It has been decided! The pairing will remain the same. The first part will be Katnick and then it will get into Kato later. c; Sorry for the ones who wanted to keep it Katniss/Finnick. At least you'll still have a few more chapters of them! Thank you for everyone who reviewed! See? Reviews are helpful and awesome. I'm currently in writer's block so this chapter will be in Finnick's high school years, secretly having a crush on Katniss.

Fun. Fact.

Haymitch is secretly gay...

Chapter 7- Secretly admiring her

Finnick-High'School-Crush on Katniss

He was sitting at the same table as them, Cato and Katniss. The couple across from him were talking and laughing at each other's jokes while Finnick just sat there, stealing a few glances once in a while. Was it wrong for him to be jealous at Cato? Cato had it all, the girls, the popularity, the swagger and now Katniss Everdeen.

It was the same thing everyday. Finnick was Cato's best friend so they hang put alot but everytime he goes to Cato's house, Katniss was always there and it made it that much harder not to be nervous. Over the time he had developed a crush on her. Everyday he would look at her out of the corner of his eyes. He would watch her walk home, despite risking being called a stalker. He just couldn't help himself. She was just so beautiful and every boy in the school agreed. She even made the girls like Glimmer jealous.

Can't you see her fire? She doesn't let anyone get to her and she doesn't let anyone treat her like dirt. She speaks with a cold attitude to anyone who isn't her friend and she doesn't play by the rules. Her personality is highly desirable to every boy because they think she is a tough cookie and you know how people like a challenge. But everytime they try to talk to her she always waves them off with a simple intimidating glare or scowl. It affects everyone but him.

During that same time period of his developing crush, Cato chooses to brake up with her and Finnick and her other friends had to step in to comfort her. Cato was no longer Finnick's best friend that day because he hurt Katniss. He hurt her bad after years of pretending to like her. That was not the Cato he knew.

-.-.-.-.-.-

It was the day of the the spring play in the 12th grade. Years after Cato has dumped her. They were doing a musical for something called the Hunger Games. It's about a group of teens ages 12-18 fighting to their death on live television. The story is in Jennifer's point of view, the main character who in the story volunteers for her little sister Willow so that she won't have to die in the arena.

Katniss had gotten the lucky part of Jennifer. Throughout the play, she was such an amazing actress, it was as if the whole thing was true. During some parts she sang a couple of lyrics from songs such as the Hanging Tree or the Valley Song.

Finnick's favorite part was when Katniss was singing to Rue who was playing the part of Amanda, the girl from District 11. She was singing Safe and Sound to Amanda while she died from the injury done to her abdomen.

"Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound"

Soon after she finished singing, she had Finnick mesmerized by her angelic voice. He was a goner, he was in love with Katniss Everdeen. It's not everyday he falls in love for a girl he barely knows.

And also, Cato is an idiot for ever letting Katniss go.

But no matter.

Because she will be his.

Katniss Everdeen will be his.

SHORT! And yes...Finnick fell in love when she sang...just like Peeta! Don't worry remember this is a Kato fic! Sorry for these stupid chapters.. I'm in writer's block! Sorry I rushed...so my spelling and grammer may be off.

-Love Finnick
