Chapter 1

Cassie's POV

The intensity was real. I was not going down like this. Victory was in sight. Yet only one person stood in my way.

"Mitch, move out of my way." I commanded.

"In your dreams!" He responded as he darted straight towards me.

I was slowly beginning to realize how overly-into I was in this ridiculous game. But Mitch liked it and I was the one who agreed to play it with him. This was our 19th round--yes, I was counting--and this was the first one I had finally won. I beat Mitch at the hunger games.

"I don't think I'm dreaming Mitch." I snickered, enjoying my new victory.

He didn't respond.

"Mitch?"

He was still in the call, so something was off.

I left my seat and walked 4 doors down the hall and entered. Or at least that's what I meant to do. Instead of actually going in, I ran straight into the door. When I tried a second time, I realized it was locked.

"Mitch let me in." I demanded, my nerves growing a bit as the worst case scenarios filled my head.

I heard an almost silent sigh on the other side of the door. Or at least I think I did. I guess that means he's alive. I think.

It took 6 minutes of demanding and coaxing before I finally heard the door handle click.

Yet, I still managed to run into the door. Again.
