He crossed his arms across his chest.

“You read it this year?”

My stomach dropped.

For a second, I don’t speak.

Last year.

The first masked man that looked down at my wrist after I’d realized the actors were allowed to touch me.

“Read what?”

He glanced down at my hand.

My pulse kicked.

“Why?”

“After last year, figured you would’ve learned.”

I studied him.

There was nothing on his face.

Nothing.

“How do you know I didn’t read it last year?”

His eyes held mine.

No fucking way.

Then-

“Everyone knows you didn’t read it.”

I frowned.

“What the fuck does that mean?”

“We were told to make sure everyone reads it when they’re at entrance.”
