I decided to post the next chapter because it was already written and I had some time to post.
DISCLAIMER: Still don't own The Hunger Games :(
Enjoy! :)
Peeta's P.O.V.
"Thanks," I said as I grabbed the mango smoothie in front of me. I went to sit down with Cato, Finnick, and Gale. I sat down and we started talking about last night's basketball game. I heard the door open but didn't look to see who it was because I was sure they were from school; I just didn't feel like finding out who. Cato, Gale, and Finnick tried to hold in their laughter. I turned around and there was Katniss. I turned back around so she wouldn't see me, but she was with Annie. Annie would end up getting her over here somehow.
"Hi, Finnick," Annie said walking over. She gave Finnick a peck on the lips and said hi to everyone else. Katniss was at the counter ordering her drink when she noticed Annie was gone. She looked around and saw Annie over here. "I have to go. Katniss and I are shopping for something to wear to the dance," Annie said. She went back over to Katniss and they grabbed their drinks and left.
"You did not take your eyes of Katniss since you saw it was her," Cato said. I glared at him. The guys started laughing. "We know you love her. Calm down," Cato said. I would say that it wasn't true, but they know me better than that… I think.
"Did you guys hear about what Peeta said to Glimmer today?" Finnick asked. Gale and Cato shook their heads. "She was like totally flirting and he literally blurted out that he didn't like her." They all started laughing. I heard the door open and heard Glimmer telling her friends what to do. "Speak of the devil."
"Hi, boys. Finnick, I was wondering if you had a date to the dance," Glimmer said.
"Uh, yea. Annie, my GIRLFRIEND."
"Gale?"
"He has someone in mind," Cato said.
"And you, Cato?"
"I'm going away this weekend so I'm going to miss it."
"Too bad. I'm mean I'm sure Peeta is going to turn me down again so who do I go with?"
"How about Marvel?" Gale suggested. "Aren't you guys still together?"
"Yea, what's your point?" Glimmer said clueless. "He's in LA on some student thing and I can't show up without a date."
"So, you are still dating Marvel, but you want to go out with Peeta at the same time?" Cato asked.
"Exactly."
"You do know he's coming back next week, right?" I asked.
"Yea, but the dance is Friday and I need a date."
"Please leave us alone. You are not going to find a date at this table. Marvel is our friend, we wouldn't do that to him," I said. Glimmer grunted and walked away.
"That's exactly what she did earlier!" Finnick exclaimed. We all laughed. When we left the smoothie shop, we decided to look around. We were walking past a store and I saw Annie in there. She was wearing a nice dress. I hit Finnick's shoulder to get his attention on his girlfriend. When he saw her, his jaw dropped. Then, I saw Katniss walk out of the changing room. She was in a gorgeous dress and I think my jaw dropped even more than Finnick's. Annie turned and saw us. I closed my mouth so she wouldn't realize I was staring at Katniss. She waved to Finnick and he started walking in. The other guys and I waited outside the store while he talked to his girlfriend. He gave her a kiss and walked out.
I thought about what it would be like if Katniss and I dated. I must have zone out because all of the sudden my friends were saying my name and waving in my face. "Dude, you zoned out for like 3 minutes. What were you thinking about?" Gale asked.
"Nothing," I replied.
"He was thinking about Katniss, wasn't he?" Finnick said teasingly. Cato and Gale agreed and they started talking about how I should ask her out. "Peeta, the dance is Friday. It's Tuesday. If you wait too long, Katniss might have a date."
"What if she doesn't like me?"
"I'll talk to Annie, see if she knows anything. Maybe she could find out," Finnick replied.
"Okay."
"Peeta?"
"Yea," I said turning around to face Annie.
"You want to know if Katniss likes you?"
"Yes."
"Well, you're in luck. She does."
"Really?"
"Yep." I couldn't believe she actually liked me.
"Thank you so much, Annie!" I exclaimed.
"No problem."
Katniss's P.O.V.
I was studying for my science test tomorrow when there was knock on the front door. "Katniss, can you get that?" Prim shouted from downstairs.
"You're on the same floor as the door. Why do I have to get it?"
"I'm taking care of Buttercup!"
"I'm going to cook that cat someday," I said under my breath. I got off my bed and looked out the window to see who it was. "No way!" I ran out of my room and down the stairs. I got to the front door and opened it.
"Hi, Katniss."
Please review. Who do you think is at her door? You'll find out in the next chapter. [BTW it MAY NOT be Peeta if that's what your thinking (and I know you were thinking it)]
