Chapter 12- Marvel & Gloss

Glimmer's POV-

Clove and I were walking down the halls to the cafeteria, when I saw Madge asking Cato and Peeta if they have any crushes, so I snatched Clove aside.

"What's your problem?" She snapped at me quietly.

I pointed to where Madge and the boys were talking.

Soundlessly, she nodded and started listening.

"So…" Madge started to say. "You guys have any crushes yet?"

I craned my head, suddenly intrigued by the question."Uh, no, w-why?" Peeta stuttered.

Ha, liar.

"Yeah... I mean no. Why'd you ask?" Cato questioned.

Make that two liars.

Madge started snickering.

Clove and I looked at each other curiously.

"What?" We faintly heard come out of the guy's mouths.

"Peeta, you're always smooth with words. You never stutter unless you're lying, and Cato, you never mix up your words. You guys obviously have crushes." By now, you could practically hear both guys blushing.

Hmm…

"Ahaha!" Madge yelled, "You do have crushes! Who are they?"

It was clear Madge was pushing both guys to the brink. I wondered what brought this sudden interest in knowing their crushes on to Madge.

There was a few seconds of tense and ridged silence.

"On three," Cato stated.

"One..." Madge said.

"Two..."

Oh who is it already!?

"Three!"

"Katniss," They said softly, making their voices almost unrecognizable

I let out a small squeal, but covered my mouth and slid to the floor to avoid being seen.

Clove helped me off the ground, her body stiff from the shock.

After the three had entered the cafeteria, we strutted down the hall, our minds reeling from the information.

Finnick's POV

Gale, Johanna, Annie and I were the only in the lunchroom from our group so far. I was ravishing my butter tart when Madge, Cato, and Peeta entered the room; Peeta and Cato blushing, and Madge trying to hold in a laugh.

After receiving their food, they joined us at the table and diverted their eye sight from anyone else's.

"What's going on? You okay?" I questioned, utterly perplexed by their moods.

"Nothing," Madge chirped. "Where's Katniss?"

At the mention of Katniss, both boys sneaked a glance around the room, and then glared at the other.

"So, I here that cheer leading tryouts are this afternoon Annie," Madge stated. "We should totally try out! Glimmer, Clove, Johanna and Katniss too!"

Johanna choked on her food. "Excuse me!?" She shrieked. "I am not dressing up in a short dress to cheer for a stupid team, thank you very much."

Madge put on her pouty face. "It would be so much more fun with the six of us on the team."

"Whatever," Jo muttered, not trying to cover her disinterests in the situation.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," I smirked, glancing at her.

"Shut up Fin." She spits out poisonously, her eyes staring boring holes into mine.

I threw my hands up in surrender. "Didn't mean to offend you. Sorry"

She barked a laugh, and continued picking at her food in disgust.

Clove and Glimmer entered the room not long after and sat down across from Cato and Peeta.

They picked up their food and slowly eat it, never letting their eyes trail away from the boys.

We ate in silence for about ten minutes before Katniss entered the room with… Marvel?

Clove, Glimmer, Madge, Cato, and Peeta all stared at her.

They got in the food line, and after a while came over to join us.

Both sat down, and Katniss looked around the table noticing five people staring at her, shifting uncomfortably.

"Uh…Why's everyone staring at me?" She asked with a quizzical look appearing on her face.

The five of them shook their and stared at their food. "Nothing," They answered in unison

"Okay…" Katniss murmured and started devouring her taco.

"Well someone's hungry there," I stated cheekily.

"I'm sorry I missed breakfast okay." She managed to mumble, her mouth full from food.

"Oh yeah. What happened?"

She stared over my shoulder, and turned mute.

That's when I noticed the bruise on her cheek.

Katniss's POV

"Oh yeah. What happened?" Finnick nonchalantly asked.

I vacantly stare over Finnick's shoulder, remembering what happened.

~Flashback~

I shoved my key in my pocket after locking the door to my dorm. Madge left without me this morning to let me get some more sleep.

