Are the feelings real ?

During the whole hunger games Peeta and Katniss had been dragging out their love antic of being “star-crossed lovers” but as the novel comes to an end, I personally can’t tell if it’s still an antic or if there actually are feelings between them. I believe that throughout the games Peeta’s feelings, words and actions are all genuine towards Katniss. In a way Peeta is living his dream, being with Katniss all day and night except for the fact that they are both in a fight to the death. On the other hand during the games Katniss just played along with the whole antic to help her win the games. As their love story was very popular with the audience and even earned district 12 some wealthy sponsors. I believe Katniss had no real feelings for Peeta until she realized how much she needed him to survive the games. When the games are finally over I think this is when she really realized that she started to like him more than a friend and not only that but he provided a safe feeling with his presence. Although she is starting to fall for Peeta, she still is thinking about Gale. I believe that there was feelings between Katniss and Gale before the games started, although both of them didn’t want to admit it.

I wonder who Katniss will choose in the next book, Gale or Peeta ?
