READ ON! XD
Peeta finally pulls away… Ok, I pushed him away.
"What do you think you're doing?" I shout. He looks at me with hurt eyes. He struggles to find his words, before Johanna speaks up.
"It was a dare, brainless. Try to stop zoning out, 'kay?" She says as she rolls her eyes. I shoot her a dirty look before stuffing my face with chips. I glance at Peeta through the side of my eye. He looks very hurt. As Finnick pulls the next card, I rub Peeta's back just to make him feel better. He smiles at me and playfully takes one of my chips. We lightly laugh and listen to Finnick.
"Okay well, it says from now on we have to spin a bottle to pick a player."
Madge gets up and taps a sleeping Haymitch on the couch. "What?" he grumbles.
"Give us an empty beer bottle."
He stares at her for a while to process what she said. He rubs his head and chugs down the remaining quarter from his alcohol. He shoves his bottle to her and heads to the door mumbling something about "kids drinking too early." He opens the door and leans against the frame with his back facing us. "Katniss, tell your mom… I said hi. I need to sleep off this hangover." He shuts the door behind him.
Madge sits down and hands Finnick the bottle. "Okay, let' see!" Finnick cheers as he spins the bottle. It lands on the mischievous Clove. She rolls her eyes as everyone makes "ooooooo" sounds.
"Just read the stupid card!" She shouts.
Finnick grins. "Clove, you have to do the cinnamon challenge!" Her jaw drops as Annie runs to the kitchen to get cinnamon and a spoon.
"I'm not doing that! Cato, don't let them make me do that!" Clove begs Cato.
I start to giggle with everyone else. Annie had shown Madge and I some videos of the cinnamon challenge. I couldn't wait to see Clove gagging on dry cinnamon. Annie comes back with a spoonful of cinnamon and hands it to Clove. "Ew…" she whispers. She quickly shoves it in her mouth. "It's not that b-…UGH!" She starts gagging and runs to the bathroom sink. Cato quickly follows her as she rinses out her mouth. Everyone is laughing their heads off as Clove is still gagging on the cinnamon. About ten minutes later she comes out. She plops on the floor and rests her head on Cato's chest.
"Spin the stupid bottle," she mumbles out. I giggle a little before she shuts me up with the piercing look on her eyes.
"Marvel, your turn!" Finnick says cheerfully. "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth," he says smugly.
"Have you ever peed in the pool before?"
He starts blushing. "…Yes."
Everyone starts laughing. "Well you were little, right?" Finnick asks.
His face gets even redder. "That's not what it says on the card!" Everyone cracks up laughing.
"Ok, ok. Let's leave pool-peeing Marvel alone." Marvel glares at him, but laughs anyway. "Ok let's see… Oh! It landed on me! Ok, it says…" his face turns red. "Go make out with your crush for seven minutes!" Cato snatches the card.
"Nuh-uh! It says the person next to you should pick two girls, who you aren't dating, and ask the player who he'd rather take on a date!" He grins boyishly. "I pick… Madge… and Katniss!"
Why me?
Finnick shifts in his seat. "Um…uh…Katniss, I guess. No offense Madge, but you seem more like you like gray-eyed b-" Madge quickly covers his mouth. Finnick knew? How? I look over at Gale, but he seems to not be listening.
Annie giggles. I'm glad she's not one of those over-possessive girlfriends.
Finnick spins the bottle again. "Me again! What!"
This time, Marvel snatches the card and asks, "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Tell one of the male players you love him."
"…'Scuse me?"
"You heard me."
"Ok fine…IloveyouMarvel."
"Why me?... I can't hear you~!
" I LOVE YOU MARVEL!"
Everyone starts cracking up. Finnick rolls his eyes, obviously embarrassed. He spins the bottle again, only for it to land on me. "Katniss! Truth or Dare?"
"…Truth."
"Have you ever have and/or had a crush on someone in this room?"
I sat there and thought. Did I like Peeta in that way? I…I'm not sure.
"It's complicated." All I hear is ooo's from everyone.
"Tell us more Katniss. I'm fascinated with your love life now." Glimmer purrs. I roll my eyes. Was
it that important. I look at Peeta, who has a hopeful look in his eye. I looked at Gale. He looked confused.
Finnick spins the bottle again. It lands on Cato. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare. All real men should pick that." Marvel rolls his eyes and makes a "psh" sound.
"Go out into the street and ask a stranger out on a coffee date." Cato stands up and struts to the door.
We all follow behind him. He opens the door and sees a girl on the street. We all watch from the door as he taps her back.
"Hey there babe. You are looking fine today! How about you and I get some coffee! Or we can get a shake, since you making my body temperature rise!" I roll my eyes at his lame pick-up line. The girl turns around. I'm shocked at who I see.
"Enobaria?!"
"Cato?!" She slaps him VERY hard and flips her hair. "Thresh is your friend! How could you do this to him? You know we're dating! Get out of my face before I slap you again!" Cato backs up in dismay and she storms off.
Johanna starts laughing. "Nice going, Cato!"
"Shut up Johanna." He says, his face red as a tomato. We go back inside, still laughing at Cato.
We are sitting on the couches watching a movie, eating pizza, and chatting about school. Though she can be rude at times, Johanna, Annie, Madge, and I have become great friends. Clove and Glimmer are continuously gossiping and giggling. Peeta, Cato, Marvel, Gale, and Finnick are talking about football or something. It's pretty cool hanging out with all these people. But I have caught Peeta glancing at me on several occasions. I've been avoiding him since the movie started.
"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom, okay?" I tell my friends. They nod and resume their conversation. I sprint upstairs and use the bathroom quickly. As I'm washing my hands, I hear steps coming up the stairs. "Hello?" I call out. No answer. I shrug and dry my hands. As I flick off the light and shut the door behind me, I'm met with those charming pools of cerulean eyes. "Hey," I say awkwardly.
"Hi. Look, about that kiss, the one in your bedroom, I'm really sorry if you didn't enjoy it. And I'm sorry if I forced myself on you. I just… I really like you. I've liked you since I was five. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Your hair is stunning and your eyes are so fascinating. I'd love to date you, but if you just wanna be friends… I'll understand." That was a lot to take in. Peeta likes me? Did I like him?
…
…
"Yes," I whisper barely audible.
"Huh? What?" He leans closer to hear me. But instead, I bring him closer and kiss him with all my might. My arms wrap around his neck and his arms wrap around my waist. When we pull apart, we're panting. I press my forehead against his.
"I…like you too." I whisper.
He laughs and his breath brushes against my lips. "That's great. We're dating now, right?"
I nod. His kisses me quickly and we hold hands and waltz downstairs. I'm so happy right now. With Peeta. Peeta Mellark. My first, loving boyfriend.
Fluff time! Yes, I know I probably rushed the whole Everlark, but I have good reasons. Anyway, I'll have chapter 8 up before Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks soooo much for being patient. I'm really working hard to start the Upload on the Weekends thing when I go back to school. XD Thanks for reading and please review! Also, I have a new poll open and please vote!
