She doesn't always go to the citizen improvement activities. It isn't necessarily a lack of interest as so much an overall desire not to participate. Tonight is different though. There's too much on her mind and she wants a distraction. There had been the strange dreams that might actually have been someone else's memories. And then there had been the kiss Derek had given her before leaving, acting as if it were the most natural thing in the world. There's too much on her mind and all she wants is a distraction.

(Besides, if the Hunger Games are any reminder, a first aid class could be useful.)

What she doesn't expect is encountering Derek there. It makes it difficult to focus on Clint's lessons and she hates herself a little bit for that. But he had kissed her like Peeta would do when they had been pretending to be in a relationship, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Only thing is, Derek wasn't pretending. He wasn't trying to calm her down. He had just kissed her like this thing between them might actually be real.

Despite herself, she steals glances at him a number of times during the activity. She should talk to him, shouldn't she? It's the adult thing. Better than ignoring. Katniss tells herself that again and again until she finds herself approaching him at the end of citizen improvement. She smiles briefly as she greets him, "Hi."
