Katniss POV

3 days have passed since my first day at mocking jay high. Glimmer has still given me the evil eye, but I just shrug it off. Today is Friday, and I'm meeting officer Boggs for the very first time. Johanna, Madge, Gale, Finnick, annie, and thresh are all going to district 11 to see peeta wrestle. I really wanted to go but of course I can't because I have to go down to the police station. Peeta says that it's ok, and I can always go to the next one. It seemed like he was really trying hard to sound cheerful but I noticed a hint of disappointment.

Prim said that she would go and video tape his match on her old camera, and I said ok. I objected at first but then I eventually gave in, once she said that she's going with rue and thresh.

Now I am sitting here and it's close to the end of the school day. Yeah, that time of the day again.

Peeta is sitting across from me, drawing something in his notebook. He looks so focused by the look on his face. The bell rings and everyone Is out the door, but peeta just sits there.

"what are you drawing?" I ask and walk over to him. Before I could see what it was he shut his notebook and began to blush really bad.

"Nothing." he mumbles. He actually looks rally cute with- quit it Katniss.

I decide to just drop the subject, but I will find out what it was, one of these days.

"Ok." I say.

He picks up his stuff and we walk towards my locker.

"I'll see you in 5 minutes?" he asks with hopeful eyes.

I smile and say," sure."

I turn to my locker and spin in my combo. When the locker clicks open I shove my books in there and grab my bag. I slam my locker shut, and turn to find peeta walking over. He gives me a smile that makes me want to melt!

I need to stop that.

We walk outside together and he starts heading towards his car. I say 'bye' and head towards the path that leads to a sidewalk, until he yells behind me," Do you want a ride?"

"No thanks." I say. But half of me wants to say yes so I can talk to him again.

"come on Katniss, we live right next to each other." He says and stands by his car.

I sigh. He does have a point.

"Ok." I mumble in defeat and walk towards him. I think my eyes are playing tricks on me because I think I just saw him turn around with a smile.

He opens the car door for me as I get in. After, he gets into his side everything goes silent.

As he begins to drive we still stay silent until he says," Can I ask you something?"

"I guess." I say and stare ahead.

" How did you learn to shoot?" he asks and I freeze. Usually I try to avoid being asked this question and I even forbid thinking it. My throat goes dry and I feel myself being filled with hate. Part of me feels like I should tell him while the other half just tells me to lie to him like I did, but I'm a horrible liar. "You don't have to answer the question if you don't want to."

I decide I should tell him.

"No it's fine," I say and take a deep breath in," When I was younger my dad would always take me hunting. He would always help me with my aim and stuff if I couldn't do it myself. but of course that was until I was 11. He walked out on us and I don't know why."

I can feel my eyes sting and my lip begin to quiver. Why right now?

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have-" he begins with worry in his voice but I cut him off and say," It's fine."

He just nods and the rest of the ride is silent.

When he pulls up in front of my house I quickly say," Thank you."

"No problem." he says and begins to study me.

"Good luck with your match today." I say and stare down at my lap, awkwardly.

"Thanks," he says and I can hear him smile." Good luck with your officer."

"Thanks." I say and laugh.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" he asks and I turn to see him looking at me. his blue eyes are staring right at me and I can feel myself blush, so I look away.

" yeah." I say and get out the car. As I walk towards my house, I turn to him and say," Make sure prim behaves herself."

"I will." he says and shoots me a big smile.

I blush of course and smile at the floor. What's up with me and blushing?

I walk into my house expecting to see prim, but instead I find my mom reading the newspaper.

"hi." she says and her baby blue eyes stare at me.

"Hi." I say, trying to be polite.

"Officer Boggs called, and said to meet him at 6:00."she replies.

"Ok." I say and walk up to my room. Before I enter, I stop at prim's room to see if she's there. I see her sitting on the floor reading a book.

"Hi little duck." I say and smile.

"Hi." I hear her croak and realize she's been crying.

"Hey are you ok?" I ask and rush over to her.

"I'm fine." she says and wipes her tears.

"No your not." I say while l hug her and kiss the top of her head.

"Mom's going to leave again, I know it." she cries.

I want to say I know she is but I have to be positive," I'm sure she won't."

"your such a horrible liar Katniss." she says and wipes her tears. she looks at me with her baby blue eyes, yes just like my mother's, and says," Don't forget your-"

"Appointment." I say and give her a smile. "I know."

" I'll make sure to give you in on all the details of what happened after we watch the video when I get home." she says and her eyes light up.

"Ok." I say and plant a kiss on her forehead.

3 Hours Later

Prim has just left with thresh and rue to District 11 and they won't be back till midnight. Peeta left an hour ago, because he has to practice before the match. Meanwhile, I have to be down at the police station in 30 minutes.

Might as well be early than late.

I leave the house and walk towards my destination. The air feels humid and dry, probably because it rained yesterday.

Once I reach the front steps of the station I pull open the glass door. Immediately cool air hits my face and I'm greeted by the sight of men in blue uniforms everywhere. I walk up to a woman , who I think is the receptionist or something, and say," Hi, I'm Katniss Everdeen, I have an appointment with Offic-"

"Everdeen, right this way." says a tall man and motions for me to follow him.

He leads me towards a spacy room, which I suppose is his office. There's piles of papers everywhere, a laptop on his desk, picture frames of his family everywhere, and then there's a small refrigerator by his desk.

Once he closes the door behind him he says coldly," Have a seat."

I know this is going to be bad already.
