Hey, sorry it took me so long to update. I had serious writer's block. But here it is! Enjoy! :)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own The Hunger Games :(
Peeta's P.O.V.
I watched Marvel walk up to Glimmer. "Glimmer, can we talk?" I heard him say. I was hiding by the lockers about a foot away from the couple.
"Sure, Marvel. What's up?" she said flirtatiously.
"Things really aren't working out between us and I think we need to break up. I'm not going to lie and tell you it's not you because it is you," he said. Glimmer gasped. With that Marvel walked away from a shocked Glimmer. Now it was my turn.
I walked up to Glimmer. I took a glance to make sure Katniss was standing where she was supposed to. Good, she's talking to Annie by her locker. I looked back at Glimmer. "Glimmer, we need to talk," I said. She looked very hopeful when I said that. 'Wow, perky for someone who just got dumped,' I thought.
"Yes, Peeta?" she said stepping closer to me.
"I realized how much you mean to me and I would like to take you out. But, I have a few conditions," I said.
"And what might those be?"
"You have to be completely loyal. You can't start hitting on guys like you were to me while you were dating Marvel," I said.
"Okay, and?"
"You can't complain when you see me with other girls. I know how jealous you girls get. I'm always completely loyal," I said. Is she really believing my horrible acting?
"I know you are. I agree to all your conditions. See you at the smoothie place after school," she said and walked away. I looked to Katniss just before Glimmer was about to pass her.
"I would love to go out with Peeta but I heard he has two girlfriends already," I heard Katniss say to Annie just as Glimmer walked by. Glimmer definitely heard. I could tell by the way she tensed up. When Glimmer was out of earshot, I ran over to Katniss and Annie and gave them both a high five. I admit I wish I could have kissed Katniss but she's still healing.
Katniss's P.O.V.
So far, so good. Glimmer has been giving me glares all afternoon; she is practically an extra sleeve on Peeta's arm – I admit, I'm a little jealous –; and she gets tense every time a girl talks to Peeta. We talked to all the girls we know to say hi to Peeta at every moment they can.
"So, how jealous are you that Glimmer hasn't let Peeta out of her sight since she heard you?" Johanna asked as I was grabbing my science book.
"I'm not jealous. I know I like him, but Peeta is faking. I know he hates her; everyone does," I replied. Johanna just laughed.
"Katniss, Katniss, Katniss. You really are jealous. You just won't admit it." I slapped her arm and closed my locker. I saw Peeta and Glimmer walking down the hall.
'Calm down, Katniss. It's fake,' I said to myself. Okay, I'm very jealous. "Okay, I'm jealous," I said.
"I knew it!" Johanna exclaimed.
"Okay, so I think we should book a famous musician for the party. I mean, you only turn 16 once. Might as well make it great," Madge was saying. I was waiting for Peeta so we could start part 2 of Operation: Give Glimmer a Piece of Her Own Medicine (Madge named it).
"Whatever," I said just as I noticed Peeta walked in.
"Katniss," he said walking to our table, "we should sit by the window so Glimmer would notice us immediately. The rest of you should hide."
"Wait, here. Put these in your ears so we can give you advice and let you know when she walks in," Annie said. She held out two ear pieces. Peeta and I grabbed them and put them in our ear. We walked to the couch by the window and I sat down.
"I'll get some smoothies," he said. He went to the counter and ordered.
"In my ear piece, I heard Gale say, "Glimmer is approaching the smoothie place. I repeat: Glimmer is approaching the smoothie place." Peeta walked back to the couch and gave me my drink. We both took a sip before I heard Annie say something in the ear piece.
"Peeta, put your arm around her. Glimmer has to believe this. Katniss, lie your head on his shoulder," she said. Peeta and I did as she said.
We weren't looking at the door when Finnick said, "Glimmer has walked through the door." I snuggled more into Peeta's shoulder.
"She sees you," Marvel said.
"She doesn't believe it. She's onto us. Kiss," Madge said. Peeta and I looked at each other.
"Should we?" I asked.
"It might make her stop hitting on me," Peeta replied. We started leaning in. Then our lips met.
So I'm going to end the chapter there. I hope you enjoyed it. It will be my birthday in a few days so I may not update until later this week. Please review! I love hearing all your feedback.
Will that kiss affect anything? What will Glimmer think?
