Katniss' POV
I gripped Peeta's hand firmly as he led me into the empty Capitol kitchen. He grabbed an apron from the rack and wrapped it around his waist. We have stayed in the Capitol for almost a week. Why not make ourselves home? I couldn't keep Johanna off my mind. Why was she acting like that?
"What do you want Cheese Buns?" He asked sweetly. Ugh.
"Don't act all baker on me."
"Why? I'll make you cheese buns!" He teased.
"What was with you and Johanna?" I asked out of the blue, a force was palpable in my voice.
"What?" He laughed lightly. I could feel heat rise up my cheeks. Did I just say that? I just sounded jealous.
Peeta's smile was still visible when he stopped laughing.
"Are you jealous?" he asked me. I blushed again.
"I'm not! I'm just asking. And why would you say that?" I looked at the floor, trying to avoid his gaze.
"Because you sound like you are." Peeta raised his brow. I could see he was holding back laughter. I scowled at him and left the room.
Ugh. I just hate Johanna Mason. I traced the scar on my forearm, where her knife met my flesh. I know she did not mean real harm, but I just felt my hatred for her flare up. I don't know really know why. It was all new for me. I never felt this feeling before. Jealousy. I felt it this morning, when Peeta and I bumped into Johanna. She was flirting with Peeta. My Peeta. She gave him a kind of weird smile that I see girls doing when they see Gale. I felt a smile creeping onto my lips. I always made fun of those girls.
They seemed desperate. Wait, was I not desperate? My thoughts were disturbed by a knock on the door. Hoping it was Peeta, whom I left in the kitchen, I trudged to the door and opened it. It was Enobaria. I gave her a big smile.
"Enobaria,"
"Katniss, could I talk to you?"
"Uh, yeah. Come in."
"No need. This will be fast." I nodded, signaling her to go on. She looked around first, as if what she has in mind is top secret.
"Okay, Peeta—" She stopped abruptly and looked to her left. Johanna was there, talking with Haymitch.
Johanna flashed a wide grin at us, which was out of character and I flashed her a filthy smile. Haymitch looked abstemious and like a normal person. He turned around and I saw him whisper something in Johanna's ear. Johanna trudged to us happily, like a little girl. I tried to conceal the disgust on my face as she walked near us.
"Hi guys!" she squealed which made me lose even more respect for her.
"Uh, I've got to go. See you." Enobaria quickly fled, not even giving me enough time to ask her what her question was. I sighed and turned to Johanna.
"What?" I said, a little too harshly.
"Ooh. The girl on fire is back!" Johanna grinned.
What happened to this girl? Why does she keep on smiling like there's no tomorrow? Johanna smiling is even worse than Haymitch drunk! I cocked my head slightly, letting her see that I didn't care. She let out a huff.
"Okay then. Uh, where's Peeta?" She bit her lip, making me shudder. There she goes again.
"I don't know. " I said, intending the harshness in my voice. What does she have to do with Peeta?
"Is that all?" I asked.
"Yeah. Oh look, there he is. Peeta!" She called out, which aggravated me even more. I see Peeta smiling at her. Ugh. He's encouraging her! I glared at Johanna, which ran toward my boyfriend like a fangirl seeing her favorite celebrity. I did not want to see any of it. And quietly shut the door. I did not want him to know that I was jealous. But I think what I had done made him notice it. Well, let's just hope he doesn't. After all, Peeta is a boy.
Peeta's POV
"She's really jealous Peeta." Johanna said, laughing. A smile crept onto my lips.
"Yeah. I see that." I laughed. It was cute. Seeing Katniss like that.
"Okay. Shall we end the act?" Johanna said, which really caught my attention.
"What? Why?"
"Let's just end this. Katniss hates me more than ever!"She whispered.
"Uh, maybe we should go talk somewhere else?" I suggested.
She nodded her head and we walked to the dining area.
"Katniss hates you?" I repeated.
"Duh! Can't you see it?"
"Uh.."
"Why not just continue your original plan?"
I sighed. The plan was doing fine. But anyway, I don't want Katniss to be mad at someone. Just because of my doing.
"Ok." I gave in, even though hesitating. Johanna grinned and took my hand.
"Come on, everyone's on the roof."
We were almost to the staircase, still holding hands with Johanna, when I saw Katniss looking at us, glowering at Johanna.
Katniss' POV
I really don't want Peeta to know that I was jealous but this was too much. Just to see him holding hands with that girl, Johanna, was too much. Johanna's older than him! Why would she flirt with Peeta? She already knows that Peeta and I are in a relationship! Peeta and Mason were holding hands and they seemed to be going to the rooftop. The rooftop! The only place Peeta and I have called our special place. Just the thought of it makes me so angry!
I stood there, a little bit shocked but holding my place, looking at the two. Johanna did not let go of Peeta's hand. She just looked at me, her face expressionless. Peeta was just the same. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, hoping that when I open them, things will all be alright. As I opened them, Peeta was nowhere in sight, Johanna standing in front of me.
"Where's Peeta?" I clenched my teeth. Johanna came nearer, as I held my ground.
"You should know. He's yours you know. " she said. I knew she was teasing me. I gave a soft huff, and turned around. I should know better. I was becoming something I shouldn't be. I started to go back to my room when Johanna said: "Better watch your guy. Someone might take him away from you."
I gave my head a slight shake as a sign of disgust. Johanna was becoming really annoying. I went inside my room and slammed the door for a dramatic effect.
Peeta's POV
What did Johanna just do? I asked myself. From the top of the stairs, I could hear every word from their short conversation.
"What did you do?" I asked worriedly.
"I just had a little fun."
"I thought you wanted this to end!"
"Just one last time Peeta! Geez man." She sighed.
"Fine. If Katniss I don't know, breaks up with me, I'll—"
"Whoa! She won't."
"How are you sure?"
"Cause you'll propose to her before she'll even think about dumping you."
Johanna opened the door and led me outside. The rooftop was ready. It was ready for my proposal to Katniss. Lights were strung around. It was amazing.
"How?" It was all I could say. I saw everyone come out and surprise me.
"We figured that we'd still do this, even though you were going through with your plan." Annie smiled.
"We wanted you to have a little fun, but we still want to go through with the proposal." I heard Paylor say. I looked at Johanna.
"Thanks."
"No problem. Now all you have to do is bring Katniss up here."
"Yeah. But I'll need your help."
"Yeah, sure. Oh by the way, sorry if I almost said your plan to Katniss." Enobaria said.
"What?"
"Sorry."
"One thing I know, you can't be trusted." Haymitch butted in.
"It's alright. We'll need all the help we could get." I stated.
