Katniss POV

Today is my second day in Panem high. Everything should be as usual but something is wrong. Everbody is scared and almost half of the students were gone. When lunch came, I asked Thresh and Rue what was going on.

"Oh nothing special" Thresh explained. "Today is the day that trainers of the careers will teach the students of Panem high. They all will substitue for our Professors." He took a bite of mashed potato and munched it. "Also known as Switcheroo day"

So the trainers of the careers huh? That means the woman from tomorrow, Raven McGarden, was going to teach us. I can only hope nothing from this would trigger the careers' attitude. They're already snobby enough.

My next subjects were then taught by the trainers. I had Agility session with Peeta's trainer, Aaron. I thought Peeta wouldn't have a trainer but he does. He came from district 12 yet he got enough money to hire a trainer. Great...

Aaron was nice coming from the capitol, it was strange. He gave me extra attention though he wasn't the only one.

When I went to my Talent class, Glimmer's trainer, Creta, wasn't nice at me at all though she wasn't mean to me either. She says my voice needs to be an octave higher than the rest and my belly needs to be flat. By the time my class ended I was parched.

I went to my last subject: Skills. Almost no one was there. The students were I guess ten or eight. 1/4 of the usual number of students. I grabbed this chance and seated myself at the middle 2nd row. Cato bursts in with, as usual, a smirk on his face.

He took a seat as far away as possible from me. After 5 minutes the trainer went inside.

My jaw dropped. It was Raven! She is my teacher for today! Substituting for Beetee! Raven McGarden had a stern face on. She was not even surprised that I was there.

"Good afternoon Class, I am Raven McGarden and I am your teacher for today." She took a quick scan in the room. When she saw Cato, She smiled an evil grin.

"I know that today you're supposed to learn about tactics and skills for the games but today i will have a game.

"Group yourselves into two! Now!" She barked.

I stood up and went to the left side of the room. Surprisingly, the two group's numbers were equal.

"Assign yourselves a number from 1 to 12. Come on! Double time!"

The left group scrambled in order to get their numbers. I went to the end of the line in order to get 12. At the other group, Cato was standing in position 2. In our line, The number two kept changing. I sighed and went to position two.

"Okay since you all have your numbers, I will now explain the rules. I will call out the number of the group and they must go to the center of the room and fight. As you can see there is a big circle in the middle. One must overthrow the opponent outside the ring. It's kinda like sumowrestling. I'll give and example. A 1 and B3!"

The girl in front of me yelped and went to the ring. The same is said for the other group.

"Very good" Raven nodded. "Remember, If you can overthrow your opponent outside the ring, You will gain 1 point in your OSS. but you will gain 3 points if you get to overthrow Cato. Understood?!"

We shouted yes and we had begun. She first called out A6 and B3. Then A9 and B4. Everyone gave out their best. 10 minutes before dismissal and Cato and I are the only ones that has not been called for. At last Raven called out A2 and B2.

Cato and I face in the middle of the room. After Raven's whistle, Cato lunged at me. I kept dodging his attacks. When he quit lunging, he faced me wildly. We circled around he ring. I recalled a karate technique (A/N: Or is it Judo? i don't know...) where you pull your opponent over to your shoulder. While I was busy with my thoughts I almost didn't notice Cato lunge at me.

I got ready and when he reached out his arm (Which I was really glad he did) I took it and threw him to the floor. Using his own weight against him. When he was on the floor I thought I was free and I stod up steadily, which was a bad idea. Cato smirked and suddenly made me lie on my back.

He stood up and approached. I was still recovering from the pain when Cato approached me. I heard Raven say "1 minute left!" Cato smirked and grabbed my heels. I racked my brains for solutions but the only one that came to me was to kick him. So I did.

I kicked him in the chest hard. So hard that Cato and I ended up outside the ring. When Raven whistled and announced that we were dismissed, I still didn't get up. Cato didn't too.

Suddenly Raven's face were floating above. I sat up.

"Ms. Everdeen, Mr. Davison. Seat down please." She said it in such a voice that none of us dared to object.

Cato and I went in front and sat down on the chairs. Raven sat on the teacher's desk then stared at both of us. She took a piece of paper, wrote something on it then smiled.

"Since both of you neither won nor lost, I'm afraid you two need to have a rematch."

"But isn't it against school policies to stay here after school without any solid reason?" I asked.

She smiled warmly at me. "You see, actually I have two choices: Either give both of you points or none of you get it. You need to do an activity related to self-defense, fighting, skills anything!"

I thought about that. An activity with skills? What can be done?

"Hey teach." Cato raised his hand which broke me from my thoughts. "How 'bout you let us explore the forest? First one to clear it gets the points."

"Tsk Tsk Tsk" Raven shook her head. "Cato, you know why the forest is forbidden. If they caught us doing that dangerous activity, I'll be fired! Besides it's more like an endurance test than a skill session test. Not to mention that you have the upper hand."

She was right. If Cato lived in here all his life then he must have explored the forest and perhaps memorized it. It would be an extreme disadvantage for me.

"Raven?" I raised my hand hesitantly. "I think that Cato's idea is a bit suitable. But except for having the real forest, why not use the gym? The one used for endurance class. We can do the rematch out there."

She thought about it for a second then smiled. "A great idea Katniss. If it is alright with both of you, I would like to have the rematch later. I'l call you both when we will start."

Cato nodded and started to leave. Raven stood up too. "Wait!" I cried. "Raven, how will you call me?"

Cato shook his head then left. Raven gathered some things that I didn't notice she was carrying.

"Do you doubt me, Ms. Everdeen?" She smirked at me playfully.

"Uhhhh..." I looked around "Well no one normal can get to my huse without my help. I would rather go to the place than be fetched." I managed to say. What is it in Raven that got me nervous and comfortable at the same time? Panem made me really weird huh?

"Well wouldn't that be a bother to you Katniss?" She asked. I shook my head.

"Not at all mam...welll I'll be going home Raven" I grabbed my pack and went outside.

"Sure Katniss. Maybe a little time after 5? That will do. Remember: When you got to the gym, Find me first!"

I nodded and went home. A little nervous of the idea of going back and having a rematch.
