Chapter 7

"Where the hell are you?" Johanna yelled into her phone. "I'm here with Clove, now get your flat butt here before I-"

Glimmer's hand wrapped around Johanna's elbow, immediately shutting her up. Johanna practically stabbed the 'end call' button with her finger before glaring at Glimmer.

"I told you not to be late, you sack of blonde dye," Johanna fumed as they sashayed towards the restrooms. "My nailpolish chipped off and you need to repaint it. I'm a rightie, Glimmer."

"I'm not a sack of blonde dye!" Glimmer protested. "I'm all natural."

Johanna stopped and surveyed her friend. Her dark eyes scanned Glimmer up and down before retorting, "You sure 'bout that?"

Clove sniggered and they continued making their way towards the restrooms. When they reached it, Clove outstretched a hand and pushed it open. They entered in a single file, but Clove stopped short. Johanna opened her mouth to snap at the shorter girl, but she halted when she sees the girl who was already there.

Katniss Everdeen emerged from a stall, pitifully tapping her cane against the tiled floors and feeling her way through the restroom. All three girls held their breath as Katniss reached a hand out to grab onto the marble sink. She pulled herself forward and folded her cane up, before feeling for the little railing above the sinks. Katniss placed her cane there and felt for the tap, before turning it and washing her hands. She had to feel for everything, and the girls watched as she managed without any sense of sight.

"You guys do realize I'm blind, not deaf?" Katniss finally spoke up, making Johanna, Clove and Glimmer start.

They filed in, standing as far as they could from the blind girl. Katniss lathered her hands with soap, a small smile on her face as she slightly bowed her head. Why the hell did she do that? She couldn't see anyway. Johanna's rude thoughts and feelings were all over the place the second Katniss opened her mouth.

"Did you just speak to us?" Johanna stepped forward. "Who do you think you are, Katniss Everdeen, honestly?"

Clove snorted, but Glimmer stayed silent. Her jaw dropped slightly as she watched Katniss's sorry state. Katniss rinsed her hands, head still lowered.

"Sorry, didn't realize you were royalty around here," Katniss replied smoothly. "For someone who thinks she's so cunning and sly, you actually have the subtlety of a hand grenade."

Johanna faltered. What did she say to that? The blind girl really had some good comebacks, that Johanna could give her. The taller girl folded her arms, refusing to back down.

"What are you doing, Everdeen? You're already blind," Johanna snapped. "Do you need me to cause you brain damage as well? Because you know I'll do it."

Katniss just laughed, much to the three girls' shock. They really thought she'd be scared, that she'd grab her cane and tap the fuck out of there, but instead she stood her ground, feeling for some tissues and wiping her hands.

"Oh, Johanna. I know you'll do it," Katniss dried her hands thoroughly, smiling slightly. "Because ruining my life once wasn't enough for you, wasn't it?"

Johanna's blood boiled. Anger seeped through the veins and she felt like she was about to explode. How dare this blind, helpless girl attempt to scare her? She was fucking helpless! She could barely do anything without her cane. The rage took Johanna over. She barely thought as she yanked Katniss's arms and turned the girl to face her.

Her hand came up and smacked Katniss hard, right in the face.

Clove's jaw dropped open. Glimmer gasped and took a step back, clapping her hand over her mouth. Both girls were startled at what Johanna had done.

Katniss's glasses flew off her face and skidded to a stop in front of the door. Her scarred eyes were visible. Tears filled her silver irises as her face showed shock and sorrow. Her eyes seemed unable to focus anywhere, as she seemingly stared at the space between Johanna and Glimmer.

"You, Katniss Everdeen, are no victim." Johanna spat in the girl's face.

Johanna's face was still filled with fury as she stormed into a stall, slamming the cubicle door behind her. The bell rang almost immediately, and Clove hurried to the door, not wanting to deal with Johanna or Katniss. Clove left the toilet without so much as a second glance or apology as tears flowed down Katniss's cheeks. She was practically shaking as the impact of the slap delivered by Johanna showed on her red cheek. Glimmer swallowed hard.

She stepped towards the door, picking up Katniss's sunglasses off the floor. She turned it over and over in her hands for a few moments before heading back to the trembling girl. Glimmer reached for Katniss's hand. She took it and opened up Katniss's palm, placing the shades in the brunette's small hand. Glimmer closed Katniss's fingers over the pair of shades.

"This is Glimmer, by the way."
