Mystery Voice

This story is not connected to Fire Daisies or Panem High.

The songs in this story are not really sung or written by Katniss, but just let it go. She writes them in this story.

Katniss' POV

I ran towards my dorm.

I had just told my best friend that we were in love.

How screwed up am I?

As I walked into the dorm, Johanna was standing, looking at me with her hands on her hips. Annie was sitting on her bed quietly like the person she is.

"So, I see we've been running off with best friend-or should I say boyfriend-here, hmm?" Johanna asked.

I sighed. There was no hiding from my best friends, after all.

"Yes, okay?" I groaned.

"So you like him?" Annie asked gently.

"Sure," I merely grunted.

"He's been friendzoned for a while now, Brainless." Johanna rolled her eyes.

I really wanted to sing right now.

When I get stressed, I sing. All of my feelings just wash out. Thankfully Johanna knows already because she's so nosy so I won't have to hide my songbook.

I began to flip through my songbook, a small faded worn-out leather thing.

"What's all that?" Annie asked in her small voice.

"I sing," I simply replied.

"She's a good producer too. And she shoots arrows like she was born to kill." Johanna smiled proudly. "But you tell anyone and expect for it to be the worst year of your life." Annie and Johanna burst into a fit of laughter. I just raised my eyebrows at them.

"That's cool, Katniss. Hey, Johanna and I were going to go check out the campus. Want to come?" Annie asked.

"I'm good. Peeta's brothers attended this place, so I guess he'll show me around."

"I'm offended!" Johanna gasped in mock seriousness.

"I bet you are," I rolled my eyes, and set my boards up on a foldable table. That way, when we had visitors, I could just stuff the whole thing under the beds.

"Okay," Annie giggled. "We'll be going. See you later, Katniss." They walked out the door.

Peeta's POV

My phone started to ring my message tone.

I looked into the screen.

Katniss: can u show me around campus?

Was this a date?

I told her sure and made my way over to her dorm. I knocked first. Katniss answered. She was holding a black book in her hand.

"What's that?" I asked.

You sound like Annie. That's all Katniss said. She tossed the book onto a couch and stepped outside.

"Let's go," Katniss grunted.

Katniss changes her emotions so suddenly.

"Sure," I gave her a bright smile. No use for both of us to be grumpy.

We walked out of the building. I headed towards the medical building first because that was closest.

"This is the District 12 Academy Medical-" Katniss shoved me into the building.

When I was about to ask why, I saw Katniss though the window, outside, talking to Gale.

Katniss' POV

I pushed Peeta into the Medical whatever because I saw Gale coming.

"Hey, Catnip."

"Gale."

"Why, aren't you glad to see me? Or is Frosting Princess Number Three being favored?"

"Stop calling Peeta that. His name is Peeta."

"Fine, fine. I believe you," Gale smirked.

"When did you get so annoying?" I sighed.

Gale's face then turned dead serious.

"We can try again, you know,"

Peeta's POV

I couldn't hear their whole conversation, but the thing I heard was this;

Frosting Princess Number Three.

Then I saw Gale's face dangerously close to Katniss', and my eggshell broke. I casually walked out of the building and pretended to notice Katniss just then.

"Oh! Hey, Katniss," I smiled. "And Gale," I added flatly. Gale pulled away.

"Oh, um, Gale..." Katniss gave Gale an overly innocent smile. "I have to go. Peeta and I were just grabbing lunch together."

Gale tried to keep his calm but failed miserably.

"Bye, Gaaaaale!" Katniss gushed. Then she ran up to me and intertwined our fingers. We walked off. When I was pretty sure Gale was out of view, Katniss still didn't let go.

A phone started to ring, and it was Katniss'.

She checked her phone.

"Oh my God, sorry, Peeta. I've got to go." Katniss looked at me apologetically.

I was kind of hoping we could do lunch. Seriously.

"No, it's fine."

"Walk me to my dorm?"

"I'm not even going to answer that question."

Sorry for the boring chapter. Next chapter is the singing chapter!
