Katniss
When the girls got back to the school, everyone slowly peeled off and left in their cars, which left Clove and Katniss sitting on the hood of her car. "So, anyway…" Kat nervously looked down and then took a breath.
Clove put a hand, hesitantly, on her leg. "It's ok. Look, you can talk to me about it and I won't judge, obviously. But what I mean is..whether this is just you being curious or something more, I will support you. You just seem like a good person, Kat."
Katniss smiled up at Clove, and felt the hand leave her leg. She wished it had stayed there. "Ok well, over the summer, I started realizing that… Peeta was boring me. But I didn't really want to go further than we have. We touch and makeout and...I thought when we went down on eachother it would be more exciting. I'd start feeling hot for him or something. Because the last time I felt truly, honestly excited was when we first got together. But nothing really changed. I didn't...you know...but more than that I just didn't feel inclined to do more with him and it started feeling numb. This sounds horrible, because I'm still dating him, and I really really care about him, I just-"
"It's ok. You're not a bad person. You are being honest with yourself, both sexually and emotionally."
"Thanks, yea. So then out of nowhere I started watching the L Word. I had gone on the Gay/Lesbian section of Netflix one day. I have no idea why. And it started really..making me feel good. To see the women being together."
"Ok. Again totally normal. Lots of straight girls like lesbian porn or I guess in this case...soft-core? I've only seen like the first season."
"I'm on the third but uh, yea. The thing is, I know I should break up with Peeta. Not because I'm curious about girls, but because I know it's not fair to him."
"That's good of you."
"But I also know, somehow, that I want to try and-I want to-experiment with a girl. But that's not right. Because I don't want to end up not being into it and hurting someone."
"Ok, but you won't necessarily hurt someone. Not if they know exactly what the situation is and they can emotionally detach themselves."
"You think someone would be able to do that? Honestly?"
"I do. I mean, at our age, sometimes just sex is great. It's not ideal when you develop feelings, but I think someone would be able to not let it happen. Someone fairly experienced."
"Ok. Well..so I'm about to ask a stupid question.."
Clove
Clove braced herself. She wanted Katniss to ask if she could maybe experiment. With her. God, Clove, you have such a thing for her! Clove tried avoiding eye contact. She...maybe possibly thought that Katniss was beautiful. Who wouldn't?
"How do I go about finding someone like that? After I break up with Peeta, of course."
Oh. That was not exactly the question Clove was expecting (wanting). "Well… I um- is there an LGBT group at your school?"
"There is. You want me to go and just ask the gay girls if one of them would-"
"No. No I- I don't want this to be awkward and I totally get it if you aren't interested but..I could. It- it could be me."
Katniss looked like she was blushing. "Ok. Yea. I um...I'm interested. We can talk about this again after I breakup with him?"
"Yes. Promise me you are breaking up with him because you're not into him anymore, not because you want to try things with a girl?"
"Yes. I promise."
"Good for you."
Katniss' hand randomly reached out to Clove's, touched it, and she drew it back.
Clove smirked. "So, you wanna give me that ride home now? Effie may possibly care if I'm out too late."
Katniss nodded. "Yea, let's go."
