"Holy shit! You mean to tell me that you lost your v-card before I did!" Johanna exclaims, plopping herself into Katniss' desk chair
"Yes and keep your voice down! My dad is down the hall" Katniss hisses
"Katniss, you achieved what us hormonal sixteen-year-old girls could only dream about. Losing our v-card to not a boy, a man. A college man" Johanna grins, Katniss rolls her eyes at her
"He's not a trophy, Jo. I'm not Glimmer, I don't want the entire school to know that I'm no longer a virgin" Katniss scowls
"Man... Marvel Zeffermen stands no chance now. Once you have a feast of college dick... high school dick is just a raisin. Not even the good kind" Johanna says
"That's gross, Jo. I don't even like him back anyways. I never liked him. He's not my type" Katniss replies
"Oh I know your type is tall, blonde, blue eyed, college man with a huge cock. Which is why I'm gonna hook up with Marvel" Johanna asks
"Johanna! That's enough about Peeta in that way. Maybe you can get Marvel to stop bugging me" Katniss grumbles, Marvel Zeffermen is part of the annoying group at school, although Johanna sees him as more hot than annoying.
It's getting towards the end of summer, so far she's spent it hanging out with her friends and family, also... a lot of sex with Peeta. He will sneak in when her dad and Prim are asleep to have sex, she'd send him needy texts that made him rush over in a hurry which is why Katniss anxiously goes over her decision.
She knows Peeta will be mad at her for making this decision but... she knows it's the right decision. She plays with the end of her braid nervously as she sits on the wooden bench, awaiting for him to arrive.
When he does, he kisses her cheek which makes it harder for Katniss to push herself through this. She takes his hand then kisses it, she lets out a sigh.
"Summer is nearly over. It's been the best summer of my life... it's just... we can't go on, Peeta" Katniss finally says, it breaks her heart to see his face fall
"Wait. What?" He replies
"You're starting up college again next week and I'm only starting my Junior year next week. We can't work, Peeta. You must see that" he stands abruptly
"Did anything I say to you matter? I've never loved someone the way I love you. I've never given someone my heart like I had with you. Here I thought that finally I have a beautiful girl who returns my feelings. I don't want to let you go, Katniss, but if this is what you want then alright then" his lips are formed in a straight line
"You... love me?" She asks
"Since I first laid eyes on you. I thought you felt the same but... I guess not" he frowns, she stands too and grabs his hand
"I do feel the same. It's just... you've still got two years left of college and I've still got five years of schooling ahead of me. This'll never work. Just... try to move on... for me" Katniss frowns, Peeta sighs
"I only want you happy, Katniss. I don't like that this is what it takes. I hope you know that I can never find another woman like you... I wish you the best for the future, you deserve it" he tells her, he kisses her forehead and walks away, Katniss almost calls out for him, he looks over his shoulder and gives her a sad smile before continuing to walk to his car.
Five Years Later- Katniss-21, Peeta- 24
"Come on Katniss. You spent your entire college life studying and not hooking up with the insanely hot dudes. Just, join us at the club. You won't regret it. Plus graduation is next week, think of it as rewarding yourself" Johanna says, Katniss scowls at her
