I know that Vy won't be telling on me for a fact because she's got just as much to hide and loose as I do.

Then she teases me about it being a girl. I can't even imagine how difficult that would be and I'm not ready to go there. If I have to have a child this early it has to be a boy.
"I've already got a girl. I think that's enough." My preference is clear to anybody who knows me but we annot choose...which is probably a good thing.
"Do you suppose people in the capitol can choose? I mean they have ways of healing people in no time at all after the games. If I lived there I'd be in top shape again."
My mind wanders off in that direction for a moment.
"Would you volunteer to go to other districts? Maybe even the capitol? I mean that's a chance not many people get...see those freaks."

Vy got a different impression from Kyanote than I did which strikes me as odd. Did she change her mind or just hold back around Vy?
"Shehad a pretty hard time coping yesterday. Kyanote's worried about telling her father. I mean that's not going to be pretty."

A chill runs down my spine because of the cold clothes hugging me like a second skin. Now that my belly's almost full I wish I had put on dry clothes first.

"We're closing in 5 minutes." The kitchen personell informs us that their shift is done and since we're the last ones I hurry up.
I shove the last big bite of burger in my mouth and chew it.
"All three of us...."Those words display just how much will change. There's ging to be a new, very small person in our lifes.
"It's so strange to think that...when do you get used to the idea?" I still don't dare to say the full sentence afraid somebody could be evesdropping on us.

"C'mon, time for a shower." I get up and grab my tray but not before I wrap an arm around her shoulders.
"Tempting, isn't it?" I wink at her because I'm referring to the last shower incident.

Yup, one thing's for sure Matthew does not want a baby girl. After all this time he still holds on to his dislike for the female population? Difficult persona to keep up with given his inability to get along with either gender very well. Whatever floats his boat. "Better start hoping." Vy grins cockily. It'd be awfully hilarious to see him stuck with another girl, but it's not her decision either. Only time shall tell, and it moves them on to a more interesting topic for now. Do capitol Citizens get an option? With so many barriers blocking them from knowing the full truth but anywhere, let along the great Capitol, it'd be impossible for them to tell for certain. Given their medicine for everything else though the possibilities are very likely.

Is Matthew going to sneak into the Capitol to steal this very concoction? He may be that desperate for a boy, though it's very doubtful he'll actually do such a drastic thing to prevent a girl. Still a funny picture to imagine. "Probably." Vy comments, not even wanting to bring up her silly idea. Probably not the best move to put something like that in his head. A random short chuckle escaping despite herself. The conversation shifts to the capitol, and the possibilities this Academy holds with being sent there.

"Not unless Brooklyn's coming with me." Which means a no. The way that is ever happening is if it was due to her whole family being transported there, a large load of all three of them. The likeliness of that? Nonexistent. "Would you?" Because once again they're in opposite circumstance though very much alike. He's the father. Providing a large income for his family might be his top priority. Who knows. Plus it's only common courtesy to retaliate a question.

At this point informing Kyanite's father about the news is the biggest problem. With telling Matthew out of the way, it'll really only be downhill from there...till the baby comes of course. "Doesn't mean she won't be fine though." Vy reassures kindly. "I doubt it won't get too bad, but I won't be far incase it does. Kick some ass as always." Not really the time for a joke but it's more confidence then anything. In the long run they'll figure this all out.

The conversation's cut off when one of the Cooks announces that the cafeteria's closing, aka get out. Another fry is consumed by Vy who's been munching on them this entire time, no longer interested in the other half of her burger. Time to go, and this time actually on a good note. Who would of thought that was ever plausible. One last question is asked though before the journey to the halls. When will he get used to all of this? As if a particular time could be pinpointed. "I'll let you know when I find out." Vy offers as she throws away the rest of her dinner and puts up her tray.

Damn, now she has to go back to the stupid chick area. For a bit she was nearly in the past and about ready to go to the dorm they used to all share. A hand is thrown onto her shoulder to distract her from her thoughts, and as teasingly as ever Matthew has to call for shower time. Tempting? Not really. "Totally." That lovely sarcasm breaks water again as she digs her elbow into his side to push away from his friendly grip. "Guess I'll see you tomorrow." Her tone sounds surprisingly sorrowful as they have to part ways. What she wouldn't give to be back with her old roommates.

