SUMMARY: Modern Day AU. Peetniss. Katniss needs a night out after a break up with her ex-boyfriend, Gale. Peeta and Katniss have been best friends since they were 5yrs old, and (of course) Peeta's been in love with her since. After Katniss agrees to go to a club in attempt to get another boyfriend, Peeta is determined that guy has to be him even if Katniss doesn't know it. So Peeta pretends to be another guy to charm Katniss.

Rated T cause of cuss words and some sexual references. If any of the sexual references makes anyone uncomfortable, I'll change the rating to M but there won't be any lemons or anything like that unless requested (in which the rating will definitely be changed to M).

CHAPTER 1: THE PLANNER

Katniss POV:

There he was. Dressed up as handsome as ever in a tight black t-shirt that showed off his muscles perfectly and jeans (which couldn't hide his boner even if they tried) was my boyfriend Gale. Sitting on the bar stool with a drink in his hand and his other hand wrapped around a girl who was seated on his lap. Of course, that girl wasn't me. Her figure was too amazing and her long, wavy blond hair flowed perfectly down her back. Her face was much more attractive than mine and it still looked pretty good (I had to admit) when Gale pressed his lips against her's.

"You lying, cheating asshole!" I screamed, storming up to him and wipping my hand across his face. The girl on his lap shrieked while Gale tried to shake the shock off his face.

Gale's eyes locked on me and his face softened. "Katniss...I didn't think you would...Katniss, I'm sorry...Katniss, wait!"

It was too late. I ran out of that club with tears running down my face and a million thoughts racing through my head. And I had made my final conclusion: Gale Hawthrone, i'm done with you and your sorry ass.

All that happened a month ago and i'm still moping around. I hate to admit it, but I had actually loved Gale. I never thought he would cheat, not just on me, but with that chick too who broke up with him the next day after she sobered up. The one with the blond hair. Infact, she and I have already gotten around to getting to know eachother. Her name's Madge Undersee, her dad's into politics, she has money and apparently she and Gale had been going out for 4 months while Gale and I dated for a year. A pretty good year too. Now Madge has got herself another boyfriend while i'm still thinking about Gale.

HOW COULD HE? I screamed inside my head. I had already cried out all the tears in me 3 weeks ago. So here I am, just sitting on the couch watching daytime television with a bottle of Orange Crush and Lay's ketchup and barbeque chips in a big plastic bowl.

I felt something heavy drop onto the seat next to me on the couch. Johanna, one of my roomates.

"Whats up, Kat?" she asked, grabbing a handful of chips and stuffing it into her mouth. "Still moping around about Mister Cheater?"

I gave Johanna my best death glare in which she replied with a huge and wide smile.

"I'll that as a yes. That's why, as your most thoughtful friend, I feel the need to help you out of your slump. That's why you're coming with me, Delly, Madge and Annie for a girl's night out! We're gonna go to The Hob, the club down the block, and pick yourself another boyfriend!" Johanna exclaimed.

I toke a sip from my soda and stared at the TV screen. "Jo, I'm not going to hook up with some random stranger at some club."

"Well, after you get his number and bring him over to our apartment for...well, y'know...he won't be a stranger anymore." Johanna said, with a wink. "You would've gotten to know him pretty well by then!"

I grabbed one of the couch pillows and threw it at Johanna. "Johanna, no. I'm not ready for another boyfriend. I still keep thinking about...Gale..."

"Yeah, well after you meet another dreamy guy at The Hob, you won't have to. You'll completely forget about that two-timing jerk!" Johanna explained. "And you need to get out! This month you've only been going to work, college, and then home. It's summer vacation, we've got a 3-month break from college, and you can't just stay cooped up inside all day!"

"Johanna, no. I-"

That's when the door opened to show Finnick and Peeta standing in the hallway.

"Never heard of knocking?" I asked them.

Finnick confidently strolled into the room with a big smile. "Nope. Now, where's Annie?"

"Work. She'll be back in an hour." Johanna replied.

Finnick pouted and fell down onto one of the lazy boy recliners. "Guess i'm stuck with you guys then."

"Well, good. Because I need both of you to convince Katniss to stop being so stubborn!" Johanna cried.

"Katniss? Stubborn? Never heard of it." Peeta said, beeming at me and taking the seat next to me.

"Yeah well, she's still thinking about Gale even after Gale's other girlfriend has already moved on with another hottie!" Johanna exclaimed.

"It's only been a month, Johanna." Peeta said. "It takes time to move on."

Johanna pointed her finger accusingly at Peeta. "How can you, as Katniss's best friend, stand to see her sitting around all day with a broken heart?"

"Maybe...m-maybe she just needs time to find the r-right guy still." Peeta stammered.

Johanna scoffed. "She thought Gale was the right guy and look at what happened. No, I know my roomate and she needs to move on. She needs someone else to take Gale off her mind because I don't think this is healthy anymore!"

"You guys do know I'm right here." I said.

"Me too!" Finnick called, though his attention was on the TV.

Peeta pursed his lips, ignoring both Finnick and me. "Johanna, you should still listen to Katniss's opinion. Give her another month to get over Gale. Take her to an amusement park or get ice cream! Why does she need another boyfriend so soon? And especially a random one at some club?"

"I think Katniss would be much happier at an amusement park or at an ice cream parlor if she had a boyfriend to go with." Johanna said in a sing songy voice.

Before Peeta could start to protest again, I intrupted him.

"If I agree to go, will you guys stop fighting?" I asked them.

"Yes!" Johanna cried, jumping out of her seat and doing a little victory dance.

Peeta looked at me in the eye. For a moment I was lost in his eyes, which were a mesmerizing blue. "Katniss, are you sure? I mean I don't want you to find another person whose just going to hurt you again."

"But what if she finds the love of her life?" Johanna exclaimed, butting in between me and Peeta. "See, you never know if you never try."

Peeta ignored Johanna. "Katniss, I'm just looking out for you. I couldn't stand it if you got hurt like that again. You were crying and crying and...and..."

Peeta seemed a lost for words. I sighed. "Look Peeta. I know that we're best friends and best friends look out for eachother and protect eachother, but I think I do need a night out. Maybe I do need to move on."

"Great! Now we need to get you a new dress, new shoes, and we need to do your hair and makeup!" Johanna said.

Peeta looked down and got up from his seat. "I-I have to go."

"Peeta, wait-!" I called, but Peeta was already walking out the door and I was still staring out the door after he left.

"I'll go get him." Finnick said, stretching and getting out of the lazy boy making the recliner creak. Then Finnick turned to me with what I think is supposed to be a seductive smile. "Now don't have too much fun, Katniss. Remember, you're still a newbie at partying."

"Yeah, thanks Finnick." I muttered. Finnick gave me one last wink before walking out the door, following Peeta.

"Great. Now i've pissed Peeta off." I sighed.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine! Now you need to take a shower and then, we need to go shopping!" Johanna exclaimed.

I sure hope Johanna was right.

Done chapter 1! WOOT! This chapter was probably pretty boring but I just did word vomit. Don't worry, the story'll get going next chapter which will be posted soon (in 2-3 days at least).
