Katniss's Relationships with Men

Fangirls, I know that when you read books and you see how Katniss has a really cute relationship with Peeta or Gale or whoever she decides she's with at the time and you're like "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII want that to happen to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Well fangirls, I have some pretty interesting news for you. Katniss's relationships with men are not that different from yours. Don't believe me? I promise you, it's true. (Spoilers for the Hunger Games Trilogy.)
Well, my sister told me about this one. When Katniss is trying to be in love with Peeta in the Games or any other time, who does she think of nonstop? Gale. And when she kisses Gale or is being in love with him she can start to feel a little guilty about Peeta. Does that ever happen to you? You have a thing for two guys and they both have a thing for you so when you're with one for some reason you can only think about the other? And you guys are probably thinking "I'M A FANGIRL THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO US." Well, don't worry. It's never happened to me either. It was just an example. But this one we can probably all relate to.
So when Peeta's in love with Katniss, Katniss just prefers to stay away from the whole thing. She doesn't want to think about it. She doesn't want to feel guilty that Peeta loves her and she doesn't love him. But when Peeta gets hijacked, he hates her. A lot. And Katniss realizes that now he can see all the bad things about her. And she hates that about him. It makes her really mad. But when Peeta is still trying to calm himself down and learn the truth about himself, and he still can't love Katniss 'cause it's really hard for him, Katniss really wants him even if she doesn't know it or can't admit it to herself some of the time. But come on. This one has to make sense to you. Doesn't it seem when you like someone they don't care about you, and then the absolute last person you would want to like you does? You can't tell me this hasn't happened. Think about it. It has, fangirls. Don't deny it. You know it's true.
