𝐎𝐍𝐄. A simple number that can change your life.

Hope had always hated math, she hadn't been good at it but she had never come to hate a number, not like that day.
It was her last day and she felt like crying.

Tomorrow she would take to the arena to fight for her life and shortly announce the score she had scored two days earlier.
She was so scared that she thought she was going to die of terror.

The thing that made her feel worse was that she hadn't been able to talk to Finn anymore, they had only met in the same room a couple of times and the only thing they could do was look at each other without anyone noticing.

- "I hate this wait" - exclaimed Boyd pacing back and forth in the living room.
Victor sat in an armchair while Oliver stood waiting for Caesar to deliver their points.

-" you have to stop pacing up and down the room, you make me dizzy" - Victor said dramatically and Hope smiled.

After a few seconds someone knocked on the door.
Hope looked dazed at the others with understanding who it could be.
Maybe Judy, but she honestly hadn't seen her in almost two weeks.

-"go open Hope" -
-" why me?"- she asked, not understanding, looking at Victor.

-"It's a surprise. Oddly not because of me, but Oliver thought it might be a good idea" - said Victor as Hope went towards the door.

She opened it and what she found amazed her: Finnick Odair was standing in front of the door.
It took Hope a couple of seconds to realize but then she smiled and that made Finn smile back.

-" Finn! What... You should be with your tributes" - Hope said hugging him, meanwhile Finn left her a kiss on the forehead.

Ever since she had realized that she was, perhaps, in love with Finnick, she had never stopped thinking about it. The fact that he was there now, for her, to be by her side whether the score was good or not. He was there.

-" come on glitter let him in" - Victor said from the living room and Hope blushed, realizing that she hadn't invited him in yet.

- "right, sorry" - she said but Finn smiled amused and entered.
-"I missed you angel"- Finn said after he entered, kissing Hope's hand as he used to do.
-"I missed you too" - Hope said then she took him by the hand and together they went towards the living room.

-" Odair" -
-"Miller" - the two winners greeted each other, keeping their faces serious.

-"come on grumbler , don't put our guest in a bad mood, Finnick sit down" - said Victor, looking badly at Oliver who rolled his eyes.

-"Finnick it's good to see you again"- Boyd said holding out his hand to Finn who took it and shook it.

-"Thank you, Boyd" - Finn said courteously but then his gaze was caught by Hope who had gone to sit on an armchair near the sofa where Finn was sitting.
