Lily's POV

I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the clean window wall of my room. I looked over to see Sunny peacefully asleep, I didn't want to disturb her, there were only a few free days left in our lives. I began to shake her shoulders,

"Come on Sunny, time to get up." I said calmly, she shot up and almost hit my head in the process,

"Oh god, what time is it?" she asked, I looked at the clock.

"5:32" I replied, we all knew that they wanted us in the Training Center by 6:30.

"Get in the shower!" she yelled at me, I quickly took a shower, ridding myself of the paint and hair-spray. When I walked out I saw Sunny sitting at the vanity waiting for me, she pointed to the clothes on the bed and I gasped, they were the clothes that were worn two years ago. The clothes Rory wore while he was killed. Sunny walked over to me and gave me a hug before telling me that we needed to hurry. Once she was done with me my hair was curled and put up in a pony-tale. That was all she could do before Effie was knocking on the door telling us that we needed to leave and head to breakfast before we all were to go to training. Once we were outside the room I saw Rue slowly coming out of her room, I ran to her and smiled as I gave her a hug.

"Where were you?" she cried, I hugged her tightly,

"I'm so sorry, I needed some time to myself. But I promise it won't happen again." I told her quietly and she smiled before gripping my hand as we walked towards the Dining Room. Once we arrived I saw that Roy, CJ, Max, and Kyle were waiting for us at a table, I walked over with Sunny and Rue, Sunny immediately sat next to Kyle and smiled at him, he blushed deep scarlet, I laughed,

"Sunny, be nice." I said calmly and she gave a quick smirk. Effie came into the room and gave a sad smile,

"Ok, there has been an announcement. The president has decided to extend the time the Tributes will train. You will be training for five days rather than three, at the end of the fifth day you will have your Private Sessions with the Game-Keepers. Than on the sixth day you will have the Interviews, which have also been extended to five minutes rather than three, on the seventh day you will be sent into the arena." As she finished there were a few gasps and groans, but I was happy, we had three more days than any other Tributes before us to live!

I stood up as Effie left, I had eaten a few sausage rolls and a roll so I was going to last till lunch. I walked towards the elevator to see that my allies had followed me as well, once we were on the elevator and I pressed the button CJ spoke,

"This is my favorite part of the Capital!" he yelled and I smiled, he always stood so close to Rue it was adorable, then I realized something, once the elevator stopped on the Training Floor I pulled Rue aside,

"Honey, do you like CJ?" I asked and in reply she blushed, I gave her a hug and she giggled,

"Don't tell anyone though please." She begged and I took her hand as we walked towards the circle of Tributes, once Isabella saw me she came over with all the other Careers and smiled wickedly at me, I positioned Rue behind me again. I could feel her shaking,

"Oh, hay there District 12." She said with a smirk on her face, Sunny must have been done with dealing with Isabella because Kyle had to hold her back,

"Kyle let me go now!" she yelled as he held onto her wrists, he looked terrified.

"Let go of her." I said calmly, he looked shocked but he agreed,

"Ok, one thing. Just because out district is thought of as lower, we all know that all of the District 12 Tributes show major potential this year!" she yelled, Isabella laughed,

"Ya right." She said, I grabbed Sunny's hands. She was never a violent person, but if someone insulted her family, friends, or district she went all out.

"She's not worth it Sunny." I said trying to calm her down. Sunny looked at me and gave a mischievous smile,

"You're right she's just a little…" I cut her off right there, I knew exactly where that was going,

"Ok, let's go now Sunny." I half yelled, I looked at Isabella, well let's just say I know who she wants to kill right now. Kyle took Sunny towards the herbs and medical station with me following closely behind,

"What were you thinking?" I demanded and she just smiled,

"I was thinking that she needed to learn some respect and stop being so full of herself. Because we all know she's a poser, she wishes she was us." I laughed a little, Sunny can think what she wants to, but there's something about her that seems familiar.

Sorry it's kind of short, I've been having Writer's Block for a while now, but I have some good ideas, but I need help with the interview questions and costumes. Thanks
