Mockingjay High

Party Part 2

Katniss POV:

   After everyone had calmed down and Peeta had helped me into a beach chair beside the pool we decided to play Truth Odair. Finnicks favorite game.

   Finnick decides that he should ask first because it is after all named after him. We all groaned but agreed not wanting to fight.

   "Alright... Truth Odair... Clove." Finnick's goofy voice pauses dramatically throughtout his sentence until he finally calls out the name in an extremely cocky tone. Clove looks at Finnick suspiciously then leans back breathing her answer in a frustrated tone.

   "Dare." Finnick smiles happily and Clove rolls her eyes.

"I dare you to... put ice in your swimsuit top and bottoms until they melt." He leans back with a proud smirk displayed on his face. Clove glares at him. Then growls and hops up and goes to the kitchen and comes back shivering like crazy.

   She slowly sits down rubbing her arms up and down quickly warming herself up somewhat. Everyone laughs but I just smile sheepishly not knowing if I was close enough to everyone to be able to laugh at this kind of thing.

   "Truth Odair Annie." Clove states still shivering. Annie looks up surprised that her name was called.

   "Uh... dare?" She whispers nervously. Clove smirks as she shakes and Annie's face pales.

   "Play seven minutes in heaven with Finnick in his parents closet." Clove smirks at Finnick as his jaw drops my eyes widden suprised by the dare.

   I look over at the rest of the group and see them rolling around laughing. I'm surprised just because I didn't expect this from these people.

   Annie nervously stands and follows Finnick inside. Clove follows along with Cato, Marvel, and Glimmer. Leaving Peeta and I outside by the pool.

   "Are you okay Katniss? I know we can be kind of crazy, and I don't want them to scare you off." Peeta scoots closer to me. I look at him suprised as he puts and arm around my shoulder. I blush slightly and then respond.

   "Um, no I'm, um, I'm, just, um, kind of suprised, I guess. I didn't expect you guys to do this kind of thing. I don't know you just um, didn't seem like um, the kind of people to um, do, this, um, kind of thing." I stumble over my words my tongue trying to tie itself into a thousand knots as Peeta shifts even closer holding me to his side. I blush deeper. He chuckles and nods.
 
   I smile up at him and gently lay my head on his shoulder hoping he doesn't mind. He doesn't seem to he just stares at me and I stare at him.

   He starts to slightly lean down and I wait patiently as his lips are just about to touch mine the patio door opens behind us with a lot of noise and Gale comes tumbling out with Johanna right behind him.

   Peeta and I quickly jump apart. I look at there faces and see that Gale's face has dark lipstick stains all over and Johanna's dark lipstick seems to be smeared and messed up.

   I raise my eyebrows. Looking at Peeta I see the same expression when he sees me looking he smirks and I follow suit. We quickly hop up and rush to stand right in front of them.

   "Hey lovebirds." Johanna mumbles as she stands Peeta and I raise our eyebrows at each other. Did they see our moment? Nah. I chuckle.

   "Oh, so were the lovebirds? I mean I thought that was you two, I mean at least my lipstick isn't smudged and all over Peeta's face. Kinda like yours..." I purr sweetly smirking and piercing my lips slightly making sure to cock an eyebrow.

   Johannas eyes widden and so does Gales as they look at each other. Johanna scowls and sighs unhappily.

   "Fine you caught us Brainless. Were dating. But don't you dare tell the rest of the group. We'll tell them when were ready." Johanna snarls at me. I smile and pad forward tapping her cheek lightly.
