Peeta's POV

I stand in front of the tall wooden door. I take a deep breath. I open the door and walk in to the building where my future wife is waiting..and 24 more girls wait..

I step inside and I here multiple conversations happening and laughter. Well at least no one has killed each other.

"Hey" I greet the girls bringing their attention to me. "It was very nice meeting you all tonight, Now I really wanna get to know you girls" I say adding a warm smile. Glimmer lifts her glass of wine in the air and starts to walk towards me. "

"If you all don't mind" She giggles then carries on "I would like to still little peety here away for a little bit and get to know him" She turns her head and smiles at me giving me a small wink making me feel uncomfortable.

She takes me by the hand and starts to lead me out. I search the room for a pair of gray eyes. My eyes lock with Katniss'. Blue on gray. She gives me a small smile and before I can return one Glimmer drags me out of the room.

We sit down on one of the couches outside.

"So Peeta" She starts "My names Gimmer if you don't remember from when we met..but you probably remember because I was the prettiest girl you saw." On the inside I roll my eyes but on the outside I fake chuckle.

"So Glimmer, What do you like to do, Interests, or hobbies?" I ask trying to have a real conversation.

"I really really like shopping with my friends and hanging out with my friends" She says excitedly and adds a huge smile.

Before I can respond I hear someone clear there throat I look up and see Johanna. She just smirks.

"Oh well..It was nice talking to you Glimmer" I fake a smile. Johanna takes me by the wrist and drags me around the corner. She sits down on the couch and I sit down next to her.

"I see you don't like Glitter over there" She chuckles

"Is it that obvious" I smirk. She just laughs.

"Kinda" I smile. She seems really cool and funny, But not my type "Look Peeta I know what your thinking" Johanna starts "You don't have to fall in love with me I'm just here for brainless, she said she would only come if I came"

I think for a minuet "Brainless?" I ask

"Oh uh that's Katniss"

"Oh nice" I chuckle

"Well if your here for Katniss then could you just wait here a second" I get up and walk to the room. I make my way over to the table. I grab a rose of of the table and I here a couple of gasps and whispers.

"Is he really giving one to Johanna?" Glimmer asks Clove

I just ignore her and I walk back to where I left Johanna.

She sees the rose in my hand

"Already falling for me I see" She jokes

"Well you said you were in this for Katniss and I'm planning on keeping her" I smile

"You really like her don't you" She asks

"She has no idea the effect she has"

"Wow that's cheesy" She teases

"Well Johanna, If I offer you this rose will you help me out with Katniss?" I ask

"Hmm" She thinks "I guess that will work"

"Okay Johanna will you accept this rose" I ask in a British accent.

"Of course" She also says in a British accent. We end up bursting out in to laughter. She would make a really good friend I think.

"Well I'll let you do you mingling, See ya pretty boy" She gets up and walks away swaying her hips.

"Hi" I hear a small voice. I turn around to find a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Ugh I forgot her name

"I am so sorry, but whats your name again"

"It's okay. My name is Madge" Oh now I remember.

"I remember now" I smile. We end up talking about how our families both love to fish. We connected on that. We laughed some and talked about other things. After a 5ish minuets I go and get a rose.

"You seem like a genuine girl, will you accept this rose?"

"Yes" She replies. After that we part ways and I chat with the other girls I give out a few more roses with girls I feel a connection with. One thing that worries me though is Katniss hasn't tried to talk to me. Maybe she doesn't want to come of desperate.

I walk back to the building and find Katniss talking to Madge, Johanna, and Annie.

I walk up to her

"Hi Katniss" I greet her. She looks up at me stopping her conversation.

"Oh Hi Peeta" She gives me a sweet smile

"Would you like to talk"

"Of course" I offer her my arm and she links hers through mine. I lead her outside to a bench by the pool. I sit down and she sits next to me. She shivers a bit and I can spot goose bumps on her arms.

"Here" I offer taking off my coat.

"No, no you don't have to" She say. I still take off my coat and wrap it around her. She gives me a small smile.

"Thanks"

"No Problem"

"So tell me about yourself Katniss"

"Well I'm 25, I have a little sister named Primrose but everyone calls her Prim shes 19, I love to read, I suck at cooking and I do archery." I smile on the last fact. A girl not scared of getting dirty.

"Archery huh?"

"Yeah" She whispers

"How did you learn that"

"Oh my dad taught me" She whispers and adverts her eyes to the ground. I quickly change the subject seeing that she's not comforable. I kept an extra rose in my pocket just for her.

"Katniss, will you please except this rose?" I ask

"I would be honored" I smile triumphantly.

I take her hand and lead her back into the building. Right when I step inside I hear the chatter start to die down. Glimmer glares at Katniss when she sees our interlocked hands and my coat wrapped around her shoulders. Katniss just blushes and takes the coat off and hands it to me.

Finnick walks in at that moment.

"Okay ladies the rest of the roses will be handed out at the rose ceremony tonight" He announces

The girls go back to chatting and I walk out of the room with Finnick. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. Its a nervous habit. I don't wanna send 5 poor girls home tonight. All I need is Katniss here though. I need to know more about her.
