Argh! Damn writers block. Can't write the last day of training so we shall skip to the Private session scores. Sorry, you aren't really missing anything. The private sessions happen on the last day of training anyway. Enjoy!
Cato's POV
"Cato come sit down and we'll watch the Scoring. I bet you and Clove did brilliantly. I guessing you showed them you swords skill and Clove did the same with her knives correct?" Serafina said. She was our escort. Not as shrilly as Katniss' escort Effie Trinklet but still a Capitol blonde.
"Boy you better have done well. This is your chance to show the Capitol who really has the dominant power. Take back the attention from 12"' Brutus said
I sat down next to Clove who seemed rather excited to get her score. I wonder what she actually did in her Private Session.
"Today, our 24 tributes showed their skills for our wonderful GameMakers during their Private Sessions. We may not see what goes on behind metal doors but we do see how our tributes score up." Caesar said
"From District one Marvel Nigross with a score of 9. Also from District 1 Glimmer Waters with a score of 9"
Caesar continued to give out scores. Clove and I both received 10's. Most districts got around the '5' range. The boy from 5 got a 2. He clearly has no skill and will be easily killed. The girl tribute got a 6. The small twelve-year-old from 11 pulled up a 7. The boy got a 9. Finally we had reached district 12. I listened in eager to see what Katniss got but also how Peeta did.
"From District 12 Peeta Mellark with a score of 8 and finally Katniss Everdeen with a score of…11!"
Katniss got an 11! She scored highest out of all of us. She obviously used a bow and arrow shooting down every target. Even though it was annoying that she scored higher than me I was glad. It meant that she had a better chance of surviving. Our scores are what draw in sponsors to help us survive in the Games.
"An Eleven! How did that rat get an Eleven! Answer me boy. You were supposed to be on top." Brutus was furious but I didn't care what he thought.
"Brutus, we'll turn things around in the interviews. Just chill alright." I yelled back at him.
"You better" Brutus stormed out of the room followed by Serafina and Enobaria.
"At least she did well" Clove said as soon as everyone was out of earshot. We didn't want them to know we were 'Fraternising with the enemy' as Brutus would call it.
"Yeah I know. Come on let's go to bed" I said getting up and heading to my room.
Katniss' POV
"You got an eleven Katniss! Sweetheart you are outshining everyone. First the tribute parade and now you training score. If you keep this up and do well in the interview tomorrow, I'll have sponsors flowing with gifts for you. Good work" Haymitch said giving me a gentle hug but firm at the same time.
"Yes you did brilliantly Katniss. We might actually have a Victor this year. I can imagine it now. Victor Katniss Everdeen of the 74th Hunger Games from District 12." Effie was over the moon. I guess I should be happy but if I come out then that means Cato doesn't. I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday.
"Thanks Effie. I kind of tired so I'm going to bed. See you in the morning" Truth was I really want to go up to the roof again. It wouldn't matter if Cato was or wasn't up there. I just wanted to get away. I didn't bother with waiting for everyone to go to bed.
"Katniss, Katniss wake up" someone said. My eyes refused to open but I did anyway. The first thing I see was Cato's eyes. I look around and find that I'm still on the roof. I must have fallen asleep in one of the hammocks.
"Cato?"
"Hey Katniss. Did you sleep here last night? Your whole team is going crazy looking for you. I came up to see you but Haymitch told me you were missing. Seventy – Four years and you're the first tribute to go missing." Cato broke out into a grin.
"How did you find me then?" I asked. I thought about how Haymitch was telling me about the cameras. Obviously there weren't any on the roof.
"I had I good idea where you were and I was right. Why did you come up to the roof?"
"Everyone was praising me about my eleven. Effie even went so far as to say I will be the Victor of the 74th Hunger Games. I just wanted to get away from it all. I came up here but I guess I fell asleep." I was wide awake now so I sat up. Cato was sitting next to me.
"How did you get that eleven anyway? You've caused quite a stir among all the tributes. Enobaria thinks that you slept with one of the GameMakers. I just laughed at her and said she was stupid to think that."
"Well no, I did not do that. What happened was I went into the room and picked up the bow and arrow. I don't know what happened. It was like the bows in the training room, still the same weight. I shot but I missed the red centre and instead hitting the white. I lost whatever attention I was holding. The second time I shot was better, it hit the bullseyes but none of the GameMakers were watching. They were all focused on some dead pig which was lunch. I noticed the apple in the pig's mouth; me naturally being me, I shot at the apple which was flung against the wall pieced by my arrow. You should have seen Seneca's face-"
"You shot at them?" Cato seemed shocked
"Not at them, at the apple. I knew I wouldn't harm them. Don't interrupt"
"Sorry, so what happened next" he seemed rather interested in what happened
"Nothing, well I thanked them for their consideration while bowing and dismissed myself. While walking out I flung the bow over my shoulder."
"You dismissed yourself?"
"Yep, that's my story"
"Cool, well we should head back"
"Ok fine. Oh you said you came up to see me because you wanted to talk about something. What? Did you want to talk about?" I walked in the elevator with Cato and waited for it to descend.
"Oh it's nothing, I'll tell you later" We had reached level 12. "See you at the interviews Katniss"
"Ok, see you later." As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, they all pounced on me but Haymitch was the worst or was it Effie?
"Where Have You Been?!" Effie screeched at me (Tell me where this is from?)
"Up on the roof, no big deal" I said going to my room
"Katniss we need to talk about this"
"Whatever Haymitch" I closed the door of my room.
