(Katniss POV)
I went out to get the mail this morning and I found something interesting addressed to me. It was a party invitation and it doesn't say who it's from. I look around to see if anyone might be watching me, but I don't see anyone. I walk back inside and throw the rest of the mail onto the table.
"What's that in your hand, Katniss?" I look over at my dad.
"Someone sent me a party invitation" he takes it from my hands and looks over it.
"Lets see where this address is," he says and he gets his computer and looks it up.
"It's a cabin," he says. He starts to look into it more, but can't find the owners.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but, "Can I go?" he looks up at me like I'm not even his child.
"You want to go?" I nod my head and smile at him.
"I think it's time I meet new people," He smiles at me.
"sure, why not."
The party starts at eight so I decide to take a nap until then.
-7:30-
I get a taxi to drive me up to the cabin since I would rather my dad not take me. I'm nervous to go to this party where I know no one. What if that girl is there? What if she throws smoothie all over me again? What if that Peeta guy is there? What if he tells or has told everyone how much of a bitch I am? I'm starting to regret going, but it's too late to turn around now, the taxi is already in the drive way and there are a ton of people.
I walk inside to hear the music blaring and people dancing, talking, or making out. I make my way through the people trying to find a nice quiet place to sit and be anti-social. I find a place to sit, but it's not quiet whatsoever. I scan the room and my eyes land on that Peeta guy, great. He looks over at me, but makes no move to come over and talk to me.
"Well look who showed up" My head snaps up and I see that girl standing right in front of me.
"Are you lonely?" I shrug my shoulders.
"lets get you some friends shall we?" She tries to take my wrist to lift me up, but I pull away.
"I'm trying to be nice here you bitch" she grabs my wrist and pulls me onto the stage where a DJ is standing.
"Hey!" the DJ turns off the music and everyone focuses their attention on us.
"This is Katpiss and I think we should teach her a little lesson about being nice to strangers who come up to you to comfort you" Everyone starts cheering her on. They all know what happened between Peeta and I.
"It's too late now Katpiss, they all know," she whispers into my ear. My eyes land on Peeta and I see some people around him talking to him.
"Delly, stop don't do this," Peeta says and I'm so happy he did that.
"Why should I, Peeta? She was mean to you and I think she needs to be taught some manners.
"Just let her go" he yells and she pushes me off the stage and I fall on my side. Everyone crowds around me to take pictures and video me.
"I think its time for you to go" Delly picks me up by my arms and tosses me out of the cabin. I hear the door open then close again.
"Are you okay?" I Look up to see Peeta by me.
"No, not really" I rub my arm.
"I'm sorry she did that to you I didn't know she would act that way" I just shrug.
"Don't be sorry I've been getting bullied ever since I got here" I get up and sit on a curb, while still rubbing my arm.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, the first night, I got prank called at 3 in the morning, the second day, Delly threw a smootie all over me while I was walking home, and that leaves us to present time. Oh and by the way the other day when I snapped at you I really didn't mean to come off as a total bitch"
"It's okay don't worry about it and I'm sorry for telling Delly what happened"
"Are you friends with Delly?"
"She was my girlfriend about 5 minutes ago"
"You dumped her?"
"Yep, she deserved it"
"Now she has a better reason to hate me"
"Why would she hate you if I broke up with her?"
"It's not a coincidence that you broke up wih her right after she treated me like shit"
"Well, I won't let her bully you okay?"
"Thanks. I better call a taxi to take me home" I pull my phone out to see I have no bars.
"Great, I'm stuck here"
"I can give you a ride" I look up at him and he seems a little more happy about it than he should be.
"Really?" he nods. I have to admit, now that I get a good look at him he is really really cute.
"Yeah, come on."
I get up off the curb and follow him to his car. I'm probably crazy for trusting this guy to give me a ride home.
I scoff at myself, that seemed to catch his attention. "What?" I look over at him.
"Oh, I was just laughing at myself because I'm actually letting you drive me home"
He looks confused, "What do you mean?"
"For all I know you could be an axe murderer" he laughs at that.
"I can assure you I am not an axe murderer" he grins at me.
"How can I believe you?" I start getting in the car anyway.
"Well, for one I have no idea where you could even get an axe and two I know your father" I look over at him.
"How do you know my father?"
"I helped him renovate your house a little and some other stuff before you guys got here"
"Oh"
The ride back to my house is fairly quiet with the music playing in the background. when we pull up to my house I start to get out but he grabs my wrist. I look back at him, "I'm sorry for Delly" I give him a small smile , "You aren't the one who should be apologizing."
He loosens his grips on my hand, "I know but she'll never apologize so someone has to right?"
I get out if the car and stand by it "I'd like to hear it from her. Thanks for the ride, Peeta"
"No problem, Katniss" I give him a small smile then head inside.
I stop right in my tracks to see two familiar faces sitting with my dad.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Who are the two familiar faces? Why are they there?
Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm gonna start updating again (: and revising You Saved Me.
