After the war (A Mocking jay sequel)

Chapter Two- The Capitol

Katniss's POV-
Its Caesar Flickerman. He says something about a reunion and other stuff. I barely listen until I hear mine and Peeta's name. We are supposed to go back to the capitol in 3 days!! We have never gotten a call about this.. and just then the phone rings. Giving us A heads up before they aired it all over Panem would've been nice. But now we have to go. I think that was the point...

3 days later..
Katniss's POV-
Peeta and I are packed for the capitol and leave in a hour. I'm dreading the trip. We ended up leaving a little earlier. The paparazzi crowds our house. I hate the spotlight but I guess that's what comes with saving the country from dictatorship. We barely got to the train on time with everyone following us and blocking our way. I really wanted to give them death glares but Peeta insisted I wave and smile and so i did.

At the capitol..
Katniss's POV-
As soon as we get to President Paylor's mansion I go see her. I am furious. Peeta tries to calm me down by reminding me she is now the ruler of Panem. That just makes me more mad. When I reach her office I don't even bother knocking, I just go right in. "Hello Kat-" I cut her off and say, "What the hell was that?" I pause, "announcing to Panem I would go to a reunion I didnt even agree to go to, or want to go to!! I'm not ready! My wounds are still fresh!" I yell. Trying to compose myself. President Paylor gives me a stare for a few moments and says, oddly calming, "All of our wounds are still fresh. And lets be honest with each other, our wounds will always be somewhat fresh. We need to show all of Panem how we are doing. You dont have to be okay. Just explain How you're doing and socialize for a few minutes and you can leave." I pause, shocked, then say, "That's it?" She nods, "That's it." I take a moment processing the information and say, "well if that's it then why didnt you just call before?" She puts on the best smile she can and says, "Cause I knew you'd hang up at the words of coming back to the capitol and wouldn't hear me out." I nod, still a little mad. I leave the room and turn to peeta, "So that's all she wants us to do? Tell Panem how we're doing, socialize with others for a few moments and then we can leave?" I ask. Peeta nods, "Yep. I guess so." I shake my head. "What is it?" Peeta asks, concern on his face. "It's too easy." Peeta looks at me confused. "She would not have mentioned it on live tv that we are going to the capitol without warning me first if it were for something this simple. Something big is gonna happen and I want to be ready." Peeta looks at me. He knows its true but being the good amazing guy he is, he gives the benefit of the doubt. I feel that's why were so good together, he gives the good side of things and i give the bad, though not always.
