Chapter 6
First and second period fly by and now I'm currently walking to gym when I'm suddenly pushed down on my ass. My first reflex is to take my knife from my boot and go into protective mode when I hear my sister.
" Rose don't. Not the place for that." She says. I pick my self up and to be only met with the girl from my home room class.
" You should watch were your going bitch." The girl Cashmere says smirking while her friends behind her snicker. Right now everybody is watching what will unfold.
" Are you gonna make me ?" I taunt stepping forward I maybe 5'4, but just because I'm short doesn't mean shit.
" Ro, she isn't worth it." Prim says as she grabs my upper arm trying to keep me calm. Of course my twin sister knows my Italian temper will come out if they push the wrong buttons and trust me it isn't pretty.
" Wouldn't you like to know. I told you not to mess with me, didn't I? " Cashmere says.
" Well it looks like someone already fucked with you. Nobodies face looks that bad." I snort and that makes people in the crowd snicker. After that it seemed like everything was in slow motion. Cashmere first come flying towards my face. I caught it them swooped my leg out to knock her off her feet. Where she landed on the ground with a thud and I picked my bag up and grabbed Prim's hand and walked into the locker rooms with her and got changed for gym.
" Wow Rose I'm surprise you stayed calm. I was for sure you would have hit the bitch the second you got up." Prim says
" I would have, but then we got sent here to not bring attention to ourselves and it's the first day of school so I'm trying to be lenient. Although the next time I wont make any promises if she gets sent to the hospital it's not my fault." I say as we sit down on the gym floor waiting for everybody else to come.
" Brainless that was great what you did back their nobody ever stands up to the slut pack..well besides me. You should have seem the look on her face when you did that, Priceless! Everybody is talking about you and your sister being badass' with those piercings and tattoos you both got." Jo says as everybody starts piling in.
" Yea well she had it coming to her. She better think twice before trying something again." I say and then coach Boggs starts to talk. I feel somebodies eyes burning into the back of my head. I turn around to look and I'm met with the most beautiful sea green eyes I've ever saw. My breath hitches in my throat when I look him over, tall maybe about 6'2, tan with broad shoulders, bronze hair and that face is too good-looking. He looks like he is a womanizer player. I notice that he's staring at me. So I decide to mess with him and I give him a wink and turn back around just in time as everybody starts picking groups of 4 for the relay race.
" Brainless, you, me, Sophia and Clove are a group I hope you are faster than you look." Jo says to us. I just give her a devilish smile and then turn to Prim who is wearing the same look as me. Jo eyes us curiously.
" What's with the look you both are wearing? " I guess the girl with black hair and hazel eyes ask us.
" Oh, you'll find out, so whats the order gonna be? " Prim says.
" Me, Clove, Sophia, and brainless is gonna bring us home. We are competing with those guys over their they never lose." Jo sighs.
" Well, i looks like they be losing today. Just wait and see." I say to them. We get into I places for running and so does the guys that we are competing against. The boy with the sea green eyes takes a spot next to me I guess I will be competing with him. I smirk to myself he doesn't know what he's in for.
Finnick's POV:
We're going against Johanna's groups I smirk to myself thinking this will be a piece of cake as I take my place next to the new girl I will be competing against.
" Hey, whats your name? " I ask her. She turns to me and smirks
" Rose Deen and you might be ? " She ask me. Rose what a beautiful name that is for a beautiful girl. Time to put on my charm for her.
" I'm The Finnick O'dair. It's a pleasure to meet you Rose." I say seductively to her.
" Well nice to meet you Finnick just to let you know you're gonna lose and just because you're a pretty boy doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on you." She says turning away and looking straight ahead and getting into start position.
" I didn't say you was, but I don't think you can beat me tho." I finish saying as I see Cato making his way toward Peeta with Clove on his heels. I smirk there is no way they can beat us. Cato gets to Peeta first and then Clove passes it to Rose sister. Then something unexpected happens her sister takes off full speed burning Peeta behind her. My mouth goes slack and Rose turns to me and smirks
" Now whose gonna lose again." she teases smirking I get a determine look across my face. Then Rose sister gets to her before Peeta gets to me. She takes off running. She isn't that fast I think as Peeta gets to me I take off running passing Rose, I smile at her as I pass. She just smirks at me then runs full speed like her sister did and is at the finish line before I can even blink. Once I get their I collapse on the floor trying to calm my breathing.
" Wow, who knew you were that fast." I say to her once my breathing is under control. She just shakes her head and chuckles at me.
" Awe, you mad you got beat by a girl? " She taunts me.
" Not if the girl is as hot as you no I'm good." I say getting up and purr in her ear. She smirks at me and then walks away back to her friends who all cheer at her. Leaving me watching her from behind. Her and her sister are strange girls.
Katniss's POV:
" Whoa, brainless who knew you and your sister could run like that, you both have to be on the track team with me and Clove." Jo says as I approach them.
