Strangers in all of us…
Peeta just found out Katniss had been speaking to Finnick. Katniss doesn't know how he is going to react.
Chapter 2.
I was worried to look at Peeta because I didn't know what he would think of me. But when he spoke he didn't even have a hint of resentment or disappointment.
"So what was he like Katniss? Is he as charming as people say he is?" He spoke to me with a sarcastic smile on his face. This reassured me that everything was ok between us. So I smiled back at him, relieved inside. I hate to disappoint Peeta. He has done so much for me and I have done so little. He doesn't deserve what I do to him. I feel like im playing with his feelings but it's the only way to tell the truth but keep everyone safe at the same time, being in a fake relationship with Peeta.
"Well he was definitely sure of himself and way too confident."
Peeta gave a small chuckle before returning to search for food in the cupboards. At this point the room was quiet and I peered over at Haymitch who was struggling with a bottle in his hand to get something out of his pocket.
"I forgot. We have a note from 'President Snothead' himself." Haymitch and Peeta had the same feelings towards Snow as I did. Just in different perspectives.
"President Snow? He wrote us a letter?" Effie placed a beaming smile on her face moved closer to Haymitch. He read it aloud:
To my newest victors, I hope that your tour has gone pleasantly. You have done your district and your families proud. As many have done in previous years, I hope that the years for you to come are fair and enjoyable. The world seems to take a liking to your influences and see you as a somewhat inspiration. Just remember… We will always be watching
Yours sincerely
President Snow.
I dropped my face and went to my room straight away. I didn't know which one was mine but I think I found the right one. Straight up the stairs, down the hallway on the right, very last room. I burst through the door and swung it shut behind me. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack, my heart was pounding. I hated that letter. Snow basically told me that I was now his puppet and if I didn't do what he wanted than my district, my friends, and my family. And prim… they would all disappear. I knew I needed to be more believable. I sat on the edge of the bed and pondered about my situation.
I'm Katniss Everdeen. I'm seventeen years old and survived the 74th hunger games. Now, the lives of everyone I care about all depend on me. People in the districts are fighting, people are dying. All because of me and some stupid berries…
My thoughts are broken by a knocking on my door. Effie walks in and calls my name.
"Katniss dear? We will be having dinner in about an hour. Cinna will be here soon. He will dress you up beautifully. We have a visitor. First impressions mean everything. Well in your case second." Effie smiled cheekily again. I frowned at her in curiosity.
"A visitor? Who is it?"
"Mr. Finnick Odair can you believe it!" She almost squealed at speaking his name then closed the door behind her.
I couldn't believe it. What was I going to do? Runaway? No. I couldn't. I had to do it. I had to put up with it. I just kept telling myself, you won't be alone. But I could help but feel sick. I still had to have dinner with the sex symbol of the capitol. I had to have dinner with Finnick Odair…
Sorry this chapter is so short. But I would really like to know if I should continue this or not because im not sure if its good enough but please review and let me know.
