This chapter will be short. Other chapter will be longer because I just wanted to develop to story plot. Sorry!

PEETA POV

I picture the way that one lock of her beautiful braided brown falls in her eyes as she desperately tries to push it away. She's breathtaking. Katniss. My Katniss. My soulmate.

My fantasy gets cut short when my maths teacher Miss Trinket asks me a question which I don't quite catch because I was too busy fantasising that the famous Katniss Everdeen would be mine one day. Stupid brain! But it's sixth period what do you expect?

"Mr Mellark. I will repeat myself once, and once only. What is a pythagoras pyramid?" She asks in her high pitch Capitol accent.

It's times like these when I wish that I was actually listening to her class rather then fantasising about things that will obviously never happen. So I decide to remain silent.

"Mr Mellark. Would you ever so kindly enlighten the class about what you actually did learn from this class?" She asks. I know better than to tell her I learned nothing and get sent to Mr Snow, the snakelike principle whom coughs blood.

I put on my most convincing devastated face. By now she is hovering over my desk. "My cat died last night from cancer." I whisper barely audible, so that only she can hear me.

Miss Trinket is madly obsessed with cats and when she hears this she makes this choking sound from the back of her throat. She even gets a little teary when I add "We only had her for six months."

"Excuse me for one moment" She half choke half sobs to the class. As soon as she leaves the classroom, Finnick (the only person that knows everything there is to know about me. Including me mentally dating Katniss Everdeen.) leans closer to tell me something.

"Meet me at the ice cream parlour after school." In response I give him a puzzled look but nod anyway.

...

I arrive at the ice cream parlour about 10 minutes after school let out. I spy Finnick at a table in the far corner with a girl that is wearing a massive sombrero type black hat, which suggests she is hiding from someone.

I walk over feeling more puzzled than ever right now and sit in one of the two empty chairs. "Hey Peetie Pies!" Finnick says sweetly. He seems to have grown attached to that nickname, which he started calling me after finding out I work at my parents bakery.

"Hi Fish boy!" I shoot back in an overly enthusiastic tone.

"Okay i'll cut to the chase. You're probably wondering who this lovely lady is" Ho motions to the girl, and she removes her hat.

My jaw drops as I realise who this person is. Annie Cresta.

I do a double take just to make sure that it's her.

I feel my face go hot as I realise that I must've been staring at her for at least 5 minutes. I look away in embarrassment.

Luckily for me though, Finnie decides to lighte the mood by changing the subject.

''Okay, so I was walking down the street last week and saw this wonderful lady here being chased down the street by some weirdo asking if she was single and ready to mingle. I mean seriously, the guy was probably doing meth! Anyway. Poor Annie was wearing heels so she couldn't exactly run away.''

Before he can say anything else I interupt his awfully long detailed speech. ''Wait! You mean to tell me that this happened last week and you didn't tell me!''

''Well if you let me finish you'll find out why I didn't tell you Peetie.'' Finn says in an awfully annoying baby voice. ''As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. Annie couldn't run. So I, being the most awesome person ever with perfect timing, saw this creep harassing her. Anyway, I ended up punching the guy in the face and I threw Annie over my shoulder and ran all the way over to this ice cream place. When we got here I, being the gentleman I am, bought Annie and myself some ice cream and we sat down and had a chat.''

''So you mean to tell me that not only did you save Annie Cresta from some creep. But you also carried her all the way here AND bought her ice cream! I finally conclude that you no longer need a wingman anymore.'' I announce.

''Puh-lease! As if I ever needed a wingman in the first place.'' He brushes me off.

When I turn to Annie I see her watching the whole conversation with amusement in her eyes.

''I...'' I'm cut off by the sound of the bell signalling that someone has entered the store sounding.

A girl wearing a big black floppy hat and sunglasses, like Annie, with a brown braid slung over her shoulder enters.

Katniss Everdeen.
