Previously:
"I knew it," he murmmered. Just as their lips almost touched, Katniss hopped up off of Finnick and went to the instructor, giggling at the confused look on his face.
"I knew it," Katniss mocked him, grinning some more.
Finnick watches as Katniss walks off to the trainer, leaving him with his lips puckered in the air.
Katniss laughs at Finnick. Then after a few moments, she looks down at her schedule again.
Archery - with Haymitch A. for two hours
Swimming - with Annie C. for one hour
Hand to Hand Combat - with Enobria D. for one hour
Plant Discovering - with Plutarch H. for one hour
Survival Skills - with Seneca Crane for two hours
Knifes and Swords - with Brutus for two hours
"Class dismissed," The instructor, Enobria, yelled, bringing Katniss out of thought. Finnick got back up from where he was laying, recovered from rejection. He looked at Katniss and wagged his eyebrows.
"I can't imagine how hard that must have been for you to pull away from all this," He gestures to his body dramatically.
"Oh yes Finnick, please give me another chance to kiss, you, I'm just dying," Katniss fake begs.
"You know you don't have to ask me, sweety," Finnick teases back. Katniss scoffs at him.
"So what do you have for your first class? I already know we both have all of our other classes together," Katniss says, waiting for his reply.
"Well I have a rope class. All we do is tie knots. But despite the sound of it, it's pretty time consuming and helps you forget." Finnick says, his voice almost in a whisper. Katniss nods in understanding, not wanting to push Finnick to open up to her. If he wants to tell her, he will.
"Okay well what do you think of me changing my class to that?" Katniss asked, slightly fumbling on her words.
"I'd love that actually, no one I know is there. Well actually, hardly anyone is there. What are you changing from?" Finnick asks curiously.
"Archery," Katniss grins.
"You do Archery? The Katniss Everdeen does archery? You must not be very good at it." Finnick says playfully, trying to get a rise out of her.
"Actually, Finnick I have tons of practice. Been doing it since I was little," Katniss's eyes flash dangerously at the memories threatening to come back up. Luckily, Finnick doesn't notice it and he questions further.
"Well then, why would you want to change?" He asks, looking up ahead to find their next class, Plant Discovering.
"I don't know, the class doesn't really hold any challenge for me. All they have you doing is shooting arrows at a plastic plate. Even the bows are plastic, that's how cheap they are," Katniss scoffs, crossing her arms over her chest. Finnick looks at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Well, I guess if you're so good at archery, then you'll have to show me what you got," Finnick winked at her, changing the subject.
"You're such a big pervert," Katniss laughed, punching his arm. Finnick laughed, punching her back softly.
"You're the one with the dirty mind miss Everdeen," He chuckled.
"And how is that?" Katniss asked, looking over to him.
"You would know," He winked, saundering over to their next class.
"Hey Katniss!" Someone from the class right beside them calls out.
"Who called my name?" Katniss asks as she turns around to the group, searching for the voice. And for some reason the voice was so familiar.
"Me, Katniss! Gale!" Gale calls out, waving his hands frantically, but when he sees Finnick standing so close to Katniss his grin drops and a frown comes across his face.
"Hey Gale," Katniss waves him off, smiling, then turns back to FInnick, obviously missing his frown.
"Okay so which plant station should we go to first?" Katniss asked him. After a few minutes of trying to get Finnick to respond, she notices him glaring over her shoulder. She looks back towards the direction he is glaring and sees Gale standing their, the same expression on his face.
"Finnick?" Katniss asked, touching his arm and bringing him successfully out of his gaze. But that brings Gale storming over to Finnick, removing Katniss's hand by slinging it back down to her side.
"What are you doing with this Katniss?" Gale asked her, his glare turning towards Katniss.
"What do you mean Gale? He's my friend!" Katniss said. She smacks Gale upside the face so hard as soon as her hand leaves his cheek there is a red mark shaped like her hand imprinted there.
"You can't be friends with him!" Gale said, holding his hands to his stinging cheek, shocked at her actions.
"I can be friends with whoever the hell I please you ass!" Katniss yelled back, punching the other side of his face. This throws Gale into Finnick and Finnick takes a hold of his shoulders.
"Katniss," Gale seethes, looking up to Katniss, his eyes full of rage.
He shakes Finnick hands off of his shoulders stalking back over to Katniss when he raises his hand above her, preparing to hit her. Katniss's eyes widen at the action and because of her shock, Katniss was frozen in place.
This is the real Gale?
Then just as the hand about hit her, something tackles Gale to the ground. Katniss turns to the two boys fighting, not frozen anymore.
Finnick.
The two boys are on the ground rolling around and throwing punches until they hear the other cry out.
