Ok so chapter two! Right here right now
Alexa's POV
It was pretty cool to get to see him again, but when that text came I felt butterflies in my stomach. I feel very unfortunate about that because Peeta is definitely never going to feel the same about me.
I get to his door and knock on it. I make sure to knock exactly 5 times. I don't know why, but it's like I always need to knock that amount of times. Weird how I noticed that. I must be going insane. My thoughts are interrupted by the door opening. I put on my friendliest smile and reach in to hug him. We both greet each other and go inside his room.
"So, the main reason that you're over here is because, I need some advice," he says. I feel myself feeling a bit upset that he didn't want me here for a different reason, but I quickly push that aside.
"What's up?" I ask.
"Well, this is going to sound kind of awkward but you know Katniss?"
I nod my head.
"And you know Cato? That guy you met at Starbucks?"
I nod my head remembering that awkward moment.
"Well, I like Katniss. And, he does too."
I feel my heart drop instantly. Oh come on you stupid girl, he would never like you anyways. He's rich and famous, and you make minimum wage.
"So right now they're at a club somewhere, and I'm scared that he's going to steal her from me. Do you understand my predicament?" He asks. His head looks up at me, and I see the desperation in his eyes. I can't help but feel the guy's pain, and want to do anything to help him.
"Alright, I get it," I say slowly, "So what are we going to do?"
"Well that's what I'm asking you."
"Hmm well, I think you just need to 'woo' her. If you do that she'll definitely fall for you."
"Well how am I going to do that?"
"Well its October, and it's getting really close to Halloween, so how about you take her to Fright night?"
He gives me a confused look. "How will that help?"
"Just think about it, you go there she gets scared, and then you comfort her."
"Ok I think I get what you're saying."
"Sound like a plan?"
"Sounds like a plan."
A few minutes pass and we end up playing a game on the Wii that's in the room. We decide to play Wii party, and soon get really into it. But eventually we get bored, and find the Xbox. Wow it must've been expensive to get a room with all of these systems. I get to pick the game so I put in just dance, and turn the Kinect system on as well.
We end up getting really into it, and by the third dance we're on the ground laughing, the next thing you know the system starts taking pictures of us, and shows us surprisingly funning snap shots of our horrible dancing. Before we know it, it's already past twelve.
"Well I guess I should get going now. I had a lot of fun tonight," I say to him.
"Thanks for helping me with my dilemma, and hopefully all will work out in the end. And maybe we can hang out again soon, before we leave."
"Yea, that sounds great."
I open the door to find a drunk Katniss stumbling through the hallway with Cato chasing her.
"Ahah! You wouldn't believe how much fun we had!" Alexa exclaims.
"Um," Peeta says in utter bewilderment.
"And guess what! Cato asked me if I wanted to go to fright night with him, and I said yes! Ahaha! oh my god I'm so excited! Oh and it's just gonna be me and him! It'll be so much fun!"
"Oh I see but when are you going? Because tomorrow we're busy with our photo shoots and stuff, and plus won't you be scared?"
"Oh come on Peetaaa, I'm a big girl. I can handle myself." Obviously not if she's acting this crazy drunk.
"Yea Peeta, she's a big girl she can handle herself and others. It will be a nice friendly, oh let's say, date?" Teases Cato. You can feel the tension in the air between the two.
"Yeah! It will be a friendly date! Pleeease Peeta, for me?" Katniss starts to pout.
"Well fine as long as it's a friendly one." Peeta says his jaw hardening.
"Oh my gawd thank you!" Katniss throws her arms around him.
"Well I guess I better get you to bed now Katniss. You'll need your sleep for tomorrow." Cato said, and at that they walked away arm in arm. I sure hope that I don't act like that when I'm drunk. I look at Peeta I can see that he absolutely doesn't want it to happen.
"So," I ask. He looks at me.
"Well our plan will need to wait. But for now I need some sleep so see ya tomorrow."
And with that I walked away into the elevator, muddling over how your life can change in a few seconds. I instantly know that I am either going to regret everything that happened tonight, or am never going to be able to thank Katniss enough for what she said.
Ok so, that's the end of chapter two, and I realized that the last chapter was horrible. So I hope that this one was better, but it won't get super interesting until probably chapter 4. So please hang on. I'm trying my best to get there fast. And sorry for making Katniss all drunk and stuff, but it was necessary, so please read and review!
