Chapter 3 "Brother and Sister "

Johanna's POV

"Peeta!"

"Huh? What?" Peeta finally looks at Annie and me. His eyes have been glued to something behind us.

"What are you even looking at?" I ask as Annie turns to see.

"Nothing." Peeta starts to play with his food.

Annie turns back to us. "Take a look for yourself, Jo."

I turn and see her, Glimmer. There she is standing in the lunch line next to some girl. God, just went I thought my day was going great.

"Really, Peeta?" I cross my arms over my chest in judgment.

There are a hundred other girls in our grade and he falls for her. God. Glimmer's just so...I can't even explain it! She just bugs the hell out of me. Can't Peeta fall for some other girl?

"Someone's jealous." Annie smirks.

"Shut up Annie. You don't like Glimmer either."

"No as much as you don't."

True. I don't think anyone could hate her as much as I do. That girl's just the worst.

Peeta smiles and waves in her direction. Is he not listening to us? We hate her and he's telling her to come join us? I don't understand how Peeta becomes a total idiot when she's around.

"Be nice." Peeta's only looking at me.

"I'll try. No promises."

I can hear her footsteps approach. With that I take a deep breath and try to relax. Hopefully I can get through lunch without having to snap at her. That's unlikely though.

"Hi, Glimmer." Annie flashes her a smile.

I snort and Peeta kicks me under the table because of it. It's not my fault I can't put of a fake smile and act like I like someone when I don't. That's the difference between Annie and I. When I don't like someone, they know I don't like them.

"Hi Peeta, Annie...Johanna." I can tell she doesn't like me either by the way she says my name. She might as well have said 'Oh, you're here.'

"Who's your friend?" Peeta asks.

Glimmer shots Peeta the dirtiest look I've ever seen.

"Jeeze, what's your problem Glimmer?" I ask. "We just want to know her name."

Now she's glaring at me. "This is Clove. She's been going to the same school as us since, ever."

Oh...this is awkward.

Annie gives a confused look. "Why haven't we met? I'm—"

"Annie, I know, and we have met. Several times in fact." Clove stands up and grabs her tray.

"Clove, where are you going?" Glimmer looks up at her.

This is a side of Glimmer I've never seen. Her eyes are worried and her voice uneasy. She isn't just acting concerned like she does with any of us. Glimmer actually cares about this girl, Clove. Must be best friends. Here I thought Glimmer had no friends.

"I lost my appetite." She says sadly and leaves.

Glimmer inhales deeply. "I'd better go make sure she's okay."

Again there's kind Glimmer. It's starting to creep me out.

"I'll come with." Oh, Peeta. Internal facepalm. Second-hand embarrassment right now.

"I think it's best if you don't." Glimmer leaves.

"What a drama queen," I mumble.

"Johanna," Annie gasps. "How could you say that? I feel horrible."

"Oh come on! So we didn't know her, big deal. I bet she doesn't know half of the people we used to go to school with."

"Still, Johanna," says Peeta. " Did you see the look on that girl's face? Like she just wanted to crawl in a hole and die."

"I feel like that once a week. She'll get over it. Now can we move on?"

I know I'm being cold. Heck, I'll just say it, I'm being heartless. But honestly I don't want to spend my lunch feeling bad for some girl who I'll probably never see.

"So Peeta, meet anyone interesting today?" I question.

"No, not re—oh, there was this one girl."

"Name?" Annie's suddenly interested.

"I actually didn't get her name. She has red hair but not like yours Annie. Hers is flaming red and she kind of reminds me of a fox."

"Oh, new love interest for Peeta? Watch out Johanna you have some competition."

I roll my eyes at Annie's joke. She laughs.

"Was she cute?" I ask casually ignoring Annie's response.

"I guess. I wasn't really looking at her like that."

"Well you should," I snap.

"Huh?"

"Look Peeta," I start off. "You need to get over Glimmer. I don't want to sound mean—" Annie snorts. "But she doesn't like you. Move on, it's time."

Peeta looks at me for a minute and just takes it all in. "I suppose you're right. A guy can't wait forever."

"Exactly," I agree.

"So you'd better get a move on before Gale meets someone else."

Just like that he uses my own words against me. Haven't I taught him well.

"Excuse me?"

Peeta crosses his arms over his chest. "Annie and I know you like him. What are you waiting for?"

I do like Gale. I was going to tell him after my talk with Annie but then I met Cato. Cato's really hot and I think he likes me too. Gale is a jerk, and Cato might not be. It'd be better for me to explore my options now before Gale and I get in a relationship.

"I met this guy," I nearly whisper.

"Whoa! Do Gale and I have competition now?" He jokes.

I like the fact Peeta and I can joke about us being together without it being awkward. That's been a joke between the group since Annie came along last year. At first it was weird, but it's been a year and we're used to the jokes already. They don't bother us, but it can get annoying sometimes.

I laugh. "Maybe."

