After nearly 2 hours, Peeta and I have practised some moves we could do for our routine, we still need to pick a song though. We decided to get some food as it is around 6 o'clock. We have headed into the canteen and got our food. We are now just looking for a place to sit.
"Oh, I see a table, just over there." He points to a table in the back. We make our way over to the table a sit down. Peeta is sitting in front of me. I am about to start eating when Peeta says something to me. "Johanna teach you that?" I look at him confused. He points to my tray. "The food." I let out a little laugh.
"Oh, yeah. Yesterday she was practically picking my food." I say putting a chip in my mouth.
"I'm surprised she took to you so quickly. She's not much of a person to make friends." I look up at him.
"How come she wanted to be friends with me?" I ask him. He shrugs.
"I don't know. She properly saw something in you that made her want to be friends with you." Johanna is one strange girl. It is silence for nearly a minute before I say something to break it, which I hope is okay.
"So, if its okay to ask, how long have you been here?" Peeta looks up at me. I'm slightly worried that I shouldn't have asked him.
"About 2 years." He answers. 2 years?! "Since I was about 15. I was brought here after I went on mute." That's the same as me. " I had a really bad childhood. Something in that childhood caused me to go on mute. My mother didn't want to take care of me after that, so she sent me here." His own mother sent him here? I then think of something Johanna told me about him the day we met.
"Can I ask you something?" He nods as he has food in him mouth. "Johanna told me you are on of the most dangerous boys in the school. Why do people say that?" He leads back in his chair and lets out a sigh. He looks away from me like he is thinking of what to say. Just as he is about to answer someone cuts him off.
"Hey guys!" We look over to see Johanna, Finnick and Annie making their way over to us, their food on their trays.
"Hey Brainless where did you disappear of to?" Johanna asked me sitting down at the end of the table. Finnick takes a seat next to Peeta and Annie sits next to me.
"I just went to the music room." I said taking a bite out of my chicken.
"Me and Katniss have started to develop idea for the dance by the way." Peeta say to Johanna. She nods as she eats her food.
"How are you doing Peeta?" Annie asked him. Peeta looks up at her.
"I'm okay." Annie must have sensed that he didn't want to talk about what happened so she just carried on eating. We are left in silence for a couple of minutes, all of us digging into our dinner. I couldn't think of anything to say.
"Oh guys!" Johanna says, as if she has just remembered something. We all look up at her. "Party in my room tonight, who's in?" Finnick nods with a smile.
"Oh yeah I'm in!" He and Johanna high-five each other.
"Are we even allowed?" Annie asked with an unsure voice.
"Well I told the staff that we were going to be working on the dance, and they seemed fine with it, so yeah we're allowed!" Johanna seemed really excited about this. This was the most excited I had seen her since I met her.
"Okay that's good with me then." Annie says taking a bit of her chips.
"Peeta man, what about you?" Finnick asked Peeta, nudging him with his elbow. Peeta looked at him, unsure of what to do.
"Come on Peeta." Johanna says trying to persuade him. "We'll have a bit of fun, watch a couple of movies, maybe play truth or dare-" Peeta then cuts her off.
"I will come on the condition we don't play truth of dare." He say pointing a finger at her.
"Oh come on your just saying that after what happened last time." Johanna says with a smirk.
"What happened last time?" I asked Annie.
"Peeta-" She started to say but was cut of.
"Don't!" Peeta said in a warningly way. Annie did not continue and went back to eating her dinner. This I am defiantly not going to let go.
"So Katniss, you in?" Finnick asked. I look down, unsure of what to do. It would be a good opportunity to maybe get to know them better.
"I guess so. Okay."
"Perfect! My room in 30 minutes, and bring a pillow and covers." Johanna says standing up and walking out of the canteen, dumping her food in the bin. I don't long follower her, as does everyone else.
