I wake up startled. Some one poured freezing water on my head.
"WHO DID THAT?!" I shout I move my soaking hair from my eyes and see Jason. "I hate you so very very much." I say darkly. I'm not in a good mood. I get up and grab my hair then squeeze the water out of my hair, onto Jason. Then I tackel him to the floor. Then I slap him around the face. "After all I've done for you. What was that even about?" I say.
"The careers. Isn't it odvious." A red mark is growing on his cheek.
"I'm sorry that I hit you but never do that again. Ever." I say. I regret doing that. I look at the clock. Its freaking four in the morning! "It's four in the morning. Really?" I say while getting a cloth and running it over cold water for Jason's cheek. "Well I did try to wake you up in more polite ways but you wouldn't wake up fo anything." He says, then taking the cloth of me and putting it to his cheek.
"What did you want to say?" I ask.
"I can't exactly tell you since you've slapped me around the face and told me you hate me." He says
"You poured ice water on me at four in the moring. If I was in my forest you'd be tied up with a black eye." I retort.
"Your forest? Nevermind. I'm not going to tell you now. I can't now actually." He says getting up and walking out.
"Don't do that again." I call after him
"Wouldn't dream of it." He calls back and I hear the door close after him. I fall asleep again.
I hear a knock on my door and whats-her-name calling that its time for breakfast.
"Go away!" I shout. She opens the door and I throw a pillow in her general direction. I throw another and I hear a squeal. "Shut up and go away!" I shout.
"One use my name-" She says
"I DON'T KNOW OR CARE WHAT YOUR NAME IS!" I interrupt.
"Its Goldia Tempalla and its nessary! Now stop throwing pillows." I throw another and I hear a thump and another squeal. "MY WIG!" I look up to see her real short white hair with her on hands and knee's scrabbling around on the floor.
"I don't want to get up." I say to myself.
"Get up." I hear someone say. Ty? It must be. "I said get up or I'll poor ice water on you." He says.
"Been there, done that. Go away." I say to Ty. I open one eye to see a confused look on his face. He come up to me and rips off my duvet and lifts me up.
"LET ME DOWN TY!" I shout. I'm thrashing about and eventually he loses his grip and I run back to bed and lie there.
"Get up Sky. You don't have a choice." He says.
"Whats the big deal?" I say.
"Just get up and get dressed Sky." I end up doing what he says. He has a bucket filled with ice cubes. I wear my training clothes and head to breakfast.
"Well?" I say
"Nothing." Nicko says. "We had a bet on who could manage to get you up fastest." He says smiling. "Well done Ty."
"He had a bucket of ice cubes." I say
"Oh then it doesn't count Ty." Arianna says
"I hate you all. Not you Arianna." I say returning to my room. I flop down on my bed and Ty literally drags me out of my room. Urgh... He says he was tempeted to tie me up and lock me in my room. I said that I would be glad to and to get off my back because you're not even my mentor. After a while I actually have breakfast with other people. By other people I mean Arianna. We talk about game tactics. I arrive just on time to hear the rules from yesterday and get training.
"Hey! Sky Oversea! Over here!" Titus yells. Urgh. I walk over and tell them a sob story I perpared. They belived it. Ha! I read it on their faces. So I'm not with them or against them. They don't really like me but I'm not a real target. Thats good. I practice and this time I have lunch. Oh no. The people from seven are walking up to me.
"Oi! Tweleve!" One of the boys from seven shouts.
"What?!" I ask roughly.
"Hey. Just trying to be nice."
"Well sorry that I'm not it a good mood because someone poured ice water on me at four in the morning and then people betting on me on who could get me up fastest. I'm not in a good mood at all so can you just leave me alone?" I say
"Well in that case... Why don't you let off some steam in a parkour race?" He asks
"Ok. I'm up for parkour." I say. Today's getting better. A girl from seven walks up. She's light and quick but not stong enough to pull herself up if she falls.
"Race starting in, Three, two, one GO!" A boy from seven anounces. I shoot across the corse. We took to different paths and now they meet up. So if I can move infront of her and make her fall. Then I win. I get faster and dive for the jump. The plan worked! She fell and managed to find a hand hold and she starts to climb up slowly. I keep shooting up. And the last jump. NAILED IT!
"And Girl from tweleve wins!" He shouts
"Its Sky by the way. Sky Oversea." I say when I reach the bottom
"Sky. Over. Sea?" One of the boys from seven says in between laughs.
"Oh shut up." I say while walking off to the fire starting section. I get bored of that quickly since I'm too good. I go to this quiz thing and flew through that. I did some knot tying and some traps. Jason was at the fire starting section making spears again. I go over and I make three resonable bows and a lot of arrows. I try out my bows and I do badly on purpose because the careers are a bit to close. They didn't realise that I made this stuff though. Thats good. I go back to the fire starting section and I burn my bows and arrows. Jason puts his spears in the fire too. Me and Jason head silently to the comoflage section. We arent that good but it'll do. I could hide a backpack in the woods... I've watch previous games on my own in my bedoom so I find out the back packs are bright orange and I've researched tactics and all that stuff. In the games I'm heading for the cornicopia. If there's a bow near by. Great. But I'm aiming for two back packs. Or more. One of the careers is a knife thrower. One they get their hands on a knife people are dead in seconds. So if anyone near gets killed by knives I'll take the knife out. Save them pain. It works both ways. I get a knife and they get less pain. I think thats pretty fair. Anyway, I spend almost all the rest of my training time painting camoflage. One girl in the games painted herself in camoflage so well that she ambushed and killed almost all the careers. The rest fell in a death trap she made. Pretty damn cool. Thats why I'm working so hard. I manage to be able to do desenct camoflage and I can cover up passages to make it look nataral. So I could hide in a cave and set up a base there. They built a new swimming section. Its really big but if I want to do that I'll have to do it tommmorow because its nearing the end of training. So I go to fishing. Close enough. I already know how to swim quite well but I could be better. I get to the fishing section. I manage to make a desent fishing rod with a hook and the instructor showed me good fishing bait then how to find it. The teacher says its time for quits and I head to the elevator that will shoot me up to my room. Jason manages to get in the elevator with me before I can close the doors and go up on my own. He just makes it.
"What did you want to tell me?" I ask.
"What? Oh umm... I can't tell you now." He says
"Yes you can. There isn't any cameras or people in here. I'm all ears." I say. He looks at me then shakes his head. Moments later the doors open and he speed walks to his room. I defintly saw a look on his face. Just breifly. Not just any look like lying, or suprise. No... I scan my memory to try and find that expression. Damn nothing... Maybe its best if I don't know... I ignore the feeling of knowing inside of me and I order some food and go to sleep. One more day of training to go. One day closer to the death sentence.