"Hi."

All three of our heads whip around to see a hot guy standing next to Peeta. At first I think he's talking to Peeta but than I see he's looking right at Annie. Not anywhere else.

"H-hi." Annie flashes a smile.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I saw you sitting over here and I just...had to introduce myself." The blonde sticks his hand out for a hand shake," I'm Gloss."

Annie shakes his hand. "Annie."

"That's really beautiful. Much like it's owner." says Gloss with a winning smile.

Both Peeta and I roll our eyes in disgust.

Annie blushes. "Thanks." She pulls her hand away.

Her eyes flicker towards me and then she blinks.

"Oh, um," she swallows nervously. "These are my friends. Johanna Mason and Peeta Mellark."

We greet him and shake his hand as well.

"You two make a great couple."

Annie giggles while me and Peeta share a look. What bothers us is when other people see us a couple. They don't know us, it's rude to just assume.

"Umm, no we aren't together," I inform him.

"Oh, well I'm sure my sister will be happy to hear that. She would have come to say hi to you, Peeta, but she thought you were taken," Gloss says.

I roll my eyes and I don't even know why. Maybe 'cause this guy is too cocky.

"Well, tell her I said hi."

"Why don't you tell her yourself? In fact, would you three like to join my sister Cashmere and I for lunch?"

"No thanks," I answer, quite annoyed.

"Well what about you?" Now his attention all on Annie again. "Would you join us?"

Again, she blushes. "I would love to but I can't leave my friends. That would be rude."

"Than how bout you come over my place Friday. There's going to be a party and I'd love it you could come."

Damn this guy pushes. Can't take no for an answer can he? I'm going to love seeing his face when Annie turns him down.

"Sure." What? "Only if my friends can come. And I don't just mean them two."

"As look as you don't bring a date I'm good."

Well isn't he a charmer.

Annie puts her number in the guy's cell.

"I'll text you with the details." And he's gone.

Annie is smiling like an idiot watching him walk away. Peeta and me look at each other reading one another's mind. He nods give me the okay.

I hit Annie on the shoulder.

"Oww!" Annie slaps my hand.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Huh?"

"Annie. What about Finnick?"

"What about him?" she raises an eyebrow.

"What are you, blind?"

Annie still has that confused look on her face. Obviously she is blind.

"Annie," I look her right in the eye. "Come on."

She groans. "We're just friends. Yes, I like him, but he doesn't like me."

Everyone who knows us knows Finnick likes Annie. He's the one who brought her into our group. It's been a year and I still doesn't understand why they aren't together. They're as close as Peeta and I are. They always hang out, have inside jokes, laugh for no reason with each other, want to tell each other everything, trust no one else more than them, know when something wrong and things like that. The one thing Peeta and I don't have that their friendship does is that spark. You find yourself staring at them complete dazed. When they touch you get those butterflies in your stomach. Their smile literally makes you smile. Annie and Finnick have that spark between them. If Peeta and I had that we won't be just friends. Thankfully we don't cause Peeta's a great friend. I won't want to ruin our friendship for anything.

"Yes he does." Peeta and I say in unison.

"Okay, maybe he does. If he tells me that changes things. Not when other people tell me. And hey, if Johanna can explore her options why can't I?" Annie shrugs.

"Did your mom ever tell you not to follow the crowd? Especially when that crowd is Johanna Mason."

"Hey," I can't help but say that with a smile.

"What? It's true," Peeta says causally.

"Umm, guys?" My attention goes back to Annie and so does Peeta's. "This is between Finnick and me. I would like it to stay that way. In other words, no meddling!"

"We don't meddle," Peeta states offended and I nod in agreement.

"Oh, please. You two are the king and queen of meddling." Annie grins. "Peeta is the one who told Gale to make his move on you already."

"What?" My head snaps in Peeta's direction.

"Thanks a lot, Annie. Last time I tell you anything."

Annie shrugs carelessly.

"Peeta," I say this name between my clenched teeth.

"I told him to tell you, not kiss you. Don't blame me for this, I was only trying to help," Peeta says in his defense.

I don't respond seeing as Gloss and a girl I can only assume is his sister are about to walk past our table. The girl looks like a barbie doll. Blonde hair with waves and curves any girl would kill for, even me. She walks as if she's on a runway modeling that gorgeous summer dress she has on. She as pretty as her brother and probably as cocky.

She and Gloss stop in front of us, his eyes on Annie and hers on Peeta.

"Hi," she breathes out. "I'm Cashmere."

"Hi, I'm Peeta." He smiles at her.

"I don't know if my darling brother told you, but you're more than welcome to come by the party Friday."

"He told us. I'll be there."

"Great. Can't wait. Save me a dance, gorgeous." She winks and walks away with her brother.

Great. Peeta's going from Glimmer to this girl. I think I liked Glimmer better.

"Slut," I mumble under my breath.

No one hears me.
