Capitol-Katniss POV
I can't believe it Cinna, my amazing stylist, dressed me up and set me on fire of course it wasn't real but it looked real. The Capitol audience loved me and Peeta especially when he held our joined hands up high.
We are now back in the training centre.
"Katniss you looked amazing out there and thanks holding on to me I thought I was going to faint!" Peeta said to me considering we've rarely made any communication he makes it sound like we've known each other for years. I like him; he makes me feel better, never criticising me unlike some people.
Just as I was going to answer back I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I turn to see District 2 female tribute and the male; I look over to Peeta who wraps an arm around my shoulders, just for precaution. They smile a genuine one not a grimace or a smirk it's like they want to be friends with us, weird.
"Hi, I'm Clove Jase and this is Cato Jones you must be Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark." Clove greets us holding out a hand to shake still reluctant I shake hers and Cato hand and so does Peeta.
"I love your outfits totally amazing like WOW!" I smile unsure of what to say I've never been good at making friends or talking about clothes. My only friend back home is Madge and we don't really talk much we just keep each other company since we aren't popular unlike Peeta. Which is weird since Madge is the mayors' daughter.
"Would you two like to join me and Katniss on the roof?" Peeta asks. What roof I silently ask Peeta as I look at him.
"Me and Clove would love to join. Meet you there after dinner?" Cato replies, he seems nice not as threating as I imagined when I saw the reaping's.
Peeta guides me back to the elevator.
"Why did you ask them to meet us on roof? They could just push us off and where did you find out about this roof!" I yell at Peeta.
"It's Ok" he says putting a reassuring arm around me "Cinna told me about it and he said there is force field surrounding it so nothing can happen they seem nice enough. Don't you want to make some allies I know Haymich didn't mention it but they seem like they want to team with us."
"O, fine. But, one question first…" I don't know how to ask Peeta it's just that he is constantly putting his strong arms around me as if to ward off evil or to claim me as his. "Why do you always do this?" I say gesturing to his arm draped over my shoulder.
He takes his arm off my shoulders and backs away a little, and thinks for a while, running a hand through his wavy, blond locks and taking in a deep breath.
"Katniss, I like you. I've had a crush on you since we were five. Please don't take this the wrong way I know you and Gale are a thing."
"What! One: I'm not with Gale I love him like a brother and two: you liked me since we were five!" I can't believe it I mean I like him as well not love just friends but he loves me.
"Katniss-"The elevators open to reveal a delighted Effie and a moderately happy Haymich clutching a liquor bottle.
"Katniss, Peeta you were wonderful out there now come, come time for dinner" Effie says guiding us to our dining table which is filled with food. I quickly rush over and take a giant bite out of a chicken leg.
"Katniss! MANNERS!" Effie exclaims.
"Sorry" I mumble with a mouth full of delicious food.
Dinner is quiet so I decide to sort out what Peeta had said to me before. He said he liked me, do I like him back? I think, maybe, I don't know. Frustrated I excuse myself from dinner and go to my room.
My room is beautiful the bed is soft the material is warm and smooth not like from home where the fabric is worn and old. I remember the meeting on the roof and decide to get changed out of my tunic and into a jumper and trousers I found in the drawer not really caring about how I look.
Once I get to the roof I see Peeta is already there gazing out into the lit streets of the Capitol.
"Hey, I'm sorry about before I was just in shock" I say as I join him on the roof which is filled with exotic flowers and rattling wind chimes.
"It's ok I was planning on revealing it on the interview but now I guess you already know. And you properly don't feel the same" Peeta says with a sad glint in his beautiful blue eyes.
"No, I like you too" I say shyly with a smile on my face. He turns and kisses me on the lips. I sit there enjoying the moment it's peaceful I'm with Peeta and I feel a stirring in my chest. This is that kiss that makes me want another. Then to ruin the moment.
"Err me and Cato will come back later then" me and Peeta break apart from our embrace both of us blushing red.
"No it's ok you can stay." Peeta says laughing and putting an arm around me. They take a seat in front of us.
"So are you two a couple?" Clove asks which I guessed she would ask.
"Yes, I guess" I say and I look over to Peeta who looks like he could burst with happiness.
"Aaaww! That is so cute but then now. I'm so sorry for you two." Clove says and then I finally realise I will have to kill Peeta. And I bury my face in his shoulder on the verge of tears.
"So why did you two want to be friends with us I mean we're not I'm not cut for being a career" Peeta says while trying to calm me down. I look up to him with a confused face I why would he think I am cut for being a career. "Come on Katniss everyone knows you go hunting and I've already eaten so many of your 'lovely' squirrels." Peeta jokes with a big, cheesy grin on his face.
"You hunt! Wow we could really use you I'm great with a sword and Clove is an amazing knife thrower. You, Peeta what is your speciality?" Cato asks.
"I'm not good at anything unless you count baking"
"You bake! Didn't expect that from your appearance I mean you've got muscles where'd you get them from definitely not from frosting cakes!" Clove exclaims.
"Peeta can lift big sacks of flour and he came second in our school wrestling competition but only after his brother."
"Wow then we're sorted. Team?" Cato asks.
"You want us to join you careers?" I ask it is just weird I guess me and Peeta are good but why us.
"No we make our own group any way this year's careers from my point of view aren't as good. And we're friends right." Cato says. I look Peeta who still has his arm around me.
"Friends stick together, right? So why would we decline such an offer." Peeta says.
"Yay!" Clove claps and comes to me to give me a hug. I finally have a real friend, not like me and Madge weren't we just didn't really do what friends do we were just each other's company since neither of us had any friends really.
"We'll win together no matter what! Together we are stronger!" Clove proclaims. Laughing which I join in hugging her back.
"Oh no! It's 12 o'clock we better get back to our quarter see you two at training tomorrow." Cato says checking his watch. I hug Cato and Clove just before they leave then we all leave the roof back to our rooms.
Once me and Peeta gets to my bedroom door he turns to me.
"So you and me. Wow! I actually thought this would be a dreadful experience but I mean I have a wonderful girlfriend and two great new friends." I laugh and give him a hug.
"Goodnight, Peeta." And he kisses my forehead. I turn and go into my bedroom not bothering about changing my clothes I jump on my bed and instantly fall asleep, into a peaceful dream.
