Mentor
Katniss's POV
We went in the elevator to the twelfth floor, where there were four rooms. Living in District 12, where you share a room, Prim and Rory didn't want to be by themselves, so Prim and I went into one room, and Gale and Rory went into the other room.
The next day at breakfast, Haymitch asks the most obvious question.
"Do you want to be trained together?"
"Well, duh." said Gale.
"Got any advice?" I asked.
"Yeah. Stay alive." says Haymitch.
God, that set us off. Gale and I stood up and Gale snatched Haymitch's beer bottle off him. Yeah, that's a great idea. Not. That ended in a punch to the head for Gale. So, I picked up a knife that's used for putting butter on bread. They have more than one type of knife here in the Capitol. One for cutting bread, and another for cutting a meat called steak that comes from a cow lots. There is one for every different food, anyway. I throw this knife at Haymitch. He only just dodged it by a centimetre and he nods. What the hell?
"What are you good at?"
"Bow and arrow." I say.
"Snares." says Gale.
"Edible and medicinal plants." says Prim
"camouflage." says Rory
"Don't show your skills in training." says Haymitch.
Clove's POV
We go on the elevator to the second floor and find four rooms. Cato lifts me up bridal style and takes me into a room. I hear the other girl call out.
"Um, aren't we suppose to have our own rooms?" What's her name? Oh, yeah. Bell. I can't wait to kill her. Cato has dropped me on the bed, so I get up and walk over to the door and yell.
"Yeah, but nobody cares. You are gonna die anyway."
"I'm not gonna die, I'm gonna win."
"Keep telling yourself that."
I slammed the door shut and sat back down on the bed where Cato is and kissed him.
The next day, we went down to breakfast and Bell and Cody (that's the boy tributes name, I think) are already there, as well as our mentors, Enobaria and Brutus.
"So, what are you good at?" asks Enobaria.
"Knives." I say.
"Swords." Cato says.
"Spears." says Cody and Bell together. Well, they are a lot alike.
"What's with the synchronization?" I say.
"We're twins." says Bell
Glimmer's POV
We go in the elevator up to the first floor and see 4 rooms we all go in to a different room the other tributes jewel and Tye met us at the elevator in the morning. They are weird when we get down to the dining room. Cashmere and Gloss are there waiting for us, but as soon as we sit down, Gloss begins.
"What are you good at?"
"Spear." says Marvel.
"Bow and arrow." I say.
"Wrestling." says Tye.
"Camouflage." says Jewel.
