"Katniss is that you?" A petite woman made her way over to us.
"Annie? How are you? It's been awhile since i've seen you, how's Finnick doing? He's just gotten married hasn't he?" Mom asked her old friend.
"Yes he has and his wife is the sweetest thing. Oh my goodness, Ebony you are looking so grown up. Is that Your mothers dress?" Annie asked me. She's so sweet, Annie was like a second mom to me when i was little. Mom kinda freaked out when she found out she was pregnant with me so Annie and her son Finnick jr moved closer to use so she could help mom. She was present almost every day of my life until the age of nine, thats when Finnick went off to collage so she moved away to be closer to her son. She only moved back a month ago and we haven't had a chance to meet up with her before today. It was very exciting to see her again after so long.
"Thanks Annie! Yeah this is one of mom's dress from her time touring the districts after wining the 74th Hunger Games."
"It's gorgeous! Now where is that brother of yours I haven't seen him in years!" She asked looking around.
"Um… Alex should be hanging out with the other boys at the basketball courts. I'm heading there now i can have him come find you if you would like." I offered.
"Sure sweetie, have fun! I'll see you later." She said then turned back around to finish her conversation with my mother.
I swerved in and out of different groups of people talking, having to stop and have a quick chat with everyone on the way to my destination. When i got there though my eyes when straight to the cutest boy there.
"Hey Chris!" I called out. Hopefully he remembers who i am, i haven't seen him since we were twelve.
"Oh hey Ebony, how you doing?" He asked me. Oh my gosh was he cute! His soft wavy, brown hair that blew in the wind when he ran, his tall muscular figure and his amazingly adorable smile. He looks so much more mature and so much better looking for the age of 16. It's crazy, for the loges time our parents would joke about us to falling in love and getting married when we were younger and both of us would have the same disgusted face. for the longest time i though of him like a brother. Now that hormones have finally kicked in i have different and new feelings for this friend.
"I'm doing great, how about you?" I responded quickly, sure i would faint.
"I'm doing fine, it would be better if Alex could shadowing me. I get it I'm Gale's son, but that doesn't mean i'm as strong and handy like my dad, he's so… You know and I'm just not like that. I don't want to be like him. You know what i mean?" He asked.
Don't worry, I'll get rid of him." I let Chris know then I stare at my younger brother until he takes the hint and runs off to find our mother.
"Thanks." he says softly taking my breath away.
We both sat there in awkward silence. It started to get to me. I was not known for keeping my mouth shut and staying quiet. Apparently neither was Chris because he didn't last long.
"Hey Ebony, follow me i want to show you something." He says dragging me behind him as we run off away from the rest of the party
