Katniss's POV
"Okay, I love you," Johanna says into her phone as I grit my teeth. It's one a.m.. "You should hang up now. We have to work tomorrow." Her boyfriend says something. "Remy, no, I'm not doing this stupid hang up game. We're not fifteen years old." He says something else. "This isn't funny. It's stupid and pointless." She's laughing anyway.
"I think I'll hang up," I snatch the phone away from her and press end.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" she shouts at me. "That's an iPhone4S! It's expensive!"
"I'm a freaking teacher! I need sleep! I can't have you talking about useless nonsense until one a.m.!" I yell back.
"God, you're such a bitch," she screams at me.
"Would you both shut the fuck up?" Gale swings open the door followed by Peeta. These walls are paper-thin! You're screaming woke us up!"
Johanna leans against the door frame. "I cannot de al with lil' miss perfect anymore! Will one of you please switch rooms with me?"
"Yeah, right," I scoff. "You act like I'm the problem!"
"You're both the problem," Peeta yells at us. "I care about sleep, so I'll switch with you!"
"Fine," Johanna stalks out of the room.
"Fine," I call back.
Finnick POV
"RUN!"
I yawn and walk over to Annie's bed. She's having another nightmare. Once or twice every night, she'll be thrashing and muttering, "Run, Jason, run!"
I gently shake her shoulder. "Annie, wake up. It's just another bad dream." Whenever she has a dream like this, I wake her up. I don't want her to have to go through it.
She opens her eyes and wipes a few tears away. "Did I wake you, again?" she asks.
"Yeah, but don't worry about it," I tell her. "I don't mind much."
"What time is it?" she questions.
"About 5:30," I frown as I look at my phone.
"Well, I might as well get up," she pushes the covers away and walks into the bathroom. She turns on the shower and, after a few minutes, I go in as well.
Annie has the shower curtain pulled so I can only vaguely see her shadow. I brush my teeth and look in the mirror. I try to flatten my hair a bit, but it doesn't work well, so I just walk downstairs and into the kitchen. I make myself some black coffee.
I sit at the kitchen table and wait for someone to come downstairs. Annie comes down a few minutes later and gets a glass of orange juice.
"How do you drink black coffee?" Annie asks as she sits down next to me. "It's disgusting. You should try some cream and sugar with it."
"Men drink black coffee. Women drink coffee with cream and sugar," I shrug.
"You did not just say that," she laughs and takes my coffee from me. She grabs vanilla creamer from the fridge and pours some of it in. Then, she puts a packet of splenda in it."
"Stir it and then sip," she instructs.
I do and immediately see that she's right. "Fine, men no longer only drink black coffee."
"Good, Finnick," she jokes.
"I'm not a dog," I remind her and she chuckles.
Peeta's POV
I crawl out of bed at 6:30 and wake up Johanna. "We have to switch our stuff." We quickly move all our belongings to the other room and then I go downstairs.
"Peeta," Finnick says as soon as I get down the steps. "Go make some food!"
I walk into the kitchen and start baking breakfast. "How long have you guys been down here?" I ask them.
"About an hour and a half," Annie informs me.
"Why did you get up so early?" I put the dough in the oven.
"Nightmare," Finnick replies.
"You had a nightmare?" I ask him, a bit confused.
"Annie did," he clarifies. "I don't dream."
"Actually, you dream hundreds of times every night," Katniss comes into the kitchen. "You just don't remember them."
"Know-it-all," Johanna's right behind her.
"Johanna, you always sleep in. What are you doing up?" Finnick asks her.
"Peeta woke me up so I could move my stuff out of his room," she makes herself some black coffee.
"She drinks black coffee," Annie looks at Finnick.
"You won, Annie. We already established that," he leans back in his chair.
I pour a glass of milk and take a sip before pulling the croissants out of the oven. "Breakfast is ready," I put the pan on the table. "It's hot."
"Gale, food's ready," Johanna calls up the stairs. "Wake up!"
I grab a croissant and take a bite. "What time is it?" I ask.
"7 o'clock," Annie tells me.
"Shit," I mutter. "I have to go. I'm gonna be late for work."
Gale's POV
"Where is everyone?" I ask Finnick and Annie.
"At work," Finnick tells me.
"What about you guys?" I question.
"The pool's closed," Annie says. "It's my bosses daughter's birthday."
"The beach is cloudy," Finnick replies.
"Oh. Do you guys want to go to the hardware store with me?" I ask them.
"Sure," they say in unison.
We all get dressed and leave. "What hardware store are we going to?" Annie asks me.
"This one my friend told me about. It's kind of small but it has a lot of good stuff," I inform them. "Only four people work there on a daily basis."
"Sounds cool," Finnick says from the backseat. "What do you need anyway?"
"I need to get some wood cut for a friend," I tell them.
In a few minutes, we get to the store. "Hey, guys," Johanna says.
"Hey, Johanna," I say before thinking. "Wait. Johanna?"
"Yeah," I look over at her as she looks at me like an idiot. "What do you need?"
"Um . . . to get some wood cut," I tell her.
"Remy does that," she says. "I'll show you wear he is."
"Remy?" I ask. "As in your boyfriend?"
"Yeah." She leads us to the back of the store and to a man with shaggy, auburn hair. "Remy, this is Finnick, Gale, and Annie. They're some of my roommates. They need you to cut something."
She walks away and Remy tilts his head at the three of us. "So you are her roommates?" he questions.
"Some of them," Annie answers, "Peeta and Katniss are working."
"Yeah?" he's not looking at Annie though. He keeps his gaze locked on Finnick and occasionally glances at me.
"I'm gonna go talk to Johanna," Annie picks up on the fact that she isn't wanted here.
As soon as she's out of hearing range he leans forward. "If either of you lay a finger on her I will rip your throats out!"
"Who?" Finnick asks. "Annie?"
"Don't be a dumbass. Jo!" he clarifies and I chuckle.
"You don't have anything to worry about," I reassure him. "If you didn't know, your girlfriend's a bit of a bitch."
"I know that," he growls. "Some men like that!"
"Look, Johanna can take care of herself," Finnick crosses his arms.
"Plus, she wouldn't cheat on you. She drove Katniss so insane talking to you, that she had to switch beds with Peeta," I inform him.
"So, now she's sharing a room with you?!" he's practically hissing at us.
"Yeah, and Finnick shares a room with Annie and Peeta shares with Katniss," I say. "Now, can I please get some wood cut?"
Johanna's POV
"Are they both strait?" Dustin asks when I get back to him.
"Dustin!" I exclaim, "What's wrong with you?!"
"How about bi?" he asks and we both laugh.
"Sorry, you're out of luck," I tell him and turn back to my work.
"Johanna, did you make this?" I look up and see Annie looking at a carving I made. I didn't see her come over.
"Yeah," I tell her. "Do you like it?"
"It's gorgeous," she says. "How do you do this?"
I shrug. "Practice."
"Why do you call her Johanna?" Dustin asks Annie. "Everyone else calls her Jo."
"You, Ian, and Remy are the only ones who call me Jo," I remind him. "I've told you that many times."
"Oh. Well, you should start going by Jo," he says.
"I like Jo," Annie sits down in a chair next to me. "I'm going to make everyone call you Jo."
I sigh. "Fine. From now on, my name is Jo."
