Summary
Modern College AU. Everlark.
A meet-cute between Katniss and a sweet RA spark a new relationship. As they grow closer and develop feelings, Katniss has to choose whether or not to trust Peeta in spite of her past trauma.
***
I’ve never had the time for romance. But I can’t deny that it hurt when dad left us. As I had to step up as the head of the house, I never had the luxury of worrying about my trauma and the opportunity to heal. But college has given me the time, the space, the resources. And I’ve realized I hate my dad. I’ve also realized, after getting asked out after one class last spring and feeling some warmth right in the pit of my tummy, that I don’t completely hate it when guys look at me. When guys are attracted to me.
It's nice to feel wanted.
Now, looking in the mirror, even I could admit it: I was attractive. I wasn’t pretty. I definitely wasn't beautiful. But like my roommates said, I was hot. And I wanted to hear it from other people.
