Chapter 30

Amara saw Katniss dragging, so she tried to chill her out, saying, "Katniss, girl, you gotta call it a day. Save some juice for tomorrow." Katniss didn't even blink, "Yeah, you're right. We're almost outta coffee beans anyway. We can shut down early, so I'm bouncing now."

She figured she'd hit the books with the extra time. Sure, she wanted to stack some cash, but acing that big exam was the top priority. The school entrance was buzzing with people since it was mealtime. Just as she got there, someone hollered her name.

"Katniss!" Felix's voice cut through the noise, making her jump. She turned, "Felix, what are you doing here?"

Her heart skipped a beat, worried something was up with Maximilian.

"Katniss, Max asked me to give you this," Felix said, handing over a paper bag.

Katniss paused, not expecting Max to send cash.

Thinking about Max's kindness, Katniss felt a pang of regret. Such a good man, gone too soon in his past life. She silently vowed to fix Max's illness, making sure he lived a long life this time!
