Ch 5
Katniss POV in Peeta's body.

I step out of the shower wrapping a towel around my, well not really mine but I guess for now it is, body. Which I know ridiculous but you know old habits die hard, I look at "myself" in the mirror and see the floppy mess of blond hair and start combing it and putting a little bit of styling product in it. I'm so glad I cut this hair I know Peeta is going to freak out because he always cuts it like a little school boy but I went drastic. I went to the barber shop Jo takes Gale and cut this hair in, I believe it's called Gentleman's hairstyle. It's short and buzzed on the sides and a bit long on the top and since Peeta's hair has a nice wave to it.

It looks really good, now slowly I start to feel like Katniss again, but fuck I had forgotten how handsome Peeta could be. When Jo rings the door bell it takes me out of my thoughts and it's for the better I don't like Peeta, I CAN'T like Peeta. We're from totally different worlds, guys like him don't hang around with girls like me. At one point in time we were friends, shit I would have said he was my best friend, but I guess time makes a fool out of us all. I hurriedly put on some blue jeans and rush down the stairs, shirt in hand, as Jo keeps ringing the doorbell.

I finally get downstairs and open the door "Fuck Jo! Didn't your mother ever teach you to ring a doorbell?"

"Yea she did but I didn't know what you were doing. So I decided to interrupt" she wiggles her eye brows at me.

"Oh fuck you Jo" I roll my eyes at her.

"Any night you want hot stuff" She turns to me and clings onto my arm batting her lashes at me.

"Get off me Jo. That's not funny" I get her off me and put on my shirt.

She just laughs and heads to the kitchen, opening up the fridge and cabinets. "By the way where are the Mellark's? It's dead in here besides you. Were you seriously alone the whole day?"

I just nod my head and hand her a sandwich, I had bought earlier. "Yeah it's a fucking crypt in here. No one is here... ever". I sit on a barstool next to her as I watch her start to eat in her very Johanna fashion, which is basically inhaling all her food.

"Jeez that's fucking depressing. No wonder that the jackass has all that free time." Jo finishes eating, or inhaling her food. "So what are you going to do now." She looks at me a bit worried.

I sigh and shrug my shoulders. "Well right now basically see if Peeta or my body is still alive. From there I have no idea what I'm going to do."

The door bell rings again and I look at Jo narrowing my eyes at her. "Who the hell is that Jo?"

She just smiles at me and says "Just the missing part of our trio."

I shove her shoulder and go open the door and see Gale there. My best friend who doesn't believe me, which to be honest kinda stings because not only is he my best friend but also my childhood friend. Jo believed me with just one conversation and some very very nasty cringe worthy proof that it's me. "Hello Gale won't you come in. Your girlfriend has already raided the cabinets and fridge."

"Yeah yeah whatever." Gale pushes past me and into the house but turns to me and looks at me with his stormy gray eyes that are so much like mine and just looks at me. "You might have Johanna fooled Mellark, but it's going to take a lot more than just some simple memories or words to convince me, everyone knows you have a silver tongue in the school." Gale turns back around and heads into the kitchen where Jo is and sits next to her.

"Okay now that the three of us are here what are we going to do?" I stand across from them.

Jo speaks up first. "Well we need to get into your house to see if the other one is alright, because if you freaked out that one is having a mental break down." Jo starts giggling a little bit.

All of a sudden Gale gives Jo a look and they have their secret couple conversation with out saying a fucking word!

Now I'm standing outside of my house getting the spare key from where we hide it and walking up to my room with Jo following closely behind me with Gale behind her.

I look over my shoulder and whisper to them "I just want to say I hate you guys. Both of you and your stupid secret fucking couple conversations. How in the hell did I get roped into going in front?!" I scratch my head out of habit, as we finally get to my room door, I take a deep breath and slowly open it.

When I walk in I don't know what to expect but I just know how much I've missed the smell of my room. The smell of old books, of old paper pages, and ink and a softy hint of perfume. I slowly look around and my eyes finally land on my bed and the lump on my bed, it looks like it's breathing, my knees almost give out under me, as my anxiety leaves me all at once in relief. I start to look around the room and see a big metal rod I have in my room that I was using for a project.

I whisper to Gale. "Gale can you please hand me that stick over there?"

Gale stands up a bit straighter and crosses his arms across his chest and speaks up. "Fuck you Mellark. I'm not your servant, I'm not Finnick."

"Fuck you too Hawthorne, plus you wouldn't make a very good servant anyways." All three of us turn to the sound of the person in the bed and then I see my body sitting up from the bed. Holy shit! This is trippy as hell. "What is this? Check on your enemy day?" Peeta slowly gets up and starts heading to the bathroom.

"Wait Peeta you-" I try to stop him from going in.

