Sorry for not updating yesterday so I would do it Today.
"So, wanna go shopping? For the prom," Annie suggests.
Clove and I glance at each other. Clove nods and smiles a little. Annie looks at me, expecting me to say 'yes' or nod. I don't. First, I am going to find out why Finnick was here.
"I'm not going to the prom," I respond. Annie looks at me in shock. Clove just sits there and looks at me expecting an explanation.
"I am not the kind of girl that goes to proms. Or likes to party. And anyways I'm not really into shopping and getting a manicure and getting my hair done and...I'm just focused on school," I explain. In face, that's just an excuse. If I go to the prom, I'll probably just sit there and watch people dance wildly.
"Come on, I can pick your outfit. Like yesterday. You looked great," Annie argues as she sits by me.
"Umm...Am I missing anything? Looked great? For what?," Clove asks with an expecting glance. Clove is Glimmer's friend. Glimmer's boyfriend or ex-bofriend is Peeta. If Glimmer hates me, Clove would hate me. I glare at Annie's frown for not making sense of it.
"Nothing. Just a hang-out with friends," I respond a little too quickly. Clove looks at me suspiciously. I bite the inside of my cheek.
"You know, Everdeen you're such a terrible liar," Clove responds and smiles. "If I didn't know any better I could tell you may have been flirting with boys,".
"Ok, I went to a party with my friend, Madge. Outside," I lied again, hopefully this time she doesn't notice I'm lying.
"If you say so, Katniss," Clove sighs and walks out of the room with Annie.
That was close, I thought. I walk out of my dorm with the slip of paper Finnick gave me the first day. Better go find out what happened in between Annie and Finnick. Annie is nice but who knows how she would react. I would ask Finnick, if it isn't the right thing to bring bad memories to Annie. I'm really bad at making people feel better.
MEANWHILE WITH ANNIE AND CLOVE...
Annie's POV
"Do you think she's hiding something?," Clove asks me as we arrive to one of my favorite boutiques. It's totally in my style. Plus they have my favorite kind of dresses from Kelly Springs.
"Oh, what?," I ask again. I don't want Katniss to know I told Clove. Plus, it's Katniss's decision, not mine.
"Ugh...Nevermind," Clove rolls her eyes.
We walk through the rows filled with dresses, jeans, and blouses.
I run towards the dresses that have a fluffy skirt. This year, I want to appear in something different than what I am used to with just plain dresses. Clove follows behind me. Apparently, she is talking to some blond-haired guy with blue eyes. Not Peeta.
Clove pushes him out of her way and runs towards me.
"Who's that?," I ask. I glare at the guy. He must be trying to get Clove in his bed. Many of us girls have been surrounded by horny men who want us to sleep with them. And not just sleep with them but to give them everything. Totally something I would never do.
"A guy named Cato. Just walked up to me and started talking shit," Clove sais as she glares at him. No doubt he has a sick pack with his white and very tight shirt that show off his muscles. He apparently takes notice of me glaring at him and leaves.
"What kind of shit?," I ask her.
Her eyes go wide.
"He talked about you, him, bed,se-,"
"NO!," she yells blushing a hot pink color. I laugh. When does Clove blush?
"Shut up. And anyways he was asking me out," Clove responds with a blush.
"He's checking you out," I laugh once again.
"Shut up, and anyways we came here to shop," Clove places her ponytail to the side and pretends to be so interested in shopping. I smile. She's never insterested in shopping.
I make sure to find a dress for Katniss. As for her surprise for the prom, she may never be expecting it.
I laugh at that idea.
BACK TO KATNISS POV
I literally knock on the door until my knuckles turn red and sore.
Instantly, a shirtless Peeta opens the door when I was about to knock again and again. I punch him in the jaw. Oh no!
"What was that for?," he harshly whispers as he places his hand on his jaw.
"Oops...Sorry, I was knocking. And is Finnick here?," I ask.
"Well, he isn't here. He must be out somewhere. Prob-,"
I am surprised by what I just did. I shoved Peeta and find no one. I quickly search in the messy closet and open the bathroom door.
"Katniss! Don't go in there!," Peeta half yells, half whispers.
AHA! Finnick must be hiding in here! I smile and frown. I open the door to find a naked Finnick walking out of th shower with no towel. Totally naked. I flinch and I run out of the bathroom to fall into Peeta's bare arms before I tripped.
Finnick. Naked. No towel. Just naked.
My eyes grow wide with what I just saw. Of course he has muscles and he is fit...but that's not all. Oh my. I can't make sense of it. I barely notice I'm in Peeta's arms by the shock.
Finnick walks out with jeans on but no shirt.
"Like what you saw?," he asks with a big smile. I stare at him in shock. I don't dare reply.
What was I here for? Oh, yeah, Annie.
I shake my head violently and I stand a bit taller and walk out of Peeta's arms to find myself face to face with Finnick.
"What happened in between you and Annie, Finnick? Why were you in my dorm, Finnick? Why?," Although he's a foot taller than me, I don't find myself intimidated.
"It's going to be a long story so some oth-,"
"I have time," I smile remembering saying the same thing to Clove.
"Ok, so it all started when I was in 1st-,"
"I already know that but...What happened that made you two break-up?," I ask suspiciously. I am ready to jump towards him if he cheated on her.
"Well, why won't you ask your boyfriend Petey here?," I almost blush but prevent it from showing. He grins.
"He's not my boyfriend. In fact, I would like to punch you right now. May you please tell me before I forget that I am human and act as a wild coyote?," I glare at him.
He sighs as he removes his famous grin into a frown.
"Well, there was this Halloween prom on a Friday. Err...I went to get me and Annie drinks and I found a blonde, tall girl named Holly and she told me she surfs too. We were planning on a surfing competition to see who was better. This happened when we were in tenth grade. "
"So, we went to the beach the next day, on Saturday. She was wearing her bikini and she walked towards me to get her board. After that, we surfed and she accidentally fell from her board and I started to worry so I dived into the water and got her from underwater. She smiled and she kissed me in the cheek and then she kissed me...on the lips...and for a moment I though of Annie so I kissed her back,"
"And on Monday these pictures appeared of me and Holly kissing. One was real and the other was photoshopped. Annie slapped Holly and Holly didn't know how to fight. So we all know what happened after that. Annie couldn't stop crying because Holly used to be her best friend. And I was her boyfriend. So, Annie came into my dorm and had a break-down. And then she...she...slapped me and broke up with me...and proclaimed that I was probably just a middle school crush and nothing more,"
"Then, earlier this month, she started dating Sam. And Sam is a player so I'm trying to warn her but she won't listen and that's why I was in her dorm," Finnick finished. I feel like punching him for kissing her back. I want to slap him. I want to...to...get them back together.
Once he finishes, I walk out of the room before I would do anything crazy
DONE! Next chapter about school and prom...can't wait
