Chapter 4:
-Katniss-
We girls headed downstairs where the beach was.
“Okay who gets the two guns?” Clove started.
“Annie and Glim, they can’t throw well” Johanna decides.
“Hey!” Annie and Glimmer shouted in unison.
“No offense but yeah” Clove says, shrugging slightly.
“Well if you really want to win this” I say.
Glimmer’s head snapped up.
“Give me the gun” she says.
Clove gives them one each.
“Alright here you go, ready?” Clove says as she hands me and Jo our water balloons.
We arrive at the beach and we spot the guys. They haven’t seen us yet. Good. Clove put the bucket down next to our towels.
“There’s more in the bucket, return here to reload” she winks and just in time, the guys spot us.
“Fire!” Jo says and I start running, looking for my blonde target.
-Peeta-
Katniss started running towards me. She had over 5 water balloons.
“Mellark!” she growls.
“I love you!” I say.
She smirks playfully.
“Aww I love you too” she says and throws a balloon at me, hitting me square in the chest.
“Let’s play it that way then” I say before squirting her with a water gun on the face.
I see she’s quite shocked so I took it as the signal to run.
“Get back here!” she yells and chases after me.
I trip over a towel and I hear Katniss hysterically laughing behind me. I was wearing a goofy smile. I notice something near my head, a shell. I picked it up and hid it in my pocket.
“Hey” Katniss says, sitting beside me.
“You quit?” I ask her.
“No. It’s entertaining to watch them”
She was looking at the rest of the Victors who were continuously shooting guns and firing balloons. It truly is entertaining. Johanna and Gale were wrestling over a gun. I pulled Katniss closer and she looks at me.
“Did I do something wrong?” I ask her.
She smiles slightly. “Nope. I doubt that you can do anything wrong” she says returning her focus to the sea.
She took my hand in hers and I couldn’t help but smile. That smile quickly faded when we were attacked with balloons.
-Johanna-
I spotted Peeta and Katniss having a moment. I grinned, there was a plan forming in my head.
“Gale” I call.
He turns to me and raises an eyebrow. I placed a finger over my lips
“Shh”
I gestured to the water balloon then to the couple having their moment. His grin matches mine and we silently tell our friends, careful not to warn them of our plan.
Glimmer was trying to hold her laughter in and decided on clamping a hand over her mouth.
I put three fingers up.
Three. Two. One.
We all fired the balloons. They glare at us with a look that could only be read as pure annoyance and irritation.
-Gale-
As Johanna and the others fired I ran behind them. As the water hit them, I put seaweed on Catnip’s hair. I was about to place one on Mellark but they had already opened their eyes. I ran back to the Victors as if nothing happened. I admired my work from afar which made our laughter grow by the minute.
-Peeta-
We were wet.
“Oh God” Katniss muttered.
“It’s fi-“ I stop myself as I look at her. I had to contain my laughter but that was quite difficult. I was looking at my feet till I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I joined our friends’ laughter. I was clutching my stomach.
“What?” Katniss asks with a scowl.
“Y-“ I couldn’t get word out.
I managed to stop for a while.
I spotted the victors laughing hysterically on the sand, clutching their stomachs and whatever they could hold.
“Kat you have a little something there” I point to her head which was filled with seaweed.
She put a hesitant hand on her head feeling the slimy thing placed there.
“Oh” she says with her face paling.
“You know I’m getting a bit tired we should clean up and have dinner in the city” Glimmer says once we join them.
We all agreed before walking back to the hotel. I felt bad for Katniss who was quiet and sulking behind us.
“Kat” I say linking our arms.
“Hmm?”
“I’m sorry” I say.
“Right” she mutters before walking ahead of me.
I felt guilty now. I put my hands in my pocket by habit. I felt something smooth and took it out.
It was a shell.
There was something inside
I opened it and found a pearl. I smiled. I had a plan forming. Katniss won’t be mad for sure.
