Chapter 7

Katniss P.O.V.

After I told Clay about my plan, he said that I'm a genius. He said that Finnick is his bro and he likes him and all, but that he's got to learn what's important in life.

I'm still debating on whether or not to tell Peeta. Clay thinks I should. He says that I can trust Peeta. How can he even say that after everything?

I mean yea I talked to Peeta and I've heard his side of the story and I've heard what Clay had to say about it. I just... I'm still not sure. I'm just not sure I can trust him. It will take time for me to trust him.

Right now I have English class. I walk into the classroom and take a seat.

After about half a minute, I see someone walk through the door. Peeta. He scans the room, he sees me. He seems to hesitate for a while before he decide to take a seat at the bench beside mine.

So Peeta is in my English class? And we're the only once of our friends who's in this English class?

The seat beside me is empty. Peeta looked like he wanted to sit there first but then decided against it and took a seat at the bench beside instead.

I mean, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try to be friends? I mean I don't really know him, maybe first step is to try to get to know him? I'm just not sure I want to be his friend or get to know him after everything. But it would be hard, since Clay is friends with Peeta, and so now is Jeremy I found out this morning.

Both Clay and Jeremy seems to absolutely love Peeta. And these are the two boys who means absolutely most to me. They want me to give Peeta a chance so I guess maybe I have to.

"You know", I say, turning my head towards Peeta. He looks at me with a slight frown on his forehead. "I don't bite".

He looks at for a few seconds.

"I thought you didn't really like my presence", he says.

"Well I don't", I say simply. But after I said it I feel really mean. Why would I even say that? "But I may start to if we become friends, and we can't become friends if we don't talk or hang out or whatever".

"You want to be my friend?" Peeta asks.

"I'm not sure yet", I say. "But Clay and Jeremy loves you so I guess you can't be all bad after all".

"Um thanks?" Peeta asks unsure.

"Come sit over here", I say nodding my head. "Or are you afraid to get whore and slut germs?" I ask, referring to what Glimmer used to say about me.

"Stop it", Peeta says. "You're not a whore or slut".

I don't say anything. What am I supposed to say? I don't know.

"Well if you wanna sit here, the seat is still free", I say and look ahead at the blackboard instead.

I just close my eyes and inhale. I've learnt how to calm down. Just close my eyes and inhale deeply a few times until I feel calmed down. It actually helps. It also helps to sleep it off.

But I can feel someone sit beside me. I still inhale deeply a few times before opening my eyes.

Peeta is now sitting beside me. I turn my head to face to him. He's looking at me with concerned eyes.
