Katniss's POV
"Anger management classes?" I gasped almost yelling at Haymitch.
"Yes, but we don't have enough time to actually have a teacher here, so say hello to your new teacher." Haymitch announced, motioned with his hand, and Peeta came into the room smiling at me. I smiled back and blushed.
He did have more patience than me, he did know how to talk to people without getting annoyed, and he was adorable so I was fine with it. "Okay." I replied not complaining.
Haymitch rolled his eyes, glared at us both, before leaving the room. Peeta grinned at me and then sat in the seat where Haymitch was a moment ago. He grabbed both of my hands still smiling at me and I was smiling back.
"Hello, Katniss." He said.
"Hello, Peeta." I replied still smiling.
"Fiancée," Peeta whispered before shaking his head and getting a serious look on his face, "Katniss, we have to get to work."
After he taught me his tricks about interviews, anger, and pertinence we walked out of the train because we were arriving at the Capitol to being training. Michael runs up to the glass to wave at his 'fans' and as Peeta and Haymitch glanced at me silently wondering why I wasn't going up with him I shook my head at them.
Calm me stubborn but I was not going to please the crowd by waving like a buffoon and trying to get them to love me… again. As soon as I stepped out of the train, however, people were yelling my name and saying that it was unfair I was in it again and some just looked confused. But, after Peeta grabbed my hand and led me inside the crowd went wild.
Effie led us to the hotel room which looked a lot like last years.
"They knew that you would like to see something familiar in the Capitol!" Effie announced happily. Familiar?
"Familiar? They are going to see Caesar, Katniss is in the same situation, and they are all going to train. Those things are pretty familiar." Haymitch sassed to her.
"Still, thank you Effie. It is nice to see something familiar that doesn't associate with death." I protected her. Peeta flinched at the word death and I grasped his hand tighter.
"You're welcome, Katniss." Effie replied, clapping her hands and walking to the dining room. I smiled at her back, always so positive.
"Well," Michael started, "this is okay." He looked around the room and nodded curtly.
"I can see why you two don't like each other, sweetheart." Haymitch mouthed to me and I nodded.
Peeta led me into my room, which would become his room as well, and we sat down on the bed facing each other.
"Katniss, tomorrow you start your training." Peeta began. "I beg you, please, make friends." Peeta begged.
"Peeta, more than half the people want to kill me and probably three people want to keep me just because they think I know what is going to go on in that arena." I told him.
"Well, then make those three people love you. Make them love you and want to protect you." Peeta pleaded.
"You know I don't make friends easily." I shook my head, doubtfully.
"Then act like they are me. Act like you are talking to me." Peeta suggested then his expression turned serious. "But don't kiss any of them." He grinned.
"I won't." I laughed as well. "I'll try, Peeta." I promised, nodding.
"Thank you." Peeta kissed my forehead. "I have to go talk to Haymitch and Michael." He stood up.
"Hurry back to me." I whispered as he started to walk away.
"I'll be back before you know it." Peeta came back to my side and kissed me and then kissed my ring. "I love you, Katniss."
"I love you too." I whispered as he left the room. I smiled at the door he left through, so happy with my life; despite everything that is going to happen.
In an effort to distract myself, I took a shower; to wash away the hate from Michael, the negativity of Haymitch, and the events of the Games that are about to unfold. As for the engagement, Peeta and I both agreed that keeping it secretive would be better. Peeta suggested that I mention it during my interview with Caesar and I told him I would try.
It struck me as I dried my hair that, that conversation was the first Peeta and I talked about the actual games and me fighting in the games. I wasn't positive I was going to win, but I did have more hope than last year; which can be a bad thing I thought as I put on pajamas and crawled into bed.
However, I refused to fall asleep because I knew I would have nightmares. I sighed as I realized I would have to get used to sleeping without Peeta in a week; oh well may as well enjoy it while it lasts.
Peeta walks the room then with a v-neck white shirt and plaid pants. I smiled at him because he is just too adorable as he crawls into bed beside me.
"I told you I would be back before you knew it." Peeta whispered as he lay down and I grabbed his hand and laid my head down on his chest; as my pillow.
"Yes, I suppose you did." I smiled moving my face so that I was facing him.
Peeta smiled. "I love you." He bent his head down to kiss me and I moved my head so it would be comfortable for both of us.
