After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 31

As a doc, keeping patient info on the down-low is a must. Aurora always said it's part of the gig. Katniss had made up her mind to be a legit doctor this time around, not just using her skills for Nathan. So, she was doing this to keep her patient safe.

Anna was eavesdropping at the door but didn't catch any studying vibes. She wasn't sure if Katniss had hit the books.

Seeing the stuff in the kitchen, Anna started organizing with a big grin.

Katniss knew Anna always looked down on her, but Wesley and Daphne were still cool with her. Since her place wasn't ready yet, she had to crash at Wesley's for now, trying not to stir up any drama with Anna.

As long as Anna didn't start anything, Katniss could chill.

The next morning, with no classes, she hit up the supermarket, grabbing a bass to make some soup.

When she got home and opened the jars of ingredients, she paused for a sec, wondering if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like there were fewer ingredients than yesterday.

She didn't think much of it until she noticed other ingredient boxes were also missing some stuff.

Katniss frowned. She was the only one home; everyone else was out. She decided to let it slide for now.
