IF I LIVED THE HUNGER GAMES
CHAPTER 5: "THE SCORES", PART 2
The scores go in order of who went. Dugan: 5. Havana: 6. Just so you know, the scores are marked 1 through 12, 12 being the highest. Their scores are not surprising for their age, but the scale was supposed to change since our ages were all the same, and we were 14. But that still was probably as good as I’d get, with such little build. I only have muscle in my legs, and it still wasn’t much. But back to the scores. Aero: 10(Wow that’s good.) Melina: 6. Nelb: 7. Ara: 6. Iris: 5. Pan: 7. Plex: 7. Katia...8. I have never been more surprised than I am right now. Sanders had to have something to do with that. Tyton: 11. Aster: 6. Mido 6. Vida: 6. Masse: 9. Gera: 6. Hedda: 7. Beena: 6. Albin: 6. Ginia: 7. Beo: 7. Berroe: 7. Grae: 4. That had to be wrong. Sean was good at every sport at school. Milah: 8. Good for her! And that was it. Interviews were tomorrow evening. And I need to be sly and clever.  

 

IF I LIVED THE HUNGER GAMES
Chapter 5:
“the scores”
Katia:
My classmates on the lower floors went before Plex and me to show the gamemakers what they got. Right now Plex was going. I didn’t see him much during training, so who knows what he’s capable of. All I know is he can’t climb to save his life. This could be his downfall in the games. I can’t really picture him killing anyone, but it’s not like someone would go after him to kill him. He’s popular enough. But enough about that.
  Plex returned after a few minutes or so. Now it was my turn. I walked through the chamber and stared out from the side hidden from the gamemakers. I saw Aitor and Sanders, dressed in black shirts and red vests. They didn’t look happy, and were eating nothing, unlike their tipsy elders.
                My plan was to go in undetected. I snuck along the walls, running from shadow to shadow. There was a bow on the other side of the court. I remained unseen and retrieved the bow. I grabbed a single arrow and came back around. I decided to go up the rock wall used to show climbing abilities if that’s all you can do. The gamemakers continued searching for me. One gamemaker even called my name, mispronouncing it.  Finally I sprung up, and hit the dummy used as a bow or knife target right in the stomach. I was aiming for the head but they don’t have to know that. Then I bowed, and walked out. It took about 10 minutes. Aitor and Sanders looked very surprised. I never showed anyone any athletic ability because I never enjoyed using it. I found it….barbaric. But for a barbaric game, you got to show a little barbarity.
The rest of the day was just Plex and I talking about unrelated things about back home. How his older brother dropped out of school to hunt for the family. About how he gets all the extra money he can at the bakery. How my father comes home every day with blisters and cuts and bruises his body can’t endure sometimes. Life was rough in district 13. Many workers die preparing nuclear weapons for the Capitol. And now, after the second rebellion, we lost having tight schedules on our arm but were under constant surveillance everywhere. Anyone that goes against the strict laws, whether they’re 14 like us tributes or 5 or 50, are instantly sentenced to death. 
 
We talked all day about that, and a little about everyone else. We steered clear of discussing the games as best we could. Normally at this time we would discuss strategies with a past district 13 winners but 1. There weren’t enough for everyone. And 2. There aren’t any to begin with. The winner of this one will be the first.
                Our conversation was interrupted by an Avox boy showing us that the training scores were being shown now. We turned to the T.V, desperately awaiting our scores. I was afraid that mine was low. That wouldn’t open up my chances for many sponsors. For those of you who don’t know, sponsors bet on you surviving and send you little gifts to help you along. I want to get as many as possible so at least I could have some happiness before I die. 
               

IF I LIVED THE HUNGER GAMES
CHAPTER 4: "the training room", part two
KATIA:
Oh no, that is the worst thing to hear. I got a mini heart attack just from those words.  Aero pulled me away to where no one could see us, behind a list of stations for you to look at. He grabbed my hands and looked straight into my eyes.

“We can’t be together in the games.” Was all he said.
“You’re…breaking up with me? Now?” I panicked.
“What? No! no, what I meant was we can’t be physically next to one another.”
“oh, why not?”
“Because, if it come down to just the two of us…well…We can’t both win.”
“We could, we would just do as Peeta and Katniss did.”
“Word is the rules are different this year. If anyone pulls a Katniss, the capitol will do something terrible.”
“Oh…Then you’re right. No alliance then.”
Many groups end up bunking together and forming alliances until the end of the game to boost their chances of winning. But I don’t want to win. I don’t even want to make it to the last day. I don’t want to be the first to die; I at least plan to make it to day two. It was probably for the best that Aero and I weren’t together. After all, he could probably take me out in one punch.
“But I’ll be watching you from a far, and I’ll keep you out of trouble best I can.” Aero's warm smile returned.
“Okay…Wait what’s that supposed to mean?” I laughed.
“Ha-ha, nothing…” Aero giggled and walked away.
Training was over now, and tomorrow we would get our training scores. And boy did I have a plan…

