        ------(Katniss POV)------

   Its the weekend again and I have been feeling bad. Since Peeta and I have met, Prim and I haven't been able to spend as much time together like we use to. I do miss the days when we would talk and laugh or just hang out for hours. We both have gotten really busy and distant lately.

  Today we arranged to hang out with each other. We decided we would go to the mall, get something to eat or maybe get our nails done. I am going to meet her at the mall. Peeta went to go hang out with some friends that were hired at the bakery a while ago so this is the perfect time for Prim and I to spend time together.

   I take a shower and get dressed in a nice spring outfit and head out the door. Im really excited for today. When I get to the mall Prim calls my cellphone.

" Hey Prim, I just got to the mall," I let her.

" Okay Im in the front of Macy's" She tells me. I glance towards the store

" Okay" I say and we hang up. I think I see her.

When I get to her we go into the store and we almost immediately start shopping. After that we went to go get our nails done at this nice place in the mall.

" Ohhh what color are you gonna pick," Prim asks.

" I don't know. I kinda like this peach colored one," I hold up the nail polish I think I might pick.

" Oh that would look great on you" she says. " I think Im going with light blue."

" Thats pretty." I tell her with a smile.

   When we are done getting our nails done we do a little more shopping until we realize how hungry we both are. We decide to go to The Cheesecake Factory that is connected to the mall. When we walk into the restaurant there are a lot of people so it takes us a while to get to the desk at the front.

" Hello how many people," the lady asks me.

" Just two," I tell her.

" Okay, thats gonna be a 15 minute wait. Can I have a name," she says and gives me a buzzer.

" Katniss" I say and she types it in the computer that she is standing at.

" Okay well while you wait you can sit at the bar if you would like."

" Okay" I smile and Prim and I go to the bar area and wait for a bit.

When the buzzer begins to buzz I give it to the same lady at the front desk and we get our table. Our waiter comes to our table and Prim's eyes widen. I look at her and laugh.

   " Hi my name is Andrew, Im going to be helping you today. Can I get you anything to drink?" he asks. Prim just stares into space so I have to talk for her.

   " Uhhh yea can I just have some red wine," I say.

   " Okay and for you," he turns to Prim and she finally snaps out of it.

   " Uhh yeah wine, too," Prim is twenty two so she can have wine. She still looks nervous about talking to Andrew. He walks away to get our drinks.

   I can't help but ask Prim what happened.

  " I don't know what happened, he is a really cute guy." She admits to me.

  " He is a cute guy. You should talk to him more," I encourage her.

" No way!" she says. I couldn't even tell him what I wanted to drink without turning the color of an apple.

I see him coming back to our table holding two glasses of wine. " Then I will talk to him," I say and Prim's eyes widen again... but this time in fear.

" No, no, no!!" She whispers but I have already started talking.

" Hey Andrew. We uhhh... we just wanted to know how old you are," I ask him and he looks a little confused.

" Uhh I'm twenty four," he tells me.

" Oh okay," I say and Prim is practically covering her whole face. " Are you single" I ask and then I see his face change. I think he starts to get what I'm doing.

" Yea I'm single," he smiles. " Why do you ask?"

" Well my sister here, she's single and she's twenty two." Prim finally looks up and smiles at him and he gives her a smile back and holds his hand out.

" Hi, I'm Prim." Prim says trying to stay as calm as possible. She shakes his hand.

" Im Andrew, so you are single?" he asks smiling.

" Yea I am." she replies.

" Well I'm glad you are." he smiles and pulls out his note book where he rights down customers orders. He rights something down. " Here, you should call me sometime but I have to get back to work right now," he hands her a paper with his number on it.

" Okay, it was nice meeting you," Prim says.

" Yea you too," he says and walks away looking back once for a smile.

Prim looks at me and runs her hands through her hair. " I cant believe you just did that Katniss!!" she said looking nervous and confused.

" I had to, you looked like you liked him a lot," I say taking a sip of wine.

"I know" she says looking down.

" And now you have his number. I have to admit that was pretty easy. I thought it would take longer. Are you gonna call him"

" I don't know. Maybe...maybe not," she says.

" You should!" I tell her

" Yea maybe I will when I get home."

" Good! Who knows. Maybe he is the one for you!" I tell Prim.

She tries to change the subject. "So how are you and Peeta," she asks.

" We are absolutely great," I tell her thinking about him. " I love him so much," I say smiling.

" Yea, I can tell," she says. " You guys are great for each other."

" Yea I know. I don't know what I would do without him," I say. " But who knows, maybe you will have a guy for yourself too," I tell her.
