Katniss POV

The next day is filled with worry. I have nightmares about what happened with Finnick and I. I feel that I'm screwing Annie over on it. I don't know. I don't know if I really love Finnick, maybe I just think I do. As I lay there, warm under my covers the door opens. I jump and turn to see Annie.

"Hey, you okay?" she asks walking in.

"Yeah, I'm good. Why?" I ask sitting up.

"You don't look good. You've been avoiding all contact with us since the party. Is it about Finnick?" she asks. I sigh and nod.

"Yeah...I don't know if we could just build a relationship cause of one night of sex that was and accident." I say looking down.

"Sadly thats the truth but I think he's liked you longer." she says. "I saw the way he looks at you sometimes. Why don't you give it a shot, very slowly but at least try." I nod.

"Maybe." I say. "But you wanna go out? I'm getting kinda bored." she smiles.

"Sure, lets go out for a nice day." she says. I nod and get ouf of bed, I get dressed and we leave the house. We walk down the sidewalk and to the mall, its not so far away. We walk in and start to go from store to store. 

"Hey, you hungry?" I ask. She nods as we look around for a place to eat. We decide for Subway so we head there, sitting down after ordering.

"I still can't believe what happened at the party." she says. I sigh and nod.

"It shouldn't have." I mumble. "It was a big mistake and its even worse that I said I love him."

"What?! When?!" she asks looking at me with big eyes. 

"Right when we woke up." I say. She groans and looks down.

"You are not that smart." she says.

"No shit Annie! What do I do?" I ask. She sighs and shrugs.

"I don't know this time Kat. I'm sorry." she says. "Look..just talk to him. Tell him it was a mistake and that you don't want it to effect your friendship."

"When has that ever worked?" I ask making her give me a dumbfounded look.

"Well...you...ahhh come on! I'm just trying to help you!" she says.

"I know Annie. Lets just have a nice day then maybe a movie night?" I say. She smiles and nods so we finish our food before continuing to look around. As we walk somebody crashes into from behind, taking my bag. Really? He runs off so I jump to my feet and start to run after him.

"Katniss stop!" Annie yells but all my shit's in that bag and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some punk steal it. I run as fast as I can but soon he's tackled to the ground. I come to stop next to him to see he was tackled by....Peeta?!

"Peeta?!" I say. He groans and looks up. "What are you doing here?!"

"I..oww...fuck! I was shopping with my mother for my brother's birthday when I heard Annie call your name." he says standing up and handing me my bag. "Here."

"I..uhh..umm...thanks Peeta." I say. He smiles slightly but nods.

"Its fine." he turns to walk back to his mother waiting for him. I can't be a dick so I walk up to him, stopping him.

"Can I do something to thank you?" I ask. He gives me a confused look. "Its just...the locket my grandmother gave me was in here. It means the world to me."

"Oh.." he says. I stand there abit before coming up with something.

"How about...we...I don't know...do something together?" I ask.

"I hate you." he says.

"I hate you too but...come on...we've known each other for so long." I say. He groans and nods.

"Fine." he says. "I'll text you." he walks back and away with his mother. I walk back to Annie.

"What happened?" she asks.

"Peeta...he was here. He stopped him." I say making her smile.

"You know...if anybody likes you I think its Peeta." she says making me cringe.

"Peeta? Peeta Mellark? I don't think so." I say.

"Come on! I've seen him staring at you sooooooooooo damn much." she says. 

"In hate." I say. 

"Oh no. In something else." she says. What if she's right? What if Peeta likes me? I mean....I may like him somewhere but not like that. Never. 

"Can we just go? I've had enough for today." I say. She nods and we start our way back to my house but the whole way back the only thing in my mind is Peeta Mellark.
