Chapter 3 || My secrets are burning a hole through my heart

Katniss P.O.V.

We hear a knock on the door.

"I'll get it" I say, running out of the bedroom into the living room, I slow down my pace as I get to the door when I open the door. He stands there the most good-looking guy I have ever seen his dirty ash blonde curls fall down his forehead and crystal blue eyes look into my grey ones.

"uhhh.....is this room 286" He says nervously.

"I think what he meant to say was.. are you single" the other guy says with a smirk on his face, he has golden coloured hair with sea green eyes like Annie and a bronze tan. I start blushing because of how awkward he is.

"yes this is room 286...why?" I say awkwardly and confused.

"well my friend here couldn't find his stupid iPhone recharger, so we were running late and when we got here they said there were no dorms left so they sent us here" he says smoothly. his voice, oh I could listen to it all day long, snap out of it Katniss remember what Gale did to you. As I get out of my thoughts, I realise they are still here.

"oh sorry I zoned out, come in" I say, surprisingly unawkward like. As we walk in I see the same reactions on their faces that I had.

"its a nice place don't you think" I say smiling.

"nice?...this place is huge" says the guy with sea green eyes.

"oh.. I forgot to introduce myself I'm Katniss and this is.. just wait a sec" I say running into the bedroom to grab Annie. I come back with Annie.

"and this is Annie" I say.

"well I'm Peeta and this is my friend...Finnick" Peeta says looking at Finnick, he nudges him with his elbow, Finnick is staring at Annie, you can tell he likes her.

"oh sorry I'm Finnick, Finnick Odair" he says rather fast, Annie giggles, She never giggles. They're going to make such a good couple.

"well nice to meet you Peeta and Finnick" says Annie smiling.

"nice to meet you to" says Finnick. As I am looking at Annie and Finnick I see Peeta staring at me. I turn to him and as soon as I look at him he looks at his shoes, blushing.

"well I'll leave you two to unpack" I say,

"Our room is the forest green coloured room, you guys can take the orange coloured one." I watch them walk into their bedroom once they enter, I walk into our bedroom with Annie. I shut the door behind me.

"I see you have your eye on someone there" I say winking and smiling as I jump on the bed that Annie's sitting on.

"ohh shut up, I think Peeta has an eye on you" says Annie smiling.

I frown " I don't think I can trust anyone again, after what Gale did to me" I say on the edge of crying,

"and on top of that both my parents and sister past away Annie, I don't if I can love someone and trust some one the same way ever again." I say as a tear falls down my cheek.

"Gale could be anywhere, he could be stalking me at this moment!" I say crying.

"I understand that you just want me to be happy, but I don't know if I can be happy the same way I was before" I say wiping my tears out of my eyes,

"Kat I do want you to be happy, remember why we came here, to start fresh and forget about our horrible past, people use to bully and tease me too you know we just need to stay strong you know" she says calmly she always knows how to make me feel better.

"You're right but I guess there will still be a part of me that will always remember about Gale and my family, sometimes I wish that I could be with my family again and not having to go through the pain of reality" I say

"Kat don't you ever say that!" she says rather loud which startles me because she never yells.

"we came here to forget, forget about Gale, to forget about our family and the crash, to forget about those people who bullied me, to forget about everything we went through and to start fresh, not to try to commit suicide, everything that you've gone through has made you a stronger person, I know that if I had to go through that I would not be here today, you're the strongest and bravest person I know, she says not as loud as before.

I sigh and nod.

"I just hope they didn't over hear our conversation" I say pointing to the wall next to us.

"I doubt they would've" Annie says with an edge of worriedness.

Peeta P.O.V.

As me and Finnick enter the sunset orange coloured bedroom, I keep remembering the way her eyes looked the grey iris with a touch of blue, I could stare at them forever.

"well, well, well looks like lover boy here has an eye on someone" says Finnick smiling interrupting me from my thoughts.

"will you ever shut up Finnick" I say laughing,

"I'm afraid not" Finnick says a little worried as he knows what's coming.

"what about you and Annie hey, I saw the way you looked at her" I say nudging him.

he laughs "we should start packing," he says trying to change the conversation,

"alright, alright" I say chuckling.

As we enter the wardrobe. I hear Katniss and Annie talking. But then suddenly..

"Kat don't you ever say that" says Annie shouting, god she has a loud voice for such a small person.

"shhh lets listen" says Finnick.

"I don't think we should listen to what they're say" I get cutoff by Annie again.

"we came here to forget, forget about Gale, to forget about our family and the crash, to forget about those people who bullied me, to forget about everything we went through and to start fresh, not to try to commit suicide, everything that you've gone through has made you a stronger person, I know that if I had to go through that I would not be here today, you're the strongest and bravest person I know" she says not as loud as before.

What has Katniss been through? Who is this Gale? What happened to her family and this crash what about this crash? all these thoughts bounce around in my head.

What has Katniss been through?
