Katniss P.O.V
Its finally autumn as I see Peeta across the street and join him in our walk to school. Breathing in the fresh air, I let out a gentle sigh as he lifts his arm to encircle my shoulders, giving me a tight squeeze before letting go. Before any of us brake the silence, my phone buzzes in my pocket. I take it out only to see that Gale has texted me 11 times in the past 5 minutes. Gale and I had been dating for a few months, but I had decided to brake it when I caught him making out with Glimmer in the school parking lot. He had texted me nonstop for several weeks now. Peeta had been comforting me through most of it.
"Who was it?" he asks.
"Hmmm?"
"Your phone. Who texted you?"
"uh..." I had to think of something fast. Knowing Peeta, if he had known it was that good-for-nothing-Gale, he would have pounded him into dirt the moment he saw him. "It was Madge."
"Mmmm Hmmm..." Crap he's on to me! Change the topic, change the topic!
"So what did you get on your biology test?"
"Its funny you ask that," What does he mean? I mean we just had the test-"we were supposed to take it today." he continues.
Oh shit.
"Oh, I... uh. Well... ummm..." after seeing my reaction, he laughs. I was never good with words but Peeta never failed to make an idiot like me feel better. We laugh it off as we walk the rest of the way to school. It doesn't last long though, because he too gets a text.
"Who's that?" I say, mimicking his expression from before. He laughs then finally answers my question, his face now serious.
"It was Delly..." he says slowly. His ex. She too was texting him constantly. We don't usually talk about her, and we like to keep it like that. After a while, we arrive at school and shortly after we pass the gate, Peeta is ambushed by a pile of leaves. Finnick.
"Hey bro, Katniss!"
"Dude, you have to stop doing that." Peeta chuckles as he shakes leaves out of his hair. I laugh when he finds the occasional twig. Then Johanna pops up from behind us and comes to join us as well.
"Yeah, I agree with blondy," she starts,"leaves are so old Fin, you outta step up your game!"
"That's not what I meant" We laugh as we go to class together and Madge and Annie join us as well. Fortunately, we're all in the same homeroom. We all take our seats as Effie, our homeroom teacher, begins to lecture one of the other students about manners after loudly burping in class. After a few minutes, I receive another text, this time from Finnick.
Finnick: Sup Kat! partA ma Howse 2nite! B ther at 8
Katniss: K. Bringing Peet with meh.
Finnick: Of corse, CUGs 2nite =)
Before I had a chance to text back, the bell had rung and students were already filing out of the classroom. I caught up to Peeta and the others as we head off for lunch. After grabbing a sandwich, apple, chocolate milk and pudding from the lunch lady, I took my seat among our usual table. Soon after, Annie and Finnick joined Peeta and I, already sitting at our usual spot.
"So from what I gather, you guys are official now, right?" Peeta asks.
"Yep, this wonderful little lady is all mine." Finnick replied, nuzzling Annie's cheek as she returns it with a kiss on his cheek. "I'm surprised you and Kat aren't dating yet." Before any of us could attempt to testify against the idea, Madge arrives with Johanna in tow, who quickly starts a conversation. I'll have to thank them later. An hour later, Finnick, Annie and Johanna go off to Math while Peeta and I head off to Art. After a bit of convincing, Peeta finally got me to take art as my filler course. Most of my creations end up in the garbage but Peeta however, is great at it and seems to love it a lot so I hold my own.
Our art teachers Mr. Cinna and Ms. Portia begin to talk to the class about an upcoming assignment involving drawing as my mind starts to wonder off. I think about 'The Annual Amateur Archer's Athletics Assembly' this Saturday. Suddenly, my phone gently buzzed in my pocket, and I grab it before the teacher could hear it.
Peeta: Partners?
Katniss: Always ;)
Peeta: So we meet after school?
Katniss: Can't, Fin's party remember?
Peeta: K, so next week? :)
Katniss: sure ^^
Peeta P.O.V
I put my phone back into my pocket and continue writing down notes for the project. Me and Katniss have always been partners ever since fourth grade. No matter what, we'd always be together for projects. We just generally work best together. The bell rings and I grab my things and head off to biology, Katniss to the right of me. After walking with her to biology class we sat down as Mr. Snow began passing out papers. When I flipped over the page, I could see 40 questions all about cellular respiration. Great, I thought to myself, I won't have Kat to help me now.
I start on the easy questions, skipping a few of them that seem to boggle my head. As soon as I was done the easy parts, I immediately went to the harder ones. Great, but the time I'm done, Katniss would have to wheel me out of here on a wheel chair. I found myself finishing it faster and soon enough I handed the test just before the bell rang.
I meet Katniss in the hallway and listen to her talk about the Archer's Assembly she's been waiting for all year. She says she's finally old enough to enter this year.
"I can't wait, I've been training all year and its finally here! I want you to come, too...Will you?" She mutters the last two sentences and I can just barely make it out.
"Of course," I say as I capture her in my arms, "you know I'd always be there for you." I feel her smile against my chest before pulling away to greet some of the other students who entered the competion as well. After a few minutes, she follows me to my car and drive off to my house first.
Katniss P.O.V
As I wait downstairs at Peeta's house, his dad greets me as he walks in.
"Hi katniss, its been a while! How are you?" he says in his usual warm tone.
"I'm doing good Mr. Mellark. You?"
"I'm fine." he smiles and continues to the kitchen where I take this as my cue to help. I had just finished stocking up the groceries when Peeta's mom comes into the kitchen, face to face with me.
"Well at least the seem brat has some use... even if it isn't that useful." She spits at me. Holding back my temper, I politely excuse my self and march up to Peeta's room.
Oooooo! cliffhanger! Please review if its good or bad!
