Chapter 15- Makeover
Peeta-POV
I walked back to my dorm in complete shock. I can't believe it... she accepted. I made a mental note to go thank Clove and Glimmer, for giving me the courage to go and ask her out…
~Flashback~
I was on my bed reading a book called "The Hunger Games". The main characters are Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence. And there is this huge love triangle thing between Jennifer, Josh and this other guy, Liam Hemsworth. I had just reached the part where Jennifer was having hallucinations from the tracker jacker venom when someone knocked on my door.
"Doors open!" I yelled. The door flew open and in ran Clove and Glimmer.
I sat up immediately, astonished at their bursting appearance. "Peeta!" They yelled in unison.
"Yeah?" I questioned uneasily.
"We need to talk to you!" They said, jumping on to the foot of my bed, staring at me like wild animals.
"Okay?" I answered questioningly, unsure of what to do.
"We know you have a 'secret"'crush on Katniss." They said together like they had rehearsed it, making quotations with their fingers around the word 'secret'.
"Oh..." I mumbled under my breath.
"It's okay!" They screeched enthusiastically. "We've come to help you get your girl!"
I sat forward, intrigued by this. "Really?"
"Yes!" They screamed excitedly.
I stared at them for a moment, before nodding slowly. "Okay."
"Okay, but just so you know, she will most likely say yes," Clove started.
"How do you know?" I replied.
"A," Glimmer started , "Because we know her, and are her best friends. B; Because it's obvious she has a crush on you too."
My heart actually skipped a beat at that last comment. She has a crush on me?
"H-how do you know?" I stuttered, unable to believe my ears.
They both looked dumbstruck. "Have you seen how acts around you?"
"No," I muttered to myself.
Glimmer rolled her eyes. "You are so oblivious Mellark. She always blushes around you, laughs at your comments and jokes, even though most of them aren't even funny." She whispered the last part.
"Hey!"
They both rolled their eyes. "Anyways," Clove continued, "She always tries to bring you into conversations and sits near you all the time. And when it's just us girls, all we hear from her is 'Peeta this' and 'Peeta that' you have no idea how annoying it is."
My face grew hot, had I never noticed this? No, I hadn't. But I had made up my mind.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked, sitting up straighter than before.
They looked at each other, then smiled. "First of all, you need to walk up to her door and ask her on a date," Glimmer stated.
"I-I don't know…" I started, trailing off.
"Do you want to go on a date with Katniss?" Clove questioned.
"Well, yeah. I do," I replied.
"Then man up!"
I breathed in deeply. "Fine, but what should I say?"
"Just go up to her, and ask her if she is busy tonight."
"T-tonight?"
"Yes!" They both yelled.
"O-okay then. How about around six?"
They nodded their approval, and rushed me out the door to Katniss' dorm.
~End of Flashback~
I knocked as soon as I had reached their dorm, and the door flung open almost immediately. Two pairs of hands dragged me through the door and threw me down on a bed, slamming the door.
Glimmer winced. "Okay, maybe that was a little loud."
"Oh shut up!" Clove yelled. "What did she say?" She nagged me.
Too stunned by their reaction, I stuttered out my answer. "Sh-she-she s-said y-yes."
Clove and Glimmer automatically jumped up and down, squealing with happiness.
Glimmer stopped and stared at me. "Now it's time to get you ready."
I slowly started to inch towards the door, slightly afraid of what they had planned for tonight, but they grabbed my forearms and dragged me to the bathroom before I could move two steps.
I just sat there, in a chair, willing time to go faster, hoping this 'makeover' would be over soon.
xxxXxxx
Once they were finished, I looked in the mirror. I was shocked at the figure standing before me. It wasn't me, this guy looked hot. And I'm definitely not hot. He wore nice black jeans, a white muscle shirt and a brown button up shirt with two or three buttons undone at the top. He also had his hair combed, yet a little messed around not to seem too neat.
They grabbed my shoulders and turned me around, looking over their masterpiece (me) once again. "So…" Clove started, "What do you think!"
"I-I like it." I replied.
They jumped up and shrieked but the moment was gone as soon as it came. "You stink." Glimmer stated seriously. Clove held her nose and nodded in agreement, while Glimmer looked around for something. She left the room bathroom and re-entered a couple minutes later with a bottle of cologne in her hands.
"Um… that's Finnick's."
"Who cares!" Glimmer threw her arms up in the air. She turned me around and sprayed me a couple times here and there.
"Do you think he's ready Clove?" Glimmer questioned.
'Not until he's got a rose." She left the room and returned a minute later with said flower in hand.
"Give this to Katniss when you pick her up," She said, shoving the flower in to my hand.
'Thanks," I said while grasping hold of the little red flower.
I walked to the door with Glimmer and Clove trailing behind me and smiling like maniacs.
"You know," I started, "If you smile any longer, I swear your faces might break." Then I walked out the door and down to Katniss' room.
Once I reached her dorm, I knocked twice and waited for her to open it.
The door swung open not too long after and there appeared Madge.
She giggled and yelled, "Katniss! Your date is here!" Over her shoulder, emphasizing the word 'date'.
A couple minutes later, Katniss walked in to the clearing of her room. I caught my breath once I laid eyes on her. She looked so... Stunning.
She wore a strapless red and sunset orange dress that looked like it was on fire. Her long, brown hair was put up in sock bun with a few strands curled, and laying loose in the front. She also had some make-up on. Not too much, but just enough to make her beautiful as ever.
I caught Katniss staring at me also and let out a slight laugh.
"Oh, will you two love birds just go already?" Madge yelled, pushing us out the door, both blushing.
"Bye!" She yelled and we both waved.
She closed the door and I walked down the hallway, with my dream girl standing right next to me.
I was going on a date with Katniss Kate Everdeen.
And scene! You have to wait till next chapter to find out what happens in their date! Keep on reading and reviewing guys! Your reviews really mean a lot to me! Thanks to all of you who have stuck with me from the beginning!
Until next time…
