"Juniper Plinth, better known as The Serpent. Capitol favorite, she's their doll. She's a deadly threat, and most importantly, a career. Juniper is agile, sneaky, and quick, you'd never see her coming. She's one of the deadliest victors you'll ever...
It was early in the morning. Juniper felt vibrations in the ground and disappeared into the jungle- followed by Lennox and Nina with the spile. That's when the wave hit.
"So, last time you and Finnick were on watch?" Nina asked. Juniper looked to her and noticed she had a smirk on her face.
"What's that look for?" Juniper asked. Nina rose her eyebrows up and down again. Lennox sighed.
"You were stuck together for two days and you seem to be getting along well." Lennox said. "Last night you guys were talking for a while, I sat up and saw him hugging you."
"You know, earlier that day he put a knife to my throat, so." Juniper sighed, taking some more water and taking the spile when the three were done. "Don't get any ideas."
"That's what I tried telling her." Lennox laughed. Lennox had seen a lot that has happened between Finnick and Juniper. All in all, he just didn't want Juniper getting hurt by him. Again.
"Oh shut it, its girl time now. Go back to the group." Nina put her hand on Lennox's back and shoved him forward. He rolled his eyes playfully and walked ahead of them, making his way back onto the beach. Juniper and Nina stayed put.
Juniper crossed her arms and looked at Nina, who was just smiling. "I know there's something between you two, you just don't want to admit it."
"Please. We've hated each other for years."
"There's a thin line between love and hate. They are the strongest feelings, sometimes they can be depicted as the same- in certain scenarios..." Nina hinted at Juniper, who turned her head away.
"Me? With Finnick? You must be joking." Juniper said, getting no answer from Nina. Juniper turned to Nina who had a smile on her face- holding back a laugh. "Please tell me you're joking."
Nina shrugged. "I'm not saying anything. It's just weird how you deny it, but every time you are near him, you're looking at him like you're..." Nina didn't need to finish her sentence for Juniper to realize what she was going to say.
"What!" Juniper shouted in disbelief, not believing what she was hearing. "No, I do not like him. I hate his face. I hate when he touches me, I can't stand when he talks- don't even get me started on that. I hate the color of his eyes and how he looks at me. I hate the way it-"
Juniper stopped herself and took a deep breath. She hated the way it made her feel, how he made her feel. She hated it, she hated him. Even if every single time he touched her hand, she would grow warm. She hated how he called her darling. She hated how he nicknamed her June. She hated how her heart sped up when he was around.