"Or what are you guys going to murder me? You're not doing a very good job." He goes into the bathroom closing the door behind him.

"Wait! Don't! " I try to stop him but I'm too late "Go in there" I finish my sentence but he's already in there. Then we hear a scream.

Peeta rushes out of the bathroom. Gently pulling on his hair and walking back and forth frantically. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!? AM I DREAMING? I CAN'T BE DREAMING I'M AWAKE BUT I'M IN KATNISS' BODY!" Peeta touches his chest "BOOBS! I HAVE BOOBS!" He slows down just a little bit and takes a breath, then he looks up at the three of us I'm holding out my hands ready to catch Peeta if he faints, my body doesn't need anymore bruises.

Peeta looks at me accusingly and marches over to us.

"You! Katniss! You did this! I don't know how but you did. You saw how good I have my life and you decided to do your voodoo magic and take it for your self." Peeta shouts at me.

"Me?! I didn't do shit Peeta! Do you think I would want to have your life? You're a fucking asshole! And there is no one ever around you! You are literally ALL ALONE! All you'll ever have is Madge and she's a fucking bitch!" I shout back at him.

As we argue back and forth on wondering who did it. We get really mad and Johanna comes to stand between us, but we don't notice Gale fainting until we hear that 'thump' of him hitting the floor.

"Oh shit Gale!" I rush over to where he is and I get a pillow putting it under his head. In a serious tone and focused on helping Gale I tell Jo. "Jo, my mom has a first-aid kit in her bathroom bring it over we have to wake him up."

Jo nods her head and rushes over to my mom's bathroom, Peeta doesn't move just watches me and what I'm doing.

"Is he okay? What happened?"

"I don't know Peeta, let's just hope I can wake him up." As I finish my sentence Jo comes rushing in and drops the first-aid kit next to me. "Hey Jo. Can you help Peeta get dressed?"

Jo just nods her head knowing what I was doing. Not only distracting her but getting Peeta out of the room. I hold a cloth with some alcohol up to Gale's nose and he slowly comes back, slowly opening his eyes, I smile at him letting out a second sigh of relief in less than an hour. "Holy shit Gale! Don't do that! If your going to pass out at least shout or something." I sit back leaning on my desk with my hand over my heart trying to calm down, Gale just stares at me and I look back at him. We stay like that for a good minute, then I see like a switch get flipped in his mind as Gale puts everything together.

"Catnip? Is that you?" Gale asks me trying to confirm what he just realized. With an utter look of confusion on his face.

I can't help myself and I toss my head back and start laughing a deep joy filled laugh. I haven't laughed like this in years, but something about Gale's expression. Broke me like a dam and I just couldn't hold back and stop laughing. By the time Jo and Peeta came back Gale and I were laying on the floor our laughter dying down, wiping the tears off our faces.

"Are you guys okay? What happened?" Johanna comes in a bit scared.

"Yeah were good." I say standing up and holding out my hand to Gale. He grabs it and stands, but I see he's still a bit wobbly so I sit him down on a love seat I have in my room. Jo right away sits down next to him I go sit on the floor while Peeta sits on the bed. It feels like old times and I smile to myself, Jo looks at me and smiles with me knowing what I'm thinking.

It's because before Peeta became who he is. This popular,nerdy, asshole guy. He was one of us, he was a misfit, an outsider. Sure we didn't get along when I first moved here but slowly he became my friend... and later on more than that.

"You okay there brainless?" Jo brings me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah I'm fine, just thinking here." I shrug my shoulders

"Well that's new. You thinking? I thought you never used that thing in your head you call a brain." Peeta says from my bed and he starts looking around. " Hey Misfit, do you even read all the books you have in here? I know for sure you read your comic books because that's more your reading level."

Peeta picks up a college level human anatomy book that I had gotten from my mom to write my report, but never gave back. "This is some advanced stuff here and you have a lot of mythology books. So do you actually read them? Or do you use them to kill flies?" Peeta taunts me and it pisses me off.

"Don't call me that." I stand up and grab the book from his hands not caring about his protests. "You know what Peeta.." the words die in my mouth as I see the cover of the book I see a girl with red hair.

I some what remember something before I passed out that night. "Guys guys! Before passing out I remember talking to this girl, with red hair, small nose, small face and was wearing a type I hood. Fuck! I can't remember her name or what she told me." I glare at Jo and Gale. " I will repeat this again. I hate you both and I'm never drinking again."

"Well for the time being we still have to keep up appearances. I'll still come pick up 'Katniss'" Gale makes air quotes when he says my name. "and you have to drive to school" Gale looks at me a bit worried. "Are you going to be okay with that?"

I nod my head a bit shaken. "Y-yeah I'll be okay with that."
