Waking up the next morning was dreadful for Juniper. She had dragged herself out of bed, and when Amirah had showed up to make breakfast, she didn't even want to eat at first.
It took some convincing to get some food in her stomach, and Juniper ended up eating a good amount.
The morning was quiet, Wade hadn't spoken much either, he just silently ate his food like everybody else. Finnick and Mags had no advice to give out, and Serenity noticed everyones worry.
"Well, you two must be off." Serenity said with a frown. "I know you two will do your best, and we will all be cheering you on, okay?" She smiled, earning a small side smile from Wade.
"Thanks, Serenity." said Wade. Serenity nodded, getting up from her seat. Wade and Juniper followed her actions.
Wade and Juniper followed Serenity, Amirah, Finnick, and Mags outside. Finnick repeated some advice he gave a few days ago and what exactly to avoid in the arena. Wade and Juniper listened very closely, making sure not to miss anything he said.
Eventually, the group had made it outside and saw a giant hovercraft waiting for them. They noticed a few other groups also making their way outside and standing with their escorts.
Wade and Juniper stood awkwardly facing their friends, not knowing what to say.
"Well, Kai is waiting for you there already, Wade." Amirah said. Wade nodded, and began speaking to Finnick. Amirah took a few steps closer to Juniper. "I'll meet you there, okay? I'll be the one sending you up."
"Thanks, Mira." Juniper smiled, and Amirah frowned, tackling her friend into a hug.
"The games change people, please don't let it change you." Amirah whispered, letting go of the hug a few moments later. Juniper nodded.
Finnick came over to Juniper next, giving her a hug. Their hug lasted a little bit too long, which made Amirah smirk, but eventually, they let go.
"People will try to turn you against your friends. But in the end, it's your choice, okay?" Finnick whispered, smiling. Juniper nodded.
"Well, you two better be off." Finnick said. "Remember everything you learned, everything is important when you get in that arena. Good luck." He gave a small smile, but Juniper noticed the sadness in his eyes.
Juniper looked towards the arm a needle had put into just before. She looked herself in the mirror, she was alone in a room with a glass container. She was dressed in black cargo pants and a black shirt. She had a camo jacket laying over her shoulders, and pretty heavy boots on- which she didn't like.
