I　bee　fed　up　and　surly。

When　we　finally　escape　to　bed　on　the　second　night；　Peeta　mumbles；　¨Someone　ought　to　get　Haymitch　a　drink。〃

I　make　a　sound　that　is　somewhere　between　a　snort　and　a　laugh。　Then　catch　myself。　Itˇs　messing　with　my　mind　too　much；　trying　to　keep　straight　when　weˇre　supposedly　friends　and　when　weˇre　not。　At　least　when　we　get　into　the　arena；　Iˇll　know　where　we　stand。　¨Donˇt。　Donˇt　letˇs　pretend　when　thereˇs　no　one　around。〃

¨All　right；　Katniss；〃　he　says　tiredly。　After　that；　we　only　talk　in　front　of　people。

On　the　third　day　of　training；　they　start　to　call　us　out　of　lunch　for　our　private　sessions　with　the　Gamemakers。　District　by　district；　first　the　boy；　then　the　girl　tribute。　As　usual；　District　12　is　slated　to　go　last。　We　linger　in　the　dining　room；　unsure　where　else　to　go。　No　one　es　back　once　they　have　left。　As　the　room　empties；　the　pressure　to　appear　friendly　lightens。　By　the　time　they　call　Rue；　we　are　left　alone。　We　sit　in　silence　until　they　summon　Peeta。　He　rises。

¨Remember　what　Haymitch　said　about　being　sure　to　throw　the　weights。〃　The　words　e　out　of　my　mouth　without　permission。

¨Thanks。　I　will；〃　he　says。　¨You　。　。　。　shoot　straight。〃

I　nod。　I　donˇt　know　why　I　said　anything　at　all。　Although　if　Iˇm　going　to　lose；　Iˇd　rather　Peeta　win　than　the　others。　Better　for　our　district；　for　my　mother　and　Prim。

After　about　fifteen　minutes；　they　call　my　name。　I　smooth　my　hair；　set　my　shoulders　back；　and　walk　into　the　gymnasium。　Instantly；　I　know　Iˇm　in　trouble。　Theyˇve　been　here　too　long；　the　Gamemakers。　Sat　through　twenty…three　other　demonstrations。　Had　too　much　to　wine；　most　of　them。　Want　more　than　anything　to　go　home。

Thereˇs　nothing　I　can　do　but　continue　with　the　plan。　I　walk　to　the　archery　station。　Oh；　th
