Okay, so I took the story teenage dream from . .love, so yeah. But, she wrote this chapter!

~Kendal :)

It was the first day of school of my sophomore year. I walked into my homeroom and saw one of my closest friends, Katniss Everdeen at her desk on her phone. God only knows what she does on that thing. I go up to her and scare her because she is so distracted. She playfully punches me on the shoulder. I told her to take it easy it was just me. She only laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Hey Katniss so you want to go to our favorite place?" Holly's 24/7 diner always has delicious food and never lets me down, after school.

"Yeah sure."

In between periods I ask all of our friends, Annie, Finick, Marissa, Marvel, Peeta and Clove if they want to come with us. They say yes. The day goes by fast. I wasn't even paying attention to half of my classes because Katniss Everdeen was on my mind.

Oh God, how I love her so much. I wish she would just feel the same way about me. I see Katniss before my last period of the day at her locker. I slowly sneak up on her and hug her waist. She was startled at first, but quickly adapted to it, knowing it was only me and not a creep.

"I cant wait for after school."

I smile at her and say "Me too".

Then I leave for the last period of the day. It was a free period because I had Mr. Sandoval. The most laid back teacher there is throughout the whole high school. He teaches trigonometry. He said that he wants to take it easy this week, since it was out first week with him.

I sit back and text Katniss if she wants to ride with me to the diner. She replied back with a yes. My heart skipped a little bit when she replied because I honestly thought she would say no. I sit there at my desk, waiting for the time to hurry and pass by. I think back to when my and Katniss first became friends.

We were 5 years old playing outside. We were neighbors and I remember she had a small bow, but with no arrows. I asked her why she didn't have any arrows, she said "My daddy's making me more. I shot mine all into a tree when I was trying to get a bird. (of course she wasn't as good as she is today with bow and arrows)" At that moment I knew we were going to be best friends for a long time. We visited each other and played together almost every day.

I get startled by the bell. The day was finally over. I text Katniss to meet me over by the east wing. She replies with "Okay I am almost there." I quickly get into my car and try to make it look presentable. She got there faster than I had thought she would. I start the car and ask her how her day was.

"It was okay," she got a lot of boring classes. A lot with Glimmer. The girl that most of Capital High hates. She was my friend from pre-school all the way up to 8th grade. Then she started acting like a slut. Started getting with all the boys, at such a young age, and started to be mean to Katniss. That was a big problem for me. She knew I liked Katniss since 4th grade. Yet she still acted like a bitch. She still bullied her, and she knew it was wrong, but tried to act all sweet to me. One day she had told everyone that Katniss was a slut that she got with the English teacher. That is when I told her we can't be friends any more. She looked hurt and I felt bad, but Katniss came first. I couldn't let Glimmer hurt her.

"How many classes do you have with her?"

"Too many to count."

"Seriously," because I wanted to know how bad it was.

"5."

"Oh. I'm sorry. Do you have to sit next to her in any subjects?"

"No. Thank the Lord. She sits up in front and I sit in the back," she said.

"Well thats good."

I went to change the radio station and then put my arm on the arm rest, which her arm was already there. And then my hand touched her hand. I noticed it immediately, but didn't move away. After about 15 seconds she moved her hand. I don't remember if I had blushed or not, I tried really hard not to. I looked at her when she pulled her hand away and she was smiling.

We got to Holly's diner pretty fast, since I know a short cut. We got the both that we always get when were with our friends. The one at the left side of the diner, that is by the window has our names carved into the table.

The others finally showed up and then we all ordered some type of milkshake. We all talked about how it sucks that we don't have at least one class together. Then it got silent. Then Clove brought up about how her parents are going to district 11 to get some fresh food.

"Soooo you guys want to spend the night? Huhhh? It'll be fun!"

Katniss looked at me and asked me if I was going. "Yeah, it sounds fun. I'll go Clove. Just give me a time."

"Okay so 5:00."

