Guys, I'm really sorry. I updated the chapter like 6 hours ago, but there was some malfunction. I don't know myself, but here is chapter twelve !A lot of you were dissapointed about Katniss/Peeta, so I hope this chapter lifts your spirits up ! Enjoy and review !:))

Katniss POV:

Starting from today will be going to school with Prim, only her classes start at two o'clock, so the place won't get crowded. Fortunately, this is only temporarily. Next week the pipes will be repaired, and everything will go back to the way it was.

''Katniss!'' a voice called out from down the hall.

I turn around and see Finnick rushing towards me, while pushing some students that were in his way. When he finally gets over to me, he places his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath.

''Quickly! Run that kid over there! You forgot about him.'' I say sarcastically.

''Ha ha! I need your help.'' he says rather urgently, while still panting heavily from all the running.

Did he search all over the school for me?

''Finnick Odair is asking me for my services. That's a first !'' I grin.

''Don't make me repeat myself,'' he says annoyed, while looking around us, as if someone's listening in on our conversation.

''Calm your tits! How can I help?'' I say with a big toothy smile on my face.

He throws another glance around us before speaking up. I roll my eyes.

''I saw you hanging with Annie Cresta. Are you friends with her?'' he asks with a serious tone.

''Yeah, why?'' I ask suspiciously.

''I need you to help me out with her.''

I start laughing really loud. Some students stopped talking, and looked in our direction. Finnick furrows his brows in anger.

''Sorry, sorry! It's just, you have every girl eating from the palm of your hand. Why would you need my help?'' I ask, confused.

''She's different. Trust me, I tried every trick I had up my sleeve. She even ripped my invitation for the party,'' he says while cringing,'' I can't ask Johanna and Mags. They aren't really my fans, either. They'd tell her right away. I trust you. Can you help me or not?''

''Yeah, sure.'' I reply, surprised. I never thought Finnick would have a problem getting a girl.

He releases the breath he was holding in.

''You're the best, Kat! Oh, and Peeta asked me to give you this,'' he hands me a piece of paper.

''Later!'' he winks.

It was a note from Peeta. He has a very nice handwriting.

Meet me in front of the bakery at 9 o'clock.

Peeta.

The date! I smile, and put the note in my pocket.

Glimmer POV:

''There has to be something!''

''I'm sorry Glimmer. There's nothing we can do. She doesn't go to this school anymore.'' Coach Red replies frustrated. We've been over this a hundred times.

''What about the girl from two years ago. She didn't go to this school, but she competed!'' I exclaim.

''Yeah, but she was doing volunteer work. When you were in need of a bottle of water, or a towel, her duty was to provide it for you. Since she was a part of the team, she was given permission.

I smirk, and he rolled his eyes.

''Fine! If Katniss can manage coming over after school every day to work for me, I'll make sure she gets on the team. If she doesn't show up, even if it's once, she is OUT!'' he yelled.

''Don't worry, I'll make sure she does,'' I smirk.

Another peaceful lunch.

''Katniss, I need you to take care of Prim tonight. Her friend is coming after school to sleep over. Derek and I are working late tonight.''

''I already made plans.'' I say not looking away from my plate. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

''With who? Glimmer can stay over to take care of her with you.''

''It's not with Glimmer,'' I say, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

She noticed how uneasy I was, which gave her an idea of who it might be.

''Is it Peeta?'' she smiled.

That's when I looked up, and my eyes locked with Cato's. To say he looked angry is an understatement. His fists clenched, looking me dead in the eye. Marvel noticed our little exchange, so he broke the silence.

''I can't, either. I'll be near the bridge.''

The big bridge near our school. He goes there often lately. Probably with Foxface.

''Cato?'' Derek turns to him.

''Fine!'' he says, while leaving the table.

We all look at each other, and finish eating in silence. As soon as I finish, I head towards my room.

Cato POV:

I smash everything in my reach. How can she go out with that prick? Finnick I could've handled, even though I wasn't to happy about their little note exchange. She smiled! She never gives me a smile. But this! That little bastard is acting like a little goody too shoes. How can I compete with that?

I see her walk pass my room, so I grab her, and pull her inside. She starts screaming, but I pull her into a kiss to shut her up. She seems shocked for a second, but quickly pushes me off. What the hell? No one pushes me off.