Chapter 4:
“the training room”, part one
KATIA:
The Avox boy woke me up. I put on a light blue t-shirt, and a pair of brown Capri pants. My hair was, as always, pulled back in a ponytail. I don’t like it when its down, it gets in the way to often. Only when I sleep can I stand it being down.
Plex’s already standing out in the hall. I wave to him half-heartedly. No words were spoken between our corridor and the training room; half because the Avox boy’s   tongue had been cut out, and half because I had nothing to say to Plex. At least not right now.
Once we got to the training room, Plex instantly went over by Hedda and Beo. That was normal; I didn’t expect him to stay by me. He has his friends, and I have mine. Plus, again, there wasn’t much for us to talk about now. I went over to knot tying. I guess that could be useful. But when I saw that Mido was there, I knew I probably wasn’t going to pay much attention. Mido was very funny, and normally had some pretty mean but hilarious observations of people, and the person teaching the class was a plump, green woman with orange hair. He said that she was one sexy piece of …I’m not even going to finish. Mido obviously was being sarcastic, and though it was cruel it still made me laugh. I think out of the seven knots she taught us, I remembered how to make one, and that was only because it was called the “69th” knot, which Mido also made a crack at, for reasons we all know.
After that, I went over and watched a quick seminar on fire starting with Masse, which this time I actually paid some attention. I figured even though it may seem easy to do on your own, you should still make sure you are doing it right. Next I went climbing techniques, which I spotted Berroe at. She was so shaken by this whole experience. But never the less, she was an excellent climber. Plex was at this class to, but he couldn’t get up the trunk of the fake tree like the rest of us could. Poor Plex, climbing is a useful skill.  
Finally, I went over to archery. This would be my weapon of choice, just because I like the way it looks and feels. I grabbed the bow and shot my first arrow 20 feet from the target. I shoot almost a bulls-eye, now 40 feet, then 60. I was pretty good and archery! I hope I find a bow in the games, it would be very useful.
I felt a prickle on my sides. I turned around, and there was Aero, with a bow under his arm. “Your pretty good.” He smiled. I was, wasn’t I? “Thanks…what’s up?” I answered. “I have to talk with you for a moment…Its important.” Aero frowned.

IF I LIVED THE HUNGER GAME
CHAPTER 2: "the arrival", part 2
KATIA:
We got in the elevator. It was taking Plex and I to the fifth floor. I stood with Milah and Aero. On the second floor, Aero had to get out. He gave me one last hug before the elevator guard pushed him through the door. I nearly opened my mouth, but Masse grabbed my shoulder and shook his head. Masse was lean and long. His hair was shaggy and chestnut brown, along with his eyes. He removed his hand from my shoulder and stared blankly to the elevator buttons, counting what floor was next.

On the way up, I thought about Aitor and Sanders. I hadn’t seen them since we got off the train. I wonder where they went. Probably to some Gamemaker orientation. Weren’t they the ‘lucky ones’?  How could the capitol do this? Why? There must be some good in them telling them that this is wrong.

 

Finally, we came to floor five. I hugged Milah tightly, but the stupid guard told me to “get off scum.” I flashed him a dirty look and got off. Fighting would be futile. I got out. Plex stayed closely behind me, but it was very quiet. Now it was time to get ready for the parade coming later today.

                The parade was a bore, but our costumes were interesting. I got to meet my prep team, but I didn’t catch their names. They just bathed me down and did what they had to do. We all rode in like a rainbow. Plex and I were dressed in all orange, I in an orange dress, hair  and eyes (temporarily) orange to. The outfits I was most interested with were to come for interviews.
                While in the parade, Plex and I were on our little float waving and smiling to the crowd. But on the inside, we were screaming. We dreaded it all. It’s all fake; the smiles, the emotions, the waves, the interviews…everything. But it’s for our own welfare to just let it go by. During the rebellion, I and most of my friends just defied the Capitol in little ways, to distract them from the big things Milah was more into. But now I knew the consequences: Our own special Hunger Games. That probably was the plan all along. There never was a random classroom pick- it was going to be us all along. Blasted President Snow!
                So Plex and I put on a brave face and waved happily to the world we hated.  Tomorrow Plex and I are meeting our stylists, Dahlia Zalzer and Galbert Sife. Great.

Chapter 2:
“the arrival”
KATIA:
It was a very short train ride to the Capitol. Perhaps that was because it was taking us all to our eventual doom. There were 26 of us. And we were in the Hunger Games. I almost died. My heart was breaking. We all can’t win. Innocent blood will be spilled. I spent my time on the train with Aero. He held me close to him and kissed me a lot. We all knew what would happen. At least one of us will die. This makes me hope it’s me. Aero has a family to take care of. My family is doing okay; my ‘paycheck’ was just extra. They can do without me.             
 We were sent to the ground floor of the tribute building. I was informed by Iris that we will be getting our partners for costume design today along with our stylists. I hope I don’t end up naked like most of the tributes from mining districts (district 13 mines graphite) covered in dark dust.
Early, around 10 a.m, a fat man named Kelso Halberry with orange-ish pale skin and dusty pink hair came to tell us our partners. Since I’m Marbach,  I’ll be called somewhere in the middle.
“The order is called at random. Dugan A will be with Havana M. Aero A will be with Melina T. Nelb B will be with Ara J. Iris B with Pan R. Albin C will be with Ginia S. Grae G with Milah V. Tyton G with Aster N. Gera H with Masse T. Ara J will be with Nelby B. Berroe L and Beo W. Katia M will be with Plex R.” Kelso spoke in a capitol accent. Gosh, is it annoying. Anyway I’m okay with being Plex’s partner. My only beef with him is how he treats Milah. Otherwise, He’s pretty cool.  But I’m happy with anyone at this moment. I love them all. “Havana M withDugan A. Aster N with Tyton G. Beena R with Hedda S. Pan R with Iris B. Plex R and Katia M. Vida R and Mido S. Hedda S and Beena R. Mido S and VidaR. Ginia S with Albin C. Masse T will be with Gera H. Melina T with Aero A. Milah V with Grae G. And Beo W will be partners with Berroe L.” Kelso finished on a high note. It was almost as if he was singing.  I hate the capitol, and their stupid accent. Now we had to get prepared for the parade coming up later today. 

Sorry i know this parts long and boring but it helpd alot with the later part of the stroy! THANK YOU!
