Don't count me out
Chapter 4
I went to bed pretty early yesterday because Marion came and woke me up just as early saying that today was a big day. The only thing that made it a big day was that it was day one of training, I got changed into a black and red outfit, and I had no choice. When I finished putting my hair up I met Marion and Cato at the elevator, Marion hit a button and we were sent down to the training center, we were one of the first districts there. We got a good look at all of the tributes as they started coming in, district 12 was the last district to get there. Cato headed over to some obstacle course so I decided it was better if I didn't do much or anything since I knew how to do most of it. I did the obstacle course only because Cato said that the game makers would think that I wasn't capable of doing anything. I ended up being one of the fastest people to complete the obstacle course and when I finished I looked at Cato and said
"You happy? I actually did something."
He apparently didn't want anyone to hear what he was going to say because he whispered it in my ear.
"Don't show anyone what your capable of doing, save it for the private session."
I nodded, like I wasn't already doing that. I watched the rest of the tributes, I carefully watched district 12 and I noticed that they didn't go to archery or weight lifting. That struck me as odd so I assumed that it was something that they were good at.
About halfway through we were called to lunch, I sat next to Cato. He was busy making the career alliance that was almost always found in the hunger games, I had no choice but to be apart of it cause otherwise they would find me and kill me like the other tributes. We were sitting there talking with the other careers when we heard some laughing. We turned around to look at the source of it and it was from district 12, I got a glance from the district 12 boy and our eyes met. He clearly could see I didn't want to be here, he looked away back at his partner rather quickly probably Cato scared him off.
When we were released Cato beat me to the elevator so I had to go up myself, I grabbed and elevator and the district 12 boy joined me. I was planning on going up in silence until he said
"I'm Peeta."
I semi smiled to seem nice and said.
"Nice to meet you I'm Rosaline."
He nodded and the elevator got to my floor, these elevators were pretty fast.
"Good luck."
He said as I walked out of the elevator.
"Thanks. You too."
I watched as he left and when I turned around I nearly ran Cato over, he didn't seem to happy.
"What the heck are you doing?"
I started to walk past him and said
"Making an ally."
He followed me still determined to win this argument
"Why? What can he do that will help us?"
I spun around.
"He knows the district 12 girl, in the arena she will more than likely take off. So if we befriend him and get him in our alliance then maybe he will lead us to her."
Cato rolled his eyes.
"I could have thought of that."
I laughed and headed into my room.
"Yeah okay."
I closed my room door leaving him to go make more plans, I felt sweaty even though I didn't do much so I headed to the shower and debated over all of the buttons. I ended up hitting the default button and letting it do what it does. When I got out it dried my hair, now my hair smelt like roses. I headed to bed after taking another look at myself in the mirror. Tomorrow was another day in training so I needed as much sleep as possible.
