Chapter III
Rose
" do you think she signed up for the contest!" i exclaim as i wait for Octavia
"I mean she probably did, did you see the way she looked at you? she totally likes you and that means she signed up for the tournament" Jason responded
"Also did you see her face light up as she saw you, that girl is so crushing on you." Jordan replied
" well i mean she couldn't possibly have entered. I didn't see her pass my room besides todayL+: I said but by the look that i was given i'm missing something
" the original reason that she came by was to drop off a letter. My bets on it being the application." Jordan said, looking very amused. Jason sat behind her smirking to his heart's content.
" well i mean i -" i start but i am interrupted by the sweet sound of the
Ringer on the theater room followed by a small but powerful voice
" Hey Rose, can I come in here?" it says and i know that it must be octavia. No one has such a soft but powerful voice but her. It's like a beautiful trumpet melody. I find myself drifting off into a fantasy until i'm awoke by a soft hand on my shoulder.
" hey are you ok? You're kinda drifting off." she said with such concern in her voice.
"Yeah if ok, if just thinking about the competition tomorrow. I'm scared of all of my dad's lap dogs. They all just want me for power and my dad just really has no clue on what I want. It just upsets me. I am sorry i didn't mean to dump that on you.'' I look down at my shoes. Octavia lifts my head with her finger so we have eye contact.
" no need to apologize. You just want someone who will love you for you" i feel the tension between us. I debate going in for a kiss but I'm interrupted by a small cough, from Jordan, signaling that our moment is up.
"Speaking of the tournament" Jordan begins and Jason smiles in the background "Octavia, are you planning on entering, or have you already?
"I'll only enter if Rose is ok with it. I sent in my application but i can always revoke it." the way my name sounds coming from her "rose" it sounds so elegant and special, like it means something when she says it. I can't help myself from staring at her. Without second thought i put my hand over hers, which is resting next to her leg, "Yeah. I would like you to, if it's no trouble for you." She shifts position so her face is slightly closer to mine. She grabbed my hand in hers and put her other hand by my side, leaning on it.
"Then it is done. I will see you tomorrow bright and early." we hold eye contact and as the seconds pass time slows. I feel my face getting red and she smirks.
" What is intimidating?" We both laugh and I glimpse Jordan in the background egging me on to kiss her. I shy away from her face and she does the same. I gave her hand a small squeeze before I let go. She looks at me, eyes full of emotion then turns to Jordan
"So, what movie are we watching?" she asks and steals one more glance at me.
"You pick" I answer for Jordan.
" i don't know if you guys will like my movies"
"Come on" jordan insists "they can't be that bad"
" fine, Hunger games marathon?" she smiles slightly and Jason nodded his head violently
"I LOVE the hunger games, is everyone else bored?" he asks, excitement filling his voice
"I take a theater seat in the front row and Octavia takes the one next to me. For some reason Jason and Jordan are in the row behind us but i don't question it. Octavia takes out her phone for less than a second then puts it away. I couldn't see who she texted but by her face I could tell that it was important. The movie starts and I nestle into my chair. Octavia moves closer to my seat and I look at her, and then her shoulder as if I am silently asking for permission to put my head down and nod. I read my head on her broad shoulder and she lets her head fall onto mine. She puts her hand onto the shared armrest and I go to grab it. I intertwine our pinkies and she grabbed the rest of my hand. Without looking i can tell that her heartbeat has slowed
~~~~~~
By the beginning of the 3rd movie Octavia is asleep and I am about to be as well. She cured her legs all snugly, she seemed cold so I asked Jordan to get her a blanket. Our hands still intertwined and our heads still resting upon each other. I drift off to sleep.
~~~~~~
I woke up in octavia and I was still in the same position we were in last night. I just woke up to look at my phone screen. It reads 7:25. 7:25 i wonder why it feels so familiar. 7:45 is the time that I am supposed to be at the tournament. I hurry and get everyone up and Octavia bolts to her room. I don't get so say goodbye but that does not matter now.. Jordan and Jason both help me put on the dress we picked out and we run down to the main courtyard. I see 6 other males along with their fathers. I assume that that is what Octavia was texting about. Asking Lexa to be her guardian. I look down at my watch to see that it is 7:30 and that octavia is not late. Not yet.
