Well this dinner was quite interesting. The stylists kept having whispered conversations while looking back and forth at Scarlette, who just smiled innocently at them. Meanwhile Dominic was trying to lighten up the mood, telling the worst jokes you could think of, but ended up getting glared at by the stylists. He then continued eating in silence.

The food also had more variety, which I liked, cause some of it was more like what I got at home. Thinking of home makes me think about my grandfather. I suddenly feel guilty that I haven't thought of him for a while. Meanwhile he's probably thinking about me constantly. We'll never see each other again, and while I've excepted that I'm not sure that he ever will. It must be so hard for him. And then there's my two best friends. I haven't thought about them whatsoever. I wonder how they are coping.

I poke my fork into my mashed potato, but decide I can't eat anymore. So then they bring out desserts. I've never really liked desserts much, so I don't have any. Scarlette gives me a look that reads, 'are you kidding', and then almost literally dives into the desserts.

Watching the tribute parade on the massive tv after dinner shows Scarlette and I looking genuinely enthusiastic, along with a few others, while for many of the other tributes that tried to look the same way, you could easily tell they were acting. The costumes look absolutely ridiculous. A particular one I do notice is District 3's. They are dressed in a silver puff ball with buttons and wires sticking out of them in clashing colours. They even had ludicrous headpieces to match. I feel somewhat mean for laughing in my head. I bet they weren't to happy about those costumes! Scarlette and I were really quite fortunate!

At that moment something just occurred to me. Why do I even want sponsors? What would really be the point if I'm not going to survive anyway? As if Scarlette was reading my thoughts, she says...

"At least if we get some sponsors it'll make life a little better until the end."

Yeah, I think, she is right.

In the morning I wake up to the sound of someone badly imitating trumpets. I immediately grab my pillow and wrap it around my head. The person then giggles and says, "wake up sleepy head! We have training today." I raise my head just in time to see Scarlette put on a fake serious face and begin punching and kicking the air.

"How are you so energetic at this time in the morning!" I exclaim. "And what gives you permission to burst into my room like that?" I add on jokingly.

She just shrugs and skips out of the room while saying, "I expect to see you at breakfast in 5 minutes maximum!"

I see that there are clothes laid out for me, but I can't be bothered to put them on. Instead I give a big yawn and put on some fluffy slippers before trudging out to the dining room.

"Ohh about time!" Scarlette jokes as I walk in, even though it hasn't even been five minutes.

I am just hovering over my seat when my stylist shrieks, "you can't sit here looking as if you've just gotten out of bed!"

"I have just gotten out of bed", I retort.

"Oh I know that!" He says, "but you are not meant to give that impression!"

I roll my eyes, but don't bother arguing.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

When we arrive at the training area there are about half of the tributes there. Everyone is super quite and just standing around awkwardly. The rest of the tributes came along pair by pair until we were just waiting for the District 4 tributes. Minutes begin to pass and apparently we should have already started training, but we have to wait for everyone to come. I wonder what's taking them so long!

Eventually they arrive. Both of them walk towards the group in opposite directions. They both look very red with anger and are glaring at each other, and don't seem to realise there are other people in the room. They have obviously gotten into quite an argument.

Scarlette whispers into my ear, "they are brother and sister".

************************

A/N - Sorry this chapter wasn't very eventful, but the training should be interesting right? And why do you think the District 4 tributes were fighting? Was it just a sibling fight or something more?

Remember to give the chapter a vote if it's good enough!