"Finnick!" Katniss shrieks, running over to the boys. Right now, Glae was ontop of Finnick, throwing punches into his face.
With not a thought to it, Katniss runs over to Gale hops on his back and slings her fist over to his face, cracking his jaw bone.
"Ahh!" Gale roars, slinging Katniss over his back, climbing ontop of her and raised his fist.
"Katniss run!" Finnick yells, just as he tackles Gale off of her, and back to the ground.
"Finnick! You were supposed to run! I can handle this!" Katniss asked, throwing herself back on Gale.
"Get!" Katniss yells at Finnick, holding her small pocket-knife to Gales throat. That immediately still him.
"Katniss don't get yourself hurt," Gale says, slowly reaching up towards the knife held against him.
"Gale, you're gonna just get yourself hurt. I'll let you go but if you move you hand any further than it is, you'll regret it." Katniss told Gale. He froze completely.
"You wouldn't," He said.
"Oh, but Gale, you know I would." Katniss said a smirk on her face. But in truth, Katniss knew she couldn't. The thought of actually killing someone made her sick to her stomach. Unless of course it was the person going to hurt her Prim. And it wouldn't bother her if it was Glimmer and Cashmere.
"Fine," Gales growls, spitting blood onto the gound. Katniss slowly moves the knife from Gales neck, pushing him to the ground with her feet and over-powering him instantly.
"And don't mess with Finnick," Katniss warned, shoving off his back to get up and stomping over to Finnick.
"And you," Katniss growled. She pointed her finger into Finnicks chest.
"Kat-" Finnick got cut off.
"Finnick you could have gotten seriously hurt. You know you didn't have to help, me, I can take a hit." She said angrily.
"But Katniss, I couldn't just let him-" Katniss cut him off again, still waving her hands around angrily.
"No, no, no, no, no, do not say that! I am still alive for a reason!" She shouts, but widens her eyes as she realizes what she had just said. Finnick's eyebrows scrunch together in confusion but Katniss gives him a look that clearly says she won't talk about it now.
"Later," Finnick says quietly, slipping his hand into hers and running off to the first plant stage he sees.
"Thank you," Katniss mumbles, looking away from Finnick as she says it, a deep blush threatening to cover her face. Finnick smiles a little, putting a hand on her back and scooting her closer to him.
"Don't worry about it," Finnick said. Blood was still coming from his nose but for the most part it slowed down. Right above his eyebrow was a cut and his jaw was bruised.
Just noticing how hurt Finnick probably was, she cradled his head in her hands, babying him for a moment before realizing what she was doing. Quickly she pulls her hands away from his face, blushing but seemingly can't look away from his eyes.
And it stayed like that, both of them staring at eachother. Finnick was waiting for Katniss to do something and Katniss and waiting for Finnick to do something when a girl came up behind the two.
"Hi there!" A girl squeals hugging both Katniss and Finnick. "My name is Annie!" She says excitedly.
Katniss stares blankly at her for a moment.
"I'm Finnick," He says, snapping out of it before KAtniss and extending his hand to the girl giving her a heart-warming grin. A shot of jealousy rushes through Katniss.
He should be smiling at me, Katniss thinks to herself but then freezes when she realizes what she said. No he can smile at whoever he wants, we are just friends Katniss agrues with herself but telling herself that made her insides twist even more.
Giving up on it, Katniss looks away awkwardly and mumbles a,
"Hey, I'm Katniss." Then she goes to one of the stations by herself.
What am I thinking? I mean, I only just met this guy and now I want to be the reason he smiles? What's wrong with me?
While having the internal battle she was Katniss didn't notice a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walk up behind her. A boy she knew all too well.
Finnick's POV
"Hi there! My name is Annie!" A girl from what seems like so far a way calls out. Finnick stares into Katniss's eyes for what seems like hours but for a couple seconds before she pulls her gaze away. This immediately brings Finnick back to reality. He turns into the direction Katniss was looking and sticks out his hand.
"I'm Finnick," He answers the girl, forcing a grin on his face to the girl that interupted their little moment.
The girl takes his hand and shakes it as bubbly as ever.
"Hey I'm Katniss," Finnick hardly hears her before she basically sprints to one of the stations by herself. He looks after her until he disappears from his sights and the girl next to him won't be quiet.
Finnick walks over a little ways, just so he could regain sight of Katniss. When he does he notices the girl is still talking to him but a boy is next to Katniss, talking to her. And he's standing a little do close for Finnicks comfort. Finnick turns to the girl.
"Do you know the guy right there with the blonde hair talking to Katniss?" Finnick asks hurridly.
Annie takes a moment to look for Katniss and when she spots the guy with blode hair talking to her, she nods slowly, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
"Who is he? "finnick asks, looking back over to Katniss and the guy interacting.
