Panem Summer Camp *ON HOLD*

Chapter Nine

KATNISS POV  - ͟͟͞☆

Katniss walked towards the campfire with Clove and Finch after they had all ran back to the cabin to grab their sweatshirts. 

She was eating a granola bar and was currently swiping through Instagram despite the fact they weren't allowed to be on their phones. Finch was still reading the large book she was reading at dinner and Clove was sharpening what looked to be a knife. 

"What do you guys think of Glimmer's 'plan'?" Katniss asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Oh, I absolutely hate it. Cato is an idiot," Clove said, rolling her dark eyes. 

"I guess I don't really know Thresh all that well," Finch said, not looking up from the pages of her book. She pushed her glasses farther up her nose. "We didn't talk much during the time Effie gave us. Effie is annoying as heck too."

"Finally, someone understands," Clove said, throwing her small arms in the air, nearly stabbing Katniss in the eye with the knife. 

"What do you think of Peeta?" Finch asked Katniss, finally looking up.

Katniss turned bright red and said "He's okay I guess."

They all quieted and walked down the path in the dark the rest of the way. It was really quiet where they were but they could hear the chatter in the distance which was how they knew the campfire was close. 

Ten minutes later, they were all sitting with Cabin 28 on a rough log laughing their heads off about a threat Johanna made to Finnick.

A shrill whistle burst through the night and everyone's attention was focused on the man with snow colored hair standing in the middle of the circle by the campfire.

"Hello everyone! How was everyone's first day of camp?" he said. He was met with loud cheers and applause. 

"Now, it is time for the annual First Day Campfire!" More applause cut through the night. "Have fun, don't get burnt, and get back to your cabins by nine. You may be on your phones at this time. Goodnight."

And with that he just turned around and left.

"He's so stupid. Doesn't even realize people have been on their phones this whole time," Clove said rolling her eyes. 

"Do that anymore and you might find a brain back there!" Cato exclaimed, strolling up behind them and throwing an arm around Clove's shoulder.

"That arm better be off my should in five seconds before there will be a trip to the nurse," Clove said calmly. 

Cato chuckled but quickly removed his arm.

"I'm going to go back to the cabin, anyone want to come?" Annie addressed to the group.

"I will," Katniss and Madge said. Finch also followed them but didn't say anything, still immersed in her book.

"Can I come with you guys?" Peeta asked awkwardly. "I- I mean, our cabin is r- right next to yours-"

"Of course!" Annie said, saving him from his stuttering. 

The group bid goodnight to everyone else before starting the trek back to the cabins.

"How has everyone's first day been?" Annie asked as they walked side by side in the dark.

She was met with a chorus of 'Good's, 'Meh's, and 'Terrible's. Katniss was one of the 'meh's.

She liked everyone in her cabin but her counselor was peppy and annoying and the weird Gale kid kept staring at her during the tour and it was bothering her.