''Are you crazy?'' she yells.

Yeah, I am. You made me that way.

'' Why are you going out with him? I thought you felt the same way. I thought we had something!'' I yell back.

''There is no us!'' she snaps,'' We can never be together!''

I caress her cheek, and she looks away. I groan. I turn her so she has to look me in the eyes.

''We could keep it a secret.''

Her eyes widen, and she gets angry. I like her feisty.

''We'd be living a lie.''

''So you do feel something for me? I'm only hearing reasons why we shouldn't be together, but you never denied that you like me.''

She pushes me off, and goes to her room.

We are already living a lie, Katniss. Why are you so blind not to see that?

*DING DONG

''GET THE DOOR!'' my mum yells from her room.

Nobody is going to get it. I'm living in a house with a bunch of lazy asses. I have to do everything around here. I open the door to find a grinning Glimmer, a smiling Thresh and a shy little girl hiding behind him. Okay.

''Hey Katniss! I just came to drop my sister off. I'll be going now. Come on Rue, it's ok.'' he smiles while pushing the little girl inside.

''Hi Rue. I'm Katniss. Don't worry, I don't bite!'' I smile while leaning down to shake her hand.

She returns my smile, which reminds me of Thresh.

''Prim! Your friend is here!'' I yeall. I turn to Rue,'' She's a bit deaf. You can go upstairs. Her room is just down the hall.'' I grin.

She giggles, and runs off. I smile. She reminds me so much of Prim.

''I'll take it from here, Thresh. See you at school.'' I wink.

''Bye Kat !'' he runs off.

''Now,'' I turn to Glim,'' What brings you here?''

''Just the best news ever!'' She grins, entering the house.

''What?''

''You're on the team!'' she starts screaming and jumping up and down.

''W-w-what?'' I say, stunned. How did she do it?

''You have to do some volunteer work after school. Other than that, you're in!'' she smiles.

''Glimmer!'' I exclaim, hugging her tightly. What would I do without her?

''Is Marvel here?'' she suddenly blurts out.

''Yeah, why?'' I talk one step closer, curious to what she has to say.

''Nothing!'' she replies nervously.

''Glimmer? We never keep secrets from each other!''

''Fine, I kind of...like him.''

Wow!

The bakery shop, 9 o 'clock.

''Katniss! You look beautiful.'' Peeta smiles, eyeing me up and down.

I blush.''Thank you. You look handsome.''

He chuckles. I was wearing one of my mum's old dresses. If it was a normal day, she would've never given it to me, because they are far precious to her.

He ties a blindfold to cover my eyes, and carefully leads me inside. Once he took us to the place he wanted us to be, he untied the blindfold. I gasped. In front of me was a table for two with delicious food and drinks. Did he do this all by himself?

''Peeta..''

''Come on! Let's sit down,'' he pulls my chair for me to sit.

An hour has passed, and the date was going perfect. Turns out he cooked all the food by himself.

''So, Katniss? Do you still not like Derek?'' he asks.

I don't even know myself.

''Well...I guess he make my mother happy, so I tend to stay out of her relationship.'' I reply honestly.

''It's not always about happiness.'' he says.

''What do you mean?'' I ask, confused.

He lifts my chin up, and gently kisses me. It was a nice, soft kiss, but there was no spark.

''For example,'' he smiles,'' You make me happy. But you also make me crazy, sad, frustrated, jealous...all those emotions combined. If someone only makes you happy, something is not right, don't you think?''

Oh my god. What am I doing here?

''Peeta...I have to go!'' I quickly blurt out.

''What? Are you ok?'' he asks, concerned.

''Yeah..I'm sorry.'' I ran, as fast as I could.

How stupid could have I been? All this time I was pretending I was strong, I was moving on, going on a date with Peeta, but the only thing I was doing was avoiding the problem. Denying my own wishes. My legs were hurting from all the running, but I didn't care, I wasn't stopping.

I rushed into the house, panting from all the running. He was standing there, our eyes not turning away from each other. At that moment I knew what I have known all along. Where my heart belongs. Where my home is. I found my home.

''Cato.''

The next chapter will be about Marvel/Glimmer. What they were doing during this time..(:
