The Capitol Games

Scores

"Dawn Moonstone." I stood up as my name was called and walked into the training center.
A table of judges sat staring at me.

I grabbed some knives and got ready to throw.
Bang! I threw one at a light causing a shower of sparks.

Bang! I threw two at once hitting two dummies in their hearts.

Bang! Bang! Two more lights, sparks showered down from the ceiling surrounding me.
I was on a roll. I threw knives at dummies, sometimes two at once, never missing a target.

I could tell the judges were impresses. "Thank you Dawn." they said and dismissed me from the room.
"I did great! Good luck Tristan!" I whispered as I walked by.

I waited in my room for Tristan's return.
Tristan, he was a good guy. Pretending I loved him was way easier than I expected.
Why? GAH! That's beside the point.

My train of thought was interrupted when Tristan entered.
"I did awesome!" He said happily.

We sat down and turned on the TV to see our scores.
Dawn Moonstone: 10

I squealed and hugged Gemma and then Tristan.

We sat down right before Tristan's score was announced
Tristan Rathbone: 10

"Yes!" Tristan yelled out of excitement.
He hugged Gemma and kissed me on the cheek.

I looked him in the eyes. He stared back at me .
As if by some unspoken agreement we sat down holding hands.

Maybe "pretending" we're in love is the better plan...
