Enjoy the story. Thanks for all the amazing reviews.
I do not own any of the characters, Suzanne Collins does.
Chapter 9
I cannot believe how weird the world is right now. First, two companies who practically hate each other are merging to form a movie. Second, I fall in love with daughter of the rival company, and vice versa. Lastly, Finnick is claiming that he likes his frenemy, Annie.
Let me tell you about Finnick and Annie's story. Five years ago, me and Finnick were both casted to be in this movie called Mermalandia. That's where we met Gloss and Annie. I thought that Finnick and Annie would be on the same terms with each other because they both like the water, but I beg to differ. Their first conversation was an argument. They were fighting because there was only one sparkling water left and both of them wanted to have it. The sparkling water ended up being spilled on the ground which became another argument of theirs. While they were arguing I became friends with Gloss.
"Hey there, I'm Gloss Hadler." He offers me his hand.
"I'm Peeta Mellark." I say as we shake hands. "So do you know these two?"
"I know the girl, but I'm just gonna pretend like I don't know her."
"Yeah me too. I know the boy; actually he's my best friend. Just don't tell that to others."
"Agreed." We say to each other. Even though Gloss was older than me by a few years, he was cool. He was down to earth like me and he's not like one of those famous celebrities whose head becomes big once they become famous.
It took 2 weeks and Gloss and me to make Finnick and Annie friends. Annie didn't know that I was friends with Finnick and Finnick didn't know that Gloss was friends with Annie. So Gloss and I made a plan. Gloss would become friends with Finnick and I would become friends with Annie.
Annie wasn't as bad as Finnick described her to be. She was actually so sweet. I was really surprised that Finnick and Annie didn't get along because Annie is like the girl version of Finnick.
The plan was that I'll invite Annie, Gloss and Finnick to my penthouse for dinner. Finnick doesn't know that Annie will come and so does Annie. We will leave Annie and Finnick in the pent house claiming that Gloss and I will buy ice cream. When we got back, we found Annie and Finnick sitting at both ends of my sofa.
"Guys you have gotta make up with each other." Gloss says
"I don't wanna be friends with someone who clearly has no manners. I mean what happened to ladies first?"
"Oh, I'm sorry your highness." Finnick exaggerates "I dodnt know that you we're the queen. Come on were in the 20th century."
"Guys, you're not here to fight. Now make up before I call Cato." I say and Finnick starts to tremble.
"Okay fine. I'm sorry Annie. I should have given you the sparkling water. I'm sorry. There are you happy now?" I nod at Finnick and look at Annie.
"I don't know who this Cato guy is, but still. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have forced it out of your hands. You were the one who got the bottle first. Im sorry."
"There we apologized, now please don't call Cato."
"Fine, I won't call him. You know I feel bad for him. I always use him as a threat." Cato is my cousin. He was in the army but he quit. So he's like my bodyguard. What they don't know is that Cato is really nice. He used to defend me against my mother when I was just a baby.
"So now can you be friends?" Gloss asks "Come on guys lets be the amazing group of friends everyone wants to be."
"Ok fine. Hi, Im Finnick." he extends his hand to Annie
"Hi, I'm Annie." And they shake hands.
"So you two have been fighting for two weeks and you don't know each other's name?" Gloss asks
"Well yeah. I didn't know her" Finnick says
"You two are weird. I think you're gonna be great friends."
Unfortunately Gloss was wrong. Both Finnick and Annie would fight over little things, but they made up instantly. That is why they became frenemies.
"Peeta, promise me you won't tell her." Finnick says.
"Are you freaking mental? Your frenemies! You fight over little things."
"Well, that's just it. When you told me about Katniss I kept picturing Annie in my mind. With her I always laugh, everything seems real when I'm with her." Finnick says. "Help me Peeta! How am I supposed to make her like me back."
"Try working on your manners. And stop being so cocky. Girls don't like cocky men."
"And where did you learn that?"
"Katniss told me you were too cocky."
Finnick gasps. "Why are you two talking about me?"
"That's none of your business. Anyway, how are you gonna tell this to Annie."
"I don't know. That's why you're here Peeta. I need your wisdom."
"Why me?"
"'Cause you're kind and all that. Everyone wants you Peeta." Finnick says "Now yeach me be you"
"I won't teach you to be me. Annie won't like that. Annie will like you for you, not me."
"Then how am I supposed to get her to like me?" Finnick whines
"Give it some time Finnick and just act naturally. Well except for the manners part, be a gentleman Finnick girls like that."
"Fine." He says "We better get some sleep. It's almost four in the morning."
"So? We won't need to get up til 10:00" Finnick just stares at me "What?"
"We're going to the gym Peeta. Who knows what film we'll be filming? We better get in shape. Come on look at me, the abs are fading away. Ugh, I shouldn't have eaten those Cheetos."
"Finnick your boby's fine."
"Go to sleep now bread boy. Good night" he says while walking to the door and waving.
"Good night Fishboy."
