chapter seven: the grading
On the final day of training we had our private training sessions prim and Jacob were waiting in the training center apartments for district 12 district 1, 2,3 ,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and 11 all go now I am sitting at the table with peeta and katniss we talk about what we think we might do but I literally have no clue of what I’m going to do I am called first and they wish me luck as soon as I enter the room I start to hyperventilate “nixie Hallow, district 12.” I thought about saying that I was from 4 but I didn’t it would only start an outburst I look over at the camouflage base and it gives me an idea.
I rush to the knife throwing base gather up 4 knives and stick them in my belt I rush to the camouflage base and climb one of the trees, I climb to the top and grab the roof beam I run across the beam and bam first knife a bulls-eye on an archery target second a bulls-eye at the spear section and third bulls-eye on a knife throwing target everybody is staring at the knives and looking for me but they don’t seem to see me I sit on down on a new beam dangling my legs of the edge and I clear my throat “hump, hmm” all the game makers and avoxes alike stare up at me with shocked expressions. I jump down and plan on land perfectly but my ankle buckles I stand and try not to put too much weight on it. I throw the last knife straight upwards it begins to fall I kick and het the handle of the blade and the knife goes flying straight towards the GAME MAKERS shit it wasn’t meant to go that way it hits one of the support poles that were in-between me and game makers the hilt is pressed right against the pole no blade showing. Pultarch Heavansbee the head game makers is chocking on the punch he was drinking he obviously sore what I sore. After he stops coughing he gives me a look of hate “you may go now, Miss Hallow,” I gather up the knives and place them in their original spots I hear peeta’s name get called and I clear out.
The last thing I am suspecting when leave the room is leyrah sitting their tying knots in the strands of her belt. I expected for nobody to be sitting here I was planning on waiting for peeta and katniss but it is clear that she is waiting for me I mean we were practically twins. I would go anywhere do anything and she would be with me or trying to convince me that it was a bad idea and leaving district 4 almost killed us both she sees me and smiles “hey!” she says with that familiar laugh like tone “hey,” I say but it’s not my normal voice I think I just screwed up big time. The game makers probably thought I was trying to kill them. “That bad, huh?” she asks there is no point trying to hide anything from leyrah it is like trying to keep a secret from a mind reader “I almost killed Pultarch Heavansbee,” I explain she laughs like a mad woman “glad I’m not the only one I threw tridents and missed a lot when I asked for moving targets I got agro and he told me to calm down and I threatened to throw a trident at him,” she is definitely mad or most likely INSAIN. “How is that not hard to believe?” I laugh she has a worse temper then a sailor from district 4 or a drunken miner from district 12. “Finnick told me to bring you up to the district 4 apartments, and you can’t bail because Haymitch said you have to come, so,” she stuck out her tongue like a five year old “very mature,” I laugh as she drags me to the elevator.