I made my way down the hallway. When I was just about to turn the corner, someone came barreling down the hallway and hit my cheek with their fist.

I screamed in shock, and dropped to the floor. When the mystery person seemed to realize who I was, they yelped and said, "Oh my God! I'm so sorry!"

She bent down and helped me up.

"I was just hurrying to my friend's room. And I was kind of in a rush."

"It's okay." I replied. "It's just a bruise. It'll heal."

"Okay! You should get some ice on that. Bye!"

Then she ran down the hall without giving me time to even blink.

I continued on my way to the elevator when I heard hushed voices from the end of the hall. I walked faster, following the voices, and found myself watching an interesting scene.

Gloss and Marvel were talking... About me.

I stood still as I listened intently to their conversation.

"I just want to take Katniss to lunch, okay? What's the big deal?"

Marvel sighed. "Because I know that she'll say no, and that she's interested in you, Gloss. Why can't you just accept that?"

"Because you don't know that for sure, people change over time, and so do their feelings."

"She will never be yours or mine. Just leave her alone."

Then pushed Gloss lightly towards the wall.

Gloss opened his mouth to say something, but Marvel beat him to it. "Just leave her alone," he repeated.

I decided that now would be a good time to step in, so I walked over to the two of them. Marvel couldn't see me yet, seeing as his back was facing me, but Gloss' eyes widened. I crossed my arms, lifted my eyebrows and gave him a look.

"What?" Marvel questioned. Gloss inclined his head towards me in response. Slowly, Marvel turned his face to me and immediately let Gloss go. They both stared at me in shock.

"Katniss? How long have you been standing there?" Marvel asked timidly, his voice quiet.

"Long enough to know that you guys are fighting over me, which is beyond stupid by the way," I stated, giving theme each a look.

"Katniss, I can explain-" Gloss started speaking, snapping out of his trance.

Before he could finish, I walked over to Marvel and grabbed his arm, dragging him down the hall with me.

He seemed startled at first, but began moving his feet mechanically after a while.

I stopped at the elevator and turned to him.

"What the heck was that?" I pestered.

Marvel blinked and opened his mouth to respond, but shut immediately. After a moment or two, he spoke up. "I was trying to stop him from bugging you again, Katniss. Look, I'm sorry about what happened between us in the hall," he used his hand to quickly gesture between the two of us. "I don't know what came over me, and I swear it won't happen again." A flash of hope appeared across his face.

I analyzed him carefully. I did over react about that time in the hall, but I was just too shocked to do anything about it. He didn't really do anything wrong. Sighing, I said, "It's okay, I was the one who over reacted. Come on, let's go get some breakfast." I started to make my way down the hall, but when i didn't hear Marvel following me, I turned back around to him just standing there. "What?"

"Are you serious?"

"About what?"

Marvel's voice caught in his throat. "About me coming with you."

I smiled. "Yeah come on, you're part of the group."

Just then, the bell rang.

"Let's go to class." He gave me a warm smile, which I returned

~End of flashback~

"I woke up late." I lied.

What happened between Gloss and Marvel in the hall isn't something that everyone needs to know. All they need to know is that Marvie is forgiven.

Marvel's POV

I'm so happy that Katniss has put the whole incident behind us and that we both just plan to forget it.

"So…Marvel," Cato started, glaring at me. Cato switched out of the dorm and now I'm stuck with some nerd, Beetee, while Cato gets the awesome buff guy, Thresh.

"Why are you here?" Cato lowly hissed.

"Katniss brought me," I said solemnly.

He looked at Katniss flabbergasted and she just merely nodded.

After minutes of baffled stares, Peeta cleared his throat. It's obvious he's not happy about the situation either, but, being the civil person he is, decided to speak. "It's settled then. Whatever happened between Marvel and Katniss is forgotten."

More silence was greeted afterwards, except it wasn't too welcoming.

I picked at my food for the rest of the lunch and when the bell finally rang, I headed to the pool with the group since we all had free period.

A/N: So Katniss finally forgave Marvel. It took what? A two chapters? Next chapter will be their time at the pool.
