"HURRY!" Annie squeals in my ear as she shoves me into a change room.

I groan as the door clicks shut. Do we really have to try on so many dresses? You would think after the first 20 dresses, Annie would give up on finding a dress for me. But nooo this shopper is determined.

"Annie do I have to" I whine looking at the pile of dresses.

"Yup" she says and giggles.

I dig through the pile, till I find something that somewhat appeals to me.

Its a dark forest green, and comes to just above my knees. Its strapless and has a thick blak belt that goes around my waist. I study myself in the mirror. Actually not half bad.

"Are you ready yet?" I hear Annie chirp.

"yep" I say and slowly unlock the door, stepping out of the stall.

"Oh my god. KATNISS YOU LOOK AMAZING!" She squeals.

I chuckle "Thanks"

"That's it were buying that one!" Annie practically orders.

"finally find something brainless?" Says Jo as she walks around the corner.

"ya I guess so" I laugh.

Sense I'm the last one to find a dress, we decide to head home to get ready. I don't see why, its still 2 hours till the party, but apparently thats not enough time to get ready according to Annie.

suddenly, a girly voice pipes up "Girls!! why didn't you tell me you were going shopping without me?". We all turn around and there stands no other then Glimmer. She use to be a part of our group, along with Cato, but they both left, which was no problem with us. Nobody liked them anyway.

Our group has kind of shrunk. It use to be Annie, Peeta, Finnick, Fox Face, Glimmer, Cato, Clove, Johanna, and me. But then Cato and Glimmer left the group, Fox Face moved to the capital, and Clove is visiting her dad right now, and wont be back for about 4 more weeks.

I could care less about Glimmer and Cato. Glimmer was always a bitch to me anyways.

"Oh hey Glimmer" we all say.

"Are you getting dresses for the party?" she questions.

"uh yeah" I say.

"ooooo me to!"

why is she acting like this? Ugh shes really annoying. "Well we should go" I say and grab Annie and Johanna's arms and pull them away before she can say anything else.

******************

We arrive at home and Annie whisks us upstairs. "Here you shower in there then put this on" she says to me and shoves me into her bathroom.

I quickly undress and step into the steamy shower. The sweet smelling bubbles scrub away all the dirt. I quickly shave and get out. I look down at what she gave me to wear. It's a fuzzy house coat. I chuckle and slip it on, tying it tight. I brush my hair and leave the bathroom. Soon Annie and Jo come back wearing the same house coat. I chuckle.

"Ok first things first, we need to paint our nails so they have plenty of time to dry" she says as she pulls out a bin of nail polish.

I hate painting my nails. I look down at my short dirty ones.

I manage to convince Annie to let me only wear the clear nail polish. It wasn't easy, but eventually she agreed to it.

Are nails are soon dry. Annie went with a light pink, and Jo was forced to go with the dark purple.

"ok I'm assuming you girls shaved your legs in the shower, so put this on them" she says and hands us each a bottle of moisturizing cream. I quickly rub it in.

"OK now for the best part, she says happily. I'm about to pull mine into a braid when she stops me.

"no I will do it!" She grins. I sigh and we all laugh.

She blow drys it and lets it fall in smooth waves down my back. Annie quickly grabs the curler.

Soon, my hair goes from its normal braid, to soft curls flowing down my back and over my shoulders.

"Now for the makeup!" she says.

Johanna and I both give each other one glance and bolt for the door. Annie is there in a instant, and slams the door shut.

"Its not that bad! I promise" she says with a giggle. We sigh and take a seat.

After she does mine, when I look in the mirror I cant help but gasp. I actually look good. I expected to look like Glimmer or Delly, but Annie put on just the right amount.

"thanks Annie" I say and smile at her.

We all put on our dresses.

"are the guys picking us up?" I ask as I glance at the time.

"nope were meeting them there"

"ok" I say as we get into her car.

We soon arrive at Finnicks. This is not my ideal way of spending a Friday, I'm not into partys. As soon as I step out, I can smell the alcohol. My nose crinkles up as we make our way up the steps. Annie runs over to Finnick and gives him a kiss. Wheres Peeta?

