The Pretty Boys

End of Training day 1

Mason Garnett D9M 17

I eat lunch with Kolten, the boy from 12, we met during training, with most of the outliers being so young, I think the other old outlier would be my best chance to survive without slowing me down

. I look around trying to use my charm to gain some sympathy from the careers. After lunch, Kolten and I go next to the girl from 1 and 2, Brielle and Bellona respectively, I think. All the female careers are stunners and I need to make nice. They at the throwing knives by themselves so I think this is our chance. While we're walking up Brielle just hit a dummy in the eye from 15 yards out.

"So, you're lethal and beautiful sounds like my type of girl," I say while I wink.

She looks at me and scoffs and says, "Is that supposed to work?"

I lean closer and whisper "I dunno did it." I turn on my seductive voice.

Brielle turns to me and leans in real close and whispers in my ear "well considering I want to throw this knife where the sun doesn't shine you tell me." She says this as she turns and nails the dummy right in the crotch area.

I don't wavier, "I guess I'll be seeing around." I say as I start to turn around but right before I do Kolten steps in and says to Bellona, "I would love to paint you sometime?." This is where I instantly regret bringing Kolten along with me, I know how he talks and it's kind of weird.

Bellona doesn't like this either so she grabs her knife and next thing I know she's holding a knife to Kolten's throat and has this not serious look in her eyes, but like she's flirting but I can tell she is trying to downplay it.

"sure, we'll use your blood for the paint how does that sound?" he says nothing and walks back away slowly.

Peacekeepers come rounding the corner toward us and Bellona waves them off. "Don't worry guys, we're just having a good time, right boys?"

Kolten and I nod. The peacekeeper just yells "No more fighting."

I grab Kolten by the shirt and walk away towards rope climbing station while we hear the girls laughing behind us. Great my ally just drew a target on our backs from the most lethal careers in the games, great start.

After the career girls were laughing at us Mason seemed embarrassed by the whole situation, but I got what I needed. We only have about an hour before training ends. I want to practice rope climbing and Mason since we don't have to be near anyone since most people have either left or went towards the weapons.

I start climbing the ropes when I see a loose rope on the floor. Mason gets a quarter of the way up the rope when he sees me and he just kind of rolls his eyes, but I know what I am doing. I am using the ropes to make a sculpture. It's becoming into a masterpiece, rope after rope, knot after knot.

I was upset about being reaped at first, but I realized over time that if I die in the games and I can make myself memorable somehow then my pieces, my masterpieces would be worth fortune. My rope sculpture is almost finished with I look up and it's just Mason and me left in the training center with the peacekeepers walking toward us. They tell us we have to leave know. They won't let me take my sculpture with me upstairs, but I slip a piece of rope in my pants.

As we go into the elevator Mason says "Dude, if we are going to stand a chance we have to fly under the radar of the careers."

I look at him as we get to the ninth floor and say "Ok, I'll let you do the talking." He nods and gets off at his stop.

I ride the elevator the rest of the way up and when I get there I see everyone gathering in the kitchen. Philomena, our escort/mentor, and Annie are there getting ready for dinner.

Philomena asks Annie what she learned today. Annie smiles and says, "I made a couple of friends, I think we're going to ally!" I roll my eyes.

Philomena asks me what I learned I figure this is my chance to make a move. "Well I learned how to climb the rope and I made a friend too," I say as I stare at Philomena. She looks away and just keeps eating.

These women don't know what they're missing. Oh well her loss. It's ok as the games go on she'll see how much of a catch I am, the whole capitol will see.

Hey y'all three updates in three days, I'm feeling the groove again and I love it. Anyways let me know what y'all think and the next update will be out soon! Until Next Time.
