Chapter 8 - Footsteps

The footsteps keep getting louder as they get closer. I look at jenn. She has her eyes closed. I put my head in my knees. 'This can't be happening. I cannot die in the first 5 minutes of the games' I think to myself. Jenn looks over at me, and by the look she gave me I thought for a second she had read my mind. I start sinking into thought, but quickly my thoughts are stopped at the sound of a nearby stick breaking. My head jerks left, and I see Jimmy swing around a tree. He smiles at me. I smile at him. "I've been looking all over for you!" He whispers to me. I smile more but then look over at jenn holding her ankle. Jimmy's smile fades along with mine. He knew I couldn't leave her. He knew that if it were anyone but him coming around that tree we would be dead by now. We all knew.
