The next day during drama, class was awkward. I wasn't on speaking terms with Clove after her gossiping spree and because she was already sat in her usual seat when I arrived I deliberately sat on the other end of the class. Peeta was only a few seats from me, and he smiled and leaned over the person sitting next to him.
"Why have you changed seats?"
"Clove is a bitch, I don't want to sit near her."
He frowned. "Sorry about...what you saw the other day."
"Forgotten." I wanted to forget it. My phone buzzed.
Why are you all the way over there? Clove is annoying me xx
I looked to Thresh and shook my head, turning back to the teacher who was calling out the register.
During lunchtime I was in a rush and wasn't looking where I was going as I was talking to Glimmer on my phone. She was upset over something and I was trying to calm her down.
"Glimmer. Tell me what happened."
"Well Marvel called me up a few minutes ago and...and he was all like sweet and nice and...and he hadn't called me in a week since just! What does he mean by that?"
I was so lost in Glimmer's conversation that when I turned the corner to the diner, so I could grab something and use it to comfort Glimmer, I crashed into someone who was heading in the opposite direction. My phone flew out of my hand and landed on the ground, and I winced.
"Sorry."
"You should look where you're going." The familiar voice muttered harshly, and once I picked my phone back up I looked into the eyes of my ex. His facial expression was hard, but his eyes showed pain underneath.
"Maybe you should be more careful, Finnick." I rolled my eyes. I whispered the word 'idiot' under my breath then flicked my hair behind my shoulder, carrying on to the diner. I put the phone to my ear again. "Glimmer?"
"Still here, did you drop the phone?"
I nodded. "Yeah, sorry. Your idiot brother won't leave me alone for a second."
"I heard he was seeing that Fox girl."
"I'd have to see it to believe it, but it wouldn't surprize me." I sighed.
"Do you still like him?"
I was quiet for a moment as I grabbed some food. Then I replied. "Of course I do. But I can't do anything about it because he cheated, not me. He doesn't want me any more. I was just another girl. Right, I'm coming up to our room and we are feasting." I grinned and waved at Johanna who was sitting at the table. "Hey Jo, I'm getting comfort food for Glim, wanna come?"
Johanna agreed and we made our way to the room. On the way though I heard some giggling and in the hall, Fox was whispering into Finnick's ear, and he was grinning at her. He kissed her sloppily and Johanna put a hand on my arm. I didn't realise that my hand was shaped into a fist.
Just as we had passed them and were about to exit the room Fox called my name. I looked behind me, and Finnick looked guilty.
"Hey Katniss, I told you you wouldn't last long." She giggled, positioning her neck so I could see the hickey she got from him.
"Actually, I dumped him." I crossed my arms, my jaw tense. I looked at Finnick. "Whole story. That's the whole story. I hope you two are happy together. And by the way, I'm not with Thresh. I never was." I turned away quickly and stormed off. I didn't realise Johanna wasn't behind me until I reached my room. I quickly backtracked and bumped into Johanna. She was looking pleased with herself.
"What did you do?" I raised an eyebrow.
Johanna grinned. "I may have...slapped Fox...and punched Finnick, then kneed him in the groin."
I was impressed. "Thanks, Jo, you are really a good friend."
Johanna laughed. "They deserved it. Although he was quite surprized when you said you were never with Thresh. He said...'what have I done'."
I frowned as I knocked on Glimmer's door, and as soon as she opened it I bombarded her with questions.
"Glimmer, did Finnick cheat on me."
Glimmer looked at me, then Johanna, then back to me, before shaking her head. "No, he only said it to hurt you."
"But why did he say it?"
"He thought you had cheated on him."
"But I didn't..."
"Yeah well, I know my brother, and really he is a vulnerable type of guy. If something will hurt him, he pushes it away. He thought you were going to hurt him, so he pushed you away."
My phone buzzed. Thresh. I picked up.
"Katniss! The set list! It's up!"
I gasped. "But... but they're meant to give us a days notice!"
"I know, but it's up. Hurry before the crowds arrive!" He hung up and I dropped the food.
"Guys, the set list is up, oh my god!" I ran out of the room and ran through the corridor, passing Fox and Finnick. Finnick looked upset and Fox looked like she wasn't done with him, and both of them looked up as I ran past, followed by the others.
"Katniss!" Finnick yelled.
"No timeeeee!" I yelled back. I had to find out what I got. Whether I would be in the dance and song performance. When we arrived there the crowd was bigger, and Thresh found me and grinned.
"Go look!"
I excitedly made my way to the board, shoving past people to get there.
I looked down the list.
Thresh was Tybalt, Glimmer was Capulet's wife...Peeta was Capulet...some guy called Cato who I didn't recognise was Romeo and...
"You BITCH!" Someone screamed at me, shoving me to the ground and clawing at my face. Another girl yelped as she saw what was happening. I tried my best to fend her off, gasping for air while her hands were at my throat. "How dare you take Juliet from me! That's my part! I'm supposed to be Juliet!"
I couldn't breath, my face felt hot and I saw some guys trying to pull her off me. Eventually they dragged her off me and I lay on the floor, gasping for breath.
I saw Glimmer lean down over me. "Katniss, are you okay?" Thresh came into my view as well, and he called for someone to get a medic. I tried to sit up but Thresh pushed me back down.
After the nurse confirmed that I was okay, I went back to the room with Glimmer.
"So I got Juliet?" I whispered.
"Yes, congratulations. You also got a place in the dance and song performances." Glimmer replied. "I don't know who Cato is, and he's Romeo. But one of the girls said Cato deserved the role. So maybe he's normal, unlike the rest of them."
Johanna had got a place in Mamma Mia as she auditioned for both Romeo and Juliet and also Mamma Mia. She got the role of one of the best friends who came to visit the island. She was pretty pleased with herself.
"Unfortunately Fox got the role as one of the best friends as well, so that's going to be annoying." She jumped onto my bed and I sat on Glimmers.
"Well one girl wants to kill me." I made a joke out of it, and Glimmer frowned.
"That girl was crazy."
"She got the part of the Nurse."
I rolled my eyes. "Come at me bro."
The girls grinned. Glimmer piped up.
"So...I think it's time you gave Finnick a call, don't you think?"
I gulped.
Will she call? Yeah she might haha! What do you think of the chapter and the story so far? I have a feeling it might be coming to a close soon, and I really am amazed by so many reviews! Thank you so much!
