Chapter 4c: Enemy turned Friend

--------------------------------------------

McKayla -

After I said "Matt Mayer," the Mark twins scowled at me. I could tell they were about to pick him. Instant nemeses. Double trouble. Great.

***********************************

My group, consisting of 4 tributes, and 3 adults, hopped on the subway to go meet our stylists.

When Ellie told the rest of my team about the subway, they had same reaction as me.

Who has a school subway anyway?

She also told us about Mentor Mansions, again.

The train had rolled up, screeched to a stop, after we had taken a escalator from a supply closet. Crazy about the supply closet, I know.

Once on the subway, our group spread out. Well, almost. Zack won't leave my side, and keeps flirting with me. Odd.

Speaking of odd behavior, Kaylie and Simon are flirting with each other, which is odd for Simon, but not for Kaylie. Kaylie wwon't shut up about the games, either. Nope, still the norm for her.

But most strange is that Matt seems upset with me. I seek a glance at him.

The sunlight is glinting off his hair, and God does he look gorgeous.

He notices me peeking at him, and glares at me in response.

Matt -

Why me?

I barely even know her for God's sakes, and she chooses me as her enemy. Frankly, I'm surprised she wasn't blow to pieces right then and there.

I see her look at me timidly, as if she knows I know that she picked me as her enemy, and I can't help glaring back.

She furrows her eyebrows in confusion. Normally I'd think it cute, but right now she's being a little oblivious. But not a lot. She's perfect.

I don't like the way Zack's flirting with her. I thought she hated him?

I'm mostly upset at her because... well... um, as much as I hate admiring this, based on where we're all headed... I'm in love with McKayla Patterson.

I hate admitting it now, she considers me her enemy.

But I do love her. It's no longer infatuation. Ever since I met her, she's had an effect on me. Something I can barely describe, but all I know is it makes me want to hyperventilate any, and every time I see her.

Stop right there Matthew.

I can't be thinking this right now. There's less than 2% chance one of us will come out alive, two's impossible.

And she's two years younger than me.

And I'm her enemy.

Even so, I've decided I'll die to give her

parents a break from the heart ache. They've already lost one child to the games, and dealt with depression.

I want her so bad.

McKayla -

I want Matt so bad.

But he hates me.

Even so, I've decided I'll die to give his parents a break from the heart ache.

They've dealt with their divorce to each other, and that's enough.

I still want him so bad.

Zack -

I want McKayla so bad.

After years of attempting to get her attention, I'm finally her friend.

My plan:

Be her friend [X]

Be her crush [_]

Date her [_]

Get married [_]

Have kids [_]

So far, I've only completed the first step.

To make sure Matt, the person she picked as her crush, doesn't get any ideas, I told him he was her enemy.

But we all know Kaylie is her real enemy. I even got one of the adults in on the plan.