I walk into my room and close the door. I walk over to the drawers and open them. I take out some night trousers and a plain black top. I get unchanged of my clothes and changed into my night clothes. I put my day set of clothes and put them in the corner with my other set. I really need to ask where we wash our clothes. I grab my hoodie and put it back on. I look over to my clock to see that I have 5 minutes to spear. I start to grab my pillows and a cover and make my way out of the door. I walk down the corridor and come to Johanna's door. I knock twice and wait for an answer.
The door is opened by Johanna. "Hey Brainless, come on in." She walks away from the door. I walk in to find Peeta, Finnick and Annie have already arrived. I close the door behind me and make my way over to the bad, where they are sitting at. "Just plunk you stuff down on the floor." Johanna say pointing to a pile of covers and pillows sitting on the floor. I throw my stuff on there and sit on the edge of the bed.
"Katniss do you ever where anything but that hoodie?" Finnick asks me. I look at down at my hoodie.
"I feel more comfortable wearing it." I say quietly. Its true. I don't like to show of skin in public, so the hoodie keeps me covered and comfortable.
"Okay guys we have got a selection of movies." Johanna says walking over to her desk of drawers where a TV and DVD play sat. She opens on of the drawers and pulls out a couple of DVDs. She walks back over to us and sets the DVDs on the bed. "We have got either Divergent, Harry Potter, Mr and Mrs Smith or The Purge."
"Okay 'The Purge' is a no for me." Annie says pointing to the DVD.
"And I'm not much of a magic fan." Finnick say pointing to the next DVD.
"Well then, how about a bit of swearing and killing?" Johanna says holding up the 'Mr and Mrs Smith' DVD. We all agree on that movie. Johanna goes to set up the DVD while the rest of us make the bed on the floor. We put 2 covers on the floor for us to lie on and the pillows along the wall. I take a seat at the end of the bed. Peeta sitting next to me. Then Annie next to him, and Finnick next to her. Johanna take the other end of the bed. We all settled down and the movie started to play. We had only got through half of the movie when my eyes started to get heavy. Instead of staying awake I let my eyes fall.
"Hey Katniss wait up!" I look behind me to see Gale running up to me. I am on my way to my English class. "Did you write that essay?"
"You bed. 2000 words. Unlike some one I know." I mumble the last bit under my breath.
"Hey I wrote a lot too." Gale said defending himself.
"Oh yeah? How much?"
"Urr, 900." He admits. I laugh.
"Not even close to Katniss's." We turn around to see Prim standing behind us.
"Hey little duck. Where should you be?" I say to her walking over to her and kneeling down to her hight.
"Science, but I'm just going to use the bathroom." She say pointing behind her.
"Okay but be quick. I know how much you love science."
"Its not that I just love it, I am going to need it in the future to beco-" I cut her of.
"To become a doctor, I know. A what a great doctor you are going to be." I say to her putting my hands on her cheeks. She smile at me and I give her one in return. "Now hurry up. I need to get to my lesson to." She nods to me. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before standing up and walking over to Gale. We then carry on walking to our lesson.
We make it to English and take our seats. "Alright class. I hope you all have your essays. You have had a week to do them, so I am not going to take any excuses." I look around to see some of the kids with a worried expression. They're in trouble. "Okay, who wants to tell what theirs is about? Urr Katniss?" I look up at him. "You want to go first?" I shrug. "Okay lets hear it." He claps his hands together. And at that moment a gun shot went off.
I wake up from my nightmare, sitting up straight. I look around the room. Its pitch black. Even the TV isn't on. I start to shiver, feeling the coldness in the room. I lay back down and pull the covers over me more.
"Katniss?" I turn over to see Peeta is awake. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, just go back to sleep." I say to him turning over. My teeth start to chatter but I try and not make in noticeable.
"Are you cold?" He asked me.
"A little." I admit. I suddenly feel his hot breath on the back of my neck. He has moved closer to me. I feel is arm go around my waist to pull me closer. My first thought would be to move away from him, but I'm too cold to. I move my body more so I am full against him. I am already starting to feel warmer. My eyes begin to fall once again, bit I am afraid to fall back asleep. I try and stay away but I just can't and I let my eyes take my to my nightmares.
