Ells' POV
I sit down in between two girls, I think one of them was Cora and the other was Lindsey. And then, two boys were across from them. Austin and Matthew. Matthew was the one that talked to me first.

"Yeah, why?" I asked, taking a bite of my ham.

I had managed to grab a sweet roll and a slice of ham. Why did I have to be last in line at the buffet? Alright, next time, Ells, run to your food. Even though the ham tasted really good, don't let it get away from you. You need more meat on your skinny self...

"I am sooo sorry about Aaron! You know he's, like, furious at you!"

The pit of my stomach started to turn in all kinds of unusual directions...

"R-Really? Why? W-What did I do to make him so upset?"

Matthew stopped eating and looked at me like what-the-heck.

"Y-You don't know...?" Austin adds.

"He wants to be the best Lunar Mage in all of the games, and the sectors! Mainly the world!" Cora adds, taking a sip of her marble soda.

"He's not going to rest until your out of the games!" Matthew says to me, leaving me not as hungry as I was when I sat here. And we all know there is only one way out of the games...

"But I didn't mean to-"

"Oh, I know. Just, good luck with him." He said, as he started talking to Lindsey from across the table.

I ate the rest of what I could. I didn't like the feeling of Aaron watching my every move... at least, I think he's watching me.

I look around for him. Yep. He's watching me. He lip-syncs to me, "I am going to break you."

Then, the bell rings again.

The kids stampeded to put the rest of their dishes away. I made sure to be very slow. This was the time that all the other kids split up to their other teachers.

In other words, it was time for me to go to Mr. Coal for his tutoring lessons.

Perfect. Just what I need.

I can't explain now, but soon you will see.

What does he mean by that? Soon I will see. What will I see? That I don't need tutoring lessons? Cause I think that's a very reasonable answer.

"Ells! What class do you have next?"

I turned around to see none other then Astrid, catching up behind me.
