. Hazel commented earlier about how good I was with a bow and arrow, I decided it'd be best to try that.
The bow feels strong in my grasp, familar. The woosh noise shoots past me, "Dammit." I mutter as I don't even hit the target! Another twenty minutes of this and I'm done with that station. Just as I'm about to try swords the tiniest voice comes up, "Ahem, you are excused now." A little plump woman in the corner spoke softly with a smile. Her posture was incredibly straight, with bows hiding her chubby, almost bare scalp. She waved goodbye and tried to smile more but her cheeks were already bulging red.
I gave a nod and left, it was obvious she had a long day, however I didn't know nor had I ever seen this woman before.
Clearly Carina was shaking as she walked past me when her name was called. Her eyes obviously pleading to go home, if only I could embrace her and tell her everything was going to be alright. Instead I sulked back to my room.
Pointless almost, but needed yes. NAO, read and review please :)
