"What?" I whisper. I know what's she's going to say, but I act like I don't.

"Told you so," she says quietly back. I sigh.

"Again, I'm not going to fake date him," I say. "It's wrong to play someone anyways." Sarah sighs.

"You know I'm right." Sarah stands up walks farther into the cave. I fold my arms and roll my eyes. I love Sarah in a friend way, but sometimes she's annoying. It's kind of sad but true. I sigh and roll my eyes.

"What happened with you and Aaron?" I hear a voice. I look up at Ben.

"Nothing you need to worry about," I answer and stand up.

"Tell me." I kneel down slightly to meet his eyes, just like I had before we were reaped. I want to him see that I'm not lying in my eyes.

"I told you already, it doesn't concern you, okay? Aaron just hugged me and I pushed him away. That's all."

"Then why did you push him away?"

"Because he's a little weird. Have you seen the way he stares..."

"He likes you. He doesn't stare at anyone else like that." I roll my eyes.

"There's no reason that he would like me. I'm stubborn and small compared to teens my age. I not even pretty."

Ben sighs. "You are a little stubborn, I have to say, but you're caring. He probability so how you and I hang out and watches you because he wants to know more about you."

"Yea, right," I say with a roll of my eyes. "I'm going to check on Jon."
