Roommates

Therapy & Struggles

The day I dreaded the most just had to be around the corner. Katniss is going on that stupid date with some new neighbour. I shouldn't feel the way I feel right now but I can't help it.

Is it jealousy? I'm not too sure, all I know is I don't like it and it probably won't be going away anytime soon. Maybe k should distract myself, but with what? That's when I decided to my therapist and friend Johanna.

"Jo! Hey, how are you?" I asked.

"Oh Peeta of it isn't you- Hey! Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that? Ugh, what can I do for you?" I snorted a little from her reaction.

"I just wanted to know if you're free to come over? I promise you I'll get you something for free from the bakery." All the sudden the phone call ended. Hm, that should mean that she will arrive in 3... 2... 1-

"I'M HERE! WHERES THE FOOD??" I wasn't shocked of course.

"You'll get your food after you have a chit-chat with me." I smirked knowing that's her one weakness. Small talk.

"Nooooo whyyy??" She whined in annoyance.

"Because I want to talk about something, and you are the best therapist I know." She nodded her head in agreement knowing that I was right.

"Fine, tell me bread boy. What's going on with you?"

I took a deep breath and told Johanna everything that has happened so far. I even saw smirk from time to time when I mentioned Katniss' name.

"Sooo Bread boy has a crush now? Hah, and I thought you would end up lonely with all the girls you were so oblivious too."

"I wasn't oblivious. They just didn't give good signs. How was that my fault??"

"Mhm sure. So what now Lover boy? How are going to swoop the girl of your dreams from him?"

This is the part when Johanna starts to list the most diabolical things and suggest that I actually do it. And of course, I always decline knowing that there are better ways to handle this.

"Well you can't reject all of my offers Lover boy. What do you have in mind then? Since you don't wanna do any of mine which I think is totally stupid."

"I don't even know if she's the one. I can't just fall in love with a stranger who was having a nightmare attack in the middle of the night ."

Johanna rolled her eyes. "Whatever, hide your feelings. But if that new guy ends up taking her off her feet, don't come crying to me saying I didn't warn ya!"

I shook my head in refusal. "Alright Johanna what do you want from the bakery this time?" I asked as I flipped my phone out to make some orders.

"Now this is what I've been waiting for. I think I might go for a chocolate fudge cake... Or maybe even some of those macarons mmm!"

This girl will never get tired of food in general. I needed up ordering a box of donuts just for her. "Alright, thanks Johanna. See you again soon!"

She waved her hand at me since her mouth was filled with donuts. I giggled at the sight.

I wonder how Katniss is doing with her date. I hope she ends up hating it and never wants to go back. I know I've said this many times I shouldn't have such a mindset but I really can't help it. What I didn't want to do was get more angry so I decided to drive over to the bakery. Nothing can make me mad there.

I ran over to my car and started it up. Now this is a perfect time to play my "Road trip" playlist. I'm not too sure why, but I've been looking for an excuse to. I think I may have speeded a little over the limit but no one caught me, thankfully. I slowed down to park my car, then locked it, and entered inside the bakery.

That's when I saw Katniss and The Newcomer. I believe Katniss told me his name was Gale, but I don't really care. The fact that they really just had to have their date in the bakery out of anywhere gets me annoyed.

As I was just about to re-treat I hear Gale tell Katniss something that seems to shock her. "Oh wow really? I moved here to also attend that university. That means we'll see each other every day."

What?

Katniss and him attending the same university? I hadn't attended university, I only finished high school. I didn't have the time to attend university or even college. Well that's how it was going to be if I'm going to invent such a big bakery chain. But maybe going to university won't be such a bad thing? I mean if I get into the same one as Katniss I would get to see her...

Wait why does that even matter? I said it before I shouldn't get too attached to her, I just met her. But something in my head keeps on replaying the moment I looked at her straight into her eyes.

I get frustrated and ended up leaving. So far for attempting to calm myself down right?  I ended up driving back to the apartment with dissatisfaction. Parked my car, ran inside, flew up my stairs and face planted into my bed. I was tired.
