^Katniss P.O.V.^
I waited for Peeta to come and pick me up. It was almost seven, and he usually came early. I tapped my foot, and fingered the soft fabric of my shirt. What the fuck was taking him so long?
And then there was a vibrating in the pocket of my jeans. I snatched my phone out, and stared at the words.
hey katniss, sorry i can't come 2 pick u up 2nite. mom is yelling at me to do a shift for my the bakery 2day. can u come over?
I could feel anger boiling inside of me. He told me he would be here tonight, but why was I getting so worked up about this? He couldn't come, big deal! His mom was a bitch, so again why was I getting worked up? I tired to control the boiling inside of me, and I slowly typed the words out.
ok i get it why you can't come. i can't come over. i'm not feeling too well.
When I was satisfied, I hit the send button and waited until my phone said the message was delivered successfully. I sighed and hit a couple of buttons before I hit Madge's name. There was one ring before there was that chirpy voice of hers.
"Yello?" She said. She said, "yello," whenever she was excited.
"Why are you so excited?" I asked, accusingly.
"Well thanks for the nice hello. Guess what?" Madge asked. I knew she was about to burst any second now.
"Tell me. I have no time for guesses," I said.
"Just guess!"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Come on..."
"Just tell me what the fuck this is about?"
"Fine!"
"..."
"... yello?!"
"TELL ME!" I screamed.
"FINE! Anyways... my mom's pregnant!"
"What?"
"My mom's pregnant!"
"Oh Madge, I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks, and we're not sure if it's a boy or girl but she's only two months pregnant so yeah."
"Gosh, can't wait for another Madge," I say, sarcastically.
"Gee... thanks..." Madge says.
"No problem," I say, happily.
"Anyways, why'd you call?"
"I don't know why, but I feel different around Peeta."
"Why?"
"Well there's this guy..."
"Shit! Katniss are you cheating on Peeta?"
"What? No! Where the fuck did you get that idea?"
"Oops... sorry."
"Okay. So, I think his names Cato or something like that. He's a jock, and I never knew him before but today in English he was staring at me, and I felt so good..."
"What do you mean? Did you feel butterflies?"
"You actually believe that silly thing that's said in stories?" I ask.
"No... but that's not the point. Do you feel like your aroused or something?" Madge asks.
"Yeah, kinda..."
"Then you're attracted to him."
"But why would I be attracted to him? I'm dating Peeta."
"Katniss, I've never really been in this kinda situation so you've gotta decide whether to have sex with-"
"Madge no! Why would I have sex with some kind of jock?!" I practically scream.
"Calm down. I'm just saying, that you probably only want to have some kind of physical relationship and Peeta hasn't done it with you has he?"
"No..."
"Exactly. So you decide whether you want to forget about this jock or do it with him."
"Why would I want to do it with him? He's probably just using me, and why would I want to have sex with this guy? I don't even know him."
"Then do it with Peeta or something. Or do nothing about it!"
I though about this for a moment, and I said, "I have t-to... think more about this."
"Okay."
"So how are you and Gale?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
Madge got the hint and said, "We're doing fine. I think he wants to... you know... do it with me." Even from the other side of the phone I knew she was blushing.
"What makes you think that?" I asked, curiously.
"He's been acting all strange around me, and when we make out he tries to... you know..." Madge said. Again, I knew she was blushing.
"You're in love!" I say.
"Yeah, I am. Hold on." There was a moment of silence and the distant screams. "Hey Kat?"
"Yeah?"
"Mom's telling me dinner's ready. Talk to you tomorrow?"
"Sure, bye."
"Bye."
I hang up, and think about Cato some more until there is a vibrate in my pocket. I pluck my phone out and read the message.
ok, see you tomorrow? love u
I roll my eyes and the short message, and reply quickly and type:
yeah, see you later. love you too.
I hit SEND, and go to the dining room to eat dinner.
