Chapter 2
So Johanna made it a routine to come to our apartment every day, and I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the extra company, but it's just….
"Seriously, Katniss, you and Peeta are meant to be!" she says.
Yeah, that. Why won't she stop? She just saw Peeta the other day and now she thinks we're the perfect couple! She'll pay! Maybe later though, because tomorrow is the first day of December and we're going back home to celebrate Christmas.
…...
"Jo! Hurry up!" I call to Johanna who was lugging her suitcase behind her. We were at the airport and she was far behind. "We're gonna miss our flight!" I hiss. "Coming!" she groans.
We quickly board our flight and I sit next to Prim. Johanna's on the right wing and she was sitting next to a very familiar boy….Peeta! What was Peeta doing here? What?
"Peeta!" Johanna says, recognizing him. "Hey, Johanna," he mutters. My eyes grow wide as I stare at them. How do they know each other? "Hey Katniss," he says cheerfully to me. "Hey," I utter. Now we're flying with Peeta Mellark? Why is my life so terrible? Johanna will tease me when I get home, I just know it. She smirks at me and gives me a thumbs up.
You should've come here, she mouths. I roll my eyes. Oh hell no! I mouth back and Johanna smirks again.
The flight takes off and I'm left staring at Johanna who grins at me every five seconds. Peeta sits there sketching the sky on a sketchpad. "That's lovely," Johanna says, turning to him occasionally. "Katniss loves stuff like that," she says and I shoot her a glare. She shrugs.
Peeta's eyes light up at the mention of me. Could Jo be right? About him liking me? If that's the case– I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF THAT'S THE CASE!
So I pull out my phone, put on my headphones, and listen to some music. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep until Prim shakes me awake. "The sunset!" she points out the window. I nod. It was beautiful flying through the sunset. I turn to Peeta, whose face was glued to the window. He must really like the sunset. Or really love the sunset. Johanna glances up at me, smirking, and I turn away instantly. What's with her? I don't like Peeta. I don't love Peeta. I don't hate him either, though. Should I hate him? Well, we're in between of hate and like. No one could hate Peeta no matter how much they wanted to. He's just too sweet! Oh no, am I falling for him? No, it can't be. Johanna's wrong about that.
I turn to Johanna again and Peeta's looking at me. He blushes and turns away. Johanna grins at this. I glare at her again. Why does she care?
"Katniss, when do we land?" Prim asks. "Ten more hours, Primmy," I say. She nods and settles to go back to sleep. I gently trace my finger along her braid and undo my own. Prim and I almost always braid. I redo my own braid and once again, catch Johanna sneaking grins at me. I roll my eyes. That's Johanna for you. Annoying when she doesn't need to be. She's Johanna after all.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo…what did you think? I know you're probably really mad at me for not getting Katniss to sit next to Peeta, but there'll be more Everlark in the next chapters. While you wait for more chapters from this story, I urge you to go and read Are They Real? It has a couple of great mysteries ;)
Well, see you, Readers!
