Hey Guys, This is my first fanfic. It takes place modern day and Katniss and Peeta are both in there twenties. The first chapter is really short but the chapter will get longer, I Promise! Enjoy and Review!
Disclaimer: I am not Suzanne Collins (I wish I were) I own none of these characters.
Its 11:30. I'm supposed to meet Cato for lunch at noon. I stop at Starbucks to grab a Passion Tea Lemonade, while I sit and wait. The restaurant is only across the street, so I sip it slowly. It's 11:45 when I finish. Damn, I thought. I hated arriving first because I don't like to look like a loner. I suck up my pride and grab my purse. However. When I arrive Cato is already there, with a drink, he looks too comfortable to be waiting. I make sure I'm not seen as I watch him from afar. This is pathetic. I say to my self, Katniss Everdeen does not spy on her boyfriend of two years just because he arrived early. But still, here I am lurking in the corner watching him. I'm just about to walk up to him, when I see her. She has dark hair, darker than mine and it cuts of just above her shoulders. She sits herself in Cato's lap, and they begin making out. I don't know what to expect, I'm part hurt that Cato's been cheating on be for the past who-knows-how long, and part pissed because at 12:00 on the dot Cato pushes her off his lap, telling he to get her stuff and hide. I force myself from the corner in which I was lurking and head toward the table. I wasn't sure how our conversation was going to go, so I just walked over to him. He stood up and leaned to kiss me she I slapped him across his face. He looks stunned for a moment,
"Whoa, babe. What's up with you?" Cato asks.
"What's up with me? I walk in to see me boyfriend making out with some slut," I say with venom in my voice.
"It's all your fault" he says matter-a-fact tone
"Oh, Really? Care to enlighten me?"
"We haven't fucked in months, you failed to give me what I needed"
I cringe at the word "fucked" he knows I hate that. We were dating fro two years, it may have not been "making love" but I considered it something higher than "fucking" But that's gone now.
"Whatever" I say grabbing my purse "have a shitty life, asshole," and on that note I walk out of the restaurant.
I decide to finish the rest of my day moping in my apartment. I ate an entire frozen pizza, and was now finishing off a pint of cookie dough. Come on, Everdeen. Get it together. But I couldn't, I was just like those girls in one of those dumb movies that Madge and Annie like to watch during Girls Night Out. The only difference is that I don't cry. Cato was too much off an ass, to cry about. I just accept my new relationship status, and move on. I must have drifted of to sleep at some point because I awaken to the sound to my phone ringing. It was Madge.
"What's up" I ask.
"galeandiaregettingmarried!" she says screaming
"I have absolutely no idea what you're saying, try it again, slower"
"Gale and I are getting married," she says once more.
"What? Congrats Madge!"
"Thanks! Its on Saturday" I look at my calendar today is Sunday.
"Saturday, as in this coming Saturday? Isn't this a little rushed? I ask
"Well, Gale asked me when and I said 'next weekend' so Saturday it is. You and Cato will look so cute together," She says with excitement in her voice.
"There is no 'me and Cato' not anymore" I say with no emotion in my voice.
"What?" she shrieks "When did this happen?"
"He cheated on me, then tried to blame me, so I dumped him. I kinda felt bad, Madge called me to tell me about her new engagement, and I ruin it with my problems, I decide to change the subject.
"Did you pick out your dress yet?" Madge rambled on for hours about all of her plans, and for her sake I pretended to be excited.
It's Friday night and I am dress-hunting last minute. I'm in the changing room trying on my 7th dress this one was blue and purple; it had sequins and ruffles on the bottom. It was terrible. The dress looked like a tacky dress I would wear to a middle school dance. By this point I'm frustrated, none of these dresses are working. My final dress is red, ends mid-thigh and the V-neck is really low. I have never been so humiliated, that is when my door opens. I look up to see a man, a blond man, with bright blue eyes.
