I groan. Loudly. The view in the mirror is far from perfect anymore. My reflection is something of the past that I used to admire about myself. Beauty is only skin deep, baby.... I hear my mother say in my head from when I was younger. Though, right now? I'd rather have my flawless complexion back without the horrible red scar the mars my skin. Instead of fighting it any longer, I throw the makeup sponge into the basin, as I push my weight against the edge of the sink. I stare at myself in the mirror. The distance between my face and the mirror is just inches from it. With an exaggerated look, I make a face at myself as my eyes never leave the place where Marks spear had dug into my flesh.
"I'm sick of this!" I exclaim and push myself away from the mirror and the sink and walk around the corner to the lockers. Frustrated, I open my locker and to put the foundation back into my zippered pouch of my bag and reach in for the change of clothes I brought with me. "it's hopeless. No matter what I do, I can't get that mark to disappear. I've tried everything. Nothing works." I throw my voice a little loud enough for Gala to hear. I begin to pull the sweater off my body, and I do the same with the short sleeved shirt underneath leaving me only in my sports bra. There's a short moment that I let my fingers run across the mark against my skin on my abdomen and sigh heavily. Without another moment of hesitation, I pull on the light blue, tight training top. I do the same for my jeans a second later, changing them out with a pair of simple, black shorts. It's not exactly ideal with the cold weather outside, but inside, it's kept nice and toasty. I plan on doing alot today. To push myself past my breaking point in order to keep my game up. It's been just a little over a month since the pregames ended.
The marks on my body are healing nice. The bruises are gone but the marks from the spears tip still is evident on my skin. Those will never go away no matter how hard I try to cover them up. I will just have to get used to them. With that in mind, I yell out for my fellow trainee.
"Gala... what's taking you so long?" I yell out as I stuff my regular clothes into the locker shutting the door. The noise from the metal echos throughout the empty locker room. I take one last attempt to look in the mirror and finally see that the makeup has covered up about half of the redness that the scar left. With a sigh, I shake my head and pull all of my hair to one side, securing it with a loose ponytail.