"Im going to get a drink, want something brainless?" Jo asks me.

"no thanks Jo" I say. Everything is probably spiked. She nods before turning on her heel and walking away.

Is Peeta here yet? This is so awkward.

I stand in the corner alone, scanning the room for anyone I know. I sigh and am about to pull out my phone, when two arms suddenly wrap around me from behind.

"ah!" I sceam and try to wiggle out of the persons arms. Suddenly I realize I know these arms. I spin around and see a laughing Peeta.

"not funny! you scared me!"

"im sorry babe" he chuckles. "you look beautiful" he whispers and leans down and kisses me. I smile and kiss him back.

He has been drinking. I can tell because his breath has a hint of alcohol in it. "Peeta how much have you drank" I giggle.

"well.. it turns out the punch was spiked" he says with a puzzled frown. I laugh. knew it!

"come on lets dance" he smiles and pulls me onto the dance floor.

We dance for awhile to the upbeat song. I'm starting to get really thirsty, but I dont drink.

"Peeta is there any non-alcoholic drinks?" I ask as we walk off the dance floor.

"I think theres coke in the cooler, I will go grab you one" he says and kisses my cheek before slipping away.

I wait for awhile for him to come back. where could he be? He's taking forever.

"have you seen Peeta?" I ask Annie.

"umm I think I saw him a bit ago with Delly"

Wait what??? why is he with Delly?!

I storm across the room, shoving my way past all the people. I stop at where he should be, at the cooler and look up. I dont believe it. He's dancing with Delly. Are you kidding me? I feel a firey rage build inside of me. He offered to get me a drink, then goes off and dances with my worst enemy? The person who has bullied with me sense the day I walked into this school.

I dont only feel mad at him, but also a bit of heartbreak.

Whatever. I quickly run in the direction of the door. But I crash into someone on the way there. I look up at the person "sorry Jo" I mutter when I see its Johanna.

"It's o- hey what's wrong brainless?" she asks.

"Peeta said he was going to get me a coke but he took forever, and when I found him he was dancing with Delly" I say sadly

"ugh I hate that slut" she says angrily and storms away. I run outside.

I should just go home. This was a bad idea anyway.

I know I have had too much to drink. It started with the punch that turned out to be spiked, then people kept pushing them on me. "Peeta!" I hear someone hiss and grab my arm. They dig their nails into my arm as I'm pulled off the dance floor.

its Johanna "oh hey Johanna" I mutter.

"Dont hey Johanna me! Whats your problem?! Katniss just left almost in tears! she said you went to get her a drink and started dancing with Delly? Go talk to her now!" she barks.

KATNISS'S POV

I stand in the lawn. There is drunk people sprawled on the lawn. I sigh. I cant deny that I'm feeling hurt.

Just as I'm about to start walking home, The front door bursts open. "Katniss! Wait, please!" I hear him call. I turn around and see no other then Peeta.

"What" I spit.

"What happened?". Great he's drunk.

"You just left me standing there for Delly!!" I say frustrated.

I can see his face go blank. "Katniss... I..uh..." he fumbles out. I feel the tears run down my face.

"Katniss I went to get your coke..." "Whatever" I cut him off. he sighs and runs his hand through his hair. "She pulled me onto the dance floor... I didn't know what was going on".

"Well it looks like you were having fun! Maybe you should just go back to the slut!" I spit and turn on my heel.

I feel his hand grab my wrist and spin me around and he kisses me. I shove him off as tears spill out my eyes. I sprint away, down the dark street. He doesn't follow. And I dont stop running.

Eventually I slow down to a stop. I want to get home, it's really creepy in the seam at night.

Soon I'm at home and fly upstairs to my bedroom. I forgot Prim is over at rues because I was sleeping over at Peetas. My phone is buzzing like crazy beside me, properly all texts from Peeta. He calls once or twice, but I ignore the calls.

Soon I drift off into a sleep full of nightmares.
