"Who are you?" were the only words that could escape my mouth.
He hides his face by looking towards the ground.
"Who, are, you?" I stammer.
He finally looks up, his eyes looked sad.
"Well, are you going to tell me or not?" I demand.
"You don't know me, and there isn't a reason why you should know me," he says.
"Well you know me, so I deserve to know you!" I state. "Anyway how do you know me?"
"I knew I shouldn't have talked to you… I just…" he murmured.
"Tell me who you are," I say.
"I'll make you a deal, you can ask me one question if I can ask you one," he says.
I nod my head as a response.
"Well, you're the curious one, ask a question!" he teases.
I roll my eyes, "Fine, who are you?"
"Me," he points to his chest. "I'm Shane, I moved here from District 2 with my mom, dad, and younger sister. We only moved here because my dad insisted on us coming here. He used to live here, and his best friend, and first love, lives here."
"And who was his best friend?" I question.
"I said only one question," he smirks. "It's my turn to ask a question."
"Fine," I say annoyed. "What's your question?"
His expression goes serious. "Are you actually related to Katniss Everdeen?"
I roll my eyes and sarcastically reply, "No, I'm related to a donkey. What do you think?"
He nods, "You're definitely related to her,"
I sigh, and he laughs.
"What's so funny?" I quickly ask.
"Well, it's just how your so much like you mother,"
"How do you know my mother?"
His expression grows sad, "I can't say. At least not now."
"Why not?" I raise my voice slightly.
"Because, it's not my place to go telling you something you don't already know. It's your mother and father's choice." He starts walking off with the squirrel.
I suddenly grow angry, for two reasons (a) I can't believe he won't tell me how he knows my mom, and (b) he's walking away with MY squirrel, and MY arrow!
I sprint after him and stop in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going with my arrow and my squirrel?" I demand.
"It's mine, I killed it."
"No, I killed it!"
He starts laughing.
"What?"
He throws me the squirrel and begins to walk off. "See you around Ebony,"
The only thing I can think now is, 'What the heck just happened?'
