  As the blond haired boy and the blonde haired girl walked to the class they were already late to, she noticed how her friend kept an annoyed facial expression

"Is something wrong coryo" She asks softly, but the blonde just kept his face with the same expression "What's wrong"

"Nothings wrong Priscilla, only the fact how you took all the spotlight with yourself and your tribute making everyone put all their attention to him, making nobody care about lucy gray that moment," He said as he picked up his speed while going up the stairs, she cringed when she heard her name come out of his mouth, he never used her name he always called her 'cilla'

"I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't dragged me into that cage coryo, we should've just left, now we're both getting in trouble by the dean and i'll be getting in trouble back home, you already know my situation at home you shouldn't have taken me, but it was also my fault for listening to you with your ideas" The girl spoke catching up to her best friends paste but he ignored her comment as they finally made it into their classroom, He opened the door for himself while his friend followed

"Your little excursion was in violation of about five different academy rules Mr.Snow and Ms.Breen, Chef amongst them endangering capital students" The Dean spoke as the two walked in taking their seats

"What who?" Coriolanus questioned

"Yourself Mr.Snow and Ms.Breen peacekeepers already informed me on how you were the one dragging Ms.Breen into the truck, I'm moving for the game makers to disqualify you as mentor immediately Mr.Snow and figuring out the punishment for you Ms.Breen " The dean informed them

"I was willing on going with him inside the truck he shouldn't be getting a worse punishment" Priscilla spoke before her brother put a hand on her shoulder making her sit down staying silent before she said another word making the situation worse

"You said we have to get our tributes to preform, not to stay away from them" Coriolanus spoke

"I'll add in insubordination as well"

"Holding her hand coryo, trying to get the attention from the citizens, but cilla and her tribute had better luck then you did, you both make it look as we're on of the same as those animals" Arachne said, Priscilla turned to her friend with disgust written all over her face

"Coriolanus and Priscilla didn't show those people anything they don't already know," Sejanus spoke out

"I don't need your help Sejanus" Coriolanus told him

"But the tributes are human beings, just like us that's why nobody's wants to watch the games, is because people know deep down that winning a war ten years ago doesn't justify starving people's children, taking away their freedom,their rights" Sejanus finished as he caught the attention of the dean, he turned over to the Breen girl as she gave him a proud smile making him ever so slightly blush as he put a small smile, before the 'scary woman' as Priscilla calls, walks in

"Snow fell down in the cage, it fell down the but it landed..." Dr.Gaul spoke before staring at the snow boy

"on stage" he finished her sentence making her smile

"your good at games, maybe one day you'll be a game maker like me" the woman said with a smile

"If the games even continue at all" The dean spoke as he stared at the two

"oh, they'll continue, with performances like young Ms.Breen's in that zoo, and i came here to ask your star mentors a question" Dr.Gaul said as she turned to look at the red headed girl sitting next to her brother as everyone turned to look at her "Tell me Ms.Breen what are the hunger games for?"

The girl sat silent for a few seconds before answering "They're to punish the districts for their uprising against the capital to...commemorate the-"

"dull, dull, dull punishment can take myriad forms, why not drop bombs, cancel food shipments, stage exactions? why games?" Dr.Gaul asked the girl again, if Priscilla was honest Dr.Gaul always scared her so it became more harder for the girl to think of answers that'll please the woman

"Shouldn't we be asking ourselves wither or not they're right in the first place?" The girl asked looking at the woman before realizing she actually said what she thought out loud

"You have a problem with my games?" Dr.Gaul asked the girl, the girl just looked at her staying silent before her curly haired friend spoke for her as if he knew what she was thinking

"some of those kids were two years old when the war ended, the oldest of them were only eight, the capital is suppose to be everyone's government now, it is supposed to protect all of us, I don't see how making children fight each other to the death is supposed to protect anyone" The boy from the 'districts' ones before spoke

"That's sort of sympathy might interfere with your mentoring assignment," The woman spoke

"Perhaps the capital students are ill-suited to be mentoring tributes, perhaps the games times had passed" The dean spoke

"They will not pass, not yet we're still experimenting, Now Ms.Breed answer my question, What are the hunger games for?" Dr.Gaul spoke with a stern voice, Priscilla then thinks about how Treech bend down facing the children winning the audience's attention in a great way

"Because... it's because of the children. how they matter to people" she spoke

"How do they matter" The woman questioned

"People love children" Priscilla said, then thought about how her father hits his "Sometimes they do...I don't know why"

Dean highbottom then shot Dr.Gaul a look "You see it's a failed experiment"

"It is if no one watches!" she snapped back "She's a child herself, give her time give her and Mr.Snow here time, I've got a good feeling about these two, Well i'm off to visit my mutts" She gave Priscilla a smile as she shuffled towards the door.
