I walk out onstage, I already know what my tactic is going to be, but with Brielle, anything could happen.
"Hi Jace! So, I saw the look of shock on Rea's face when you were chosen. Do you know each other?" now my plan isn't going to work, crap.
"Yea, she's my best friend, and I help her practice with her knives and give her pointers."
"Is there a girl back home waiting for your arrival back home?"
"No."
"Really? Someone as handsome as you doesn't have anyone waiting for you to come home? How many of you don't believe him?" The crowd goes wild.
"Actually, there is."
"Spill Jace, tell us."
"Her name is Rea, and she came with me." The crowd is silent, and I stand to walk off stage.
