SO I DO HAVE SKILLS!
Back to the Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta have just walked through the parade and are now preparing for interviews. Katniss goes and is very cute and friendly, which isn't normal for her because she really doesn't like people. Then Peeta goes and starts out fine, until he declares his love for Katniss, ON LIVE TELEVISION!! This puts Katniss in a awkward place because she knows she will have to kill him. It's the night before the games and Katniss is super nervous. Each tribute must show the council their skills so that they can rate them. While they prepare in the gym like thing they must not give away all their secrets. Peeta hides the fact that hes pretty good with traps and knives. He only shows Katniss. Katniss hides the fact that she can shoot a bow and arrow like no other. They both split up and jsut kind of fuddle around with stuff. Soon it is time to show the judges. They each go in one at a time by district. In other words Katniss and Peeta are last. Peeta and Katniss are chatting when Haymitch comes up and basically tells them their worthless and they just need to fight. Katniss and Peeta both get angry and Peeta gets punched by Haypitch while Katniss tries to stab Haymitch's hand. She fails but instead sends the knife at the wall this impresses Haymitch and he thinks that maybe their is hope after all. Peeta is called in to perform for the judges his skills. He comes out soon after and just leaves for his bedroom. It is now Katniss's turn. She walks in, hoping to show the judges her arrow shooting abilities, but they are all talking and eating and NOT PAYING ATTENTION! Katniss starts shooting and they still are not watching so she decides to shoot and arrow at the table. It hits the roast pigs mouth. All the jusges are shocked into silence. Some are even falling off their chairs. Katniss knows that she was stupid so she dismisses herself and heads to her room. When it is time to gather for scores, Katniss expects the worst. She also is worried about her safety. No one ever mistreats the judges, and she was sure that they would give her a 0. She leans over to Cinna and asks if anyone has gotten a 0 and he replies with a stiff no. The scores range from 0 to 11. 11 being the highest. The list the numbers of all the earlier tributes. Some get 8's, some get 9's, one boy gets a 10, and a couple get 6's and 7's. Peeta comes out with an 8, which is quite impressive. This is why Katniss is completely shocked when she is awarded with an 11. Everyone is in awe. Maybe Katniss can win the games after all.
