Chapter 0203
“I wouldn't say the growing rebellion was because people were rallying behind me. I'm not a leader, how many
times do | have to tell people that.” His head shook again in disagreement, why was he so adamant to getto
lead the masses.
“Your a natural leader, Riley. I've seen it first hand, you leadto help you smuggle things into our district,
you're ideals have swayed more and more people to join the rebellion, and you setting fire to the stage in the
district, lead sixteen districts to follow suit. You really don’t realize the impact you have on everyone around

corridor within the RV. “I am done feeling sorry for myself and my situation, it’s not like | can change anything

once again.
“How exactly do you plan on doing that?” | thought about for a minute, however my answer ca lot quicker
than | expected it to. It was pretty obvious after everything that had happened in the past few months. | had
genuinely never felt stronger than | did in that moment, and | was going to do everything in my power to keep
myself feeling like that.