"Would you?" she retaliates my question in regards to whether she’d go to the capitol if she was assigned to it. We both know only the best and experienced pks will be sent.
“I doubt they’d send me. Not enough experience plus I’m not top of my class….on the contrary.” I frown at my empty plate. I hate being in this shape and behind my calls.
With a sour sweet smile I look up at Vy. “But you know that.”
I pause coming back to the question. “So far I would have said yes…now I don’t know.”

About Kyanite and her father problem she tells me. "Doesn't mean she won't be fine though." If onbly she knew.
"I doubt it won't get too bad, but I won't be far incase it does. Kick some ass as always.” I make a face at her stating. “Hello?? Thanks but I can do that.”
Am I suddenly this fragile that I need a girl to help my girl?
“You don’t know her dad. He kicked her out to sleep on the streets with a broken arm after she lost a fight in the pregames. That’s the kind of loving dad he is.”

As predicted Vy is not in the mood for another shower and getting caught again so she remarks and playfully throws her elbow in my side. "Totally. Guess I'll see you tomorrow."
“Yeah. Have a good night.” I tell her as I turn to leave in the other direction.
Before she’s too far gone I turn around and holler through the near empty hallway with the high ceilings.
“Thanks for coming outside, Vy.”
After our conversation I do feel a little better and a little less confused.
The I hurry away to take the shower I’ve been talking about. It’s much needed because my clothes are damp, cold and dirty. O’Rourke would hate to see me like this. I can only hope he won’t.
So I take two steps at a time to get upstairs as fast as I can with my dirty boots still in my hand.

Did Matthew really bring up the idea of being sent to the Capitiol as a peacekeep, just to follow up with the idea he's not experienced enough? Why even bother asking Vy if that's the case, because if he's the opposite of what they're looking for for that luxury place, they sure as hell won't be considering her. He actually holds that book smart, and even if he's not in top shape now he's capable of that as well. That's the exact combination that sends loser distirct two Keepers to somewhere like the Capitol. He doesn't feel the same though. "But you're up there." After all they probably want a shit load of uniforms patrolling that place, and just the top of the class won't cut it. In there predicament does this even matter enough to consider though? As if they could take the offer.

It sounds like Matthew would of taken the option without a doubt before, but with his new news he's unsure. Sort of surprising how this outcome is turning out. Guess the adventure and fortune of going there would be enough to put aside his teenage relationship, still a bit shocking though. Now that he has father duties to attend to, he's not so confident about his answer, which isn't as surprising. Does he want to follow his moral and emotional responsibilities, or the financial ones? "You'll figure out what you're suppose to do." Is the only advice that Vy can present. For that situation it really all depends on him, and her side won't make a difference. When and if the time comes, he'll certainly be making the right choice...given following any responsibilities in general is heading in the right direction. He's got this.

"Of course you can." Not really the time to pull out the attitude, but Vy's unable to resist not replying in sarcasm. So Matthew here is going to handle Kyanites father? Just like how he did with Jins, huh? It's about the time the true ass kicker was given her tittle. "Alright, backup." She'll play that card for now, perfectly fine with being the secret hero. One punch to Matthew's chest by Ky's old man, and they're going to be very glad Vy's around. Perhaps they'll realize that some day.

Already Vy could feel that nothing good will be coming out of informing Kyanite's dad, but Matthew has to express this very thing. She never did quite understand why people give away information as if it was some sort of competition. Another strict parent roams this district, big surprise. "Well good thing you have back up." It especially makes no sense given he was trying to convince her of why her presents wouldn't be needed. Don't become a lawyer Matthew, your constantly going to be giving the win to your opponent. Point made here? Good.

With this lovely topic dealt with, and the bigger fact that they're supposed to be showering and getting to their dorms, they have to part ways. How sad it is that Vy no longer has approval to do everything with the guys. Just over one little incident that wasn't even fully satisfying. This all might be worth it if it was. But either way this is their fork in the road where they take separate paths. Oddly enough good nights are even exchanged for the first time before her sluggish drag carries her off. Might as well put the cherry ontop as an even more unexpected last comment stops her for a second. Did he really just thank her?

A smile is unavoidable as she waves him off without even turning around. "I didn't do shit." She informs with a glance over her shoulder and a chuckle to join along. Glad he's changed his mind about all this. So does that mean, the weirdest friendship has finally been formed? How cute, they're all practically a little group now. And of course now that she's made nice with the boys, she has to go share a dorm with a bunch of chicks that still hate her. Things just always work out in her benefit, huh?
