Chapter Four:

Katniss POV:

Once the bell rings, Peeta and I rush out of the classroom. Delly went to the bathroom, Charlotte gave her a skirt to wear. Delly had finally re-done herself, even though it took up most of class. That woman.

"... and then Charlotte pulled the string, Delly yelled and ran out," Peeta finishes explaining to chortling Clove and Madge. "Here, look at her makeup," he points at my phone.

"That... girl... I... can't... stop..." Clove says between laughs.

"Hmmm. Yes," I agree.

"HEY PEETA," calls a guy. I turn back and see Finnick Odair, the hottie of our school. Peeta may be cute, but he's hot. To every girl- except me.

Finnick runs up to us. "Peeta, Katniss, I was wondering if you two could come to my place on Saturday. I'm throwing a party. You too Clove and Madge." he says kindly.

"Tomorrow? Sure," Peeta replies.

"I'll be there too," says Delly, walking up from behind. She nods at us before addressing Peeta, "Would you like to be my date?" she asks.

"Nope," he replied, confidently. "I told you that after music," he says.

Delly looks at him, shocked. "Uhh, okay then." She sashays off, bumping into me on her way. My books tumble out of my hands and fall to the ground. She turns around, a look of fake pity on her face. "OOPS!" she squeals.

"Delly you have a string coming out of your underwear there," Peeta calls after her. She turns, blushing, and walks of hurriedly.

"Let me help you with that," Peeta says. Bending down to pick up the books. We both try to pick up an old math textbook at the same time- resulting in our hands touching each other.

I blush, but Peeta acts natural. Clove and Madge look like they want to giggle, laugh, cry, and scream with joy. Instead, they run off with murmurs of wanting to go finish homework.

'I actually blushed!' I think as I but the books back into my bag. Peeta helps me. Its not like I like him or anything. I don't like boys, or people for that matter. With the exception of Prim, Clove, and Madge- maybe even Finnick. But Peeta, I just met him. I need to snap out of this fantasy, he has his eyes on another girl. That's what he told Delly. He's too nice to lie. He is nice to me. Probably pities my friendless life. Yes, that's it. How dare he! he doesn't even know me. No, maybe it's something more... FORGET IT KATNISS- not gonna happen. Not again. Not like last time, I tell myself. Unfortunately my voice of reason is powerless to the boy with the blue eyes.

Peeta's POV:

Katniss has been looking away for a while. She has put on that mask, hiding herself from the world. Could she tell? Did she know I liked her? Finnick noticed, but he's a guy. Did she like me? Maybe. If she didn't I may be able to convince her. Finnick said she didn't have a boyfriend. He has been awfully helpful. I wonder if he has a girl on his eyes? I guess I'll see on Saturday.

"So where should we go to work on the projects?" Katniss asks, breaking my train of thought.

"We can go to my house, I have supplies for the music poster and then we can write the report for Science," I answer. She nods. We walk to the parking lot in silence.
