"What?" I say. I've seen this boy in the halls. He's never said more than one word to me. "When Fannia called your name I thought I would pass out," he says. "I feel embarrassed," I say, "but I don't know your name." "Leonis," he says. "My name's Leonis." "Oh yeah," I say. I remember he was the boy who picked on me in third grade. On the last day of school, he pushed me down at recess, so I tripped him. He fell down next to me, and we were both laughing. There was a brief second where I got lost in his brown eyes. Those same kind eyes are in front of me. "Win," he says. "I know you can so do it." "Okay," I say. Leonis steps forward and kisses me. He leaves me and I feel so alone. On the train ride to the Capitol, all I can think about is him. Phox comes out of his room. "What are you thinking about?" he asks. "Why did you volunteer for Hammil?" I reply. "I would rather die than have your favorite person die." He plops down next to me. "Well that's really sweet of you," I say. I look up at him and realize that I can't be thinking about Leonis. I've had a crush on Phox for as long as I can remember, and he just risked his life for me. Phox tilts his head and leans closer to me. He smells like wheat. I turn to him. Could this be the start of something? Does he like me? He starts to lean closer. Closer. Closer. Closer. Someone bursts through the door. "I'm your mentor, Alto," he says. "What are your strengths?" "Sage is really good at snares," Phox says. "Phox is really good at gathering," I shoot back. "LOVERS!" Alto yells. "What?" Phox and I say simultaneously. "You guys should be a couple, this is perfect!" he says. "I don't know," I say. "You could pull it off, just try!" he says. "It couldn't hurt," Phox says. "Okay," I say. We pull up to the Capitol. There are thousands of people cheering. "Look pretty," Alto says. Phox and I flash smiles. We turn around to see Alto grinning. "What?" I ask.
