The very next day, training began for all tributes. Clove was thrilled to finally meet Glimmer, the shining girl from District 1. Clove and Cato exited the elevator and swiftly spotted their fellow careers. Clove could hardly contain her exhilaration, but she forced herself to steadily walk over to the District 1 tributes.
"Hello, my fellow Careers." Glimmer said.
"Hey. We forming an alliance, or what?" Cato asked.
Glimmer and Marvel both nodded.
"All four of us." Marvel said.
"And don't forget District 4." added Cato.
Glimmer frowned. "I haven't gotten to talk with them yet, but I do have plenty of time." Glimmer turned to Clove. "You looked really cute in the Tribute parade last night, by the way. You're from District 2, so I assume you're good with weapons."
Clove gulped and nodded. "Yes. I know how to throw knives."
Glimmer grinned. "Throwing knives? That's going to do us some good!"
Clove blushed. "Well, I hope so."
"I think you're going to be a wonderful addition to our alliance. Now Cato, what are your skills?" Glimmer interrogated.
Clove didn't pay attention to the rest of the conversation. She already knew what Cato was capable of.
"Wonderful addition…" she thought to herself. "Glimmer said I'm going to be wonderful! This is most certainly something to be excited about."
Clove then took it upon herself to go talk to the tributes from District 4 to prove her usefulness.
