The Friendly Boi's

Training Day 2

Capricorn Makus D6M 14

Before I get up for the day I start to think astrology, my favorite thing to think about. It calms me down. I think of my parents and if I'll get to see them soon if I die in the games. I was really bummed yesterday but I met a couple of people after lunch that gave me some hope. Uriah from 11 and Annie from 12. They're both super nice to me and it's quite refreshing since it's so different. Beatrice, my mentor has been nice enough and Markus too but it's just different because Annie and Uriah don't have to be nice, but they are.

Barbara, my district partner hasn't been mean but she's just so mad all the time, it's hard talking to her, she always rants how dumb the games are, I agree but I know the capitol is listening so I just keep my thoughts to myself, where they are safe and sound.

I don't bother showering since I didn't do much yesterday but focus on survival skills. My grandfather used to take me camping all the time so that is finally going to come in handy. I am late for breakfast, so I hurry and grab some fruit before heading to the elevator. Barbara looks up from here breakfast and gives me a blank glare.

I hurry out because I am meeting Annie by the elevator and Uriah said he had to do something this morning, so we all want to tackle training together. As I head for the elevator and I press the button I sit waiting. It takes a while, so I assume it's dropping some people off. When the elevator gets to my floor its empty, thank goodness, I'm afraid this is my only time for quiet, great.

Uriah Winter D11M 13

While at breakfast I can't stop thinking about the games. I dig into my breakfast. Eggs, bacon, orange juice, this sweet pastry. I'm trying to put some weight on before the games.

I hurry and finish my breakfast before the training so I can play the piano a little before I go down. I told Annie and Capricorn I have something to do and this is it. I'm at my most relaxed when I play the piano, it's what I'm best at, it reminds me of home. I get to the piano where I set down my glass of orange juice next to it.

It's the most beautiful piano I've ever seen in my entire life. It's pearl white, with sleek white and black keys. I touch the first one, f sharp. Beautiful, I touch the next one, before I know it I am playing my favorite ballad and it's like the room is dropping around me and my worries are falling with it. Key after key, paddle after paddle, it's all coming along so nicely. I finish about 5 minutes later and Seeder and Amira, my district partner, are clapping. I smile, this is the most fun I've had this whole time.

I finish off my juice and hurry to the elevator to meet Annie and Uriah. I get on with Amira and go down to the training center. Amira and I part ways when I see Annie and Uriah.

"Where do you guys wanna go?' I ask them together.

We decided that we will stick together for the rest of the training to promote unity among us and so we can have chemistry in the games.

We all know without allies you don't last long in the games.

That is unless your allies betray you, great another thing to worry about.

While Capricorn is waiting on Uriah to get done we gaze around the room to see the other tributes. Most of the other tributes are here already I believe, and I see them go to work at the various stations. The careers are at the weapons stations, of course, the girl from 1 is at the fire-starting station, that's weird you rarely see careers at survival stations.

The only other big alliance is these 3 kids at the running station. I'm hoping with so many people alone we stand a chance. We haven't talked much about arena strategy yet, but we need to stick together no matter what.

As soon as Uriah gets downstairs he asks us what we want to do. Capricorn seems indifferent so I see that careers from 2 leave the sword station for the spear station so we head that way.

Capricorn picks up a sword that's a little too big, so we have to help him put it back. We all chuckle together, and I say "let's start with the little ones and we work our way up" I smirk. Capricorn smiles and Uriah grabs a small dainty one. I pick one of the small ones too, it's light, it's easy to swing and it seems sharp enough that I can do some real damage if I need to.
Uriah swings the small one and instantly looks like he has a look of regret and despair on his face.

Capricorn and I look at each other and I nod and ask Uriah "What's wrong pal?"

He looks at us and says, "I don't think I can do it."

"do what?" Capricorn asks sincerely.

"I don't think I can kill." He says while looking down. I pull him into a hug.

Poor kid, I know it's not ideal to have an ally who won't kill but I feel bad for him. I'm making it my goal to protect these two in games, even if it's the last thing I do.

Hey y'all here's another update and I'm back in school but I'm glad I am keeping to a schedule. Anyways here's these 3! All I have is one more update before the private sessions! It's coming along nicely and let me know what you all think of the alliances and who are y'all favorites. Until Next Time.
