Chapter 4

Katniss P.O.V.

"Okay I know you've been defensive since your father died, but this is starting to get a little ridiculous", Clove says.

"Yeah, Peeta has barely spoken two words to you and you won't even give him a chance", Glimmer says.

"Finnick and the boys has been hanging out with him a lot these past three days", Annie says. "They say he's super nice and want him in the group".

I can't believe Annie just said those words.

"Hell no", I say.

"Oh come on, give him a chance", Madge says.

"Why?" I ask, asking for a reason.

"Because he hasn't done anything to intentionally provoke you", Annie says. "You just feel provoked because of no reason at all".

"I do too have reasons!" I say.

"Name one", Clove dares me.

I stay silent.

Okay maybe they're right. Maybe I don't have any reasons, but I really don't care. I don't like Mellark.

"Fine, I don't have any, I just dislike him", I say.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want him to think that everyone loves him. And I'm still sure that he's a big obnoxious yucky celebrity", I say and the girls sigh.

I'm not one of these naive girls. I'm just not. I'm not tricked easily. Actually I'm never tricked.

We walk into the cafeteria and buy our lunch. We sit down with the guys at the table their sitting at. And of course Mellark is there.

"Did the girls tell you that..." Finnick starts but I interrupt him.

"Yes Finn they did", I say and dip one of my fries in mayonnaise.

I always have mayonnaise with my fries, it's million times better than ketchup. You can't even compare it.

"Oh cool I love fries and mayonnaise", Mellark says. "I thought no one else did, I've never met anyone who likes mayonnaise with their fries before".

I raise both my eyebrows. Too surprised to be angry.

"Huh!" I say putting the fries in my mouth, the tip with the mayonnaise first. "Reaaaally?"

"Yup", he says. "Not even my brothers like it and we're related".

"You've got brothers?" I ask.

"Two", Finnick says.

"James and Logan", Gale says.

I look at them and raise my right eyebrow.

They have been hanging out with him a lot haven't they?

Ugh whatever. I dip more fries in the mayonnaise and keep quiet. I just listen to what everyone are talking about.

Finally I put my teeth in my delicious burger. I love burgers.

"That's a big burger", I hear Mellark say.

"Problem with that Mellark?" I hiss, inviting him into a fight.

But it seems like he doesn't want to fight. He just chuckles.

"No problem, just amazed, never seen a girl more in love with her burger", he says.

"Katniss loves her junk food", Cato says.

"Yet she manages to keep slim", Gale says.

"And sexy as hell!" A boy passing our table says. "Her booty is so damn smackable!"

I quickly turn around and punch my knuckle on his crotch.

"Say that again and I'll cut them off instead of punching them!" I hiss at him.

He wines in pain and hurries away.

"And she's badass", Finnick says.

"Yeah it seems like she can take care of herself", Mellark agrees.

"Hell yeah I can", I say. "When you live in a world where girls are being seen as sex objects I have to be able to take care of myself".

"These girls has major respect in this school", Marvel says.

"Well if we didn't have you boys, we would be considered sex toys", Annie says. "With you around they won't go too far".

"You're welcome", Cato says.

"Yeah right, like I need your help", I mock.

"Okay maybe you don't", Madge laughs.

I laugh. I love my friends. But it's true. I can defend myself. I'm good at it.

"We have to go now", Annie says standing up. "Otherwise we'll be late for cheerleader practice".

"You girls cheer?" Mellark asks.

"Oh yeah you bet they do", Finnick says and lick his lower lip, looking at Annie. "And I'll tell yah, when they shake those skirts mmmhmmm".

I stand up and walk up to Finnick. I push him off the chair.

"Owww", he whines.

The girls laugh and I do a high five with Annie.

"See you later 'Finny'", I say and give him a blow kiss.

Annie laughs and hooks her arm around mine as we start walking out of the cafeteria with Madge, Clove and Glimmer as all five of us waddle our asses extra much. Laughing as we walk.
