Panem High (An Everlark Fanfiction)

Chapter 7: Love or Threatened?

Katniss' POV: (The story will be in Katniss’ POV from now on.)

 I wasn't expecting the entire group to be there. Although it is Glimmer's house too so I guess they didn't necessarily come over for me. However, when I walked in there everyone immediately rushed up to their feet. The girls pushed me into the kitchen and immediately they looked at me with puppy dog eyes expecting me to go ahead and tell them everything that happened. 

“Omg! We were inside playing BS when we heard talking!” Glimmer gushes. I should’ve known that they were playing that game because that’s our back up weapon to use when we get bored. I give them a ‘seriously?!’ look. 

“So… we ran over to the window and watched you guys be all cutesy and stuff!” Annie exclaims. 

“So you saw?” I ask embarrassed. They all just assure me not to be embarrassed because supposedly it was  ‘the cutest thing they had ever seen.’ “Awe thanks guys! Come on lets go join the others.” 

I walk into the living room where all of the boys are huddled around Peeta. I cough loudly so they turn around, which exposes a red faced Peeta. We all sit on the rug and begin a new game of BS. This is probably hands down my favorite card game ever. Peeta is sitting next to me with his arm wrapped around my waist. After about three games we play games on the X-box. Peeta, Finnick, Marvel, Cato, and Gale are playing Madden ’14. I have no idea how to play, on the game or in reality. I am not a big sports fan but I do enjoy having people teach me about it. 

I remember how back in District 12, I did archery all the time in the meadow by our house with my dad. He taught me so I can shoot pretty well. Although the only archery game I’ve seen is on the Wii, and none of us play on that anymore. 

Once they finish that game, all of the boys sit on the couch with their girl and apparently Peeta has no problem at all with me sitting (almost but not quite) on his lap. The whole group stares at us while we cuddle. I rest my head against Peeta’s chest. I can feel all eyes on my and it makes me slightly uncomfortable. 

“We should watch a movie!” Finnick pipes up.

“How about ‘Maleficent’?” Annie suggests. All the girls get excited and we can tell the boys are just going along with it because they know what it’s about. 

I loved ‘Sleeping Beauty’ as a little girl. Aurora was my favorite princess, and I was constantly talking about her. However, when last year came around, ‘Maleficent’ was way better than ‘Sleeping Beauty’ ever was, but that is just my opinion! {AN: That’s my true opinion. Anyone else?} 

We all sit around the tv with the fireplace on and watch the movie for about an hour in a half. There’s about half an hour left until the movie is over when I feel myself getting drowsy. I eventually fall asleep dreaming about me and Peeta. I wasn’t dreaming anything nasty or anything but I was still dreaming about him.

It’s about 4:00 in the morning when I wake up thrashing around, screaming and shaking. “Katniss! Katniss wake up! It’s a dream… you’re safe!” I hear Peeta firmly speaking. I am shaking and tears are flowing down my cheeks. I take a look around me and at my surroundings. The t.v. is off but I see all of my friends sitting in a circle around me. Peeta is rubbing my back until I calm down a little bit. All of my friends look horrified and I feel really bad about waking them up but at the same time I’m happy that they are all here and supporting me. 

“Kat what’s wrong? What did you see in your nightmare?” Cato asks me concerned. I think about this until I come to the questionable realization. 

“I…I…” I pause for a really long time until it hits me, “I don’t know.” Everyone looks at me puzzled. “I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m sure it was just a one time thing. You guys should go back to bed. Don’t worry about me i’ll be fine.” 

I try to persuade them until about ten minutes later when Johanna chimes in, “Alright then Kat. Please sleep peacefully and wake us if it ever comes back. I’m starting to worry about you!” Johanna then climbs onto the couch and buries herself in the covers drowsily falling back asleep. Soon everyone is back asleep but I have a feeling that they are sleeping lightly because of the scenario that happened earlier. 

A few hours pass by and I know that there is no way that I’m going to fall back asleep. So, I slowly slither out of Peeta’s arms, trying not to wake him up and go into the kitchen and fix myself a glass of warm milk. It has always helped me sleep even since I was a baby. Once I sit on the granite counter top I feel warm hands wrap around my waist and by the firmness of them I can tell that they are Peeta’s. 

“What are you doing up?” He asks concerned.

“I couldn’t sleep it’s okay it will be daylight in a few hours anyway.” I assure him.

“Well I’m worried about you Kat. What was the dream about? You seemed so calm when you drifted off to sleep.”

“It’s nothing I promise you.” I can tell he doesn’t believe me one bit. “I will tell you if something is wrong okay?”

“Okay.” He agrees. I finish my milk when I hop down from the counter and hug Peeta. I put my mug in the sink when I get a call from ‘Unknown’. I answer it, “Hello?” There’s no answer. “Hellooo?” I ask dragging out the end of ‘Hello’. I am just getting impatient now and I hear whoever was on the other end drop the call. 

“Who was that?” Peeta asks curiously. 

We start back for the living room,“Just someone prank calling me I guess.” I laugh it off so Peeta doesn’t get some strange idea of who the caller could be. I hear my phone buzz indicating that I’m receiving a text.

 “You coming?” Peeta asks me being considerably closer to the living room than I am.

“Yeah.” I reply. “One sec!” I look down at my iPhone 6 and open up the text message.
