Thank you again, Aloasa, for the review! And I'd also like to thank M-Preg Angel for the favorite! Thank you guys!
I was sleeping quite peacefully, when all of the sudden a loud honking noise woke me up. I bolted awake, almost hitting my head on the ceiling.
Sighing, I throw on some clothes, brush my hair and teeth, and stumble outside, exhausted.
"Morning. Hope you slept well." Chris says. Is that sarcasm I detect in his voice?
"Hi, Chris. You know you look really buff in those shorts." Heather says, and I raise an eyebrow at her.
"I know. Okay, I hope you're all ready because your next challenge begins in exactly one minute!" Chris says.
"Oh excuse me! I don't know if that's enough time to eat breakfast!" Owen says.
"Ohhh. You'll get breakfast, Owen. Right after you complete your twenty-kilometer run around the lake!" Chris replies, and my eyes widen.
"Oh, so you're funny now?" Eva growls. "You know what I think would be funny right now?" She stomps towards Chris, but Duncan, Geoff, and Courtney grab her back before she can do any harm. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?!"
"A little," Chris smirks. "You have thirty seconds."
We all get in running formation, as Chris says "Okay, runners! On your marks…get set…go!" And we all take off.
I try to run next to Trent, trying to impress him, but I'm not very athletic, so I just decide to walk.
"Pick it up, campers! If you're not back by dinner, you don't get to eat!" Chris shouts, and I groan. After what seems like an eternity, I manage to jog all the way to the mess hall, where I collapse in a chair, not even bothering to take my head off the table.
"What took you so long? Thanks to you, we lost the challenge!" Courtney, from the Killer Bass shouts at poor Harold, who's clutching his chest.
"Wait…if they lost…that means we win!" Gwen realizes, and we all cheer. I manage to let out a half-hearted "yay".
"Whoa there, hold your horses guys! That wasn't the challenge." Chris laughs.
"What did he just say?" Gwen says.
"Who's hungry?!" Chris grins, and suddenly a curtain draws apart, revealing a HUGE table stacked with food. My mouth waters.
After a half an hour of everyone scrambling to eat as much food as they can, by the end we're all stuffed. I lay on the ground, dazed. Who knew after a week of eating brown slop, regular food would taste just like heaven?
Everyone else around me is groaning after eating so much. Well, except for Owen, who continues to stuff as much food as he can down his throat. Chris suddenly jumps out of nowhere and stands on the buffet table.
"Okay campers! Time for part two of your challenge!" Chris says.
"I thought eating was the second part!" Owen mutters.
"What more do you want from us?" Gwen sighs.
"Ugh, weird goth girl is right. Haven't we been through enough?" Heather hisses at Chris.
"Um, let me think about that…no!" Chris grins wickedly. "It's time for…the awake-a-thon!"
"The what-a-thon?" Owen asks.
"Don't worry. This is an easy one. The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility." He replies.
"So, what you're saying is that the twenty-kilometer run, and the turkey-eating frenzy, were part of your evil plan to make it harder for us to stay awake?" Gwen asks.
"That's right, Gwen!" Chris replies.
"Man he's good." Gwen mumbles.
Trent walks over to me, and my heart skips a beat. "So, how long do you think it will be before everyone's out cold?" He asks me. I blink.
"Probably an hour or two." I grin, and he laughs.
After 12 hours, I'm still awake yawning every five seconds, leaning against a tree stump. So, I was ten hours off. Oh well.
"I don't think I'll be able to stay awake much longer." I sigh, blinking slowly. "This is sooo boring."
"Hey, it could be worse." Trent says, and I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Yeah? How?" I grin.
"Well, I could be stuck here without you to talk to." He replies, and I blush. Not the reply I was expecting. Then, I look away, so hopefully he doesn't see me blushing.
"Congratulations, campers! You've made it to the twenty-four hour mark!" Chris announces. I look around me. Several people have fallen asleep. But not Trent. "Time to take things up a notch."
Chef walks in wearing, get this, a pink sheep suit, and holding a harp.
Chris starts reading a story, adding the word "boring" to describe everything. Trent had the idea that to help keep each other awake, we should learn more about each other. I didn't know what that meant, but he started asking me questions anyway.
"Okay...what's your favorite color?" He asks me, and I blush.
"Um…turquoise." I reply. "Favorite song?"
"She Will Be Loved." He grins. "Favorite movie moment?"
I stare at the ground. "Oh, er…well, that part in the Hunger Games when Katniss and Peeta are in the cave…and yeah…" I trail off, feeling embarrassed.
"Haha, I love that movie!" Trent replies. For a moment, we both just sit there staring at each other, my face getting warmer and warmer, when suddenly a naked Owen walks by. Yes, completely naked.
Then it's down to me, Trent, Gwen, Heather and Duncan, Eva and Justin from the other team.
I'm lying on the ground, staring at the starry night sky. Suddenly a shooting star illuminates the night sky, and I make a wish. I'm pretty sure you can guess what I wished for. Trent comes and lays down next to me, and I instantly tense up.
"Looking at the stars, huh?" He says, and I blush. Do I have some kind of blushing issue?
"…Yeah…" I say, feeling embarrassed again.
"That's cool." He grins, and for a while we just lay there next to each other in silence, looking up at the sky, and I felt like I could lay like that forever. Apparently, I could, because next thing I knew, I had fallen asleep, snuggled right next to Trent.
Hey guys! Thanks for reading! Yes, I know, The Hunger Games was released in 2012, way after the first season was released, but oh well. Let's just say this season is set in 2013, okay? Thankies!
Review and you will get donuts! It is mucho appreciated! 3
