Chapter 304 - Entering the Competition (1) (1/2)

I ate breakfast inside the car with Shelly, Alex and Luke. We were running late as we needed to get to the third district by 9AM. Unfortunately, it was too heavy for me to eat for breakfast. I felt like I couldn't eat more after one bite of the yogurt mixed with oats and nuts.

”One more bite,” Luke saw me barely touch the tiny container.

I frowned as Luke scooped a bigger portion onto my spoon. I could eat more for lunch in the third district. I shook my head, turning the other way.

”I'm full,” I mumbled.

Alex appeared to be pitying Luke as he finished his own cup within a few minutes. Luke sighed as he wiped the spoon and closed the container. Instead of throwing it away like usual, he placed it inside the inventory.

I wasn't always like this since it started in middle school. Sometimes, I couldn't seem to eat the large numbers of plates in front of me. There was an on and off switch to when my appetite came. Many of this was due to stress, I was under so much pressure that I didn't feel like eating at all except for what I liked.

These days with all the recent accidents and people dying because I was too late in saving them, my appetite was barely present. How could I be eating well while they were dead, never to eat anything again? It was only when I felt an extreme amount of hunger that this thinking vanished for me to devour everything in front of me.

”You're eating less lately,” Shelly had some concern in her voice.

”What did you guys do during the first day?” I tried to switch the topic.

”There's just an orientation and time to get settled in so we start competing on the second day,” Shelly recalled last year's schedule.

”Then what did you guys do during the spare time?” I wondered.

”We just explored the third district,” Shelly knew I would like this.

”Really? You didn't just stay in the arena?” My hopes were going up to meet with Oili.

Maybe I wouldn't have to sneak out to go to all those places anymore. I smiled as I went through all the plans, I made with Oili inside my head. It was a tight schedule, but it would be equally fulfilling. And that day would be today.

”I have so many places I want to go!” My eyes glittered.

The car stopped as we arrived at our destination. Nobody was outside as we were probably the last ones to move in. Alex went to the counter to sign in for all of us and brought all the room keys and other access cards.
