The Girl on Fire has a New Desire

by El Mustachio Grande

I am Peeta Mellark, trying to win Katniss Everdeen's heart, as well as save her from the all horrible, contagious, sickening disease by the name of... One Direction Infection. Can I do it? Take a look and find out! This is my friend's story, not mine. She let me put it on my account since she doesn't have one. Some of her stories will be on my account. Thank her! Rated T.

THE GIRL ON FIRE HAS A NEW DESIRE

"Katniss. Katniss! KATNISS!" I yell to get her attention. "What?" She asked clearly annoyed, not looking at me though caressing a carrot instead. "You need to get over One Direction. This isn't healthy, sweetie," I say softly. She looked at me menacingly. "You're just jealous because I kiss Harry Styles' poster more than I kiss you," Katniss snapped back. "What? No! I am not jealous. I just don't want you to end up like some crazy person who has no social life-" "She already doesn't," says Gale who was walking in the hall passing by the One Direction- poster streamed room, reading a magazine, though stopping to glare at me. I watched him as he left. "Look, Katniss-" I say pointedly so Gale could hear me in the room beside Katniss'. "- I care about you, and when you care about someone, you bring them to reality. Reality is not kissing a Larry Niles picture 24/7. I'm not saying that it's never going to happen because it can, but for now, that's not reality. Reality is here with me, Katniss. I love you and considering that Larry doesn't even know you exist, he doesn't." Wow. I didn't know I had that in me when I said it. I didn't know what to expect when I came home to our house because she's always having mood swings. I didn't expect to see her dancing to 1D in her underwear and screaming, 'Kiss me, 1D!' after watching the Kiss You video (which by the way has them with no shirts on), for the first time, either. "Okay. Two things. One, his name is Harry Styles. And two, there's nothing wrong with dreaming." "Yah, well, what about dreaming and actually having a life with me?" I can't take it anymore. I have to set her mind on us, and this was the time to do it before it becomes too late. I'm just going to say it and blurt it out. "Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me? I'll never let anything happen to you. I'll treat you like a queen." I get on one knee, pull out a ring, and look deeply into her eyes. She speaks. "Will you start loving One Direction?" I sigh. Is this all she thinks about? "No." I figured that if I am honest with her, she'll say yes. But that's the problem, I 'figured'. "Then my answer is no. Now get out," she yelled. The next moment, I realize I'm staring at the door, because I got kicked out. I think that I hear Gale laugh and say something like a 'yes!' but, I'm not sure. Good news is that the ring supposed to go to her if we got married, is a $20,000 custom One Direction ring and there's a pawn shop 'round the block. Vegas!
