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 ! Katnisss voice was all fire and steel .
Simons eyes flashed with disdain as he snapped , Katniss ! Youd rather give the speech slot to some rando than to Clara ? Thats 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 , Youre asking for it ! Katniss and Simon were twins , practically mirror images , but their relationship was a dumpster fire .
Everyone knew Simon couldnt stand Katniss .
Every time he 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 ? Simon puffed out his chest , eyes blazing , Damn right I am ! You disgrace , how dare you even show your face here ! Katniss snorted , Standing up for Clara ? How noble of you , but youre 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 .
I got you a fresh plate .
* Simon glared at Katniss , his voice dripping with disgust .
Katniss , you actually think Clara can calm me down ? Thats 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 peoples 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 came to the Manners family , Katniss preferred to handle things herself to avoid unnecessary drama .
Even though the Davis family had money and wasnt scared of the Manners crap , they still found it annoying .
Katniss didnt want Juniper getting dragged into her mess with the Manners .
Katniss shot Juniper a look that said , Lets bounce .
Juniper picked up on it right away and followed Katniss .
They walked out with purpose , heading straight for the exit .
Whyd we leave ? I 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 makes me wanna puke .
I cant 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 ? Hes 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 .
Juniper 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 time to find a part time job .
