This hour couldn't go by more slowly.

As soon as he began instructing us to paddle, he slowly began to wade us into doing the doggie paddle. It made me think back to when I learnt how to swim back in the lake at home. Dad didn't teach me this! The idea of this simplistic swim made me look practically like a beginner anyway, so it wasn't too difficult to look like a belonged in this class.

However what put the cherry on top of my cake was the fact that Finnick decided to try help me perfect this 'doggie paddle' and he put his hand on my bum and stomach! If I wasn't to busy trying to breathe I would've growled. The idea of hitting him where it hurts was so tempting, but seeing as he was standing on my side, I couldn't 'accidentally' hit him without making it look like an accident.

After a while I got the hang of it, so he was forced to help people who were more in need of his help. Including Clove, who looked like a cat who was getting a bath. I smirked and waded in the pool a bit, relaxing. I then turned myself into a starfish and held my breath so I'd float on the top of the water. Because my ears were underwater I didn't hear my name being called, and I found myself being lifted from the water. I gasped and my arms flew upwards.

"What the hell?!" I yelled, and saw that a laughing Finnick was holding me. "Let go on me, you ass."

"Hey, you were the one not listening when I said class was over."

I growled. "So will you let me go?"

I tried to wriggle out from his hold but he then proceeded to put me down on the side of the pool, and I huffed in frustration.

"You really don't know when to stop and let a crush go, do you?"

He laughed. "I wouldn't call it a crush..." He smirked and joked. "Just a mere, 'I want to get in your pants'."

"Well what can I say to that? Oh yeah. 'Fuck off'. Stay away from me, you jerk."

"You're the one coming to my lessons." he chuckled at me.

"Did I have a choice?"

"With these looks, no." he gestured to himself, then pulled out his 'guns'. I rolled my eyes.

I looked around and Clove and everyone else had gone to the changing rooms. I huffed, impatient.

"Please, you think so highly of yourself. All I see is a player who thinks he can get what he want. But see, I've learnt that looks aren't everything."

"Obviously, which is why you and my sister claimed you had a boyfriend, because obviously there had to be some reason for you to not go after me."

"Actually, I do have a boyfriend. His name is Gale. From 12."

"You're from 12?" He gasped, then huffed. "I wouldn't been seen with a girl from 12 any day, and quit it with the lies. Go get changed."

"Nice to know you're so judgemental about my district." I spat, and turned on my heel. I grabbed my towel and got changed in silence, and Clove gave me a questioning look.

"What happened to you? You look like you've been stung."

"Finnick found out I'm from 12, and acted as if I was like shit on his new shoes."

"Oh, well fuck.." Clove sighed, and grabbed my hand as we went to meet up with the girls. Glimmer could sense my unease as soon as I entered the room, and Clove told her what happened.

What surprised me was when Glimmer turned bright red and stormed out of the room. Johanna just laughed.

"I'm guessing she's gone to find Finnick."

"Great." I muttered then went to go for a shower, again. I needed to cool off, so sung as I showered. It's what I did best, so I hoped the girls didn't mind me singing.

When I got back I had a towel wrapped around myself and went back in our room to get a fresh change of clothes. Glimmer was back, slightly calmer.

"How did it go?"

"Well I dragged him here to give you a proper apology but you were singing in the shower so I let him go, for now. You sing like...really well, Katniss. Like, seriously."

I smirked. "Thanks. It's the best out of acting, dancing and singing."

"Singing can be improved, but your voice must've been amazing from the start, and has only gotten better." Clove beamed at me. "Finnick heard it and it looked like you had surprised him."

"Nice one, Kat." Johanna chuckled, then stood up. "I need some fresh grub, anyone coming?" I quickly got changed and we went off to the canteen, with my hair still wet.

Peeta came up to us during lunch and smiled at me. "Hey Katniss, I was just wondering if I could get your phone number?"

The girls were beaming and I shook my head, and then looked at Peeta. "Sorry, Peeta, I don't have a phone."

Peeta blinked, not expecting that answer from me. I guess this school didn't really get that many poor students. They only offer scholarships when they would benefit from it. District 12 haven't had a student go to this school that I know of.

"Er...not what I was expecting." He laughed. "Er...okay then."

"She's from 12." Johanna said, nodding. "It's unfortunate how she can't afford some things. She misses out, and you'd really miss out on talking to her, what a shame."

Peeta rubbed his neck, then laughed. "Well, you can always have one of my old ones. I get new ones quite often, and they go to waste otherwise. Want me to drop it off for you later? What is your room number?"

I gasped. "Are you serious? Peeta I really can't accept-" He put a finger on my lips, silencing me.

"I won't hear any more of it. It's yours." He grinned, then stood up and walked back to his table. I noticed that the table behind his had Finnick sitting with a couple of lads. Finnick saw it all. He didn't look too happy.

thank you so much for your reviews :) and one of the reviews I wanted to reply to, however they were a guest, so I may aswell reply here:

'You are a good writer but I personally think this story sucks. You should try making another story with other pairing. Katniss-Finnick is not ok. Katniss belongs with Peeta and Finnick with Annie, like seriously'

I appreciate your thoughts and I did wonder to myself whether I should just do a K&P pairing but then I thought to myself, that there are LOADS of that pairing, and I really wanted to to a K&F pairing, but planned on doing the traditional pairing on another story :) But thanks for your review, it did make me question my idea on the story :P but this story is probably going to stay with the same pairings :)

please review everyone, I love to hear what you think of the story! Do you think this would be better as a K&P pairing?