"I love you, Peeta." I replied between kisses.
Peeta pulled back way too soon for my liking, "You need your sleep." He murmured clearly frustrated as well.
"But this keeps the nightmares away." I whimpered as I kissed him again.
"Well if you put it that way," Peeta muttered against my lips and as we kissed for a few more moments, "No, Katniss, you need your rest. You might not get a lot after the games start." Peeta pushed me away and placed my head back on his chest.
I huffed, "Alright fine. I love you." I whispered as I closed my eyes, letting sleep take over.
"I love you, Katniss, so much." Peeta's last sentence reached my ears before I fell into the darkness that was sleep.
The next morning started training, Michael and I all walked down together to the training center because Haymitch told us we shouldn't be babysat. We were in complete silence as we entered the center last, I was unprepared by the looks and the gawking expressions I got as I entered the room however.
"Katniss Everdeen? It really is her!" A girl was saying.
"I don't know if it was true!" A man said.
"I saw the reaping but I didn't think she would actually be eligible!" A woman whispered to the people she was surrounded by.
I rolled my eyes at the people, but then I remembered I was supposed to be making friends so I just smiled cheerfully at them and waved before shooting an arrow straight into the bull's-eye to show them that I am here to make friends but also to win.
After I shot the arrow and made a fantastic fire, an incredibly handsome, tall, muscular, star-athlete looking with bronze hair and a perfect tan started walking my way with a breath-taking smile that showed shiny white teeth.
"Katniss Everdeen, I am one of the many that is thoroughly surprised to see you here." The man told me and I was lost in his sea green eyes, "Oh, I do apologize. My name is Finnick Odair." He held out a hand and kissed my knuckles when I held out mine.
"Nice to meet you, Finnick." I cleared my throat. "Yes, I suppose everyone is." I dropped my head.
"You made quite and entrance, love." Finnick winked at me as I lifted my head again.
"I suppose that is one way of looking at it." I shrugged smiling.
"If I may, and I do not want to upset your Peeta, but you are stunning." Finnick said and I slowly came to realize that he was flirting with me; still I liked when he said my Peeta.
"Thank you." I thanked him easily. "You are not too bad yourself; excuse me if I make your lover mad." I said awkwardly, not knowing his love life.
"Oh, I think she will be fine." Finnick smiled again. "I breathe under water." He whispered, winking. I stared at him for a second not catching on until I understood; he was telling me his gift.
I nodded, "I don't tell people what I do when I first meet them." I shrugged winking at him before walking over to the not tying section.
At this station, was a blonde haired blue eyes 4'11ft girl who looked way too young to be in the Games, she reminds me of Prim. She smiled a sweet smile at me and I returned it as I started to struggle with my knots. The girl laughed lightly and helped me.
"Thanks." I whispered, embarrassed.
"You're welcome, my name is Cecilia." She introduced herself, hugging me around the waist.
"I'm Katniss Everdeen." I hugged her back, not liking closeness except for with Peeta.
"I know. You are a legend with your bow and Peeta." Cecilia smiled and blushed when she said Peeta's name. I laughed.
"Thank you." I thanked her again.
"Can I tell you something?" Cecilia asked whispering to me, she looked embarrassed.
"Sure." I liked her but I didn't know how I felt about her already telling me a secret when we just met.
"I kind of have a crush on Peeta." Cecilia smiled guilty.
Oddly, I found it not irritating when she blushed at Peeta's name because she was simply a school girl with a crush. I laughed instead of getting angry with her.
"I'm sorry. But who wouldn't right? You are lucky to have him. He is so beautiful, kind, gentlemanly, and the way he looks at you is so loving and protective." Cecilia ended.
"Thank you." I thanked her again for no reason.
"I will not go after him though; because I can see how much you two love each other and I couldn't break that." Cecilia smiled.
"I appreciate your honesty. I like you Cecilia. Would you like to meet him?" I asked, smiling.
Cecilia jumped for joy, "Of course! Oh I'm sorry." She stopped jumping. "This must be awkward for you."
"I'll let you meet him but first you have to tell him that you are my friend and we are going to work together in the Games, even if that doesn't happen." I told her my conditions.
"Of course I will be your alliance, for real; I have always wanted to work with you anyway and it would be an honor to be your friend." Cecilia nodded quickly.
