Katniss POV:
''Peeta, wait up!'' I yell, waving in his direction.
He lets a barely noticeable smile crawl across his face, but once I'm near enough he makes sure to look as angry as possible. He nods my way, as a form of greeting, but his lips are pressed into a firm line and eyes barely open, indicating his frustration with me.
''Hey!'' I say while throwing him the best smile I can muster, hoping he'll fall for it and relax,''Mind giving me a ride?''
His smile is definitely visible this time, and I sigh in relief. He motions for me with his head to get in the car, so I take my seat in the front.
''Where to Miss Everdeen?'' Peeta asks, while moving the side mirror's position to his likes.
''I want to pay my old neighborhood a visit. It's half an hour away. Here,'' I hand him a piece of paper with an address written on it,''Can you get me there?''
''Yeah, I've been there. If you would prefer to drive us...'' he trails off in a mocking manner, a smirk gracing his features.
''Oh shut up and drive!'' I laugh, when I recall the last time I drove.
''As you wish, my lady,'' he shoots me a smile, and starts the engine.
''It's here,'' I point towards the house next to mine,''This is the house!''
''What exactly are you expecting to find?'' he asks, while parking the car.
''It's not what, who is the real question,'' I say with a sad smile hanging on my lips. There is confusion written all over his face, but he shrugs it off once we get out of the car.
''Are you sure that whoever you're looking for still lives here?'' he asks after I ring the doorbell.
''Guess we'll find out,'' I reply with a sigh. I can't believe I never took a look at my surroundings. The only neighbor I knew was Patrick. The girl must've been around my age, so I never noticed we used to hang out.
''Yes?''A woman in her mid forties walks out, a kind smile on her face,''Can I help you?''
''Uh...yes,'' I smile, searching in my backpack for the picture, so that I can hand it over to her,''Do you happen to know if this girl lives here?''
''Oh so sorry sweetheart, that family happened to move a few years back,'' she replies, a small, sad smile gracing her features while looking at the picture,''But I do happen to know where. Just down the street, on your left, the first house in the corner.''
''Thank you, m'am,'' Peeta shoots her his signature smile, which makes her blush.
''Your welcome, sugar,'' she giggles, pinching his cheeks.
I roll my eyes and head towards the car, pulling Peeta with me by his arm.
''Lead the way, sugar,'' I mock, which makes him laugh wholeheartedly.
''Anything for you, sweetheart,'' he retorts with a chuckle, while starting the engine again and turning the radio on.
It is safe to say we didn't even need the car to get there, but hey, I'm a lazy ass who doesn't like walking. Same as before, I ring the doorbell while Peeta leans against the railings behind me. I woman in her early 40's opens the door for me. Her chestnut hair was slightly curled and her eyes...her eyes were truly mesmerizing. A dark chocolate and slightly catlike.
''Um, hi. I'm looking for a girl,'' I nervously start, my voice trembling for god knows what reason.
''I didn't quite catch your name,'' she leans in, in confusion.
''Sorry!'' I hand out my hand,''My name is Katniss.''
Her eyes grow wide and a big smile forms on her face. Peeta senses something going on, so he moves closer next to me. Her eyes travel to him then back to me.
''Oh my, Katniss you have grown up!'' she exclaims, ecstatic.
I stand there slightly dumbfounded, and I know Peeta has the same puzzled expression, since he doesn't even know who I'm looking for. Neither do I.
''Oh, well there isn't many names like yours. Your mother always had a thing for plants,'' she chuckled, noticing my confusion.
A girl came in to view behind her. From what I can see, she resembles her mother at some points, but also has her own unique face.
''Sonia, It'll just be a minute,'' she says, patting her on the head and turning back to me,''I'm Lola Bradley.''
That's when it struck me. Lola Bradley. It hit me when I remembered my mum's words:''In my lifetime I've had two best friends. Lola Bradley and Bolton Mellark. ''
''I'm sorry, this was a mistake and you must've mistaken me for someone else,'' I pull Peeta away and rush towards the car.
Stupid! Stupid! What was I thinking? Maybe I wasn't supposed to be here. If mum wanted me to know her, she would tell me, right?
