Since the annual 74th Hunger Games were about to start soon, the Capitol opened up the training center & scheduled a mandatory training session for the tributes to attend. Once everyone gathered around, the head training instructor began to go over rules that everyone had to follow; such as no fighting the other tributes, destroying equipment, etc. After what seemed like forever, the head training instructor finally finished her speech, granting everyone the freedom to begin their training.

Somehow in the midst of everything, you and your district partner Cato ended up hanging out with Glimmer & Marvel, the careers from District 1. You all spent the time observing other tributes, making fun of them whenever they got hurt or messed up. “Look over there.” Cato pointed, laughing when the boy from District 12 lost his balance and fell flat on his face. “Typical District 12 scum. There’s no way he’s surviving the bloodbath.” He spat.

While Glimmer & Marvel laughed along with Cato, you continued to watch Peeta (the boy’s name) with a careful eye. That’s when Peeta slowly picked up a medicine ball, and threw it into the nearest weapon rack closest to you, causing all the weapons hung onto said rack to clutter all over the floor. Subconsciously, you gave a hum of satisfaction, being impressed by both his skill & confidence.

Since he noticed your interest in him, Cato shielded your view, trying to size Peeta up.
