Kailey's a killer.
I stare at the screen, shocked. Kailey is in tears. She's abandoned the knife. Tyler has it.
Ten minutes ago, Kailey snuck up on the girl from 11 and stabbed her.
Golberg rests a hand over my shoulder. "She did what she had to do, Kembrith."
"I know." I mumble. "I would have done the same thing. I mean, it's the Hunger Games, what else was she to do? Her ally died." I add. "I just didn't see it coming. It happened so fast."
"Please calm down Kailey." Abby sighs.
Once Kailey has calmed down, Tyler asks, "So what were you saying about that place you and Timotheos found?"
"Oh yeah. We'll travel by night."
Then they turn off the TV.
We all groan.
"Sorry, everyone! But it's time to get back to class!"
I have two classes left today. And I can't concentrate.
"Test today!" Mr. Pell says happily when we all walk in.
Oh, great.
I get through five open-ended questions before I read:
How did the Hunger Games begin?
While trying to come up with an answer, my thoughts scatter.
She killed her.
Shut up.
That one takes forever. Five out of twenty questions were incomplete.
...
I stumble out of my last class.
"Kembrith." Mirlu follows me out. "Kailey's not a bad person."
"I know, I just can't stop...thinking about it,"
"Remember, in order to win, she has to kill at least one tribute."
"I don't care." I trip over my shoelace and sprawl across the ground.
"Kembrith!"
I scramble to my feet. "I'm fine."
"Okay."
I walk home slowly. What happened in the arena temporarily disappears from my mind.
...
Sorry for the short chapter. Please review.