I shook her hand again, "Then it is a date." I told her smiling.
After that I went to the area where you practice your karate on a man that spins and hits you in random places. I punched and kicked in for about ten minutes until I got tired and just kicked it down.
"Do you think that will protect you?" A sneering female voice came from behind me.
I turned around and looked at a long brown haired 5'7ft girl with large brown eyes and a venomously beautiful face. She smirked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Don't play dumb, Katniss. You know those boys are looking at you right now." she pointed behind me and I saw Finnick, a Thresh-sized male, and blonde man staring us talking.
"No, I didn't actually." I replied honestly turning back to see her undressing.
"Would you be quiet? It is not like a few kicks are going to let you win this time." She took off her jacket and revealed a white bra.
"Any reason you are getting naked?" I asked looking away.
"Don't play dumb, Katniss." She repeated. "It is not like we are all planning to kill you." She started oiling herself up for the wrestling match. "My name is Johanna Mason by the way."
"It is a pleasure to meet you." I mutter sarcastically as I turned around and walked the other direction to the bow and arrow area again.
I met all the other tributes and I felt as if all of them were not on my side so, after a few more hours; Peeta was waiting for me outside of the area, Cecilia and I decided that she should meet Peeta tomorrow after practice. I smiled when I saw him and he kissed me when I walked into his arms.
"Did you make any friends?" Peeta asked, I knew he was trying to hold in his desperate need to protect me as he covered up his emotions, but I could see it in his eyes.
"I made an alliance for sure, and I believe one other person is on my side." I told him thinking of Finnick and Cecilia.
"Great job!" Peeta gave me a bright smile as he started walking me to the elevator. "I am very proud of you Katniss. Maybe all you need is one more for sure person and you will be fine."
Peeta nodded thinking of more strategies than I was as we stepped into the elevator.
"Is it true what Haymitch said, about letting three people win this year?" I asked quietly.
"I believe so," Peeta answered slowly, thinking, "but like last year they might change their minds so just be careful."
"Change their minds and change their minds back." I corrected him teasingly.
"Yes, your right," Peeta whispered stepping so that my nose was on his chest, "then one of us wouldn't be here to enjoy this." Peeta kissed me passionately.
I smiled against his lips, "I wouldn't like missing this." I told him honestly.
"Trust me, Katniss, me either." Peeta let go of me as the elevator opened and we stepped into our apartments.
The next day went by in the same schedule, training in the morning, Finnick flirting with me in the afternoon, and Johanna getting naked during dinner. After training however, I took Cecilia's hand and led her out to meet Peeta. She was telling herself to keep calm but would still jump up and down and ask me how to talk to him.
As soon as I opened the doors, Peeta smiled and Cecilia launched forward into his arms.
"Don't attack her." I mouthed to Peeta; who smiled and nodded hugging the small girl back.
"I'm sorry!" Cecilia apologized to me and Peeta as I walked up to them.
"That's alright, are you one of Katniss's friends?" Peeta asked kindly.
"Yes!" Cecilia replied excitedly, "and I am also your biggest fan! I love you!"
Peeta laughed awkwardly, "Thanks for being Katniss's friend. She is going to need them and I have a fan? Wow!"
I rolled my eyes at his modesty and gentlemanliness.
"Well of course you have fans, you are the most gentlemanly person ever, and you're beautiful! I love the way you love Katniss! And the cave scene last year made me cry in three different spots!" Cecilia expressed, still holding Peeta.
Peeta held her at arm's length and blushed, "Thank you. I do, I love Katniss more than anything," Peeta smiled at me, "The cave? Yes, that was my favorite part of the Games." Peeta whispered, he hasn't told me that before.
I could probably guess why. If I were to think about it, I guess it would be mine too because I found Peeta, expressed my love, and from then on we were a team.
"Was it really? Mine too! Why?" Cecilia looked excited that they had something in common. I stared at Peeta while he told her, with a small smile on my face.
"Because it was the first time Katniss told me she loved me. Katniss brought me back to life." Peeta smiled at Cecilia remembering. I smiled as well.
"So the kissing had nothing to do with it?" Cecilia laughed and glanced at me behind them. "Doubtful."
