Hey guys I'm back! I've decided I'm going to update every Wednesday for now and until this story is over! Thanks to everyone who favorited, followed, and reviewed my story! It means so much to me! I've decided i'm going to reply to y'alls reviews at the beginning of every chapter now :)
Guest: Aw! Thank you soo much! That means a lot!
WritingForDayz: Yeah I was a little worried about that but hey! It's an AU :) Thanks so much for the review!
But anyways, back to the story. Made sure to make it a little longer this time :)
"Hey Brainless", my best friend Johanna Mason all but screamed at me. She's was the exact definition of a "rebel" with her short brown hair with red streaks and her signature leather jacket.
"Hey Jo! How was your summer?" I asked, knowing I would regret it.
"Well, I went to the Bahamas with my wonderful foster family. Quite beautiful actually, not that I would really know. Spent most of my time in bed with Marvel." She snorts, knowing it would get a reaction out of me.
"Isn't that like incest or something. You're his foster sister?" I asked walking into our home room.
Johanna laughs, "Hey! Not by blood. Perfectly legal in my book. In my top 5 greatest sexcapades." She drags me to the back of the class, where two seats were open.
"What about you Brainless, finally grow a brain and tell Dough Boy that you want to get him in bed and-" I cut her off.
"Would you keep it down?! And no, I didn't tell Peeta how I feel yet. I think we're..." She stops me.
"'Better off as friends' come on Kat! I've been listening to that bull shit for almost four years. Katniss, four years is a long time to be stuck in the middle of the sexual tension between the two of you. It's quite exhausting really." She sighs dramatically.
"Jo..." I start.
"No Katniss! It's senior year! It's supposed to be the most memorable year of our lives. Get your head out of your ass and tell Mellark you love him or I will." She threatens. I mean, yes, I love Peeta. But why would Peeta love me? He is my best friend, he would never see me as more. Besides, I'm not his type. He goes for blonde haired, big boobed bimbos. I don't meet those requirements. But, my train of thought gets interrupted when Mrs. Trinkets high pitched voice starts ringing in my eardrums.
"Welcome, welcome! This is going to be a big big year for you seniors! I hope you have a marvelous start to your last year of high school! And, may the odds be ever in your favor!"
Nobody knew what the hell that meant, yet she always seems to be saying it. She acted like this was a TV show or something with her bright makeup and awful clothing. She was a walking freak. I zoned out as she started calling names to get their schedules.
"What would it be like to be with Peeta?" I thought. "Is he a good kisser? Is he a romantic? Is he a sweet talker? Is his-". I get cut off when i hear the rat like woman screech my name.
"Katniss Everdeen". She handed me my schedule and I immediately took a photo and sent it to Peeta, asking if we had any classes.
[8:34am]Peeta M: We have English, Lunch, and Calculus together.
[8:37am]Katniss E: Thank god
[8:38am]Peeta M: Why? Can't get enough of me? ;)
[8:40am]Katniss E: In your dreams Mellark *cue eye roll*
[8:42am]Peeta M: Every night Princess ;)
[8:43am]Peeta M: Walk with me to English?
[8:44am]Katniss E: Why? Can't get enough of me? ;)
[8:44am]Peeta M: Touché Everdeen. Meet you by your home room.
I was yanked out of my little world when the shrill of the bell sounded. I was waiting outside of the class for Peeta when two arms wrapped around me.
"Guess who Kitty Kat?" A husky voice whispered into my ear.
"Hey Finnick!" I smiled as I turned to hug him. "How was your summer?" I asked.
"Great! Spent it out at my beach house working long hours as a life guard. Saving lives all day is a tiring job." He laughs, kissing my cheek. I was used to this. Finnick was flirty with everyone.
"Finn, looking at boobs all day isn't the same thing as 'saving lives'" I laugh. That's when I see Peeta walking towards us, with a weird look on his face. I get out of Finnicks arms and walk towards Peeta.
"Kitty Kat", Finnick whines, "I was comfortable." I rolled my eyes and caught up to Peeta. He was acting strange. He wouldn't meet my eyes and kept walking faster as i tried to catch up.
"What the hell Peeta?" I bark, "what is wrong?" I ask a little nicer when he walks away again.
"It's nothing Katniss, i just have to get to English, that's all." he mumbles. He never acts like this to me. We've always told each other everything! Especially when we were mad at eachother. Why is he mad at me?
We take our seats and begin to endure what is English 4 with the drunken bastard Haymitch Abernathy. He drones on about the expectations and syllabus for his class. He looks just as excited to be up there saying it as we all are hearing it.
"Turn in your work, you get good grades. Don't turn in your work, you fail. Simple enough?" He asks us. We all mutter a few "Yes Sir's" and Yeah's".
The day drones on until lunch. I see Finnick, Johanna, and Peeta all at the table waving me over. As usual, everyone brought one thing for everyone to share, because not even the bravest warrior could survive the school "food". I brought some ham, Peeta brought the bread, Johanna brought the chips, and Finnick brought whatever the he he could find. We are all making small talk when Johanna stops mid sentence and starts to hum the Jaws theme. That only means one thing.
Glimmer Harding
Glimmer was a real life Regina George and was the gatekeeper of this hell. She has had it out for me and Johanna since freshman year and we will never know why. Hell, I don't even know why she is approaching our table.
"Vote me for Homecoming queen!" She says in an innocent voice that made me want to puke.
"Why? Don't you have enough plastic in you? Collecting it maybe?" I laugh. "What good would a plastic crown do you when you have the real stuff?
"Shut it, Seam Slut. I wasn't asking for your opinion." She sneers. "Homecoming is two weeks away. I know! So early this year! So I don't have much time to collect votes, but I hope you two boys vote for me" She winks as she struts away.
"I wouldn't touch her with a ten-foot pole", Finnick shudders, "Besides Kitty, you're not slut. Shes just jealous of your beauty." I blush. I've never been good at taking compliments. Soon, we all go back to eating and making fun of Glimmer. The bell to our final class rings and I start to Astronomy when Finnick suddenly grabs my hand.
"You know Kitty….. Homecoming is a two weeks away and we both seem to be dateless…." he starts, "what do you say you do the honor of being my date?" He rushes out, blushing like a mad man.
"Wait, you want to go to homecoming with me? The Seam Slut?" I ask, terribly confused.
"You know Katniss, I know you're in love with Peeta. You should also know that I am in love with Annie Cresta. I've been trying to get her to go out with me for years. But, I have a plan. We go to homecoming together, make a scene of touching, blushing, laughing, and maybe a kiss or two and make them jealous. What do you say?"
I think about it for a moment. Make Peeta jealous? Would it work? Its worth a shot.
"You've got yourself a date O'Dair." I finally say.
AHHHHHH! Katniss has a plan! Wonder what will happen? (evil laughter)
But, once again thanks to all of you who have favorited and followed and reviewed. It's like cookies to me :)