"I'm in," Katniss said.

Then Marisa said "I don't know… I don't want to get in trouble."

"We're not going to get in trouble, babe," said Marvel.

"How do you know that?"

"Because I have faith in it, just like how I have faith that you are going."

"Fine" she said back to him.

Clove just looked at Annie and Finick to get there answers. They were too busy making out to know what we were talking about. Then Peeta got up and separated them and yelled at them for making out.

"Can you guys pay attention for one minute?"

Clove then explained to them what was happening. They said yes. No surprise, they're probably going to make out the whole entire time.

Peeta kissed Clove on the cheek and said "Of course I'm going babe."

Oh, how I only wished I was Katniss' boyfriend so I could do that to her. We were the only one in the group who were single. It was perfect. We should be dating. But we're not, and I need to change that as fast as I can.

Friday came at last. After school I went up to Katniss and asked her if she wanted to come over before we go to Clove's house. She smiled and said of course.

When I got home I sat down on my bed and I just thought about Katniss. I wonder if she likes me. If she has ever liked me. If she gets that feeling in her stomach like I do when I see her.

My mom walked in and asked me why I was just sitting in my room with the lights off. I just made something up about how I know this school year is going to be a good year. She smiled and asked " What do you want for dinner?"

"Anything sounds good right now."

"Okay how About Ronnie's Pizza? You know you can't deny it..."

"Haha, okay sounds good."

I told her, "Hey mom?"

"Yeah sweetie?"

"Can we have Katniss over for dinner?"

"Of course honey. Just tell her to be here around 5."

"Okay. Thanks mom," I told her.

I love her. My mom is seriously the best mom out there. I texted Katniss if she wanted to come over. She replied back within 40 seconds with a yes. We never moved houses and neither did they, so we are still neighbors.

At 5:15 she came over. Katniss, my mom and I all sat in the living room and watched T.V. My mom and Katniss talked about school. Then they started Talking about homecoming. This is when I thought they were going too far, but I let them continue because I wanted to hear what Katniss had to say about it.

Sadly they only talked about dresses and girly stuff. When we were done eating I took their plates and put them in the dishwasher.

"Do you want to go to my room?"

"Sure."

We both sat down on my bed. She scooted up to my headboard and so did I. It got silent and we both went on our phones.

"Do you want to go to Roger's liquor store down the block?"

"Sure."

We got there and I went straight to the drinks in the back. It was a small liquor store, but it was my favorite because the manager knew me and I got stuff for free sometimes.

"What do you want Katniss?" She got some Doughnuts and a Monster.

I got a Pepsi and Skittles. We headed back to my house and we were goofing off, like always.

"Do you want a piggy back ride?" And then she hoped up on my back.

We aren't dating, I thought to myself, but this is the kind of stuff we could do if we were. We got to my house and my mom asked her if she wanted to sleep over.

"Uh, sure. I would love to. I'll just text my mom and tell her I'm staying here for the night," said Katniss in the sweetest voice.

"Okay sweetie."

"My mom said sure, just with one condition…"

"And that would be?" I asked her

."That you take me to Clove's house tomorrow."

"Ughh. Fine. If I have to," I said jokingly with her.

"Thank you. I feel the love."

We put on a movie and fell asleep on my bed.

I woke up in the middle of the night to go pee. When I came back I saw she was curled up in the corner. I got the blankets and covered her. I wanted to curl up with her and cuddle with her. I did. I thought to myself, if she wakes up I'll play it off as I was asleep and didn't know.

When I woke up in the morning she was gone. I went into the bathroom assuming no one was in there. I walk in and she is getting out of the shower. She was full on naked. I looked at her and I said "Oh. Oh. I'm sorry. I'll leave."

When she got out she went into my room and said "I'm sorry, I should've locked it"

"It's okay. I'm sorry." It got silent. She ran out of my room, unexpectedly. I tried to go after her, but she ran fast. I couldn't keep up.
