Beatrice smiled and walked over, "Duh!" The two sat together for a little while. He taught her different techniques, how to blend and layer the colors together.
After about ten minutes, Katniss walked over to the pair. Beatrice looked up and smiled warmly at her. The blonde received a small smile back. It wasn't much, but Beatrice considered it a win.
The older girl looked back down and followed Peeta's instructions. Katniss took this time to study Beatrice. Beatrice was undeniably beautiful. Her bright, platinum blonde hair and dark brown eyebrows would look unnatural to some, but to Katniss, it was the perfect contrast. Her eyes were a light shade of turquoise, like a crystal clear ocean. Small freckles were dotted around her face and she had a small scar running through her left eyebrow.
Before Katniss could move to look at the girl's lips, Beatrice sat up excitedly. Katniss thanked whatever God there was that Beatrice didn't catch her looking at her like a creep.
"Look Katniss!" Beatrice exclaimed and flipped her hand around to show the brunette. It was decorated by what seemed to be a forest floor.
"Thanks Peeta! I gotta show Finnick," Beatrice gave Peeta a side hug before rushing up to find Finnick.
Katniss watched the girl go to the District Four man before turning back to Peeta. The blond wore a smirk on his face.
"What?" Katniss asked when she saw the look on his face.
"You know what," Peeta said with a sly chuckle.
"No, I don't. Care to inform me?" Katniss said with exasperation.
Peeta gave her an are-you-serious look. He let out a sigh, "The way you were looking at her. Like she was the only person in the room. You weren't very subtle about it."
Katniss whips her head around to look at him. "What? I was not!" Katniss exclaimed a bit louder than intended. A few people turned around to look at them.
"Your reaction just told me everything I need to know," Peeta said while chuckling, "It's okay to like someone, Katniss. Just go talk to her."
Katniss looked down at her hands before saying, "How? I'm not very good at talking to people, you know that."
"Yeah, I know. Trust me," Katniss rolled her eyes at his statement, "Just go offer to teach her how to use a bow or something."
Katniss thought it wasn't a bad idea. She thanked Peeta for the advice before getting up and walking over to where Beatrice was.
"Beatrice," Katniss said to get the blonde's attention. She looked away from Finnick and to the brunette. The blonde smiled a bit unconsciously. Finnick smirked at the sight before walking away.
"Wanna learn how to use a bow?" Katniss asked. A bit awkwardly, but it was progress. Beatrice was starting to get her to open up.
"Sure! Sounds fun," Beatrice said with a giggle, "But, be warned, I'm very bad at it. Vaughn tried to teach me and I almost took his eye out."
"Of course you did," Katniss said. Beatrice got deja vu from the previous day when she said that exact line to Katniss.
The girls walked to the area where the bow and arrows were. Katniss stood behind Beatrice as she showed her the correct form. Beatrice could feel the breath from the brunette on her neck, but said nothing about it.
After about 20 minutes, Beatrice finally got a bullseye. Beatrice threw her arms up in triumph. "Thank you, Kat!" she said and circled her arms around Katniss' neck. She was a bit stiff at first, but relaxed into hug and squeezed her waist.
"Wanna go try it out?" Katniss said as she pulled away, pointing to a dark room. It was the room with the animated holograms.
"Nah, I'm good with my scythe. You use the bow," Beatrice said. Beatrice walked over the scythe and picked it up. She got a feel for the weight before going to the controls, Katniss following behind her.
The two walked into the room. It was dark at first, but then an orange hologram appeared behind Katniss.
The two girls spun around, effectively 'killing' the holograms. Eventually, the girls ended up back to back. To observers, it seemed like they were doing a violent dance. As the last hologram ran at Beatrice, she fiercely sliced it with her scythe. The room went dark yet again before all the lights came on.
The only sound heard was Mags clapping. The two girls turned around to see everyone looking at them. Literally every single tribute. Johanna gave her a wink and Finnick smiled proudly.
Beatrice turned away from them awkwardly and towards Katniss. Beatrice held her hand up for a high five. "We make a good team, Kat."
"Yeah, we do," Katniss said quietly. The two left the room before venturing out to different people. Beatrice couldn't drop the smile on her face
