Don't Count me out
Chapter 7
When we were released after interviews I was about to go into my room when Cato came over to me and said
"Good luck tomorrow Rosaline."
I smiled, tomorrow was the first official day of the games and I wasn't ready at all.
"Thanks, good luck to you too."
I knew that the chance of me dying on the first day was slim because I had trained my whole life for this but there was always that chance. Cato must have seen the fear in my eyes because he kissed my forehead before saying
"Don't worry, I won't let you die."
That brought me a little more confidence and I nodded, he stepped back and said
"I suppose we should probably rest up for tomorrow."
I nodded
"Yeah."
I watched him walk away before I headed into my room; I walked into the bathroom and got ready for a shower. I hit the default button again and just let it do what it was going to do. After I was done in the shower I changed into pajamas and crawled into bed. No matter what I did though I couldn't fall asleep; I ended up just sitting on the edge of my bed. Tomorrow we were all going to be put to the test to try and win.
I was up pretty early seeing as I hadn't really slept to begin with, my stylist was soon in with an outfit, it was some simple black pants with a black tee shirt to match, not only that but he had a nice red and black jacket. After I had gotten changed he did my hair and I didn't really object to anything. When I looked in the mirror it looked quite nice, it was a braid that he had split into jut flat hair. I smiled and thanked him. We walked to the elevator which took us to where I was supposed to be put on the metal plate to be taken into the arena. We said our goodbyes since I might not be coming back, he said good luck and I nodded as I was taken up to the arena. Cato was on my left and Glimmer was to my right. Across the big flat field I could see Peeta, Katniss and several other tributes. I got a good look at all of the stuff in the cornucopia and saw some knifes, spears and an assortment of other stuff. I saw a bow and arrow and looked for some stuff to grab and run. Then I realized I wouldn't need to run, I could fight and that's what I was going to do.

I got ready to run and grab the nearest weapon but I didn't step off the plate since if we did that the mines would blow us to bits.

Cato looked at me once and nodded as if to say he was ready, I nodded back.
