Ch.10 Ryan
Yesterday was so weird. I got up and ten hot told that President Nick wanted to see me. He told me that he was going to let me get special training from one of his top instructor. I don't even know why he wanted me I do that, but I turned him down saying that it wasn't fair. Because I turned him down he forced me to be confined to my room for the rest of the day. Great I missed one day of training that could help me to get ready for the games. I get up and go to eat. "Hey Ryan!" says Mary. She gets up from the table and hugs me. Ok so you didn't want to talk to me for 5 days, but now you want to talk to me I think in my head. She is still clinging on to me, but I try to push her off. When she broke away, she seemed kinda angry that I pushed her away like that. "So Ryan what will you be working on today?" she is smiling and staring at me. I say "Well I was-" I know how about you work with me?" "Ummm I -" "Yay then it's settled you'll work with Me." she gets up gives me a kiss on the cheek and runs away to her room. In the corner of my eye I see Seth laughing. "Is something funny?" I ask. He turns to me," Ya of course, can't you see that she likes you and you're just brushing her off. You see a girl like Mary very often, I mean look at her." it's true I never really paid attention to Mary before, maybe I will. Mary comes back and I get up and kiss her on the cheek. She seems kinda stunned, but then runs over to me and gives me a big hug. We go off to the elevator for our second day of training. On the way down Mary doesn't stop talking to me. It's kinda awkward. She stops talking for a moment. I look over to her and she tries to kiss me right on my lips, but I push her away. "Ok what's the deal with you?" I ask with a bit of force. "wha-what do you mean?" Mary says. "you know what I mean. You haven't talked to me sense we got on the train and you have been randomly kissing me. Now just today, you have started to talk to me. So what's up?" she looks down and says nothing. "Fine I'll just practice on my own." I look up the the dial where it says what floor we are on. It says floor G which is the garage. Below that is T which is the training room. All of a sudden I hear sniffing. I look over and I see Mary crying. I look back and sorta feel bad. We get to floor T and leave the elevator. I immediately split up from Mary. I go to the sword play area. Then a tap comes on my shoulder. "Hey it's Raynor." "Oh hi." I say. "So I was thinking that maybe later tonight you, me, Audrie, and Mary can go to the bar with us."Sure, but I don't know If Mary will come." "Why not?" "Well I was kind of mean to her because she was acting weird." "Aw that stinks man, here how about this. You bring Mary to the bar with you and take her dancing, that should make her come back to you." "ok I'll do It." we shake hands. After a while of practicing we leave the training area. Mary and I go back into the elevator. "So how was practice?" I ask. No answer back. Mary doesn't even move. "Come on Mary, I have something special planned for tonight." Still no answer. I stop talking. We get to our floor and go to our rooms. I get into my room and put on a nice outfit. Get some flowers from the kitchen and go to Mary's room door. I knock. Rustling comes from inside the room and a couple seconds later Mary opens her door. Her eyes are all red from crying. "Hey Mary.. I'm would you like to go dancing with me?" I say holding out the flowers. "No!" she says slamming the door on my face. I try again. I knock saying," Mary please just this once. I'm- I'm sorry for being mean to you." Her room door creaks open and she says, "fine I will." she closes the door and I jump up in happiness. I go and wait in the kitchen. Then 15 minutes later Mary comes back wearing a sparkling golden dress. Her brown hair has be combed down. She looks beautiful. We stare at each other for a second then I take her hand and walk her to the elevator. We don't speak much in the elevator. We reach floor B which is the Bar and dance floor. We go in and everyone stops talking and stares at Mary. Then a boy comes up and asks her if she wants to dance. She answers, "No thank you," looks up to me," I already have a date." we find Audrie and Raynor dancing already. We wave to them and they wave back. We start to dance slowly. She puts her arms on my shoulders and mine on her waist. We start to dance. Later while dancing she puts her head on my shoulders whispering "I love you." I ask her what did she say but she says nothing. I kiss her on the lips, a long kiss. Later that night we go back into the elevator and kiss some more. Then we get back into the room and give one last kiss goodnight. I go to bed feeling as happy as ever. I go to sleep. I wake up in the morning and go to the kitchen. I meet up with Mary while walking to the kitchen. I give her another kiss. We sit down to eat. We figure that will work together again today. Also we plan on working with Audrie and Raynor. We finish eating and get into the elevator. We keep on talking to each other. We get down to the training area and practice. Throughout we practice, talk to Audrie and Raynor, and kiss. We get to the elevator after practice and talk about how practice was. We get back to the room. We sit and the couch and watch Capitol TV. Most of the time watching was spent on top of each other kissing. We fall asleep next to each other on the couch.
