Snow day again. At this rate, I'm probably going to graduate eighth grade in August. Jk. Well, at least it gives me time to write. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: So, I didn't get the Hunger Games for my birthday, so I don't own it.

Annie's POV

"Finnick, if you're a better swimmer than me, then how come I finished five laps around the pool faster than you did last week?" I said.

"Because I let you win. And I like watching you swim," he replied flirtatiously. He pulled me closer as we walked to the Smoothie Kingdom. I gave him a kiss and we walked in. We saw Peeta and Katniss on the couch by the window. Peeta had his arm around Katniss and they were laughing.

"Hey, lovebirds," Finnick said as we walked over to them.

"Hey," Peeta said.

"How come you didn't tell us you were dating?" I asked with mock hurt.

"Because it just happened," Katniss said.

"We were at the hospital talking and she said she was ready for a relationship. We stayed there for a little while longer and then decided to come here," Peeta continued.

"Well, congrats you two. You have now joined me and Annie on the dating scene," Finnick said.

I sat down on the couch across from them while Finnick got some smoothies. When he came back, we talked about what we were doing for our history project and other random things. We heard the door open and I saw Katniss tense up and Peeta's grip around her tighten. I heard laughter from behind me and turned to the door. It was Jack and Glimmer. He had his arm around her.

"I guess being project partners made them closer," Finnick said just as I thought it. Glimmer turned to us and Finnick and I turned back to Katniss and Peeta. I could feel Glimmer giving Katniss and Peeta a death glare though my back.

"Hello, Peeta, Annie, Finnick," she said walking over. "Katniss," she said coldly. I could see Katniss tensing up. It seemed to get worse when Jack walked up.

"Hi, everyone. Katniss, I didn't know you were dating Peeta," Jack said.

"Sometimes I really wish I had a trident to attack them with," Finnick whispered to me. I giggled.

"What's so funny?" Glimmer asked turning to me.

"Nothing, just something Finnick and I joke about a lot." Glimmer seemed unsatisfied with my answer, but turned back to Katniss.

"So, when did you two start dating?" she asked Katniss and Peeta. I hope they remember the act from before.

"About a week," Peeta said. Phew!

"Did you ask her out before or after you asked me out?"

"After. I realized how much I loved her and didn't want to break your heart again after Marvel broke up with you," he said.

"Yes, and cheating on me with this loser was a better choice," Glimmer fired back.

"Katniss is not a loser," Peeta said defensively standing up. "You're the loser. The only people that actually like you are the ones you pay to like you. I never liked you. You are a stuck up, careless bitch." I had never heard Peeta talk like that. He really loves Katniss. I think everyone was surprised at Peeta's response. Especially Glimmer. Glimmer gasped and walked away. Once Jack had gone after Glimmer, Peeta sat down. We were all looking at him shocked. "What? She insulted my girlfriend. What did you expect me to do?"

Katniss leaned in and gave him a kiss. "Thank you," she said when she pulled away.

"No problem."

Peeta's POV

I didn't mean to blow up, but I couldn't help it. I wanted to protect Katniss. I love her and I hated hearing that said to her.

"Wow, you really love her, man," Finnick said when we got up to get refills of our smoothies.

"Yeah, more than anything. I can't imagine my life without her," I responded.

"How's her sister?"

"Not much better. She has appendicitis and more injuries. I'm really worried about how Katniss is reacting," I said.

"She has you. She'll be okay," Finnick said, "If you can protect her from Glimmer, I think you can help her through this."

"Thanks." We grabbed our smoothies and walked back to the couches.

"So, Peeta, can you make Katniss's birthday cake for her party?" Annie asked as I sat down and put my arm around Katniss.

"Sure, I would love to," I said kissing Katniss's cheek. She smiled. "Anything for my girl." Katniss blushed. She was so cute when she blushed.

"Great, another thing of the list of things Madge put me in charge of for Katniss's party. Cake," Annie said happily. Finnick chuckled at her excitement.

"So, I take it Madge is making her birthday a big deal and treating you like slaves," I said.

"Yes, she is being such a perfectionist for this party," Annie said. "It's driving us all crazy. Especially Katniss."

"Why?" Finnick asked. "Is she making the birthday girl work?"

"No," Katniss said, "I didn't want a big party. I was blackmailed into it."

"Blackmailed?" I said confused.

"Madge said if she has a big party, we would stop asking about Jack. Of course that was before we knew how bad he was," Annie replied.

"They ended up finding out Jack was an old family friend, but I'm stuck with a big party. But I really don't care anymore. She just keeps asking me things that are making me nervous," Katniss continued.

"Like what?" Finnick asked.

"Like if dinner should be smoked salmon or lobster," Katniss replied.

Glimmer's POV

I saw them still sitting at the couches, laughing. I will make sure Katniss and Peeta break up, no matter what it takes. Peeta calling me a bitch will not go unpunished. I will make sure he regrets every word he said to me and every moment he spent with Katniss.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review! I might do more of their friends' POVs to get their views on Katniss and Peeta's relationship. I might focus on Prim in the next chapter.
