" hey, I'm home!" I yelled as i entered the house. It smelled great. I went in the kitchen to see my mom stirring a pot of soup.
" hey, katniss." She said absently.
I put my school bag on the couch, and run into the room i share with my sister Prim. She is lying on the bed, reading an old book from my mom's library.
" how was school?" She asks.
" it was Okay, i guess" i answer. I was not. I open my drawer, getting the bag i had hidden from Prim.
" what's this?" My curious little sister asks. " nothing" i answer. She lets go, and i direct myself in the bathroom. I stare at my reflection in the coal dusty mirror.
I open the bag, taking the box out of it. I read the instructions carefully, then pee on the white stick. I put the cap back on, and i just have time to hide it in my pocket, when Prim enters the bathroom suddenly.
" dinner's ready." She says and she leaves. We sit down at the table the three of us eating in silence.
" so, katniss. When is peeta coming over for dinner?" My mom asks after a while.
I just shrug. I push my chair, and stand up. " well, I'm tired. goodnight." I kiss prim, and give my mom a hug.
Later that night, after prim snores lightly, I put on my boots, and get out by the small window in our room. I run all the way to the bakery. I hide from the peacekeepers, because the curfew is passed, and I could be arrested. I grab a small rock, and throw it on Peeta's window. I wait a few minutes, and nothing comes. It is true, Peeta is a heavy sleeper. I throw rock till he finally wakes up. He opens the window, and I climb on the tree before jumping easily in his room.
" Katniss, what are you doing here? What's wrong?" He says. I run into his arms, and start sobbing heavily.
" I'm so sorry." Is all I can manage to say. He doesn't ask more questions, he just holds me to his chest. He must be cold, because his window is still open, and he only sleeps in his boxers. He lies me down on his bed with him, and caresses my back. After few minutes, I get the stick out of my pocket, and hand it to him.
" what's this?" He asks.
" a pregnancy test." I start crying again.
" and what does it says?" He asks calmly.
" I haven't check yet. Too scared." I answer. He turns it around, and look at the symbols.
" what does it says?" I ask after a long minute of silence.
" we're having a baby." He whispers. He puts his strong arms around me, and I start sobbing uncontrollably again. " I'm so sorry" I whisper. " I ruined everything" I cry in his chest. " hey hey, hey, it's ok. It'll be ok."
My name is Katniss Everdeen. I'm 17. I'm pregnant. How the hell could this be ok?
