Sorry this chapter is a bit late and short but I wanted it to end in a sort-of-cliffhanger! ENJOY!
Me, Posy, Vick and Rory walk down the hall with a group of kids heading for the school also. We stay behind everyone else on compete silence. Posy stares down at the shuffling feet in front of us and a couple of minutes later Vick and Rory head down another hall with a group of our elders. Elders is what District 13 calls people that are older than you are. Me and Posy stay in complete silence as we walk down the hall and make turns every few minutes. Walking next to Posy is oddly strange. I've being meaning to talk to her lately but she's barely no where to be found. I worry about her every day and I want to help. She's being through a lot and guess its normal to be like that but I am her best friend and its my duty to help.
"Can I talk to you?" I whisper to Posy. She nods without making eye contact.
"I've being worried about you. After everything you being through, I get your going through a phase but I want to help." I say.
"Nothing's wrong." Posy says.
"Yes there is." I say. "Posy, I'm your friend, you can trust me."
"I'm fine." Posy says. I grab her arm and pull her away from the group. Everyone keeps walking without us and don't even notice.
"Prim, we have to get to the school." Posy says while trying to free herself from my grip.
"What's wrong? Why are you acting so weird?" I ask.
"We can talk later," Posy says. "we have millions of hours to come."
"You don't know that. Something can happen to one of us." I say. "Why can't you just tell me? I want to help." Posy stays silent.
"It's just- I'm trying to forget, but it's hard with you bringing it up every time." Posy says in half a whisper.
"I'm sorry," I say. "I should've known."
"It's fine, you were just worried." Posy says.
"But there is one more thing I need to ask you." I say.
"Yes?"
"The key. When are you flying there?"
"You know I can't go. It's a lot of risk." Posy says.
"But what about the key? You made contact with Philana and promised to bring it to her." I say.
"She's just going to have to wait a bit longer." Posy says.
"How long are you going to keep it a secret?" I ask. "Only you, your family, me, Katniss and some of Coin's men know. Once they find out what it is for, you'll know they'll try and get it away from you."
"It was already a lot of risk letting some of Coin's men know. Where just going to keep our mouths shut for as long as possible, okay?" I nod.
"Good. We need to get to the school before they realize where not there." Posy says. I nod and follow behind. We make it in time and even though there bunch of things to keep me distracted, my mind is only thinking of the key.
