The Three Misfits

Beginning of Training Day 2

Leah Velvet D8F 12

I miss Alex, I know we left it weird, but I just wish I could say more. I have to get it out of my head and get ready for the long day today. I get up and go try to get this dry nasty taste out of my mouth. I use this bright green toothbrush with this weird paste that works pretty quickly. I go and turn on the shower and it takes me a few minutes, but I finally get the water at a good temperature and I get in. I use this foamy soap for my hair, I usually don't use this much water or soap but if I'm going to die in a few days might as well be clean as possible.

While I enjoy the water, I start to think about yesterday. It was an ok day, well as good as these days could be. Woolworth and I decided that we could trust each other enough to team up and while we were at the edible bug station a girl, Marigold from 9, was killing it. She actually helped us, which was weird since she was from 9.

After much thinking, we decided that She would make a great teammate and she said she was fast so that'll be useful. I know we're all young, but I think that'll allow us to slide under the rainbow, radar? I don't know but we will be hard to find.

While training we didn't go to stations with multiple people to try not to draw attention to ourselves.

Towards the end of the night when we all got into the elevator and Marigold looked into the mirror and said that "Hey guys look! We're like the 3 musketeers!"

Woolworth smiled and said, "more like the 3 misfits" Marigold and I both laughed.

I start to think, 3 misfits, 1 victor, and one very long game.

Woolworth Saint-Cloud D8M 15

After I get out of my shower I figure that I should head off to breakfast. I don't want to spend more time with Woof than I have to after him being rude to Leah on the train rides. I lasted this long but if he pisses me off again I might just lose it.

As I'm walking out of my room I run into Leah and I smile and ask, "How'd you sleep?"

She looks down and says, "For the first time since we got here, no nightmares."

I give her a pat on the back. I don't know what it is about Leah. I don't think about her in a romantic way, it's more like she's my little sister. I have to be careful; I can't get to attached because if they die, which for me to get home to Quilt and my family, they will. I'll be devastated.

As we walk towards the dining area I have to remember to distance myself or else, even if I live, I'll truly never move on.

As we go into the dining hall Woof and Julia are already there. Leah greets them and I just give the biggest fake smile I can muster and go straight for all the meats I can find. Eggs, bacon, and ham.

Most people from 8 don't know what these meats are but coming from a family like mine, I give people meat all the time all over 8, I feed them when I can, the stupid district doesn't do anything to help. All I know is that if I win, no one will sleep hungry for that week, and with basically unlimited money, I can make District 8 a better place. I have to survive first, that'll be the first part of my story.

Marigold Caden D9F 13

Barley is a great mentor and she seems to have taken a liken to me. I still don't talk much to anyone besides Leah and Woolworth, Leah more but yeah, I don't know what it was, I've never opened up with anyone like that before but we clicked and since she seemed like she trusted Woolworth, it seemed like it made sense.

While we're at breakfast with Barley, Rye comes out of his room with bags under his eyes like he hadn't slept in a couple of days. Mason follows soon after and I ask him about what happened with the career girls.

He didn't seem to happy thought I brought it up, so I try to change the subject quickly to tips from the mentors.

Barley is more than happy to help, and she asks, "So I know you're fast Marigold, what do you want to try to learn?"

I shrug and ask her "I don't have much experience with anything, especially weapons."

She sits there and thinks for a second, she says "Spears? They have the distance and if you get a small enough pole you can throw it and stab from afar."

I take it in for a second. A spear to stab? To kill? I mull it over and nod.

While I finish up my breakfast and start to wonder. Will I kill if it comes down to it? I think I can if it came down to it. I try to clear it from my mind while I finish my glass of water.

I make my way towards the elevator and Mason says he has to go to the bathroom, so he'll meet me down there. When I get on the elevator the pair from 11, I think are on it. I try to give a smile and avoid conversation.

If I can stay out of the way I might actually stand a chance. There's not like there's much waiting for me at home but sheer. It's ok, maybe I can be useful to someone.

Hey y'all, I know this is my second chapter in 12 hours... It's ok, I'm on break and I am really enjoying the story and how it's progressing so hurray for motivation? I think so. Anyways let me know what y'all think of these three! I have a couple of more chapters to go before the private sessions but the next chapter should be out soon! Thanks all. Until Next Time.
