Ellie's POV

You can't blame him. I mean, it wasn't really his fault... Well, he is pretty hot... Woah, that came out wrong! I mean his hand was really hot, as in the flames! I definitely do not like this guy! Nope. Not at all... Okay, I'll admit it. He's cute. But that's it, nothing else.

Anyway, we left the infirmary only a few minutes after entering. The burn was so severe, though, that I have to eat an ambrosia square every hour at least. I don't mind that much anyway. It's nice to know Leo does care about me, though. Most boys wouldn't give a damn if they hurt a girl. But Leo... he's... different.

Ugh, I need to stop thinking about him.

I couldn't sleep at all that night, mostly because of the anticipation of the quest but also of course from the burn. It sent sharp twangs of pain up my arm every way I put it. It was all I could do to not shovel the entire ambrosia bag down my throat. Eventually, I just gave up and put my music on. This time, it was an old song, about 40 years old. It's called Little Me by this really popular girl group who's still touring the globe called Little Mix. I listen to the familiar lyrics, and as always they send cold shivers down my spine.

[Jade:]

She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl

Voice so quiet you don't hear a word,

Always talking but she can't be heard,

[Leigh- Anne:]

You can see there if you catch her eye,

I know she's brave but it's trapped inside,

Scared to talk but she don't know why,

Wish I knew back then

What I know now.

Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,

Everything she doesn't see,

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,

And know that right here, right now,

You can be beautiful, wonderful,

Anything you wanna be,

[Jesy:]

Little me

Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age,

You can't write a book from a single page,

Hands on the clock only turn one way,

(Yeah)

[Perrie:]

Run too fast and you'll risk it all,

Can't be afraid to take a fall,

Felt so big but she looks so small,

Wish I knew back then

What I know now.

Wish I could somehow

Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,

Everything she doesn't see.

(Know that right here, right now)

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,

And know that right here, right now,

You can be beautiful, wonderful,

Anything you wanna be, oh,

Little me

Little me, yeah

[Leigh-Anne:]

Tell you one thing I would say to her

[All:]

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,

Everything she doesn't see.

(You got to) you gotta speak up, (You got to) you gotta shout out,

And know that right here, right now,

You can be beautiful, wonderful,

Anything you wanna be,

Little me

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,

Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,

And know that right here, right now,

You can be beautiful, wonderful,

Anything you wanna be,

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,

Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,

Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,

Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,

And know that right here, right now,

You can be beautiful, wonderful,

Anything you wanna be,

Little me

I just love that song...

Leo's POV

I toss and turn, thinking but not processing. The day's events flashed before my eyes in a blurry haze. I blink, and it's morning. I yawn, hearing the buzz of chit chat that plagues every cabin before breakfast. I sweep my hair through my curly hair and pull yesterday's shirt over my head. I bounce over to the dining area for breakfast, before we leave on the quest.

I wolf down the bowl of cereal, teasingly leaving only a small scrap of it for my father. It's not a smart thing to do before a quest of this importance, but you know what they say... YOLO!


Hi again.

I NEED IDEAS! I DONT KNOW WHERE TO SEND THEM ON THE QUEST! PLEASE HELP IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AMERICA!

and soz it's short.
