Stage Two of the Plan
I was going to do average in training, as Finnick told me, just show my knowledge of survival, not my talent (as if I had any) and I sit next to Finnick watching the big TV on District 4's floor. My hands in his though no one notices. Andy sits on the other side of Finnick nervously tapping his fingers. Kayii is on the other sofa sitting watching intently as Andy and my stylist sits next to her. The scores of the District 3 girl comes up. Then a picture of Andy from the Chariot Ride and he appears to get a 9. "Well done Andy!" Finnick exclaims. He must feel bad, he's got different tactics for Andy, he wants me to win, he knows Andy can't win if I do.
I bite my nail and a picture of me pops up. The score is written underneath and I smile in glee. A 6. He hugs me tightly and laughs with happiness. "Well done Annie!" he says.
"Well done Andy, Annie I suppose you did ok." Kayii says as we watch all the rest of the reaping. Most of the other Districts get in the 7s or 8s, the Career tributes as usual get 10 and above though no one gets 12. "Off to bed you lot, interviews tomorrow. You'll be practising with Finnick, Andy you in the morning and Annie you in the afternoon. The other part of the day you'll be with me, practising presentation."
I yawn and make my way to my massive bedroom and collapse on the bed. Tomorrow Finnick will tell me his plan, which will be good. A couple of minutes later as usual Finnick comes and huddles up with me in the bed. I smile as I feel his hands wrap around my chest and fall asleep in his arms.