"That's Peeta," She mumbles staring after him with a familiar look on her face. Finnick knows he sees it all the time, he just can't remember where. Shaking his head of any thought, he walks over to Katniss, jealously attacking his body in hurtful ways.
Katniss's POV
"Hi," Katniss hears his voice for the first time in a while.
"Hey," Katniss answers back.
"I don't know if you know me or not but my name is Peeta," He says, sticking out his hand. Katniss gives him one of her rare smiles, nodding. Of course she knew him.
"I'm-" She get's cut off.
"Katniss," Peeta finishes for her, grinning.
"Yeah," Katniss breathes out.
Suddenly Peeta's face turns serious.
"Hey I know we just met and everything but can I ask you for a favor?" He asks her, blushing and looking down to the floor.
"Sure," Katniss tells him. He looks back at her with a shy grin.
"Well you know the Annie girl you were talking to?" He asked her, looking back down to the ground and rubbing the top of his foot into the dirt to busy himself.
"Yeah," Katniss said, starting to grin herself, knowing where this was going.
"Well if you can, could you help me get her to like me? Possibly?" Peeta asked, not once looking up from the ground at her but she could still see the blush covering his face as he fumbled around for words.
"If you don't want to that's fine I was just asking-" This time Katniss cuts him off.
"I'd love to help but I have to find something out first, then I will tell you wether I can or not." Katniss said thinking back to the smile Finnick gave Annie. Maybe Finnick likes her. Katniss couldn't just go and hook Peeta and Annie up if Finnick liked her.
"Hey Katniss," Speak of the devil there he was, standing next to her with a grin that sort of looked forced. And there was Annie, looking at Peeta with a fond expression. Maybe if Finnick didn't like Annie, it wouldn't be too much of a problem getting her to fess up some feelings, Katniss mentally smirked at herself.
"Hey Finnick, can I talk with you for a moment in private?" Katniss asked looking around for an empty station. She found one and dragged him over to it.
"Hey do you like Annie?" Katniss asked. Finnicks eyes widened considerably, shaking his head vigorously.
Katniss internally sighed, the stabbing in her gut calming down at his answer.
"No, why?" Finnick asked, lookign at her curiously.
"Just needed to know cause I'm about to go play match maker," Katniss smirked grabbing Finnicks arm and pulling him back over to Annie and Peeta.
"Hey Annie why don't you some over with me to this station, it's for two people and Finnick is slow at this kinda thing," Katniss tells her, nodding over to the station that only fits two people.
Annie nods enthusiastically at Katniss, walking over to the station with her.
"I love this kind of thing. Almost as much as I love swimming!" Annie says skipping to their destination.
"That's pretty cool. You know I was wondering, do you... like Peeta?" Katniss drawls out the question and looks over to Annie.
"Hmm well you promise you won't tell anyone?" Annie says, smiling widely.
"I promise I won't tell another soul," Katniss said, crossing her heart for Annie to see. Annie nods.
"Okay I love Peeta. He's the most kindest, gentlest, nicest, caring, most handsome, and loving person ever to walk this earth." Annie says dreamily.
Finnick is all of that and more, Katniss can't help but think to herself.
"Why has he said anything about me?" Annie stares at Katniss innocently.
"Promise you won't tell anyone?" Katniss asks, mimicking Annie from earlier.
"I promise I won't tell another soul," Annie says back, smiling at her cause she mimicked her back.
"Peeta really likes you too," Katniss whispers. Annie shrieks and covers her mouth, jumping up and down as she shows how excited and happy she is by jumping up and down.
"Yay! I can't believ it I am so happy!" Annie says, still jumping up and down. Katniss calms her down and grins at her. Aniie stops for a moment to look up at Katniss.
"What will he do?" Annie asks her, finally calming down enough to stop jumping.
"Well he might ask you out," Katniss grins at her and Annie squeals again.
"Yes!" She says, grinnign from ear to ear. "Can you make sure he does? For me?" Annie begs, looking at her with her watery blue eyes.
"Of course," KAtniss smiles and then they complete their class.
Immediately after they complete the class, Finnick finds Katniss and they walk to their next class.
"So mind explaining to me what is going on between Annie and Peeta?" Finnick asks her teasingly, tickling her side.
"Okay so they both like eachother and they asked me to make sure they end up together. And I love this sort of things. It always makes people happy so I told them I was up for it," Katniss says as she grins down at the grass. She feels Finnicks gaze on her but she keeps her head down, watching her feet move up, one after the other.
Now if only I could find someone to find out wether Kattniss likes me or not, Finnick thinks to himself but them comes up with a name.
Annie.
Of course, he will find out eventually and he will woo his beloved Girl on Fire.
