CH10 – Back Seat
Peeta POV
We were all kneeling down around the computer, besides Finnick and Annie who were already sitting in their seats. I was right next to Katniss. She was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a black half top that showed off her boobs and revealed her stomach. I have to say… it was hard to keep my eyes on the computer screen! We were fighting between which movies to watch. Me and gale were saying hot tub time machine but Johanna and Katniss wanted to watch dear john. I swear that movie is hell on earth for guys. After a while I give up on arguing and let Gale sort it out with Katniss and Johanna. I was just kneeling there silently, watching Katniss who was facing Johanna on the other side of her and Gale who was kneeling behind them. Every now and again my gaze would drop slightly and I would get a glimpse of her boobs. This is fucking torture!
After 10 minutes of arguing, they finally decided on '21 Jump Street' because it has Channing Tatum in it; for the girls and it was funny; for the boys. We all got up from the computer after Katniss pressed play to go get our seats. Gale and Johanna slid into the second row beside Finnick and Annie, who were sitting really close together. I mentally laughed at the fact that Finnick was making a move on Annie. There was only one seat left in the second row which means that either me or Katniss is going to have to sit by ourselves.
"You can have that seat, ill sit behind you guys" Katniss says, already sliding into the third row.
"You aren't going to sit by yourself! Here I'll sit with you" I say and slide down into the seat beside her, smiling. Even though we had dimmed the lights, so the room was dark, I could still see her blush. Everyone in the row in front of us was staring at us.
"What? I wasn't going to let her sit alone!" I say to them, slightly irritated. The movie starts playing and the music booms through the surround-sound speakers. I love this movie, it's so funny. I open up a packet of chips that I had and start to eat them. Katniss' phone rings and everyone turns around and glares at her. She slips it out of the pocket of her shorts.
"sorry guys, its my sister" she whispers, while lowering the volume of her phone. She texts on her phone for 20 minutes and then shuts it off and she glances at me and smiles. It pull out my phone and check the time, it's 7:30pm. I jump out of my seat and walk down to the front and grab a blanket and 2 pillows out of the baskets and walk back up to my seat next to Katniss.
"here" I whisper, handing her one of the pillows. 'thankyou' she mouths and I wink sitting back down in my seat and laying the blanket over me. I take a sip of my coke and put it back onto the armrest.
"how old is your sister?" I ask Katniss, getting bored of the movie now.
"she's 11, her names Primrose but we just call her Prim" she says, turning to look at me. The scene where Channing Tatum gets into a fight at a party comes on and Johanna and Annie begin screaming, Katniss joins in and I laugh.
"If I got into a fight like that would you scream for me?" I joke, making them laugh. "Does your sister go to Panem primary?" I ask Katniss quietly. She nods. We all know about Katniss' family, the whole school does. Her dad died and then her mum went into depression and now she is caring for Prim all by herself. I shift my weight in my seat and pull up the armrest in between Katniss and me, creating more room. Katniss shifts towards me slightly.
"so what about you, what school does you dick of a brother go to?" She asks casually. I laugh and look down to my lap.
"yeah, well he goes to Panem high with us, he is just the year below us" I explain. "I also have an older brother called Graham, he's going to college now" I say.
"mmm hmm" Katniss says and it sounds like she is tired.
"are you cold?" I ask. Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes.
"Yeah a little" She whispers back. YES!
"Here, come here" I say moving a little closer to her. She moves into my side and rests her head on my shoulder and I wrap the blanket around her. "Better?" I ask. She nods and smiles.
"so… how do you like your coffee" I say, mimicking her voice. She laughs and then punches my arm softly.
"shutup" she says, looking up to me from the screen. Our eyes lock and she smiles. Slowly we begin to lean into each other. I'm actually going to kiss Katniss! Holy shit. I raise my hand to cup her face but before I can she pulls away, quickly jumping up.
"um… im going to go, guys. I'll see you later" she says grabbing her food and sliding out of the row of chairs.
"don't go, brainless! The good part is about to come one!" Johanna shouts, Katniss freezes and turns around on her heels, looking at the group. Her eyes flicker to me and then back to everyone else.
"I… um… it's 7:50, dinner is about to be served and im hungry… so ill talk to you guys later" she says, putting on a fake smile then turning around and walking out the double doors. I sigh. I just fucked things up.
"What was that all about?" Gale says, one eyebrow raised. I shrug and begin to eat my popcorn and staring at the screen tensely. I seriously just fucked everything up but she was going to kiss me as well so why did she just leave? My phone rings and I slip it out of my pocket. It's a text from my brother
Rye: how is ur trip going?
I begin to type on my phone, my eyes flicking up to the screen every now and then.
Me: shit, now go away.
Rye: oh, whats wrong big bro?
I know that he is being sarcastic so I just shut off my phone and slip it into my back pocket. I really want to get out of here; this movie is beginning to piss me off. I stand up quietly, my legs aching from sitting so long and slip out the double doors. Where the hell am I meant to go now? I wander around the camp site, meaninglessly. Passing groups of people, talking and laughing. I end up sitting on a day bed, with heaps of pillows and a blanket. It looks out over the beach, the waves crashing softly and the moon shinning down onto the water, making ever-changing patterns.
The movie would of finished by now and everyone would be wondering where the hell I went. I don't care, I don't feel like talking at the moment.
Camp curfew is 10pm and right now it is 9:45pm so I'm going to have to head back soon. I pull out my phone and text Finnick.
Me: where are you?
I place my phone down on the day bed next to me and rub my face with my hands. It's a few moments before Finnick replies.
Finnick: Johanna, Gale, Annie and me r sitting on that couch that we were at earlier. Where the fuck did u disappear 2? And what happed with Katniss?
Explanations. I really don't want to explain to him. I begin to text, thinking of a lie to tell him.
Me: the movie got boring. I'm at the beach playing on my phone. I don't know why Katniss left. I'll meet u guys at the couches.
It isn't the best lie I have come up with… but I really couldn't think at the moment. I stand up, sliding the phone back into my pockets and begin to walk back to the camp grounds.
"hey guys" I say as I walk up to the group from behind. They turn around and smile, Katniss still isn't here.
"where did you go, bread boy?" Johanna asks
"bread boy?" I ask, questioningly
"you work at the bakery…" she says trailing off. Well I guess I have a new nickname. "so where did you go?" she pushes
"to the beach" I reply, sitting down next to Finnick. We sit in an awkward silence for a while until Gale speaks up.
"so we were thinking about hitting the beach tomorrow, seeing some girls" he says smirking at Finnick. "Johanna said she will tell Katniss" He says. The awkward silence creeps in again. We sit there, staring at each other, willing for someone to speak up. Finnick's phone rings and he pulls it out and swipes it open.
"its Katniss" he says, his eyes paired on the screen of the phone. He reads the message and then starts typing on it, sending a text back I assume. Once he is finished he throws the phone at me and I catch it with ease and read the text.