"That played a huge role in it." Peeta grinned, shooting me a look. "But I am supposed to be the gentlemen, right?" We all laughed at that.
"By the way, I'm Cecilia and," Cecilia leaned in to whisper in Peeta's ear, "I promise to protect Katniss as much as possible and to not let Finnick flirt with her too much."
Peeta started to laugh but it was cut off at the mention of a man flirting with me, he looked at me, "Who is Finnick?" Peeta was watching my every move.
"He is the one that I said I didn't know for sure if he is with us or not." I told him honestly.
"Oh he is with us, Johanna too," Cecilia said I looked at her in surprise, "she will not let you get all the attention." Cecilia laughed.
"Really?" I asked surprised, "Johanna is the woman who gets naked all the time." I informed Peeta and a look of astonishment crossed his face.
"Does she like you?" Peeta asked.
"She doesn't like anyone," I rolled my eyes, "except Finnick I suppose."
"Yes, she threatens everyone right when she meets them." Cecilia confessed. "Well there is my mentor, I have to go bye!" Cecilia hugged us both before she ran up to an old woman.
"Did she threaten you, Katniss?" Peeta asked getting angrier.
"She tried to scare me." I told him.
"How so?" He demanded.
"She said that everyone was secretly planning to kill me," I shrugged. "This is true to an extent." I told him honestly.
Peeta hugged me, "To an extent but not everyone." He kissed my hair and rubbed my back, comfortingly.
"Peeta?" I whispered.
"Yes, love?" He asked, laying his cheek on my head.
"I think I have a better chance of winning this time." I whispered.
"I think you do too, but Katniss, don't get over confident." Peeta told me. I nodded.
"I won't." I promised.
After the Gamekeepers watched our skills and gave the tributes a score, I got a twelve while Michael got a six, then next day was our interview with Caesar; which meant it was one day until the Quell started and, on a positive note, it means that I get to see Cinna, my stylist, again.
In the morning, Effie woke me up and had to practically tear Peeta and me away from each other as I didn't want to leave his warmth. I kissed him goodbye and then I let her take me out of the room to the make-up room where my prep team was.
Consisting of Flavius; hair stylist, Venia; nails, and Octavia; waxing and eyebrows all run by their head stylist, Cinna, I had to admit they made me look beautiful and different. As soon as I walked through the room, I ran into Cinna's arms; which were open for me.
"Beautiful, I missed you." Cinna whispered against my hair, hugging me tightly.
"I missed you too." I replied.
"Don't hog her, Cinna, dear." Venia pulled me away and hugged me, followed by Octavia and finally Flavius.
"Ready to start?" Octavia asked I touched my eyebrows before responding shakily.
"Yes." I dropped my hand and handed myself, along with my appearance, over to them.
Effie had to hold me back as Octavia started to wax my legs, arms, and everything else as I was cursing and jumping every time my hair was ripped from its ruts; which hurts. After that, Venia started to paint my nails a beautiful orange color and Flavius started to wash my hair.
"What are we doing this time, Cinna?" I asked, trying to distract myself as Octavia plucked out another eyebrow hair.
Cinna chuckled, somewhat darkly, "I know exactly what to do for your interview. For your introduction, I believe that this entrance will be the best yet."
"You know, I am scared and delighted by you at the same time." I told him honestly.
"Thank you." Cinna nodded gratefully.
"You're welcome." I started to shake my head before I jumped again when Octavia ripped my arm hairs out in one sheet of wax.
Effie grabbed my hands and I'm glad she did because if she hadn't I probably would've jumped out of the seat and ripped Octavia's hairs out of her body all at once. So instead, I just give Octavia my best death glare; Octavia flinches after which I smile.
Cinna laughed, "Don't make us have to restraint you." He started taking measurements.
I glared at him next, "I don't see why they put us through this." I grumbled, irritated.
"I suppose they think it is good training for the Games." Flavius mutters.
"Yes, because you have to endure all this pain!" Venia agreed happily. I rolled my eyes before jumping out of my skin when Octavia pulled another sheet up from my thigh.
"What am I wearing for my entrance?" I asked changing the subject.
Cinna looked at me darkly now, "Nothing special."
"What do you mean?" Effie asked.
"You are going to go out there and wear slacks." Cinna shrugged.
"Why?" Effie asked, looking horrified.
