Tris POV:

I looked down at his mattress to where there is just a clump of blankets. Where was he, Bathroom maybe? I waited, and waited, and just when I couldn't take it anymore, about to get up and look for him, he appears, silently. If he wasn't blocking the emergency light, I wouldn't have even noticed him. He looks around, and I closed my eyes, evening my breaths. When I sneak a glance through my eye lids, his face is right in front of mine.

"Oh!" I say startled.

Moving my head back so I could see him better, he has his eyebrows raised; Like asking me a silent question. I don't say anything.

"Where were you?" I finally ask quietly.

He narrows his eyes, but then looks away. When he looks back at me, the look is gone. And he plants a kiss on my temple. He lies back down on his mattress, his back facing me. I look across the room, but Finnick is gone, probably went to bed.

The next afternoon, Coin announces that we can finally leave.  Apparently were also getting new compartments because damages were done to many of them. So after cleaning our spaces and filing towards the door, I look over to the front, I see Katniss get pulled aside by a man, who then signals Gale and Finnick to also come along. They move toward a door, and up the stairs. I turn to my head to my right and I see Prim clutching Buttercup tightly against her, looking around.

"Where's Katniss?" she asks looking up at me.

I point towards the door Katniss had just gone through, and she sighs and looks ahead to the crowd in front of us. As we're given our new compartment names and numbers. I realize as I look around that I haven't seen Uriah or Zeke, or Evelyn lately. Every once in awhile I'd see them, but I kind of missed seeing more of them. But as for Evelyn I can't complain of seeing less of her.

Tobias stands next to me, and I see Christina close behind me.

After having our arms scanned we're told that we will be in compartment number 2216. I don't hear what they tell Prim, but when she doesn't turn at any of the other halls, I realize that maybe she's close to our compartment, but I see a sign up ahead say the hospital is at the next turn, and I realize she's going there,

I tap her shoulder.

"Could I talk to you?" I ask.

She stops and turns around nodding her head. "Alone..." I add

She looks around at all the people and nods her head again in understanding.

"Yea we could talk in a compartment in a minute, I'm just going to drop off Buttercup then check on the patients at the hospital, what's your compartment number? I could come by when I'm ready." She offers.

"Yea sure, mine 2216" I say.

"Oh perfect. Mines 2212" she says with a small, kind smile.

"Alright"  

she turns around to talk to someone else when a boy taps her on the shoulder, already walking down the hall together.

Tobias looks down at me, with a confused expression, and then raises his eyebrow.

"It's nothing," I say quietly, waving it off. I can feel Tobias' and Christina's stare on my back as I continue towards our new compartment. After a moment I hear their steps behind me.
