Chapter 5:
-Katniss-
“Kat you have to dress up” Glimmer says, opening my suitcase. Glimmer and Annie were in me, Clove’s and Jo’s room.
“I’ll go with what I’m wearing” I say.
I was wearing a simple quarter sleeved shirt, jeans and my usual combat boots.
“That’s what you wear everyday” Annie says, brushing her fingers through my hair which I was planning on braiding.
“She’s right you have to dress up. At least this once!” Jo reasons but she was smirking. Something’s wrong…
“Where are we eating?” I ask irritated.
“Somewhere fancy” Clove says emerging from the bathroom all dressed up.
“What gave you the courage to wear that?”
“The promise of food” Clove grins with an encouraging nod from Johanna. I roll my eyes.
“I could always stay back and order room service you know” I say, hoping for their consent.
“No. You are coming with us and that’s final” Glimmer says firmly.
“And if I refuse?” I challenge them forcing my chin up.
“There’s this friend of mine. He’s a dentist. I could get him to come down here for a visit” Annie threatens.
The way she said it so sweetly made it more frightening. I paled. I hate dentists. I don’t like them. Never did. Their tools are for torture! Honestly! I haven’t responded for the past minute so Clove gives me something green.
“Go change” she says.
I sigh and march to the bathroom.
I look at what they gave me. Green, That’s fine. Though it was sleeveless and I wanted something to cover up my arms, I recently got a burn on my forearm. How did I get it? Well one lovely day of pure irritation and one of Clove’s terrible attempts at cooking. That’s how I got it. I put the dress on feeling the silk on my skin. It’s not that bad, I thought. I stepped out of the bathroom.
“Can I have a cardigan?” I ask.
“Here” Jo tosses me a black one.
“Thanks” I say as I put it on.
“How’s the burn?” Annie asks.
“Still there” I glare at Clove who looks away.
“Well? Let’s go!” Glimmer says.
My shoulders shrug as I follow them out of the room, grabbing my Swiss army pocketknife on the way out. I tuck it in my ankle boots. At least they let me wear the shoes I wanted so it wasn’t completely terrible.
The guys were already downstairs, waiting for us with a van they rented. I met Peeta’s eyes and he looked sorry? I was mad because of the spur of the moment thing… anyway, I wasn’t able to tell him since I was shoved into the back and he was sat on the front passenger seat.
We pulled up in front of some fancy restaurant as Glimmer said. It was a seafood house. Not exactly my favourite but clearly it was Finn’s. He was grinning like a madman. We enter the restaurant and the smell of food was appetizing. We were seated in a circle table.
“Peeta” I call out. He looks at me.
“Yeah? Look Kat, I’m sorry for laughing at you its’ just that-“
“Shh” I cut him off.
“I’m not mad” I faintly smile.
“You’re not?” he asks.
