It's not really safe to say it here, but if you recognze anything like this for PE i might know youu! btw, FALINE INGRID PANYA is a fake name. don't really want stalkers do i?


It's Prim. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. Prim mad? Prim is standing there at the door to my dorm, her face is flushed red, in reasons I do not know..

"Prim are you OK?" I ask cautiously. This sweet girl doesn't lose her temper very often, so I'm not sure how to approach her. She looks at me sadly and angrily.

"No, Peeta! It's Valentine's Day and nothing turned out the way I planned it!"

Prim explains to me that Rory had told her he had something amazing planned out for her. And naturally, since it's Prim, she's all excited and giddy about it.

"Then when it comes Valentine's Day, NOTHING!" she cried.

She starts to sob in my arms, while sputtering out,

"I even saw Rory kissing Lily!"

"Lilly? As in Lilianna Winset?" Prim nods slightly. Lilliana Winset is a good friend of Prim. Maybe even her best friend. Ok, now I'm mad. Rory has the nerve to hurt sweet loveable Primrose Everdeen? Just then , Katniss (my girlfriend, YESS!) walks in the door looking furious. She's pulling Rory and Gale behind her. She throws Rory onto a chair, and Gale does the same to him. She gives him the death glare, which even scares me, and says

"Why?" in a such a dangerous and deadly voice that even scares me. I'm still holding Prim who has now stopped sobbing, but still crying. Rory looks over to Gale anxiously for support, but knowing Gale, he won't give it to him when he's hurt a girl. Instead he says with equal intensity:

"Explain."

Rory gulps and starts to talk anxiously and nervous.

"My friends dared me to. They said that if I don't, then they'll hurt Prim."

Katniss scoffs, clenching and unclenching her fists. I reach for her hands, and pry them open, entwining them in my own. She looks up and offers me a smile. I eye Gale and he eyes narrowed at me. Not Rory. Me. He shoots me a look saying 'don't touch her.' I avert my attention to Rory and Prim. But I can't help feeling Gale's smoldering gray eyes are still on me and Katniss.

'Keep talking." She says, a little softer now that she has a feeling of what's happening.

"I had to. The said they would do.. things with Prim even my parents wouldn't do."

I feel anger bubbling up inside me at these so called 'friends' Rory had and the 'things' they would do to Prim.

"Who are these friends?" A new voice pops into the room. And it's Madge. She glides in taking Prim away from my grasp, and pulls her into an embrace. She nods, her blonde hair put in a ponytail bobbing up and down.

"Stan Mitchell, Crater Downey, and Justine Everhart." Gale's eyes widen, and Katniss jaw drops.

Justine Everhart? She's Jess' little sister.

Katniss and Gale shoot up, and I do too.

"Madge, can you stay here with prim and Rory? I think, I'm gonna have a little talk with Rory's 'friends" I say, a little anger rising in my voice. She smirks, and nods as I leave the room with Katniss and Gale.

It doesn't take long until we find the trio we're looking for. Katniss shoves her hands in her pockets and smirks. Gale glares at them, and I do the same. It's another minute before we approach them.

Oh joy. Katniss and Gale angry never look good. Except on Katniss of course. She's beautiful whatever emotions she's in.

"I understand you've been threatening Rory?" I say calmly. The trio look to each other frowning and smirking.

"Who cares about poor little Rory?" Justine says in a high pitch voice, resembling her sister. In fact she looks like her. She has eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara smudged all over her eyelids. Stan has a small build, almost small really. And Crater (Crater, really?) has a muscular build. He doesn't look exactly like he's agile. I wonder if he's the brother of Cato. Cato Downey is a boy who beat up an old friend of mine when he still went to our school. He got expelled for cheating on finals.

"We do." Katniss says in the deadly and dangerous voice I heard earlier. I look at the trio's face. They seem intimidated, but still won't back down. Gale crosses his arms and I do the same thing. Flanking Katniss who is now clenching and unclenching her fists.

"Look, I don't care who says what, but as long as we get the information we need, we'll all go back to our lives without a hitch." Katniss says. Stan and Crater look to each other amusedly.

"I thought the guys were supposed to protect the girl. Not the other way around." Justine says defiantly, smirking. I raise my eyebrows.

"We do what we need to when she doesn't work." I threaten. I'm not usually this mean, but they threatened Rory and Prim. And they need to learn a lesson.

"Just think of her like the appetizer." Gale says, and then instantly regrets his words when Stan says,

"I already do." This seems to drive Katniss over the edge, because she picks up Stan by the collar and says,

"You listen here. You tell me what I need, and I won't turn you three in and beat you until your purple mush." Stan stares back somewhere , looking past Katniss' threats andI turn around. Katniss puts Stan down when we see what we need to. Rory and Prim with two muscular boys behind them, covering thier movies, and ropes holding their hands. Katniss surges forward, but it's too late. She gets a hard blow to the neck and stomach and falls to the floor with a thud. Eyes closed, and body rigid and tense.
