*Two Days Later*
I get to training early, like always, and see four setting up the targets. His eyes meet mine and he smiles. I smile back.

"Hey." I say.
"Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you." he says.

"About what?" I ask curiously.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asks.
"Nothing, why? Did you find something else on my parents?" I ask.

"No, I was thinking that we could... i don't know. Hang out. Non work related." he offers and I see the slightest blush on his neck.

"As in like a date?" I ask cautiously.
"If that's what you want it to be. Yea." he replies and I smile.

"I'd like that. But isn't there something against that in the rules?" I whisper in questioning.

"Okay, I'll pick you up from your room around five. Don't worry about the rules." he replies and I smile.

"Okay." I whisper and begin silently dragging the targets into place.
---------------------------
Lunch starts around three aclock, I go to the cafeteria with Chris, Will, and Uriah. When I sit down Uriah immediately smirks at me.

"What?" I ask and pick at my cake.
"I call being the godfather of the child." he whisper yells. My face reddens and i begins choking.

"W-what?!" I wheeze out in between breaths. Chris hands me a water bottle and I immediately take a sip.

"I know about your date tonight. I want to be the godfather." he repeats, i stare at him in disbelief.

"Who are you going on a date with?" Chris asks in an excited tone.

"No one." I growl and glare towards Uriah.
"Uriah tell us." Chris begs in sync with Will.
"No can do." he chuckles and I whack his arm.
"Now they aren't going to stop asking!" I angrily exclaim.

"No we aren't, so tell us." Chris interrupts.
"I'm gonna go. I'll see you guys at training tomorrow." I say and quickly stand up.

"You can't hide forever. I will find out." Chris teasingly calls. i wave her off and rush out of the cafeteria doors.
-------------------
There's a knock on my door and I open it to see four. He smiles and motions for him to enter.

"Hey." I say.
"Hi, are you ready?" He asks.
"Yea I just need to put on shoes, what are we doing?" I ask curiously.

"It's a surprise. Wear comfortable shoes that you can climb with though." he says and my eyes narrow.

"I don't like surprises." i state.
"You'll like this one." he replies confidently. I smile and lace up my combat boots. When I stand up he links our hands together and leads me out of the room. We get in the elevator and he swipes his card.

"We're leaving the compound? I thought trainees weren't allowed to leave until the coarse ended?" I ask curiously.

"Yea they aren't, but Myra told me I could steal you for the day." he teasingly chuckles.

"Well...Thank you. I think I need I get out of here for the day. It's getting a little stuffy." I smile back.

"Yea, you'll get use to that after a few more weeks." he murmurs and unlocks his car. He opens the passenger door for me and helps me in.

"Thanks." I whisper and he nods as he jog around to the drivers side of the car. I nervously bite my lip and he starts the car.

"Calm down, Im not a murderer. Were not going to far from here." he says, noticing my discomfortable. His hand links with mine once he begins driving and I relax.

"Tell me about yourself. I realized that we know each other's deepest darkest secrets, yet we don't know the little things." he says.

"There's not really much to tell." I answer.
"What's your favorite color?" He asks.
"Blue. Yours?" I ask.
"Blue." he answers and I smile.

"If you could have one wish come true, what would it be?" He questions.

"Truthfully? I would wish for world peace or for world hunger to end." i answer.

"Why? I mean... that's a good answer. But someone else would have wished for money, wealth, and fame." he says.

"Our world has so many political issues. Why wouldn't I wish for that? I'm just one person, I wouldn't want to make myself wealthy or famous. Not if I could save hundreds of thousands of other people." i explain.

"You're the most selfless person I've ever met." he says with a smile.

"I'm not selfless." i mumble.
"Yes you are. You just underestimate yourself." he chuckles lightly. The car stops and I look out the window for the first time. A huge ferris wheel sits in front of us.
