Nothing much happened after Opening Ceremony. Normal school, normal afternoons spend with doing small favors in Power Station. I kept thinking that Rina is safe in Capitol, training for the game. Once I asked to her, "If you get reaped and about to train in Training Center, will you put Survival or Weaponry in your priority?"
She was speechless at that moment. I have no idea on what is happening to her now.

While Rina and Seth is having fun in Capitol, the rest of District Five is being normal to death. For three days, everything I did is just wake up, take a quick bath, breakfast, school, do some jobs in power station, watch the news (mostly about Hunger Games predictions) while having dinner, bed.

Today, as scheduled by the Capitol itself... we'll know the tributes' Training Scores tonight. So, right after I finished my job, I'll bring a loaf of bread. Myra will bring some fruits she gathered from somewhere (I don't even want to find out where, she is like a fox). She's taking her group of friends, too. I'm not very fond of large groups, but I don't mind those people around in these occasions.
"Oh, look who we have here!" Myra shouted.
"Bro! Where have you been, not hanging with us since last year?" one friend asked.
"Busy," I replied. "I got upgraded at work, so yeah."
"Why didn't you tell us before? We can have fun, celebrating your victory!" one exclaimed.
Before I can explain that I must keep my family on priority, Myra shut this crowd up and pointed at the big screen before us.
"Hello, Panem! Gamemakers have decided the training scores for tributes, so don't go anywhere! Here we go. District One. Diamanto Addison, with the score of 9. Silver Alexander, score of 8."
Then, he continued to the next district. "District Two. Liora Leon, you earned a score of 9. Smith Knight, with score of... 10." Well, he won't pause.
"District Three. Akira,  score of 5. Frodo Modo, 7."
"District Four. Nila Mills, 10. Caspian Oceanus, score of 10."

Coming up next: District Five. My heart beated very hard, or the entire population held their breath. Please, give her a decent score. Please, I thought.

Commercial break.
As if on cue, the whole district groaned. Stupid advertisements. As if we have enough money to buy those promoted things.
When I managed to chomp half of my apple, the Hunger Games is back live on TV. "District Five. Florina Weldon, with the score of..." Claudius Templesmith took a dramatic gasp. "Six."
Six? At least it's not below five. You've done a good job there, Rina.
"Seth Sparkson, score of 8."
To yay or not to yay? More like a yay, he'll be a good target for Careers.

The rest got bad scores. Like that girl from Six, the one that cried at Reaping: She got two. Or Twelve, both got 1 ½. Few lucky other tributes earned decent scores like six or five. They haven't lose their hope yet, they must've motivated themselves.
"If Haymitch from Twelve survived, it's time to steal the next glory from Careers again."
If someday I got reaped, that gonna be my motivation.

Tomorrow is the Interview. And the next thing will come the day after tomorrow, the Arena.
CHAPTER FOUR.

Even though it's (supposed to be) holiday, but I got writer's block, not enough time because of Theater practices (I got a role as a mama... again. :iconfacepalmplz:) and council meetings (for those juniors' orientation, mind you).
