Katniss's POV
I keep running, because we are almost touching the water, and Finnick is right behind me. My feet touch the water, and I can't believe how warm it is, so I keep running until the water is up to my chest. Then, I feel myself smash into a brick wall, or maybe it was a just a very muscular chest.
"Well, hello Katniss" Peeta says, and smiles at me. I just realized how close I was to him, and so I take a few steps back. He must of noticed, because he snickered.
"Don't worry, I don't bite" He says and smiles.
"Haha. Thats so funny Peeta." I say sarcastically. By now, Annie, Jo and Madge are making there way over to me.
"So, how's life been?" I ask. I know its a lame question, but I am terrible at making conversation sometimes.
"Um, it's, been...difficult?" He says, and it looks like he was struggling with figuring out the right thing to say.
"Difficult?" I ask.
"Um, ya, a lot has happened since the baseball game." He says, rubbing his neck nervously. He seems to do this a lot when he is nervous.
"Oh great, was it my fault? Is Delly gonna kill me tonight?" I ask.
"No, no. Delly is too nice to do that. But, we aren't together anymore. However, we are still friends." He explains.
"Peeta, I am so sorry. I should go over to her and tell her that I am sorry. I'll be right back." I say, and turn around, but he catches my hand.
"Katniss, I broke up with her. Delly was really cool about it. You don't have anything to worry about. It is not your fault." He says.
"Well, then, why? Actually, never mind it's personal. I shouldn't of asked. I say and turn my head over to see where the girls could be. They must of noticed Peeta and I having a more than casual conversation, because they are now hanging out with Gale and Finnick.
"Katniss, it's okay, you can ask, we're friends now, right?" Peeta says with a small smile. Does Peeta really consider us to be friends? That is so sweet. I think I really do have a crush on him. Wow.
"Um, uh, ya. We are friends." I say and return the smile. It was right then that I noticed I was still holding his hand. I release my hand, and for a second I feel like I see a little bit of diappointment on his face, but it quickly fades.
"I realized I had feelings for this other girl, and I just did not have the connection with Delly anymore." He says coolly.
"Oh, thats too bad?" I ask, more as like a question than a statement. He just shrugs his shoulders in reply.
"Hey do you wanna go over and see what Finnick and everyone else is doing?" Peeta asks me. I nod my head, and we make our way to them. Finnick, Cato, Gale, Marvel, Thom, Clove, Glimmer, Thresh, Foxface, Delly, Annie, Madge and Johanna are all sitting around the campfire. I thought taht Peeta and I were only talking for a few minutes, but based on how dark the sky is, it must have been longer.
Peeta and I take a seat, and I don't have any clue of what they are talking about, so I just sit there. Annie is actually talking, and even giggling, so I'm not gonna interrupt and ask to change the subject. Another ten minutes go by, and I am still sitting there.
"Hey, how about we play truth or dare? Like when we were in middle school?" Finnick suggests.
"I guess it would actually be kind of fun." Gale says. Everyone else agrees, so we decide to play. I was never into this game in middle school. Up until high school, I was known as the shy girl. Then, in high school, everything changed. Madge and I became friends with Annie and Johanna, because we were assigned to do a project together, and that was when I became a lot more social. I was considered a popular girl, even though I never thought of myself that way.
"Are we gonna play with spinning a bottle?" Delly asks. I like that way much better. I have less of a chance of getting chosen.
"Ya, why not? I'll get a bottle, and you guys should get in a circle on the sand." Finnick says.
We all gather in a circle, and I am sitting next to Madge and Clove. Clove seems pretty cool. We talked a little on our way down here to the sand, and she seems like a person I would like hanging out with. Finnick comes over, and he places a bottle in the middle.
"Well, I am back everyone! Let's get this game started! I will spin first!" Finnick spins the bottle very strongly, so it feels like it took forever for it to slow down. I would be okay with being the first person chosen, because there likely would not be any outrageous truths or dares to start off the game. The bottle slows down, and it lands on Madge. Poor Madge.
"Well, , truth or dare?" Finnick asks. Finnick and Madge seem to be having sort of like a silent competition going on. I can feel the tension in the air. You could see it in Finnick's eyes when he asked Madge truth or dare. It seems like they think they are better than the other or something.
"Dare." Madge says with no hesitation in her voice. Wow. I'm shocked, and just by the look on Annie and Jo's, I can tell they are too.
"Fine. I dare you to come kiss me for 10 seconds." Woah, I did not think Madge would do that. I mean, yes, we are 21, but Madge is just so...fragile. Well, maybe not as fragile as Annie, but I still wouldn't even in my wildest dreams would of expected Madge to do this.
"Pucker up Odair." Madge says and walks over to him and kneels down. She slams her lips onto his, and Gale starts counting. I have never seen Madge this open before.
"10 seconds are up lovebirds." Gale says. Even though it is dark out, I still manage to see her blushing a little.
"Shut up, Hawthorne." She says to Gale. Madge goes and spins the bottle, and it lands on...Gale. Of course.
"Truth or dare." She asks.
"Truth." He replies.
"Have you dated anyone here? and if so, who was your favorite?" Madge asks.
"Well, in the game Truth or Dare, you can ask ONE truth or ONE dare. Not two. And you asked me two." Gale says.
"Fine. Who, out of any of your ex's here, was your favorite?" She says and sighs. THey are giving her a hard time, however, she was asking for it!
"Thank you. My favorite ex would have to be Clove. Sorry Clover, but its true." He says and smiles sympathetically. Gale spins the bottle, and it lands on...Peeta.
Hey guys. So, I don't really know what Peeta's dare should be. What do you think? Sorry for the long wait. If you happen to ever come up with any ideas for any of my stories at any time, just PM me or review to let me know. Also, if you are reading my SYOT, please let me know if you still want me to finish the story. I got one review last chapter on it, and I guess it was just strange because that has never happened to me before. I'm not trying to be rude, but I was just wondering if the story was any good, and if there was any reason to continue. I do not know when I will update next, but my sports ended, and I have 20 days left of school, so hopefully that will mean frequent updates:)
