Chapter 6
"Ok now guard," Cato said.
He was training me on how to use swords. Can I just say give me a fucking knife. I suck at using swords. I guarded as he nodded. He's disarmed me I don't know how many times.
"Cato I suck it's obvious," I said. I was getting irritated really fast.
"You're starting to get it. I've been handling swords for years. That's why I've been disarming you. If you have a sword you could easily kill most of the people in this room. Come on Starry cheer up for me," he said trying to get me to cheer up.
"I still suck, I'm going to throw knives," I said putting my sword back.
"I'll go with you. Where's my knife?" Cato asked looking around.
That's when he started getting angry. He got in the guy from 10's face yelling at him for taking his knife. I looked around and saw everyone looking up at the netting above us. I looked up and saw the girl from District 11 and Scott in the netting. The girl from District 11 had Cato's knife laughing. I chuckled grabbing Cato's arm.
"Come on Cato, it's just a knife you can use another one," I said dragging him to the knife station.
"He's dead," Cato growled.
"Please calm down for me," I said fake pouting.
He looked at me and chuckled. I knew he was still mad and was going to make that guy pay for something Scott and his friend did, but as long as he was happy for now that's all that mattered. I grabbed a knife and went to the targets. I closed my eyes and threw it.
"Starry what the hell? You can throw with your eyes closed," Cato said.
"Cato I kill an average of 10 snakes a day at home. I've had to kill them half asleep, of course I can."
"You just keep amazing me don't you?"
"Yep, now I'm going to go to the survival station to make sure I know what I'm doing," I said.
"Alright Marvel and I are going to throw spears if you need me."
===Time skip
"Fuck I'm nervous," I said as I paced around the apartment.
"Calm down, you have nothing to worry about. You're going to have knives to throw, that's not a problem," Conner said.
"I know, I can't help but feel nervous though," I groaned.
"You'll be fine," Conner said pushing me to the elevator.
Once I was outside the training room I saw Cato and the others. He smiled at me and I went over to them.
"You need to calm down, the nerves are radiating off of you," Cato said wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
"I can't help it," I muttered.
"Hey I'm going first, it won't be so bad," Glimmer said.
"Yeah, but they're still sober now, by my turn they'll probably be drunk," I said.
"Wow, then give them something to remember you by. You have it in you, I know you do," Cato grinned.
One at a time people were called in. I went over to stand by Scott when Cato went in. After what seemed like forever it was my turn. I went in and heard all of the Gamemakers joking with each other.
"Hello," I said getting no attention. My tongue ran across my teeth this is annoying.
"HEY!" I yelled getting their attention, well that's one way to do it.
"Star Weakley District 9," I said going over to the knives.
I took a few knives getting a feel for them. I took a deep breath and focused. I let my breath out and was ready. I threw my knives hitting the major points of the body again. I smirked having an idea. I threw my remaining knives in a pattern spelling out 'Hi'.
"Thank you," Seneca said nodding to me.
I bowed and exited the training room. I grinned at Scott as he looked petrified. I walked to the elevator, I pushed the up button and felt arms wrap around my waist.
"See you're fine," Cato whispered in my ear.
"I know; I had to yell to get their attention though."
"Hey whatever works, let's go to the roof," he said I nodded as we walked into the elevator.
When we were on the roof it was still beautiful outside. I sighed loving the feeling of the sun. Cato and I sat down together; we get closer to each other every day. He's the guy I was meant to be with and we had to meet here. We spent a good amount of time explaining our sessions. I smiled looking into his blue eyes. He smiled back and pushed his lips to mine. It was a loving kiss; we didn't have to prove anything we knew what the other was feeling.
'I would bet my life, like I bet my heart
That you were the one, baby
I've never been so sure of anything before
It's driving my heart crazy
I can't hold out, I can't hold back now
Like I've done before
Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to
I tell myself I'm in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Every time you look at me,' I sang to him.
"You have an amazing voice," he said.
"Thank you," I said hugging him closer.
"We should go back to our rooms to see our scores. I don't want to leave you though," he muttered.
"I know, but we have to," I said making him sigh.
We got in the elevator and pushed the numbers of our floors. He kissed me, before the doors opened for my floor. I smiled and walked into the apartment.
"There you are; where have you been young lady?" Tully asked angrily when I walked in.
"Relaxing, my nerves were going crazy," I said technically it wasn't a lie.
"Fine, now come the scores are about to be shown,"
We all sat in front of the screen as Caesar came on. Marvel and Glimmer both got a score of 9. Cato and Clove had a score of 10. The others went by in a blur, because they weren't very good. Then our district Scott got a 7 which I was happy for.
"Star Weakley with a score of 10," Caesar said making my eyes widen.
"That's amazing sweetie," Tully said.
I continued to watch as everyone else celebrated my score. Thresh got a 10 and Rue got a 7. I have a feeling that Scott and Rue are close friends now. What shocked me the most was Katniss getting an 11. I knew that she had a target on her back now.