''Why did we just walk away? I'm pretty sure she knew who you are,'' Peeta asks suspiciously, while looking at the road.
''I don't know, it's complicated,'' I huff.
''Everything is complicated with you,'' he smiles sadly, which makes my heart break for doing this to him,'' I'll drive you home.''
''Thank you,'' I choke out and tilt my head to look at the side mirror, not wanting to face him. Not when I can see in his eyes how I make him feel. How I made him feel.
Since I just have bad luck following me like a puppy and I happen to ruin everything around me, Cato happens to be standing on the lawn when Peeta parks the car. To make it worse, he grimaces and walks away. As if our relationship wasn't terrific before, now it's just so much better.
''So, guess I should go. My dad is expecting me to show up at work,'' he leans in for a hug which I return.
''Thank you for everything,'' I say with a small smile,'' Sorry for dragging you across the town.''
''It was my pleasure, sweetheart,'' he snickers while heading home.
I sigh, and head home myself.
Glimmer POV:
''You're late,'' Marvel lets out a sigh, while leaning against his car, his hands in his pockets.
He definitely made a great outfit choice. He looked hot in his leather jacket, while wearing a shirt the same colour, underneath. Black really suited him and his look made my heart flutter even more than usual.
''Sorry, Katniss needed my help,'' I lied, catching up next to him.
What she doesn't know can't hurt her. And the other option was telling the truth, which doesn't make an excellent excuse. Sorry I'm late, because I didn't know what to wear. Yeah...no.
''You look nice,'' he compliments me while twirling my hair with a smirk playing on his lips.
Damn right I do. I spent the whole day getting ready, while he gets to pick a random outfit out of his closet, lean against a car and make me fall for him.
''Thanks, so do you,'' I smile and drag him to the cinema.
''Two tickets for Hangover II, please,'' I say politely to the cashier, who in return gives us the tickets through the small opening. I was about to pull out my wallet out of my jacket until Marvel pushes me away and pays for the tickets.
''You didn't really think you'll pay for your ticket did you?'' he smirks while gently smacking my butt.
I raise my hand to lightly hit him for messing around with me, but he easily catches it in the air and kisses me on the cheek. I blush a light shade of pink and walk away to take our seats since the movie is starting in a minute. Marvel catches up soon, carrying our drinks and a big bowl of popcorn.
Okay, I'm going to be honest. I love the movie and all, but when you ask someone to go on a date with you at the movies then you know it's not for the movie. It's the perfect place for snogging. Especially since we're in the back row, and there are only a few people. You got to take advantage of that? But no, his eyes are glued to the screen when they should be glued to me. I roll my eyes and get up from my seat so that I could take a trip to the bathroom. Before I exit, I take a look at Marvel again. His chocking on his fuckin' popcorn and slurping his precious coke like an ass. I groan and walk to the lady's room. At least I'm the only one here. I bet the other girls are to busy making out with their boyfriends, while I'm competing against a fucking movie for my date.
After a couple of minutes, I hear a knock on the bathroom door and soon enough, Marvel comes barging in.
''Why did you storm off like that?'' Marvel asks, confusion written all over his face.
''Doesn't matter. Go watch the movie, I'm coming,'' I say and head towards the door, until he locks it.
''What do you think you're doing?'' I yell, furious.
''That's a good question,'' he smirks, backing me against the sink.
''Marvel!'' I whine.
''Shut up!'' he smirks, smashing his lips onto mine, which causes me to moan into his mouth and encourage him to move on.
My hands rubb his back under his shirt, up and down, while his were gently stroking my cheek. He raises me up so that I'm now sitting on the sink, my legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer. His hands are now gripping my hair while his mouth is busy biting on my lower lip. I take the chance to separate my lips from his and nibble on his earlobe. I smirk in victory when I feel his heavy breaths against my skin. I lower my lips until I reach his neck and gently suck on it. Pleased with my work, I connect my mouth with his once again. My eyes widen when his tongue roams my mouth which causes me to groan in pleasure.
I guess the bathroom isn't such a bad place for snogging either.
Katniss POV:
''Jesus Christ !'' I yell, scared out of my pants,''Don't sneak up on me like that!''
