Um... WOW! i got so much good feedback on my last chapter and i honestly thought it was a really bad chapter because i wrote it half asleep on a plane. Oh well, i really appreciate your reviews, it pushes me to keep writing!

Anyway on with the chapter! ;)

Finally, were home. I step out of the train and breathe in the fresh air, smelling the sand and salt water. I smile, happy that everything in the capitol and in district 12 was now put behind me and i could go back to school and just be a normal ish teenager.

I smile at the thought and jump off the train platform practically skipping and jumping around like a 6 year old child on christmas morning. I feel myself being pulled by the waist and i crashed against a hard yet warm chest. I look up to see Finn with the same childish grin as me plastered on his face.

He kisses the top of my head, holding there for a few seconds "its good to be home" he mumbles into my hair and i smile even broader, nodding in agreement.

We walk with mine and Finns parents, plus a drunken Haymitch in tail. On the train ride home we briefly explained what had happened with my former best friends outside the school. We tried to avoid the part where Finn punched Dominic in the face and broke half of his limbs but unfortunately Haymitch weaseled it out of us. My parents and Annie disapproved of his actions but Haymitch and my Uncle Finnick just burst out laughing and praising Finn for sticking up for me and Uncle Finn kept going on about how he trained his boy so well with tears of laughter in his eyes. That only earned a hard glare from my Aunt Annie, i can tell Uncle Finn will be getting a lecture from her later.

My parents felt sorry for me about how my friends reacted and i could tell they felt bad about their actions when they were my age but i tried my best to reassure them i wasn't bothered. Which honestly now that i think about it, I'm not, because i don't need friends who are going to judge me and my family for things that are out of all our control.

We arrived back at the house after a 5 minute walk there and i immediately got comfortable on the couch with Finn snuggling close to me.

"You guys ready to go back to school tomorrow?" My mom asks as she enters the house with a suite case, my dad close on her tail with 2 more.

Finn and i immediately groan in unison. Tomorrow is either going to go really bad, like it did with my 'friends' or its going to go back to the way it was before. I am really hoping for the latter of the two.

I watch a short amount of TV, i skip through the channels and most of them have mine, or a member of my family's face on it. So in the end i end up turning it off and dropping the remote control on the coffee table with a little more force necessary.

We all sit around the dinner table eating Aunt Annie's fish dinner, which is absolutely delicious! Having light chatter about random pointless things that will be forgotten tomorrow. I think we were just all enjoying the feeling of being home and we were all too content to have heavy and serious conversations right now.

"You three excited to go back to school?" Dad asked lightly

I roll my eyes as river chirps up "Yeah! I didn't like the capitol very much, everyone looked and spoke funny! I want to go back to school and see my friends!" My little brother is adorable but if someone from the capitol caught him saying things like that my family head would be on the chopping block.

We all laugh at my brothers antics anyway. "What about you love birds?" My mom asks and i can see she is awful happy to say that, it makes me happy that my mom accepts my relationship with Finn.

"Honestly Aunt Kitty. I can't be assed" Finn says nonchalant and even though his language should be minded in front of River all the parents including Haymitch laugh out loud.

My mom cools off first and looks at finn sternly "Language young man" she protests but we can all see she is trying her best to keep her laughter down and her serious face on.

"What bout you princess?" Uncle Finn asks sipping his wine which he stole from haymitch's grand supply of fine alcohol.

I roll my eyes at the nickname "I just hope everything goes back to normal" i say in an even tone but the underlying nerves are still there and i'm sure everyone else can tell.

Uncle Finnick leans forward and plants a forceful and slightly sloppy kiss on my forehead "its all gonna be fine princess!" he reassures me and i try my best to give him a convinced smile, which i think i may have accomplished.

After dinner Finn gives me a light kiss goodnight and all the Odair's make their way back home. I head up to my room and get ready for bed moving all thought about tomorrow to the back of my mind, drifting off to sleep.

In the morning i am awoken by a blazing alarm notifying me that today i head back to school. Oh joy. I scowl at my alarm for a good 5 seconds before hitting the top of it with force, silencing it until tomorrow morning. I groggily trudge out of bed and slowly make my way to the bathroom.

I have a quick shower and wash my hair, i braid my hair to the side like i normally would, none of the capitol nonsense i have been wearing on my head recently. I apply a tiny amount of mascara and eyeliner then make my way to my large closet. Decisions. Decisions, Decisions. Eventually, after scurrying through my closet for a good 5 minuets, decide on a tiffany blue crop top with lace at the hem and a pair of black skinny jeans and converse. I shove on a chain necklace and a bracelet before grabbing my bag and making my way downstairs.

My parents greet me with a polite nod and kiss on the cheek shoving food of all sorts in front of my face. The nerves are getting to me now, what if everyone judges me like everyone back in 12 did? Then i slap myself mentally for that thought. These people knew about my parents and i before i did! It is pointless worrying over it. They have seen finns fake persona. surely they know that my tv personality is fake too. In the end i end up having 2 bites of toast before saying a quick goodbye and rushing to finns house. Uncle Finnick is driving us to school and my parents are taking River.

Finn kisses me passionately at the door and after a few minuets of heated kissing uncle finn cuts between us with his usual snarky comment "ok you two cut it out before we end up with a baby Willow or, even worse, Finn." With that comment i blush so much i can feel the redness spreading t the rest of my face and neck. Finn even has a light blush spreading across his cheeks but he chuckles it off as if it was nothing.

When we get into the car the awkward silence fills the air, you could cut the tension with a knife. Why oh why did Uncle Finn have to open his big mouth?!

Uncle Finnick breaks the silence once more. "Are you two having sex?" he looks at us through the rear view mirror waggling his eyebrows but it was clear in his eyes that he was genuinely curious.

I was gob smacked that my closest uncle just up and opens his big mouth and asks such a personal question, i feel myself blushing again.

I answer flustered "what? no! Finnick! thats just... NO!" Uncle finnick laughs and rolls his eyes but keeps his eyes on Finn and i in the rear view mirror.

"Well if you two do decide to-" Finn cuts of his dad abruptly

"DAD! honest to god! Stop it!" Finn rushed clearly annoyed at his dad "Its none of your business and before you give us 'the talk' we would have been safe anyway!" I feel like a tomato on fire right now. I keep my head down avoiding the prying eyes of Uncle Finn.

"ok! ok! Just making sure" he focuses back on the road and the rest of the drive to school is silent apart from the sound of the radio.

When we pull up to the school my nerves break in again as i get out of the car. Finn comes round and slings an arm over my shoulder for comfort. I take a deep breath and look at him.

I sigh and whisper "Let the games begin"

Reviews mean more chapters soon! xx
