I took Ryhlee's hand and looked over at him "you ok?" I asked, I noticed how he looked tired, and I was almost afraid he would fall asleep at any minute. "I'm fine, I think all this public speaking is making me nervous. I've never been good at talking to crowds, performing is more of my forte" he said, I felt bad that I hadn't stepped in more, I should've realized that he was uncomfortable. "Alright shitheads, were going to go to bed, don't stay up all night or you'll pass out and I won't help" Coral ruffled my hair, then paused for a second and ruffled Ryhlee's hair as well. "I knew you when you were younger, you probably don't remember me though. It's nice to see you again" Coral smiled softly at me as her and Eliana walked off to find somewhere to sleep while I stayed with Ryhlee. 

 "Don't worry, that's Coral's way of saying 'goodnight, I want you to sleep because I care about you and don't want you to get hurt' she always act all tough, but she's a big softy inside, but she can still kill you in an instant." I told him, making sure he knew she liked him.

"Do you think we might've known each other when the war going on, and we don't remember each other cause were too young?" I asked, Ryhlee shrugged his shoulders, uncertain of how to answer the question. "Maybe, but even so, why does it matter, we were kids, and I think knowing each other would make the games harder."  I thought about what he said, and the only conclusion I could come was that he was right, knowing each other would make this harder for us. "Come on, let's go find a place to sleep." he nodded in agreement, and I helped him up. We found an area close to Coral and Eliana, who had been whispering to each other. "Goodnight Ryhlee" I whispered, even though I knew he was already asleep the second he laid down.

 I was starting to really like Ryhlee, and it hurt knowing that in a few days we would be forced to kill each other, even if we were allies. I started thinking of ways we could get out of the arena and make it out alive, but I had a feeling it would be nearly impossible. Coral rolled over to me and started whispering again "I can tell what you're thinking about, tell me the plan that you have far" Coral demanded. "Well, there are air ducts in the arena, so maybe you and Eliana could get into a fight and Eliana could take Ryhlee with her and they could go in the air ducts, and we'll pretend like we want to kill them and follow after. of course, we would have to sound like were after them though, but we'll manage to make noises. then at night we can sneak out into the streets and run, the district thirteen remains are closest, and no one would go looking for us there." I explained. "That sounds like the perfect plan, let's tell them tomorrow. and remember, I'm going to get other allies. but there not coming with us. We should probably go when it's only us and one other, so we can kill them and run for the ducts, that'll put space between us." Coral added.

I went to sleep that night, hoping that we could all live long enough to see the safety district thirteen would bring us. Hoping everything was going to be ok.