"We are taking a stand, Effie. The President can't just send Katniss in again without any explanation." Cinna explained.
"This is awful!" Effie's face fell into her hands.
"I love it." I announced as five pairs of eyes looked my way. "Cinna you are excellent. We are taking a stand. This is perfect. Can't you see their complete shock, Effie?" I asked excited.
"I suppose it would be shocking." Effie nodded.
"The crowd already loves Katniss anyway, and she made a twelve, plus I have a reputation to keep up, do you think I am going to send her out there if I know the crowd won't love it?" Cinna whispered the last part to Effie.
"I suppose not." Effie replied defeated. "Okay, fine!"
"Excellent, now let's start on your outfit!" Cinna pulled me into the dressing part of the room.
A few hours later, my hair, body, and outfit were done. I wore some simple black slacks that went to my feet, an orange button-up blouse, black heels, and some earrings but that was it. I basically looked like I was going for lunch, but I loved it!
My hair was more elaborate than my outfit, by far. At first it was a simple pony-tail but then it got beautiful. In the font my bangs were positions off to my right ear, on the top of my head there were three beautiful shiny clips that held all of my curly brown hair that cascaded in sweet curls all the way down to my breasts.
As for my nails and make-up, my make-up was sophisticated looking with dark eye-liner, eye-shadow, and some random streaks coming of my eyes in orange; which made me look like the girl of fire again. My nails were a beautiful sunset orange color and they were glossy and lovely.
"I wanted to bring a little bit of Peeta into it." Cinna whispered, seeing me admire them.
"Thank you. He will love it." I told him.
Cinna nodded, "I know, remember I am the genius." Cinna started to spray hairspray all in my hair.
After that, they let me go outside to see Peeta, Michael, and Haymitch on the couches. Peeta stood up at my arrival; smiling, Michael's mouth dropped, and Haymitch looked shocked.
I walked forward and kissed Peeta. "Don't you love my outfit?" I asked smiling.
Peeta looked me up and down for a few moments, "I'm sorry I was just stunned. You look beautiful."
"Look at my nails!" I said excitedly, holding them out.
"There my favorite color." Peeta whispered catching my hand and smiling.
"That is what Cinna wanted; he wanted a little you with me." I shrugged smiling.
"Why are you wearing that?" Cinna and Michael both screamed at the same time. I looked between them completely confused; Michael was staring at me while Cinna was staring at Michael.
Michael was dressed in a black suit that from the bottom to the top there were little ashes and coal going down his body. He looked alright.
"I specifically told Portia to make you wear something like Katniss!" Cinna yelled, looking nervous.
"Do you know that this is a ceremony in front all of the tributes and districts and the Capitol." Michael yelled at me.
"Yes, I do know." I shrugged; obviously.
Meanwhile, Cinna was running around the place looking for Portia.
"Cinna! Relax!" I yelled at him. "It is just more rebellion."
Cinna smiled at that, "Excellent, more rebellion. Thank you, beautiful."
We made our way down to the carriages where all the other tributes were already on and looked back at us as we arrived. Some people smiled and other just rolled their eyes at me as I stood up on my carriage.
After our carriage ride, the President's speech whose eyes were as villainous as ever, and changing we were ready for our interview with Caesar. Now, Cinna dressed me in a gorgeous dress that looked right out of a picture of a sunset.
The dress had an Asian dress looking top with a beautiful thin scarf over my left arm and the bottom was a skirt that went all the way to my feet and pooled out at the bottom in different cut outs that made it look like a sun; all the while the dress from my feet started out orange, then elegantly shifted to yellow, then purple, yellow, and orange again. Cinna kept the same make up, heels, and nails on. Also my hair was the same.
"This is so beautiful." I gasped looking into the mirror.
"No, you are stunning." Venia whispered, while she repainted my nails.
I did not believe that. I was about to replied but Finnick was walked over to me.
He looked beyond beautiful in a Greek god outfit with gold and brown accents on his boots that wrapped around his calves several times.
"So, fire girl, you owe me." Finnick stared and Venia gasped; probably at his appearance. Finnick gave her a smile and Venia giggled.
"I owe you?" I asked, shocked.
"Yes." Finnick nodded. "I told you my gifts so now you owe me."
"What do you want?" I asked suspiciously.
