Day 3


Cat Oxnard

District 8- Hoohliolo

Somehow, I was still in the group I was in on the first day. Kevlar, Esmeralda, me and Rei.

The biggest shock was finding out Esmerelda came from District 1. She doesn't act like Drake does at all.

I don't like Drake but I like Esmerelda.

Yesterday we focused a bit on survival stations but we tried some weapons out today.

To my surprise, Esmerelda was really good at throwing knives. I liked bow and arrows, which I was about average at, and the parkour station.

To my surprise, I was actually pretty good, my weird flexibility really helped and I found it to be my absolute favourite station.

There was only one small problem, my hair kept getting in the way. I would tie it into a plait but by the end of the day it would be mostly fallen out and my hair was so long that after a while, a ponytail would give me a killer headache.

Something would have to change and fast.

I walked over to my group, all of them practicing with swords, "Do any of you guys know how to cut hair?"

District 8- Hoohliolo

The third day marked the first day I decided not to take my trumpet with me to training. It was an impossible decision, it was something if been playing more than ever in these few days. But we were practicing with weapons today and I would honestly give up completely if my trumpet was broken.

Me, Reiko and Esmerelda were practicing with swords when Esmeralda came obse with a strange look on her face. "Do any of you know how to cut hair?"

Surprisingly it wasn't anyone in the group to answer, but a slightly short guy with messy hair,. He looked about a few years older than me.

"I can," he said, "I used to cut my sister's hair. Um, sorry for eavesdropping."

Cat smiled at him, "Could you cut my hair a bit below my shoulders?"

I was a bit surprised at that, Cat had waist length hair and she was asking him to cut off a good 10 inches.

He nodded, "Where should we do it?"

None of us could think of a place for a while until Reiko suggested we borrow a pair of scissors from the knot tying place and do it over one of the sinks in the camouflage area.

Cat and the boy agreed to that so we all went over to the camouflage place.

Aaron Miller

District 9- Hoohliolo

I wasn't really interested in the other tributes, I just trained alone, but I still came to watch when the red head got her hair cut.

Most tributes did though. The careers didn't, and the guy from 12 didn't, but they were they only exceptions.

The girl looked terrified as the boy first brought the scissors to her hair and I didn't blame her. If she died, she'd have bad hair forever.

The boy was obviously no expert but he did a pretty good job, the ends weren't all even at the back but it wasn't noticeable as the girl had slightly curly hair anyway.

I laugh at his expression when the girl gives him a big and a kiss on the cheek. He looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

I don't care of course, but I notice that whilst before he stood and trained alone, he now trained in the group of 4, now 5.

Addilyn Robyns

District 10- Hoohliolo

Training was really cool to be honest. Me and Reuben mostly stuck together. Not like an alliance or anything, but we were both from 10 and we were in the same tribe so it made sense.

Like almost everyone, we watched the world's most dramatic haircut. My hair wasn't long enough to pose a problem, but even if it was I don't know how she could trust someone to do that.

Someone that technically wants her dead.

Although I'm absolutely terrible with a bow and arrow, I'm not bad with a crossbow. Apparently it's easier to learn.

Reuben was a bit too small for any of the bigger weapons but daggers worked well for him and it wasn't like weapon training would be too important for these games.

Other than that, we both liked the tracking stations and knot tying.

They were cool.

Reuben Lambert

District 10- Hoohliolo

"What do you wanna do?" I ask Addilyn after the haircut drama has finished. I don't really see the big deal about it to be honest, it's just hair.

Addilyn doesn't agree with me for some reason.

"We can visit the plants," she suggests, "We meant to yesterday but we didn't get round to it."

I nod my head and we walk over, most people visited this station in the first 2 days so no one else in our team is here.

It's basically a giant game of memory and we set it so we're playing against each other. Out of 100 questions, I get 59 right and Addilyn only just beats me with 61.

Neither of us know what else to do, the test took us about half an hour to for us to complete it and for it to generate our score. The average is 55 so we both did well, especially as our district specialises in animals.

Suddenly, from the corner of the room we hear a shout, it isn't hard to see why when we look over and see a trainer whimpering in pain and Jaxon- the creep from 12 standing above her with a blank expression on his face.

Jaxon Bod

District 12- Hoohliolo

"It wasn't my fault!" I protest to the gamemakers, "She provoked me!"

I was working with weights and the trainer was standing next to me making shitty suggestions and not realising I wanted to be alone.

I snapped and chucked a weight at her asking her to do it if she was so clever. It landed on her foot and she started 'crying.'

I'm pretty sure it was fake crying. It wasn't even a heavy weight.

The gamemakers took me out of training and I apparently wasn't allowed to go back to weights and I was considered 'dangerous' now.

It was unfair! It's not like I killed her or anything. She shouldn't have been so annoying!

Apparently I broke her foot and if that's even true, it just means she has really weak feet.

Everyone in the Capitol overreacts way too much and now I'm banned from my favourite station.

Fuck them.
