Chapter 12
(Katniss POV)
(1 Week later)
Nightmares of Gale still plague my mind at night but just like he promised Peeta is always here during the day I haven't been to school over the past week and now it's Saturday.
*beep beep*
I pick up my phone and read the text I got
Finnick
Mini Party my place just us victors me and Peeta are doing Pickup's text back ASAP
I contemplate going but before I come to a decision I get a Skype call on my laptop.
"Hey Peeta" I say when his video comes up. He smiles at me and I smile back.
"Het Kat okay so I know that your deciding whether or not to go to Finnick's mini Party or not and I'm gonna tell you now You are going no choice and I'm picking you, Johanna and Jackson up and Finnick is picking up Annie, Delly, Thom and Madge. I'll be there at 8pm okay?"
"Fine"
He smiles and so do I. My mum calls me to dinner. "Well I've got to go if I want to eat dinner and make myself look pretty" I'm about to end the call when he says one last thing
"You always look pretty Katniss. Always" And then he ends the call. I feel flutters in my stomach and something I've never felt before. I sit there staring at the Skype screen.
I'm snapped out of my daze when Prim comes up to tell me to hurry up and I sigh and walk down to the dining room with her.
My mother made Mac 'n' cheese which is Prim's favourite. I sit in silence thinking about what to wear when I remember the fashionista I'm sitting next to. "Hey Prim I need your help after dinner. I'm going to a friend's house and we're having like a mini party just me and my friends. Fancy helping me find something to wear?"
Her face lights up. "Yeah I'd love to!" she says and eats her Mac 'n' cheese really quickly. I laugh at her excitement.
I feel my mother's eyes boring into the back of my skull and turn my attention to her. She's been a lot more concerned about me since I told her about Gale. "How many people are going? And will there be alcohol?"
"Erm... there's hopefully going to be 8 other people besides me if everyone can come. Oh wait... 10 because Peeta told me that there are these new twins at school and Finnick invited them to our group. So ten people, eleven including me and no there won't be alcohol we're all only 17"
"Okay, do you want to borrow the car?"
"Nah its okay Peeta's picking me up but thanks"
I finish my dinner and me and Prim run up stairs to my room. She looks through all my clothes throwing loads onto the floor. If it was anyone else I would have snapped already. I hate mess and I know my desk and locker and everything is cluttered with mess but I can't stand having everything on the floor. Finally she stops and turns to me "okay Katniss these are all your pretty- casual clothes. I was thinking maybe these" She holds up my pair of shorts "with either a white tank?" top and or that top- where is it? - The greeny blue one with the hand making the peace sign" She throws clothes around looking for the top.
"This one" I say holding the top in question up.
"Yeah, it's pretty but not to dressy it's perfect and looks amazing" she says and then puts all my other clothes back. I lay the clothes on my bed and help her put my clothes away.
"I'm gonna go for the peace top" I say looking at the clock. 7pm, one hour to get ready. "I should get ready then"
"Yeah!" she says "Katniss you're going to look amazing. Okay so put your hair in a braid and put some mascara, eye-liner and a bit of lip gloss. Don't overdo it but it should look great!"
She heads towards the door but before she goes I say "thanks Prim" she turns round, smiles at me and then walks off to her room. I get dressed and apply minimal make up and before I know it, its 7:55. I slip on some trainer socks and put my black converse on. I grab my phone and keys and jog downstairs. "I'm gonna wait outside for Peeta he should be here soon. See you guys later!" I call. I hear prim yell 'Bye Katniss have fun!' down the stairs and my mother's head pops out the kitchen.
"Be safe and have a nice time"
"I will mom" I say back, walking out the door. I sit on the wall in front of our house to wait for Peeta.
I take my phone out and see I have a message. My heart sinks and a frown takes over my face when i see who sent it. I was hoping for Peeta or Finnick or at least Johanna but no it was Gale. Just my luck.
The message read: Hey Katniss. Look I'm really sorry for how I acted. I was a jerk and I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me. Call me. Please
I feel a tear stroke across my face but before it's even half way down my face a sleek black land rover stops in front of me. I see Peeta in the driver's seat and he gets out of the car.
"Hey Kat" then he sees the tear on my cheek and frowns "what's up Kat? Is it Gale? What did he do?" I just show him the message. He takes my phone out of my hand and starts typing something.
"What are you doing?" He shows me my phone and I see another message sent from my phone it says Gale you're a son of a bitch and Katniss deserves more than your sorry excuse for an apology. Leave Kat alone she doesn't need you. She's stronger than that. Peeta
"Thanks Peeta" I say turning my phone off and shoving it in my pocket. He wipes the tear away. I stand up and he leads me to the passenger side of the car and opens the door for me.
"Your chariot awaits Princess Katniss" he says giving me his hand to climb into the car. I smile as he closes the door after me and jogs to his side of the car and climbs in. He starts the car and we start on our way to Johanna's house.
We argue over music until I find my favourite song 'unpredictable' by 5 seconds of summer. "I love this song!" I shout really loud and turn the song up a bit. I sing along to the song

Eddie Never went nowhere
He stayed at home and play his X-Box
He read too many comics
He watched too much TV
Then somehow it got around
That his parents would be out of town
And so they all decided
That he should have a party
Climbing through the windows
They were jumping off the roof
They were diving in the pool
Until he finally let loose
He said tonight I'm superhero
Watch me fly I'll never get low
And I won't come down again
(No no no)
Tonight I'm superhero
I'm about to lose my halo
I wanna do it again
He had never got any
But this is the night his luck would change
She wore those thick black glasses
But she was so sexy
Then they started throwin' bottles
Partied 'til they trashed the whole house
But he just did care though
Cuz he was finally happy
She met him on the staircase
Like Kent and Lois Lane
They started making out and it would never be the same
He said tonight I'm superhero
Watch me fly I'll never get low
And I won't come down again
(No no no)
Tonight I'm superhero
I'm about to lose my halo
I wanna do it again
Neighbours came at midnight screaming
Turn that music down
They said where the hell is Eddie
He was nowhere to be found
He said tonight I'm superhero
Watch me fly I'll never get low
And I won't come down again
He said tonight I'm superhero
Watch me fly I'll never get low
And I won't come down again
(No no no)
Tonight I'm superhero
I'm about to lose my halo
I wanna do it again
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
I was so caught up in the song that I didn't notice we had stopped and I didn't notice Peeta's stare pure joy and contentment in his eyes. Until now.
"Wow! You're amazing Kat!" he says still staring at me. I blush deeply not meaning for anyone to hear me sing. There's another emotion visible in his eyes, something I've never known before nothing I've ever felt.
"Umm...thanks I'm not really but...umm...Yeah ...thanks" I say stuttering.
He laughs and I feel a smile creep onto my face. He starts the car again. "Yes you are Kat. I wouldn't lie to you. You're voice is incredible." I blush.
"Thank you Peeta... for everything. I don't really sing much since my father..." my voice trails off but he understands and we sit in a comfortable silence all the way to Johanna's house.
