"Dude watch your step" I shouted at the guy that just bumped me.
"Oh I'm sorry. It's my fault. Let me grab this for you." He bend forward and I was thinking about giving this ass just a little bump so he'd fall. Sadly enough I'm too good hearted for that.
He stood straight again and now I recognized him again. It's Peeta Mellark. One of the popular kids in school. I hated this fact that made him unreachable. My crush on him is going on for ages already. But I just pushed it away, as I realized it would never happen between us. I'm not like the sweetest girl and far from the prettiest. I'm random sized. Always wear my hair in a slobby braid. And my clothing is just always the same. Little leather boots. Just some shabby pants and a way to big tee.
'Peeta.' I almost sighed cause of stress. His beautiful piercing eyes just made my skin chill and my heart skip a beat. He slowly came up and smiled a little.
'Hello, miss "I'm a little grumpy". How are you?' He still held my books.
'I'm good Peeta. How are you?' I asked shy but still loud.
'Great Katniss. Really. Especially the last 5 minutes.' He looked at me with that sweet look that I can't stand. I leaned at the wall cause I knew I would fall if I didn't.
'So did you go to Delly's party last weekend? Cause I was planning on seeing you there. But I couldn't find you.
No Peeta. Stop it. Peeta and I know each other for a long time.. a very, very long time. But it's just the nature of high school. Hot guys like him go do cool stuff like sports. Well actually Peeta never liked sports. He's more artistic. Again. Another detail on sexyness.
'No.. I.. no I wasn't there.' I played with the end of my braid and Peeta followed my hand. Going to my upper lady part. He was checking me out. And he just got me freaked out.
'Peeta!..' He looked up in shock, embarrassed about the staring. 'if I would ask you to punch me would you do it?'
I need to know If I was dreaming.
'Well.' I saw him breaking brains. 'Only if you really want to?' He asked playfully and said 'If I would ask you to go picnic with me. Would you do it?'
OKAY so stop now! Did Peeta Mellark just asked me out. Stay clear Katniss. You have a reputation.
'Only if you really want to?' I asked really cool while my inner body just kept fainting and wake up.
He got a big smile on his face. 'Well that's set. After school we'll go to my house. Get the basket and go to the park .'
He spread his arms to give me a hug. But I stopped him with a finger in the air like I was telling him to stop.
'You already get a basket done? You just thought I would say yes anyway?' Getting a little offensive here.
'I didn't knew if you would go with me.. I just hoped. And if you didn't want to go I'd ask Prim.' He said sarcastically.
Prim is my little sister. She takes art lessons of him and they are pretty good friends, like everyone when they meet Primrose, her full name btw.
'can I hug you know? Cause I really want to.' He asked with his head a little bit to the side. I said yes and his big arms just took me in. Made me touch his muscled body. I put my arms around him. He walked away. Leaving me there. I finally opened my locker to change books. Only thought. Peeta. With a sigh I slammed my door and looked outside. Wonderful picnic weather. Rain.
The whole school was dismissed and I walked with Peeta on my side, holding up a umbrella, to his car. The awkward silence while the ride was filled up with his constant talking. I was just thinking about the fact that I was going to be alone in a park with Peeta and without me mentioning it, I was in his house. His bedroom to be exact. He just opened the door for me and let me inspect it on my own. It was beautiful with paintings all over. It was simple if you didn't count the art. There was a desk, a wardrobe, a bed and that's it. I walked to his bed.
'Peeta, why did you ask me to go out with you. Since we haven't had a proper conversation for about a year.' I asked him while I went to sit on his bed. It seems to take him a lot of energy to come up with an answer. He slowly walked up to me and came sit right next to me.
'Well, that's simple. Cause I crush on you my whole life. And you looked so unreachable. I didn't had the balls to meet ya.' He lay his hand over mine and try to make our fingers trough each other.
'Katniss… I love you.'
