The One Direction Games

Chapter Twenty Nine

Chapter 29

Kayli's POV

Infront of me, Rancine looks around the library. We were just switching for our patrol. "I can't believe no one thought of this place," she realizes.

I nod my head, then walk back to the book drop-off-place to sleep the night. I sigh. It was a long, long six hours.

Sleep isn't any better. I stay up, my stomach making loud, hungry noises. I haven't eaten in two days.

I pass Rancine, but she stops me. "Where are you going?"

"Just getting some food! I'm starving!" I yank myself from her clutch. "There's a grocery store right across the street."

Her look softens, and I walk out the library.

I nervously look around for danger. After I feel secure, I go across the street. But something stops me.

I feel I'm being watched. I glance protectively everywhere but don't see anyone.

Probably just my imagination, I think.

"Psst! Kayli! Hey, hey! Psst!!!!" The noise came from behind me. I have no idea how the person knows my name, but I dash forward. I stop right outside the supermarket.

"Kay-liiiiiiii!!!!!!!!" The voice pushes. But I realize something about this voice. It's a guy's voice..

"HARRY!" I run back across the road, dodging a stop sign and running up to the fence.

"Oh, Kayli." He whispers.

I feel his sadness. "It's felt like a year," I comment. "I just wish this dumb contest was over."

He leans in, and so do I through a hole in the fence, trying a kiss.

"Ow!" He leaps back, and his sudden movement scared me, so I jerk forward, then leap back. The pain pierces me like a colt bucking my mouth.

"Oh, cr---" my eyes started to tear, and I was soon crying of pain. "What WAS that?" I ask.

Harry heaves then answers, "They probably put an electric fence so no one can climb and get out..."

I look down. "Stupid clever hosts."

"Sure wish they didn't."

"Then I could get out..." I wonder.

"Then I couldn't marry you." He replies.

"What do you mean?"

He looks at my stupidly. "I have to marry a winner." He stares at his feet. "And you wouldn't be a winner.."

"Oh." I reply quickly. "I guess of we can't spend time together then I'd Better get going.."

I walk away, heading back for the grocery store to get bags of food.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What took so long?" Rancine exclaims when I go in the library.

"I met Harry by the fence, but it doesn't matter." I walk away, but give her an apple to eat.

I settle with uncooked chicken flavored Ramen, and smash it first.

"Wait-- what do you mean 'doesn't matter'! It does matter! You saw them! They're safe!"

I sigh. "Well, yeah, but it wasn't a very...pleasant meet,I guess I'd say."

"Um.."

I run to the book drop-off-place to sleep. This time it was easy to be peaceful.
