Chapter 15:
' Sometimes every word has been used and there's nothing to do
But hold the one can't have in the sweet arms of a tune'
“I saw you both talking” Annie said once the others left.
Finnick joined in “I did too. Have you asked her out?”
“No” I sighed. They look at me with such disbelief
“Why not?” “You’ve been crushing at her for ages!” they said at the same time
“It’s a long story” I said, my eyes drifting to the window.
“I have two hours to spare” Finnick replied
“And I have three” Annie grinned at me
“Fine” I sighed.
With that, I spilled everything, from asking her to go to New York till we got to Gale’s cabin and when she found me.
“Ignore Gale” Annie said
“No. I’m not ignoring him. His family has close ties with mine, I’ve known him since we were little”
“So you’re playing martyr now?” Finnick asked.
“I’m not!” I protested
“When you listen to it, it really does sound like it. The whole ‘I like this girl and so does my best friend’ business" Finnick said
“He kissed her” I pointed out
“She locked herself in her room after” Annie countered
“She came to look for you” Finnick added
“I asked her why and she said because we had classes the next day”
Annie sighed. “Don’t give up just yet. You’re not exactly a hopeless case”
“But I am!” I said
“You sound like a child” Annoyance lined Finnick's tone.
I rolled my eyes.
“You guys talked this morning. How’d it go?” Annie asked
“I asked her to forget what I told her, that last night in the cabin”
Annie and Finnick shared a look. “That’s it, we’re both helping you”
“I rather deal with this on my own” I replied.
“If you want to. But we’re here when you need us” Annie smiles.
