A Victim of Love

Truth? Odair?

I pop the flip on another coke can and sit down on the shag carpet. Given that I've forgave Peeta of the little accident the other day all our friends did too.

Tonight. We're having a sleepover at Finnick's house. I shuffle into the circle as I sit cross cross applesauce. Yes. I still say that. Yeah. Be jealous.

Anyway.

I laugh as the group watches a 'super intense' match of the staring contest that's going on between Annie and Madge. I snort as Annie's eyes water. Tears trickle down her porcelain skin and I laugh a little.

She blinks up at me...Realizing that she lost she slams her fists to the carpet.

"Arg! Totally unfair Katniss!" she whines as she cuddles into Finnicks shoulder. I roll my eyes.

"Whatever. " I say.

Shoving Peeta playfully as he grabs a strand of hair and tickles the inside of my ear.

He tumbles over and knocks the popcorn over.

"Way to go brainless." Johanna mutters.

I stick my tongue out at her.

"Peeta. Could you pretty please get me more popcorn?" I batt my eyelashes.

"Why? your the one that pushed me." He counters.

"YOUR the one that tickled me!" I throw back. "Now get your lazy ass up and get me some pop corn. "

"Hokayyyy your majesty. I'll be back. " He curtseys and winks at me before turning away with the empty bowl.

I sigh and turn back to the group.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Finnick shouts.

Of course. Well. It's our fault. We all knew he would HAVE to bring it up sometime. I smile and grab a glass coke bottle. Madge refuses to drink from the can cause glass 'emphasizes the flavor'. Whatever the hell that means.

I place the bottle in the center if the circle and spin it. It slowly comes to a stop.

Annie.

"Okay Annalise. Truth or dare?" I raise my eyebrow at her.

"Umm... Dare!" she answers.

I ponder a second. 'What should I dare her to do?'

I can't do anything too drastic for Annie. Or Madge at the matter. Hard core skater girls aren't the way these chicks roll. Me and Johanna. Well that's a whole different story.

"I dare you... to go up to Peeta with this coke can and spray him shouting. 'This boy is on fiiiireee!!!'"

I poke a hole inside the top lid for Annie to spray easier and hand her the bottle. She takes it tentatively. Oh common Annie. It's just water.

She finally stands up with determination plastered on her face. She slips off her slippers so she doesn't make much noise and tip toes into the kitchen where Peeta is.

The wall blocks my view. I suddenly hear a loud yell and an object hit the floor.

All I can here is Annie screaming at the top of her lunges. The only word I can make out is 'this'.

I roll over laughing as Peeta walks in with a stunned look on his face and Annie with her hand over her mouth. Peeta walks up to me. Something in his hand.

He holds it out to me. A half full bowl of soggy brownish popcorn...

Oh dear.

Or should I say Odair?
