The "Career Tributes," or "Careers," who have been training since they were born and are Primarily from Districts 1, 2, and 4, are the most daunting. In the Training Center, Katniss sizes up the other tributes and is intimidated by how large and strong most of them are. Katniss is growing tired of pretending to be friends with Peeta, but she does as she's told. ![]() Haymitch tells them, too, that they are to remain together at all times and should appear inseparable. ![]() They will have three days to train, and then on the final day they will be allowed to showcase their best skill to the Gamemakers in a private session. Haymitch interrupts and instructs them to steer clear of any training stations that would reveal their strongest skills. Katniss can't decipher what he means and chooses to take this comment as an insult. Peeta mentions the sponsors, how they'll be fighting to help her, and when she doubts this he tells her that she has no idea what kind of an effect she has on people.

It is their first day of training, and Katniss and Peeta meet with the rest of their team in the dining room. ![]()
