JOHANNA POV
Once I stepped onto the grounds of District 13, I knew I was safe. There is noting to be afraid of, right? I'm back with the rest of the team. But the torture that I went through when I was in The Capitol makes a part of my brain think that a lot of things can go wrong. They really messed me up. I missed Katniss so much. Ever since we became allies in the Quarter Quell…. Fact is, I'm falling for her. I can't believe I am having these feelings. She's a GIRL. It's hard for me to talk to her. I get so flustered when I am around her, like I can't even have a simple conversation without blushing.
Well, ANYWAYS, when I got to District 13, they put me in a hospital bed. Considering that they knew I have been tortured, I'm not surprised. But I need to talk to Katniss. So when no one was looking, I snuck out of my bed and went to go find her. The first to talk to me was Finnick.
"Oh my gosh, Johanna! You're here! I'm so happy to see you! You look terrible… what did they do to you?!" said Finnick.
"I'm really happy to see you too! And I don't really want to talk about it… Have you seen Katniss?" I asked.
"That's okay. I totally understand. And yeah, she's with Gale in the cafeteria, why?" asked Finnick.
"Thanks! And no reason… well, I will talk to you later. I gotta go. Sorry, it's just really important." I answered.
"Okay… See ya!" Finnick said.
Okay, the cafeteria. Where is the cafeteria? Whatever, I'll just ask. But they don't know I'm out of my hospital bed. It's probably okay, a girl's gotta eat.
I asked a nearby nurse. "It's down the hall, and once you turn left, there is a pair of double doors, go through that and there is the cafeteria." "Thanks!" I said.
Once I get there, I see Katniss, right in the middle, sitting with Gale and Prim. I wonder where her mother is. Anyways, as I am walking up to her, she spots me, and she smiles, " Hey Johanna! I missed you so much! Want to eat lunch with us?" " Sh-sh- sure." I stuttered.
What the hell is wrong with me?! I look around and I see Prim smirking at me. Can she tell I like her sister? Am I that obvious?! I hope not, but maybe I am… Damn it.
Katniss walks with me over to the counter to get food, and once we get to the table, Gale stands up and says, "Sorry Catnip, I gotta go, Coin wants me. I'll catch up with you later though."
"It's okay, and yeah I'll see you later." Katniss says.
She didn't really seem to care that much when he left. Once I started eating we Katniss started talking to Prim about Peeta.
" He is really messed up. Ever since Peeta came back from the Capitol, everyone has been having to restrain him. And not to mention, he tried to kill me. I really miss the old him, you know?" Katniss mentioned.
"Yeah, I know. But hopefully Mom and all of the other doctors can find a cure for him," Prim said.
"Yeah he was really messed up in there! He was in the cell next to mine. Snow is a cruel bastard." Johanna exclaimed.
" I'm so sorry that you guys had to go through all that. Johanna, if you ever need to talk to me, I'm here for you. "I can't believe that you went through all that, and are still staying strong", " And, I really care about you guys. Peeta and Gale always say that they really care about me, and I really care about them, but not in the way they want me to, which is kind of stressful, because they are constantly trying, or tried, to get my attention, but I don't know…" Katniss explained.
Prim looks at me again with that little smirk of hers and looks back and forth between us. Oh god she knows. But why is she smirking at Katniss too? Wait, is Katniss BLUSHING?! Holy shit.
Do I have a shot?