"Honestly, I would ask for something but we don't want to upset Peeta." Finnick smiled at my gasp. "So I think you and I should form an alliance."
I paused for a long time, trying to see if I could trust him.
"What? You think I am going to back-stab you?" Finnick laughed. "Not likely, I was always taught by the rule of if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all." He winked.
I raised my eyebrows. "So you think that is going to get me to trust my life with you?"
"Good point." Finnick mumbled. "Katniss Everdeen," He took my hands, "I promise that I will not try to hurt you or stab you in the back. Please, will you be in an alliance with me?" He got down on one knee and I laughed.
"Get up!" I tried pulling him up but he wouldn't budge. "Alright, fine! I will!"
Finnick stood back up, "Thank you. I'll see you in the arena." He smiled, winked, and kissed my cheek as the Caesar called his name to come out.
I shook my head at his back. I suppose Finnick would be a good alliance. I had watched him in the training center some and he was great with a trident, swords, and making hammocks. But, if he was going to work with me I had to get him to work with Cecilia as well.
After a few more people, Caesar called my name out. I walked out trying to remember Peeta's tips. The audience clapped for me but when one yelled 'you should not be in again!' it started howl of clapping and yelling; they were agreeing with the voice.
I hugged Caesar and then sat back in my seat smiled and waited for a few seconds while Caesar tried to calm them down. I looked over the crowd and found Cinna, Haymitch, and Peeta immediately. Haymitch mouth 'be calm', Cinna pointed at Caesar and then mouthed 'he is me', and Peeta was just staring at me in a daze.
After a few more attempts to interview me, Caesar turned to the crowed with a finger over his lips to quiet them. When that didn't work, I tried to help him out.
"Alright, everyone, clam down please." I had to speak over the yelling crowed who calmed down almost immediately after I shushed them.
Caesar looked relieved, "Thank you." He whispered. "Katniss Everdeen, did you ever think that you would be in this spot again?"
I shook my head with a smile, trying to act like Peeta. "No, I did not."
"I have to tell you that I didn't think I would see you either. What does it make you wonder about the Gamekeepers?" Caesar asked.
My anger started to rise as I said, "It makes me wonder what President Snow's angle is."
Luckily, the crowd laughed and I had a chance to calm down. Caesar patted my hand on that was on my knee.
"And what does Peeta say about this?" Caesar asked with a sad look. I glanced at Peeta before responding.
"It was a very big shock, I know he doesn't like it," I started but then an idea crossed my mind and I frowned, "because now we will have to put off the wedding."
The crowd gasped and started yelling as if I had just won the lottery.
"You two are getting married?" Caesar asked.
"Yes." I nodded letting a smile return to my face. "He proposed about a week ago." I lied slightly as I showed Caesar my ring.
Caesar was beside himself as he showed the ring to the audience and I glanced up at the big screen and noticed that my beautiful engagement ring would be on every TV in all the districts and the Capitol.
"When is the wedding?" Caesar asked happily, seeming to forget about the interview.
I was taken a back at the question but I couldn't just say I don't know Caesar I could be dead tomorrow so we do not have a date yet. Instead I just said, "… I don't know yet."
"Well, I believe that I should be there, in fact I think we should all be there!" Caesar yelled helping me as he motioned to the crowed who yelled in agreement with him.
"Well, Katniss Everdeen, good luck in the arena and you look absolutely stunning!" Caesar told me as he stood me, grabbed my hand, and raised both of our hands over our heads as if I had already won.
The buzzer sounded, Caesar kissed my cheek and yelled.
"Katniss Everdeen everyone!" He motioned me off and I smiled as I started to walk off the stage. Michael came in as I went out and we shared a completely fake smile towards each other.
Once off stage, I saw Peeta and Cinna and walked over to them. Peeta looked to be still in shock.
"Excellent work, Katniss! If I would've known any better I would've thought that was Peeta up there!" Cinna yelled encouragingly. I muttered at thank you and looked at Peeta.
"… You look… so heartbreakingly… fantastically… beautiful." Peeta whispered looking me up and down slowly; taking in every inch.
I smiled, "Thank you." I blushed.
"Once again for the tributes everyone!" Caesar yelled as there was a huge applause and I changed before making it back to my room and in Peeta's arms for the last night.
