When I come up to Cinna's room I hear a sewing machine working at full force. I knock on the door and wait a few seconds but no one answers the door. "Cinna!" I say, "It's Katniss, open the door." Immediately I her the sewing machine stop. Then the door opens, "Come in Katniss. Take a seat." He say, motioning to a nice chair in the corner of the room. I sit down and start to organize my thoughts when Cinna sighs and starts talking before I do. "Katniss, is it true?" "No Cinna. None of it's true. I promise." I want Cinna to believe me, I need his advice. "I believe you, but why is the whole train talking about it?" Peeta was right, Effie did tell everyone. "Well…" How am I going to put this? "Effie walked in on Peeta and I kissing this morning." He gives me a look of doubt, "Are you sure that's all? I've been hearing something else too." What ever he heard it has to be a lie, we weren't doing anything else. "What?" I asked. "Were you wearing his shirt?" I let my head drop. I completely forgot about that. How could I be so stupid? "Cinna it's not what you think. I just took a shower in his room and didn't remember to bring any clothes for me to change into afterwards." "Shower?" Cinna says raising his eyebrows. "Separate showers Cinna! Separate!" I almost yell at him. "Katniss I don't think you should worry about this too much. Personally, I don't think it's a big problem."

"What? People think that Peeta and I slept together! How do you not see the problem with that?" I say, yelling loudly this time. "Katniss think about it. All of Panem knows that funny, handsome, and absolutely in love with you. This could be looked at as a good thing." "But the press…" I say. "The press will make this public, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think that you're fighting your feelings for Peeta more than you're fighting Effie and the press." All I can do is hang my head, confused. "Katniss, do you like him?" I look up at him and I can tell he's trying to hide a smile. "I guess, maybe, a little…yes…" "Do you love him?" "Yes…" I say, sighing. I can't believe I just said that. "Then I don't see what the problem is." "Cinna I've never even had a boyfriend." I admit. "Never?" He asks. "Being as beautiful as you I find that hard to believe." "The closest thing I've had to a boyfriend is Gale." "Gale?" He asks. Uh, oh. "Your cousin?" "Yeah… about that. He isn't actually my cousin. That was just a lie people made up so he wouldn't interfere with the whole "Star-Crossed Lovers from District 12" act." "Do you love Gale?" He asks hesitantly. "Yes, but only like a brother." "Then you need to tell Peeta how you feel. He needs to know that your love for Gale is different from your love from him." "Cinna I'm not good with words. You know that." "Well you have to let him know how you feel somehow. But for now I'm going to have to ask you to leave so I can finish the dress that I was making for you." I get out of my chair and hug him. "Thanks Cinna… for everything." He smiles, "Go get him girl on fire." I gave him a smile back and then left the room.
