Chapter 24: Tutoring

Chapter 24

Katniss P.O.V.

The morning after the concert made me wanna throw up. I woke up and I felt nervous about going down to face Peeta, so laid in bed a little longer to think about things.

Not so long ago I thought I hated Peeta. But we became friends and I knew that something started happening in my body. I think I've liked him for a while but not realizing it myself before yesterday. Can someone really like a person and not realize that until the feelings grow strong and you can call yourself in love instead of liking?

If that's not possible than I've made it possible because that's exactly what happened. I've never liked anyone or been in love before. Maybe that's why I wasn't familiar to the symptoms. Maybe the girls know? Maybe they saw? Maybe I acted a different way or something that made them wonder.

I have to talk to them. But right now I can't. I'm not alone with the girls at the moment. The difficult thing about being in a tight group like ours, is that the girls can rarely find time to talk about girls stuff. While the boys on the other hand don't mind talking about boy stuff in front of us. We've heard stuff that's gonna hunt us forever. I've had to put a cloth in Finnick's mouth one time to stop him from talking.

We're walking through the crowded hallways of the school. People giving the thumb up to Peeta. Of course some of the students in school were at the concert yesterday.

Peeta has the biggest smile on his face. He's had that since this morning. It's so cute.

I'm not used to think like this. That he has a cute smile, that his eyes are beautiful, that he's hot and handsome. It's a whole new territory for me. I don't know why I've never thought of boys this way, before now, or why it should necessarily be a boy I pretty much hated at first. Although now I'm not so sure I actually hated him... I just wanted to make sure to show him that not everyone love him.

Life is weird. You can go change your whole believes when certain things happens and just start to question what you believe and if it's the wrong or the right thing.

We make our way to our math classroom, pushing our way through. Holding my book in my hands, makes think of the time when I rammed a book in Peeta's head. I close my eyes for a moment, letting the guilt wash over my body like a tsunami and I feel the urge to start crying. Of course I don't, but instead I open my eyes with a sigh as I continue to push through the hallway after Annie who's walking in front of me.

As we finally arrive at the classroom we walk in. Not a lot of people has arrived yet. The sun is streaming in through one of the open windows, lighting up the room a little extra apart from the lamps in the ceiling. You can hear the slight sound of birds outside. The students who are sitting by their tables looks part dead, part sleeping. One guy is leaning his cheek against the table, with some drool running down, forming a slight puddle beneath his lips as a slight snoring sound escapes from him. Poor guy, poor, poor guy.

I giggle as I make my way to the table I usually sit at. Annie gives me a questioningly glance. I point to the sleeping guy and she giggles.

I sit down on the chair and put my math book on the table right in front of me, and lean back on the two chair legs to talk to Annie, who's sitting with Finnick at the table behind me.

Peeta takes his seat beside me, and I do my best to just try to avoid looking at him. To distract myself I just start talking about Annie's new necklace. Finnick gave it to her yesterday as a two year anniversary present. It's a locket shaped like a heart. In the middle of the heart is a heart shaped diamond, not too big but not too small and on the backside of the locket it says "With love always, your Finnick aka love of your life". Inside the locket are two small photos of Annie and Finnick kissing. So cute. This locket though must have cost Finnick a fortune. Annie cried of happiness while showing it to me. She really loves Finnick and he loves her so very much. I'm so happy for them. I've always been happy for them, I pushed them to admit their feeling in the first place about two years ago.
