Katniss' POV
I ran off to find the annoying down-to-earth Johanna Mason. She was a good friend, though. A loyal friend that was not afraid to say sexual things and say that your favorite dress looked like a trash bag on you.
I kind of met Annie Cresta over the summer because I wanted to kind of get to know her before the year started. We Facebooked each other a lot.
Soon I see a brown pixie cut somewhere, and head towards it.
"Brainless," Johanna said flatly. "I found little Mouse over here." she nudged Annie that was standing awkwardly next to her.
"I missed you too, Johanna," I rolled my eyes. "Hi, Annie. It's great to see you in person. And Johanna only nicknames people she cares about, so take it as a compliment." Annie smiled at this.
"Finnick says he's rooming your boyfriend Peeta," Annie told me.
"Peeta's not my boyfriend," I said quickly. Johanna gives me a smug look at this.
"Well then, it seems like he's really really head-over-heels in love with you, Katniss."
"Who's Finnick?" Johanna asks. I remember to owe her for pulling me out of my awkward hole.
"My boyfriend," Annie smiles shyly. Then a well-built man with bronze hair and toned skin walked over, wrapping his arms around Annie from behind.
"Someone call me?" he asks. I could see that his eyes were overflowing with love for Annie.
"Oooh, Annie's got a hottie." Johanna teases, while Annie blushes. They look really happy together.
I imagine Peeta and I like that, happy together.
Peeta's POV
Beetee is nowhere in sight. I just met Finnick Odair, and he is extremely arrogant, but looks like a good friend. He's very shameless and as I watched him saunter over to his girl, Annie Cresta, I saw Katniss over there. I took a deep breath and casually walked over to her.
"Huh, looks like couple number two is complete," Johanna smirked. Katniss blushed furiously and turned to me.
"Have you met Annie and Finnick?" she asked me.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Um, I'm going to go move in early. See you guys later." Katniss ran off hurriedly without another word into her dorm.
Finnick raised his eyesbrows at me.
"She likes you, man." Finnick comfirmed.
"What do you know?" I sighed.
"She kissed you back on the train."
"You saw that?" My eyes widened. Annie chuckled.
"We sat behind you," Annie said in her small voice.
"Go get her!" Johanna screamed at me.
I took another breath and headed toward the dorms.
Katniss' POV
I just sat on the couch, staring out the window. My feelings were a mess.
Did I like Peeta?
Did he like me?
I was taking my hair out of my braid when Peeta burst into the room. His face turned red when he noticed how loud he was.
"Hi, Peeta." I smiled, and patted the pace next to me on the couch. He closed the door behind him and sat down. I rested my head on his shoulder. I felt Peeta stiffen under me but soon relaxed. After a moment of silence Peeta's hand flew up to my hair and started stroking.
Why I felt so comfortable with someone touching me, that kiss on the train, Peeta's quiet state when Gale and I were dating-it all made sense now. I was just too blind to see it.
"Peeta, we're more than friends."
