A/N: hey guys ! Thank you for your support. The story is slowly coming to an end, finally. I decided to update today since it's my birthday and I know I haven't updated in a really long time. I'm well aware of that, but there really is no time. Enjoy and review !:)

Chapter thirty two-Keep calm.

The way he speaks makes you shiver. The way he moves, like a snake as he crawls into your heart to destroy it. The snake that destroys everything that's pure. Such a being is seated behind a large door, behind an oval desk in it's armchair, twirling a rose in it's hand. Such a despicable being. He is aware of that fact also, but he is pulled into the darkness way to deep for him to actually care. He also happens to be the principal, Snow. The name fits his cold heart.

''Coin, why are you still in my office? I'm thinking you have a task to fulfill?'' the snake states with an absurdly calm voice considering his next horrible deed. Coin shivers from the coldness of his gaze, denying to look him straight in the eyes anymore.

''Sir, may I know why you need her acquaintance?'' she asks, her voice slightly shivering for she is afraid of him but it's not noticeable. After all, she learns from the best.

''Don't ask me questions,'' he raises his voice just a bit but still keeps the same calmness in it,''Bring her to me.''

''As you wish, sir,'' she says as she sits up from her chair, still not satisfied she doesn't have any say in his plan.

''Oh, and Coin?'' he calls before she closes the door,''Afterwards, please let Nicole know her father wishes to speak with her.''

''Of course, sir,'' she lets out a slight throaty chuckle as she closes the door.

Glimmer POV:

I pull on his leather jacket tighter as he pecks me on the lips. No matter how much he calms me down, I can't help but be worried since Katniss won't return my calls or at least text me back so I know she's okay.

''Marvel!'' I groan as he continues to watch his silly show.

''Yeah, babe?'' he asks, pulling me towards him, his eyes still not leaving the TV,''Something on your mind?''

''At the moment I only have one thing on my mind,'' I whisper as he finally looks in my direction with a grin,''And it's not good.''

''Oh, come on Glim,'' he whines as his smile falls when I give him a light shove in the arm,''You know I love this show.''

''Well why don't I breakup with you and then you can watch your precious show in piece?'' I roll my eyes. His lips form a straight line, his face getting more serious by the second.

''It's not like you haven't done that before!'' he yells out furiously, obviously not finding the situation funny but his face soon changes into a shocked, frightened expression as he realizes what just slipped from his mouth.

''What are you talking about?'' I stand up from the couch, demanding an answer furiously,''I never broke up with you!''

''You're right!'' he quickly composes himself, standing up as well,''Just forget it.''

''No! I won't just..'' I start, my eyes searching for an explanation,''Forget it. You meant it.''

''No, I..''

''Don't lie to me, Marvel!'' I yell,''Tell me the truth! What did you mean by that?''

''Don't freak out,'' he chokes out as he strides towards me, grabbing me by my shoulder,''We actually met before. A year ago to be exact.''

''What are you talking about?'' my eyes turn wide, as my lip trembles in anger. With every word that drips out of his mouth next, my body remains frozen. Why didn't any body mention this to me? This whole time I thought he just hated me for no special reason, that I just seemed to be a bother to him. There was a reason behind his motives. Did Katniss know about this? Did I really send him a letter? I was a different person then according to Katniss. I could've easily been playing him like everyone else.

Katniss POV:

''Ah, Katniss! Finally we get to meet,'' the snake extends his hand for me to shake with a wide, fake smile which I return.

''Yes,'' I simply say,''I've been told you wish to speak to me about my scholarship, sir?''

''You are correct,'' he says calmly, as he gazes into a distance,''You see Katniss, people do various, despicable thing to achieve a better life. Don't you agree?''

''That depends on the situation, sir,'' I retort, eagerly awaiting his next words.

''True. That's way I'm sure you'll understand when I ask you to join our school's team?'' he asks with the same smile he always wears. The way he said it, certainly not intended for it to be a question but rather a demand.

''I'm sorry, sir,'' I shift in my seat as I stare into his eyes without fear,''I'm sure you'll also understand that I can't do that.'' '' Terribly sorry to be so direct but what does my scholarship have to do with this?'' I ask but soon find myself answering my question,''You can take my scholarship away from me. I'll get one by beating your team.''

''Oh, Katniss,'' he chuckles as he raises from his seat,''Why on Earth would you think I would want to take away your scholarship ?No no, Katniss. I have another scholarship in mind.''

''What are you talking about?'' my face turns pale, as I let his words sink in. Again, I find myself answering the question. That's how he works. He's talking about Prim. If I compete, he'll take away Prim's scholarship.
