She had heard the noise of other tributes leaving their rooms early, doors shutting, elevators opening and closing. For the most part she ignored these sounds, content to lay under the covers of her beautiful double bed. The linin was soft and light, holding in warmth but not smothering her body. She may not have ever known suffering or hunger, but boy she had never known luxury like this. She knew the doors to the training room opened at eight, even if it didn’t officially start until ten. She weighed up the option of getting up early to train, or spending a couple of extra hours resting. It wasn’t a decision she needed to think much about, closing her eyes and enjoying the comfort brought on by a soft pillow.<br/><br/>It felt like she had only just drifted back off to sleep when a fist hammered on the outside of her door. “Get up and then down to the training hall, you’ve got ten minutes!” the voice called through to her room. Carmen let out a small sigh, looks like it’s show time already. She rose quickly, right into the shower and out again in under five minutes, letting the water simple pour over her body briefly, before she returned to her room and dressed. Their training gear was pretty standard, but it was practical and that’s all that Carmen cared about.<br/><br/>As she stepped out of her room she saw she was far from the only one waiting until ten to go down to the hall. There were many other young tributes waiting by the elevator doors, ready to go down. Most of them looked terrified, they had either been waiting in their rooms for fear of meeting the other tributes, or eating breakfast in the common room. A growl from Carmen’s stomach reminded her she had yet to eat. She dashed to the common room and grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl. She quickly peeled it and ate it down as she waited in line for space in the lift. She finished her breakfast quickly, telling herself it wouldn’t be long before lunch was served in the hall. She tossed the skin into the nearby trash can as she stepped into the lift, ready to be taken down to the training hall.<br/>
