When I wake up I feel the soft silk fabric shift underneath me. I yawn and start to sit up. I look around my room. The cream pink walls, the soft silk blue curtains. I look at the wall of books I have. All of the shelves are full of the books I've read. A maid peeks through the door and sees that I'm awake.

"Ah, Princess Katniss. Good morning," She says as she enters the room.

I smile and nod, "Good morning".

Once I hear the water running in the bathroom I get up and start walking towards the sound. I go inside as she exits. I undress and slide into the tub. I sit in the bath for a while and close my eyes. A half an hour later I climb out of the tub and wrap a towel around me. The maid has laid a soft orange dress on my bed with cream orange flats.

I dress quickly, and as soon as I finish I go downstairs to the dining room and sit in my place beside my mother and father. The silence is finally broken when my father speaks up.

"You know you will have to choose soon right Katniss?"

I know what he's talking about. He's saying that I'll have to choose my future husband soon. Peeta Mellark, Prince of the Southern Part of Panem or Gale Hawthorne Prince of the Western Part. Gale has been my best friend since we were little. I haven't really met Peeta, so I don't know what to expect from him.

I nod. "Yes father I know."

"You will have today to meet Peeta Mellark" He reminds me.

"Yes father, I remember."

Once I finish my breakfast the maids take me back to my room. One maid works on my nails as another works on my hair. Once finished, I am taken down to the carriage. Two white horses are strapped to the carriage and I quickly feed them sugar cubes. I climb inside and sit down on the plush interior. I look out the window the entire way to the Southern part of Panem. I see a huge mansion arriving in the distance. The draw bridge lowers and we ride inside. Once they stop I swiftly climb out of the carriage. I walk down the red carpet to the large oak doors.

The King, , opens the door and smiles once he sees me.

"Ah, you must be Princess Katniss."

I smile and nod my head.

"Peeta we have a visitor for you."

"Coming father!" I hear a voice yell.

I then see a boy with dirty blond hair come down. As he comes closer I see that he has blue eyes. He smiles once he sees me. His father waves us off and we walk towards the garden.

"So Princ-"

I cut him off, "Call me Katniss please"

"Alright, so Katniss. Why are you in the Southern Part of Panem?"

"Actually I came to see you"

I notice that he turn a shade of red as if he was embarrass by my comment "Oh really?"

I nod my head "Yes. I thought it was about time I met Prince Peeta Mellark"

He stays quiet for a while. Once we pass the rose bushes he picks a red and white rose. He hands both to me and I smile.

A few hours later we were walking on the beach. My flats were in my hand so the waves wouldn't ruin them. Just as sunset happened he spoke up again.

"So.. um.. Katniss... I was wondering"

I looked at him, "Yes Peeta?"

"Would you like to go... out... sometime? You don-"

I smile, "I would love to go out sometime"

We walk back to the castle and just as I was about to leave I stand up on my tippy toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for a wonderful day Peeta" I smile and wave to him once I got into the carriage.

I watch him lean against the door frame and watch the carriage take off. I spend the rest of the evening thinking about Peeta Mellark.
