Chapter 16

Katniss P.O.V.

Finally Friday! I've been longing for Friday since Sunday. Yeah I could just skip the whole week and jump straight to Friday.

"Whoop it's Friday girl!" Annie shouts as she walks towards me all glamorous in the hallway. "One class left and we're free!"

"Hell yeah!" I say and hook my arm around hers.

"Peeta's not gonna be home today, he's got a concert, his first one in months since he came back to school", she says.

"Not like I care", I say.

"Alright", she giggles and something in her voice tells me that she doesn't really believe me.

Why? Why do they all think that I care about where Peeta is? Yesterday Finnick told me that Peeta were going to the bathroom when he walked away from the group. Like I would care about that.

When we reach the classroom the others are standing there already. Peeta and Finnick are laughing at something.

He kinda has a cute laugh.

I think about everything I've done to Peeta since he came here. It makes me feel really bad. He didn't deserve it. But I was so sure that he was an outrageous mean celebrity. Obviously I know now that he isn't.

I've been thinking about apologizing so we may have a chance at being friends.

I still get the hate letters, and they're getting more and more threatening. It's scary. I still haven't told anyone that I still get them. I don't wanna seem weak because I'm really not weak. But as I said when the guys read my diary, things get to me too.

Annie is looking at me with a suspicious glance. I raise my eyebrow and shake questioningly at my head. What's up with her? Ugh I don't care.

The teacher comes and opens the door and we all walk into the classroom to start our last class.

***

As the class finishes, everyone runs out, happy it's Friday.

"Guys wait up!" Peeta calls after us all.

We all turn around.

"Good luck tonight Peeta", Annie says.

"No wait I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with", he says and we all stare at him. "Because I'm the singer I get as many backstage passes as I want and I want you all there, for every single one of my concerts, because you're my best friends".

And again the guilt washes over me. Peeta only continues to be this kind and sweet guy, and I just treated him like shit. And the weird thing is, he's never gotten angry at me for what I've done. Never screamed at me. Maybe I would feel better if he did scream at me, because maybe I wouldn't feel as guilty.

I've actually never seen him angry. I've seen him on the edge of being angry, but never angry. It's crazy. I get angry a lot. And I've seen the rest of the group angry as hell as well. But never Peeta.

Hm...

"Hell yeah!" Finnick shouts.

Peeta laughs.

"We'll just go home so we all can change and the limo will come and get us at 7 pm, but the concert starts at nine, and goes on until eleven pm", Peeta says.

But I don't really listen, he lost me at a limo. We're gonna be in a limo? A limo?! My god! What?

"This is awesome dude!" Cato says.

"We're gonna have so much fun", Glimmer says.

"And even Katniss seems like she wants to go since she's smiling", Annie says.

I'm smiling? Crap.

"I mean I guess", I say. "I guess your music is not that bad".

Peeta gasps fake dramatically.

"Did Katniss Everdeen just give me a compliment?" He asks.

Everyone starts laughing.

"And it will be your last one of you do that again", I threaten but smirk.

Peeta smiles at me and I just shake my head.

We all hurry home and everyone just disappear into their rooms.

I look through my clothes. Hm... Now what should I wear?

I see my green dress. I take it out and place it on my bed and chose what shoes to wear. Green high heels. Yes I like green.

I put on my green tight dress that forms my body after my curves. I put on a black very short camisole that only reaches to my chest and can't be shut.

I redo my makeup to make it more ... Concert fitting. I put bright green eyeshadow on my eyelids and some light blue glitter. I use my best mascara that makes my eyelashes double as long and on my lips I put light red lipstick. I curl my long hair into elegant locks and let them fall over my shoulders.

When I'm done I take my black purse and put my phone and keys in it before I walk out of my room.

I meet Annie in the corridor wearing a red tight dress with her red hair curled and set up in a high pony tail up on her head.

"Looking good Kat!" She says and buffs my side with her waist.

"You too girly", I say. "I love what you've done to your hair".

"And I love your makeup!" She says. "It's not often we get to see you all dressed up like this".

"Yeah, you know I don't really like it", I say.

"Yeah", Annie says.

We walk down the stairs and I see that everyone else are already waiting for us by the staircase.

"Who are you and what did you do to Katniss?" Finnick asks.

Annie hits him laughing and I just shake my head.

"I'm not looking that different am I?" I ask nervously.

"Yes!" Everyone says at the same time.

"But I always use these type of clothes", I say. "Maybe it's the makeup..."

"Maybe it is", Glimmer says.

We hear a honking from the outside.

"The limo's here", Peeta says walking to the door.

We walk outside and there it is. A big black limousine, all shiny and beautiful.

This all feels like a dream.

Hey guys, I hope you all liked the chapter.

Do you think Katniss will apologize to Peeta, or is she too proud to do that?
