Chapter 14
Simon was built like a tank, and no matter how hard Katniss tried to shake him off, it was like trying to move a
mountain.
"Simon, what the hell are you doing? Let go of me!" Katniss's voice was all fire and steel.
Simon's eyes flashed with disdain as he snapped, "Katniss! You'd rather give the speech slot to srando than
to Clara? That's cold, even for you!" Katniss rolled her eyes, "I earned that slot fair and square. If Clara wants to
speak, she should earn it herself."
Simon stomped his foot like a toddler, yelling, "You're asking for it!"
Katniss and Simon were twins, practically mirror images, but their relationship was a dumpster fire.
Everyone knew Simon couldn't stand Katniss. Every the saw her, he made it his mission to stir up trouble
and embarrass her.
Katniss shot Simon a look of pure contempt, "Simon, are you seriously standing up for Clara?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSimon puffed out his chest, eyes blazing, "Damn right | am! You disgrace, how dare you even show your face
here!"
Katniss snorted, "Standing up for Clara? How noble of you, but you're seriously lacking in the skills department."
The cafeteria crowd started to gather, the air thick with tension.
Out of nowhere, Clara walked over with two plates of food. She handed one to Simon, saying, "Simon, chill out. |
got you a fresh plate." Simon glared at Katniss, his voice dripping with disgust. "Katniss, you actually think Clara
can calmdown? That's a joke." Katniss was floored by his twisted logic. "Are you nuts? You should definitely
get your brain checked!"
Simon took the food, his eyes softening as he looked at Clara, "Thanks, Clara."
Clara, all innocent, said, "Simon, Katniss is actually working really hard."
Simon sneered, "Hard work? She just takes other people's stuff and calls it her own. And she has the nerve to
talk about hard work!" Juniper had enough. She slammed her utensils on the table, ready to tear into Simon, but
Katniss held her back.
When it cto the Manners family, Katniss preferred to handle things herself to avoid unnecessary .
Even though the Davis family had money and wasn't scared of the Manners' crap, they still found it annoying.
Katniss didn't want Juniper getting dragged into her mess with the Manners.
Katniss shot Juniper a look that said, "Let's bounce."
Juniper picked up on it right away and followed Katniss. They walked out with purpose, heading straight for the
exit.
"Why'd we leave? | wanted to give him a piece of my mind," Juniper asked, a bit miffed.
Katniss gritted her teeth, after a moment, she said, "Seeing that jerk makeswanna puke. | can't stand the
sight of him."
Juniper thought about the Manners family and felt a wave of nausea herself. She grumbled as they walked,
"Katniss, are you really twins with Simon? How can he be so obsessed with Clara? He's totally blind." Katniss
found a new spot, ordered two meals, handed one to Juniper, and mumbled, "This chicken leg is pretty good.
Give it a try."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJuniper watched Katniss chow down but had no appetite herself. She wondered if Katniss was so pissed she was
taking it out on the chicken leg like it was a Manners.
Juniper pushed her meal over to Katniss. "You can have mine too."
Katniss looked up and flashed a sweet smile.
After they finished eating and said their goodbyes, Katniss decided it was tto find a part-tjob.
