Peeta's POV
"What a way to charm a woman," Rye jokes.
"Shut up," I mutter and close the bakery.
"She's a tough nut to crack, that Katniss," Dad says as he closes the cash register.
" What happend, anyway?" Wheat asks.
"Marvel came earlier and he didn't want to leave. Katniss told him that she'd hang out with him and he asked if they'd be alone and she said yes." I say." After her shift ended, I told her what Marvel does with every girl and she got mad. I thought it was because of what I said about Marvel but it wasn't."
"Then what was she so pissed about?" Rye asks.
"She said that she just said that to get him out of here." I say." Then she yelled that she's not a slut and stormed out the bakery."
"Goodluck trying to get her out on a date." Rye laughs.
"Boys," Dad scolds.
"Pete, you can have any piece of ass but you choose this bitchy, seventeen year old girl?" Wheat asks.
"Wheat," Dad glares at him.
"She's not bitchy, She's just angry about something," I glare at Wheat.
"What?" He grins." I never said I didn't like her."
Katniss's POV
The Next day..
I eat my food in silence and feel Mom glancing at me every few minutes.
"Katniss-" She begins.
"You don't need to explain anything," I glare at her from across the table. "I perfectly understand."
"We're really sorry," Prim looks at me with her blue sorrow-filled eyes. I wonder how many people fall for that trap.
"You must be so sorry," I snort and shake my head.
I pick up my fork and start to eat.
...
"Good morning, Katniss!" Mr. Mellark greets.
"Mr. Mellark," I nod and head towards the back to clock in.
When I get to the back, I see that Peeta is kneading dough with Finnick.
"Look what we have here, Pete." Finnick lets out a whistle." Ms. Malcolmson's oldest daughter."
"Look what we have here, two horny ass eighteen year old boys," I say before I clock in.
"BURN!" I hear Wheat and Rye yell.
I tie and apron around myself and say," What am I doing today?"
"Wait, you work here?" Finnick asks.
"Got a problem?" I raise a brow and cross my arms.
"Just curious," He shrugs his shoulders.
"You'll be working the register," Peeta informs.
I avoid his gaze and head to the front.
...
"How many calories does this have?" The blonde points to a cupcake.
This blonde has been here for nearly twenty minutes, pointing at every single pastry and asking about it's calories.
I pinch the nose of my bridge and look at her," Look you idiot, you came to a bakery so expect some high calories on everything. Either you buy something or get the fuck out and buy a salad at the salad bar down the street."
She glares at me and walks out.
"Someone needs to get laid," Rye laughs.
" Go fuck yourself," I mutter and lean on the counter.
The bakery bell rings and three college students enter. One is a boy who has grey eyes and brown hair, Then there's two girls; one has short brown, spiky hair and brown eyes, The other one has reddish- brown hair with green eyes. The boy is about six feet tall, The girl with brown is has to be about 5'7 and the girl with green eyes can't be more than 5'4.
"Hi Rye!" the girl with green eyes, runs up to Rye and gives him a bear hug.
"Hey Annie," He hugs her back.
Annie, Cato mentioned her at the carnival. It's what got finnick angry.
"Who are you?" The girl with spiky hair asks.
"None of your damn buisness," I reply.
She smirks and says," I like this one."
"I'm Gale," The guy says." That's Johanna."
"Lovely," I give him a tight smile.
"Aren't you feisty," He laughs.
"You mean bitchy," I rephrase his word.
He laughs and says," We're going to get along just fine."
"Gale, Johanna, Annie!" I hear Peeta yell in joy.
"Annie!" I hear finnick yell.
"What- No love for us, Odair?" I hear Johanna ask.
I keep my face straight forward and wait for more customers. They're obviously having a reunion of some sort, and I'm known to end happiness right on spot.
...
I close up the bakery and walk towards the back.
I clock out and take off my apron. After I let my hair out of its pony tail, I give my head a small shake to let my hair loose.
"That's quite a show you gave us," I hear Finnick say.
I turn around and find him, Peeta, Gale, Wheat, and Rye staring at me. Peeta tries to look away to make is seem like he wasn't staring.
"Stop it," Annie smacks the back of his head.
I walk towards the exit but I hear a soft voice.
"Katniss, wait," I hear Peeta say.
"I'm going home," I open the door.
"I'm sorry about yesterday," He apologizes.
"What did I say yesterday? I told you not to feed me lies," I turn to him.
"This isn't a lie, it's an apology," He says." I didn't intend for what I said to sound the way you took it. I was trying to warn you about Marvel-"
"Will you quit talking about him like if I'm going to sleep with him," I glare at him.
"Sorry, I just- Look, I'm really sorry, ok." He apologizes.
"How do I know if this is an acutal apology or you trying to save your reputation," I place a hand on my hip.
"It's an apology," He looks at me with sincerity.
"I would've believed it if you didn't apologize in front of all your friends and siblings," I step out the bakery.
He's just trying to save his damn reputation, just like everyone.
