Hey everyone! So this chapter is extremely short, because I'm going away tomorrow for a little over a week and I'm not bringing my laptop, so I just wanted to update a little bit. I made it short because I don't really have time to make a full chapter because I still have to pack and stuff :/ Please review!

"You're not mad?" asks Sean. I let a small smile form before I respond.
"Why would I be mad?"
"Because I never told you about district 4 or Jess." he tells me, scratching the back of his neck. "And friends aren't supposed to keep things from each other."
"I wasn't going to bring this up, but you should be mad at me. Because I sort of attempted to kill your girlfriend, and then Colby kill her." I say softly, trying not to dwell on the subject too much. "Do you miss her?"
"Sometimes I think I do. She wasn't exactly the nicest person- but I'm not saying she deserved to die." he tells me.
"Really? I thought she was really friendly before she went all kill-crazy." I tell him. He let's out a small chuckle and puts his hands inside his pockets.
"No, that was just an act. She just acted that way to trick you since she knew you all were going into the games." he says not making eye contact with me. I pause for a moment.
"Wait…you knew about that?" I ask leaning towards him and speaking in a whisper.
"About what?" he asks obviously oblivious to the secret.
"The fact that the victors' children were put into the games." I say hoping Stella doesn't hear. She is lost in her shirley temple drink.
"Yeah. Jess told me in like 4th grade and made me swear not to tell anyone." he looks up at me. "Did you tell anyone?"
"Yeah." I say quietly. "You can probably guess who." I say inferring to Colby. "I didn't necessarily tell him. I just said something, and then he said something, and then he figured it out. I didn't mean to- wait a second." I ponder my thoughts for several moments. "What if Colby told someone in the Capitol? What if this is all a trap? What if they knew I would come get him, and they are just going to capture me? What if-" Sean cuts me off.
"Enough of this 'what if' crap. We will know once we go to the capitol. Obviously Colby is important to you, so we are going to find him, even if it means taking risks." Sean says at a normal voice tone. I didn't think anyone heard it over the loud blasting music. But with my luck- that wasn't so.
"You guys are going to the Capitol?" asks Stella.
