The Next Morning I tried to avoid seeing and talking to Four,as today was Christina and Molly's fight as well as Al and Will. I was spared since I fought yesterday and won. My body aches from that,but then Four kissed me yesterday,and I don't know how I feel about that,all I know is that it was a mistake. He's my instructor,not a sixteen year old boy.

"What's wrong,Catnip?"Cato asks me

"Uh nothing."I lied

I'm a terrible liar, I wouldn't choose Candor.

"You are a terrible liar,Catnip."he laughs

He was flirting with me,since I got here he's been flirting with me. Than there's Four and Peeta.

"It's why I didn't choose Candor."I laugh

"I like you,Catnip."Cato says

You aren't the only one,I thought.

"Katniss."Four calls

I quickly put my head down,hopeful that he'll think I'm asleep. But he taps my shoulder. Damn it.

"I need to talk to you."He says

I get up and follow him,Eric's eyes are on us. He needs to dismiss it.

"Look about the kiss."he says

"Forget about it,it was in the heat of a moment and it's by accident."I said

"Actually,I want to kiss you again."he says

Thank God the Dauntless are loud because someone coulda overheard what Four just said.

"Four,your my instructor."I said

"I know Katniss."He says

I want to say something but I can't find the words I want to say.

"You can't deny it either."he says

"It's good I think with my mind,not my body."I said

Later on we are given guns,when Four handed me mine,I can't say that there wasn't a spark there but I dismiss it and start shooting,I hit the target six times,each bullet in the middle.

"Impressive Stiff."Eric says

"Thank you."I said

Afterwards,I found Four alone. I kiss him,and I don't feel a single ping of regret. My arms around his neck,as his blue eyes looked into my grey ones.

"You kissed me."he says

"Because I wanted too."I said

He kisses me back.

"Do you trust me now?"he asks me

"Yes."I said hoping he doesn't break my trust "do you trust me?"I ask him

"Yes,and your the only one I trust."He says,his blue eyes suddenly piercing

He looks around,and then at my necklace.

"What kind of bird is that?"He asks me

"I believe my father said that it was a Mockingjay,the bird that can repeat sounds and songs."I said

"It's a beautiful bird."he says

"Thank you."I said

"You should go,before bread boy gets suspicious."he smirks

"His name is Peeta."I remind him

"Like the bread."he laughs

I kiss him again before I leave,and I feel all jittery and happy. It's been awhile. Peeta handed me a slice of cake,pretty much covered in chocolate.

"Dauntless cake?"I ask him

"Yeah."he says

I take a bite.

"Oh my God,it's amazing."I smiled

Later that night,I wake up to screaming. And to see a butter knife in Edward's eye.

"Holy shit."I swore

I carry him to the infirmary as I then go back to clean up the mess. As I stand in front of Four's door in a black shirt and shorts,my hair was a mess.

"I don't want a butter knife in my eye so can I sleep in here tonight?"I ask him

He nods,as I lay my head on his chest. As I hear his heart beat like a lullaby I fall asleep.
