I wander through the woods and arrive at the spot where me and Katniss were at yesterday to see Katniss waiting for me by the oak tree.
She's wearing a navy green denim jacket, black shirt, and white jeans. Her hair is tied into a braid falling over her left shoulder. Just the sight of those beautiful silver eyes made my knees buckles and my feet lock in place. She gives a small smile when she sees me and I command myself to walk towards her.
"You know, I'm dead when I get back to the castle. Yesterday, I thought my governess was going to hang me with her eyes right there," I tell her. She gives a small frown. "We can't meet in the day anymore so let's meet here at midnight," I suggest.
She nods and smiles wider than before. "I'll be waiting. You better get back to the castle though." She stands up and takes one of my hands. "See you at midnight. And I expect to be hearing more about you than myself," she says. She let's go, our eyes lock for a split second, and we go our seperate ways.
I was right, the whole castle had been practically turned upside down looking for me. Effie and Haymitch—my mentor-—run up to me (Effie still shuffling).
"Where were you boy?!" Haymitch asks.
"I went to go wake you up and you were gone. I thought that you had possibly went to breakfast early but you were nowhere to be found!" Effie exclaims. The way they're acting they kinda look like a mother and father. Now that I think about it, they act like a couple who is always annoyed with each other.
"I went for a walk," I lie.
"Where?" Haymitch demands.
This time I give half of the truth. "In the woods, near Sector 12." Haymitch looks at me suspiciously.
"We'll discuss this later," he says coldly and walks away.
Okay, just to be clear, I'm not the only one who ships Hayffie, right? Be sure she if I am I have some serious problems. Hope you liked the chapter! Even if it was short.