" You never asked and we are gonna tryout for track and cheer-leading too." I say shrugging my shoulders.
" Cheer-leading?!" Jo and Clove say confused.
" Yea, me and Soph always do our two favorite sports together mines track and hers is cheer-leading." I say shrugging my shoulders. They nod their heads in understanding and we go into the locker room to change and then we go our separate ways. 4th period comes and goes and I'm in the cafeteria looking for Johanna when I hear.
" Brainless! Over here." Jo yells across from the cafeteria. I roll my eyes at her nickname for me as I walk over to her table with people sitting at it. I sit down in between Prim and Johanna.
" Guys this is Rose and Sophia Deen they transferred here from Spain." She says introducing us. " Brainless, Sophia this Annie - " a girl with brown wavy hair and sea green eyes. " Madge -" a girl with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. " Scarlet or Foxface -" a girl with red hair and piercing green eyes with features like a fox. " Rue - " a girl with thick black hair and brown eyes " and you already met Clove over here." She finishes. We all say hello and then they bombard us with questions.
" So what are you guys, your too tan to be just white." Clove ask. Annie scowls at Clove, but the question just makes me laugh.
" It's ok, and well Sophia and I are Italian and white." I say.
" Cool Jo tells me you guys are infernal twins?" Madge asks
" Yeap, we are Rose is a minute older than me." Prim says to them.
" So why did you guys come here ?" Annie ask.
" Well, both of our parents died and now we are living with are Uncle and Aunt." I say nonchalantly. They all give us sympathy looks except for Jo since she already knew why.
" I'm sorry to hear that, I shouldn't have asked. Anyways have you guys seen anybody you might be interested in?" Annie ask trying to light-in the mood. I grin at her.
" Yea, I met this guy Finnick he seems interesting. Do you guys know him? " I ask. Then I see Annie's face immediately fall. I'm confused is he that bad?
" Oh' well you see Annie here has had a crush on him since freshmen year and he hasn't really notice her." Madge explains. I make a 'O' shape with my mouth. Now I understand.
" Well, I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here. I just said he looked interesting. I didn't say that I liked him or anything. " I try to explain. Even I probably do have a crush on him. I just don't want anymore enemies than I probably already have.
" Then don't." Annie snaps. I'm taken aback I thought she was all sweet and quite I guess I was wrong. I look at Prim and raise an eye brow and her saying ' what the fuck is her problem' she just shakes her head.
" Well..I like this Peeta guy. He seems really sweet. and he's hot." Prim says trying to light-in the mood. I'm thankful for her cause the tension was getting strong. I let out a sigh of relief when Jo picks it up.
" Well.. Him, Finnick, Thresh, Marvel and Cato are the popular boys in school. The girls that you encountered today are the Queen bees and also the sluts of this school. Of course you know Cashmere, but you don't know her two best friends. First is Delly she use to be sweet and sit with us until she started hanging around Cashmere and she turned into one of them. Next is Glimmer she has a thing for Peeta and Cashmere has a thing for Finnick." Jo says as the bell rings and we go our separate ways. I walk into culinary and see Peeta's in my class. I smile because this is a advantage for Prim. I go to sit by him.
" Hi, Peeta right? " I ask as I sit down next to him.
" Uh.. Yea how did you know ?" He asked clearly confused. I laugh at his confused face.
" Oh , a little birdy told me. So you think my twin sister is hot don't you ? " I ask him and I see he starts to blush. Ha, I caught him right where I want him.
" Umm..uh..I guess." He stutters. Still blushing
" I know you do I saw the way you kept eyeing her up at lunch it's so obvious to anyone. I'll make a deal with you. You be my partner and help me pass this class since I suck at cooking and baking and I will help you get with my sister. And by the way her name is Sophia." I say smiling. I can see him thinking this over in his head and then he smiles and nods his head.
" You got yourself a deal." He holds out his hand for me to shake. I shake his hand and we go off to our station to bake some bread.
" You know Finnick has a thing for you. Well mostly everybody does for you and your sister. I could help you out with Finnick." Peeta says as he puts the bread in the oven.
" I don't know I'm not really into the whole 'dating thing'. And Annie has a crush on him and she's kinda crazy about him. I really don't want anymore enemies this school has to offer, plus I don't want to impose on anybody." I say. " He also seems like a cocky bastard, that he thinks everybody wants him." I turn to him.
" He doesn't even know Annie exist and yes he does come off that way, but trust me he has a sweet side to him. Maybe you can give him a chance and see how it goes from there." He suggest. I shrug my shoulders I guess I can think about it . I mean how hard would it be to give the poor guy a chance.
" Alrighty I'll think about. I'm going to give you my sister's number text her whenever you want. She wont blow you off." I say handing him a piece of paper with her number on it.
" Thanks" He smiles and takes the paper as the bell rings and we go to music since we have the same class.
