It was a DARE

AN: IMPORTANT: Hi. Um, so I'm really really really sorry, I haven't wrote in a long time, and your feedback has constantly been amazing. I'm sorry for letting you down, but I'm back with another chapter, extra long, just for you! Also, I'm kind of running out of ideas for this story, so I would really appreciate it if you would give me some ideas, and if you're lucky your idea might feature in this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.

Chapter 9: Nothing's going to stop me


Jackie's POV:

Sitting in my room, I looked out the window, a single tear rolling down my face. I'd lost everything my friends, my crush and my dignity. I can't believe I let a boy come between me and my friends. Mates before Dates, Bros before Hoes, the whole spiel. Still I can't believe I let Glimmer tell me what to do, I guess I was caught up in all the drama that's happening, just angry and jealous. Still I can't believe I kissed Cato, more importantly I can't believe I did that to Clove. Jeez, it's like Glimmers influenced me, I was so mean to Annie as well. I feel horrible and so guilty, why did I let this happen? You know all those books where the girl likes the guy and they end up getting together, that was not me, I never got the guy. Taking out my phone I went onto Instagram, scrolling through everyone's photos, seeing my friends having fun without me, hurt, but I guess it was kind of my own fault. I kept scrolling though till I stumbled across one of Glimmer, Marvel kissing her cheek. It was captioned: "boyfriend". That hurt, the fact the guy I had let come between me and my friends and the catty with who told me to be mean to them are now together! Now I truly had no one. I was so angry and sad. I brought me knees up to my chest and squeezed them, sobbing my eyes out, Ugh everything bad had to happen to me.


Madge POV:

I entered my room, preparing to glare at Jackie (if she was in there). Gosh I can't believe what she's done. I opened the door and saw her sitting on the ledge looking out the window. Good, she didn't know I was here. I went over the wardrobe when I heard her crying and sniffling.

"Jackie, are you crying?" I asked. She turned her head, giving me a view of her tear stricken face.

"Go away Madge," she says softly. "I don't deserve your sympathy, let alone your friendship."

"Jackie, what are you talking about,"

"Madge, look I was mean and angry, I don't want to think about it anymore, just leave," She said. I stood there staring at her for a moment, I really should stop judging people, I thought, there we were think Jackie was the devil with no soul and here she is crying her eyes out.

"Jackie, whats wrong?"


Clove POV

Cato is a jerk, I really thought we had some sort of connection, I guess not. Anyway I'm not really in the mood for any kind of date with Alfie, so thats why I'm walking along the beach. The sea is gorgeous at night, i could just continue staring at it and forget about all the drama thats happening right now. I walk along the sand, smiling to myself. That's right, I'm going to forget about boys now, I'll be a strong independent woman, I thought.

"I'll be a strong independent woman," I say confidently. "Nothings going to stop me-" I say before walking into something very hard, knocking me down into the sand. "Except for that," I say, laughing to myself, stoping abruptly when I realised what I'd hit.

Cato.

"Whats this about, nothing being able to stop you?" he asked, smile on his face. I stood up.

"Well as a strong independent woman, I've declared that nothing will stop me," I say proudly.

"You've declared? Well then, I've declared that nothing is going to stop me from stopping you," He said

"I'm confused," I said and then suddenly he throws me over his shoulder and runs towards the ocean.

"Cato, PUT ME DOWN!" I scream, kicking and flailing my arms and he just laughs. He's knee deep in water when he asks:

"You want me to put you down?"

"NO! CATO YOU'D BETTER NOT PUT ME IN THE WATER," I threaten, and then he dumps me in the sea. "OH THATS IT" I say, he stands there laughing, so I leap at him dragging him under. "Now its funny," I say. He stands up and smiles.

"You did not just do that," he says smiling and I laugh. I jump on his back, and he tries to shake me off. I grip on tightly. He stops struggling and looks at me, we hold eye contact for a while.

"Get off," he says, furiously shaking and massive grin spread on his face.

"Never" I say, and then we're both laughing messes on the ocean floor.


Katniss POV

I'm just practising at the archery range, when I'm rudely interrupted by Delly.

"Hey Katniss," She says sweetly.

"Hi," I say flatly.

"I heard you missed your little date with Peeta last night, such a shame, he was rather upset. Good thing I was there," she said. "To take your place," she taunts while prodding me with her perfectly manicured finger nail. " Don't bother trying to win over his heart, I have him wrapped around my little finger," hearing her just made my blood boil.

"I wouldn't be too sure," I said, whilst loading my bow. "I'm very good at getting what I want" I say, before firing my bow, bursting the ballon target that I was aiming for. The balloon makes Delly jump slightly but she quickly regains her composure.

"Whatever," she says before flicking her hair and walking away.

"Jeez, urg she makes me so mad," I mumble to myself before firing yet another arrow and watching it pierce the ballon. "That bitch is going to pay,"


The Next Day.

I walked down to breakfast, only to find Delly feeding Peeta bits of his freshly baked blueberry muffin. Oh, so you want to play that game, huh Delly?

"Morning Katniss," Delly says cheerfully, waving at me. I narrow my eyes before putting on a smile and walking towards them.

"These muffins smell delicious, I can't wait to eat one," I say, smiling at Peeta. "Are we still on for tonight?" I ask him.

'Of course," Peeta replies.

"Great,"I say smiling, he smiles back. I turn to Delly smirking and she narrows her eyes, shooting daggers at me. Game on Delly, game on.
