After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Katniss was totally blindsided when Ruby yanked her wrist like she was trying to rip it off. Instinct kicked in, and she shoved Ruby away hard, making her stumble and almost eat dirt.

Their little scuffle caught everyone's eye.

"What is going on?" Clara asked, looking all confused.

Juniper, seeing Ruby's sketchy reaction, got suspicious too. "Ruby, Clara, did you two mess with my water?"

She'd only had beef with these two before the competition.

Clara's eyes went wide, and she shook her head like crazy. "Juniper, what are you even talking about?"

Ruby's eyes flashed with guilt, but she shot back loudly, "Juniper, what kind of crap are you spewing? You're just trying to mess with Clara's head before the competition!" Ruby's voice was so loud it got everyone whispering, and even some teachers started looking over. Juniper was fuming, ready to throw hands, but Katniss held her back. "Juniper, don't fall for her BS. Let's go find a teacher and check the surveillance footage. The truth will come out," Katniss said.

Without solid proof, they couldn't just accuse Ruby of tampering.

Checking the surveillance footage was their best bet.

Taking advantage of Ruby's distraction, Katniss dragged Juniper towards the surveillance room.

"Stop right there!" Ruby yelled, throwing caution to the wind and chasing after them.

Clara wanted to follow but got held back by someone.
