I walked through the door of the bakery. The smell of hot bread wafted out of the door and I took a big breath. Peeta was working the counter, he grinned at Greasy Sae as he gave her a loaf of bread.
"Hi Peeta!" I exclaimed, running up to him and putting my elbows on the counter.
He looked up, and if possible his grin just got wider. "hey," he said, pulling me around the counter and into his arms. He gave me a kiss and I laughed. "Pppppeeeeeettttttaaaaa, the oven won't work!" Everlyn wined. Peeta's mother thought he should marry Everlyn, as she comes from a semi-wealthy family, her father owns the butcher shop. She bats her eyelashes and motions Peeta over. Peeta just rolled his eyes, and walked over, me in tow. She had a batch of cookie dough in her arms, and was staring at the oven. Peeta took one look at the oven, sighed, and flipped the switch near the door. "The oven wasn't on Everlyn," he said tiredly. Then he slowly walked back to the front counter. Peeta and I were both 14, and love like each other very much. Do we love each other? I thought to myself. While I was thinking, Peeta had snuck up behind me and in one sudden movement, grabbed me by my waist and spun me around. I let out a high pitch squeal, and begged him to let me down. Just then Rye, Peeta's brother walked in. "I think we should keep her," said Peeta, while swinging me over his shoulder. "ya, I" Rye started, but then changed his mind when he saw the death glare I was giving him. "Um, maybe you should let her down, she's giving me the evil eye, and it's pretty menacing." Rye said, slowly backing away. "you ruin all the fun," Peeta mumbled. I smiled as he put me down. "hey, don't forget our date today," Peeta reminded me. "I won't forget." I replied. Today Peeta was taking me on a date, and then I would sleep over. It took forever for father to let me go, but when I convinced him how much I love Peeta how much we like each other, he agreed. Peeta's mother walked down the stairs, a scowl ever so present on her wrinkled face. "Peeta you nasty child, get that seam brat out of my house!" she snarled. "mother, you can't kick out a paying customer!" Peeta said with a wink in my direction as he handed me a loaf of bread. "But I didn't even…" I started, but Peeta put a finger to his mouth and walked me to the door. He pulled me close and whispered "I'll pick you up in an hour." I gave him a soft kiss and walked home.
I picked Prim up from the schoolyard, a smile permanently implanted on my face. "what are you so happy about?" Prim asked. "I have a date with Peeta," I smiled. "oooooooo," Prim exclaimed. She was still ten, and as innocent as can be. We rushed home so I could get ready for my date with Peeta. I ran the small wooden comb through my hair, and put it in it's usual braid. Then I changed into a plain blue shirt, brown pants, and my hunting boots. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. "coming," I yelled I quickly grabbed my toothbrush, toothpaste, and my white flannel night gown that I've had since I was 11, and put them all in my game bag. I rushed to the door, and opened it. The hot summer air blew in, along with Peeta. "Hey," peeta said, smiling crookedly. "I was thinking we could go to the lake today, as it's so hot," he said. "sure," I replied. I was a fairly closed off person, and the only people I really talk to are my parents, prim, Mage, and Peeta. Gale and I talk some, but we are like brother and sister, and we fight a lot. He's had a much shorter temper since his father died in a mining accident only a few years ago. I was lucky, and my father was one of the survivors. "I'll be back tomorrow morning!" I yelled to my family. "have fun!" exclaimed prim, an adorable little smile crossing her face. "I will," I responded, smiling back as I headed out the door.
"Here we are!" Exclaimed peeta. We came across the small lake in the center of the woods. I peeled off my cloths until I was only in my undergarments. Peeta did the same. We both jumped in the lake at the same time. I was still a little embarrassed to be with peeta in my underclothes, as I am so skinny from the lack of food. We swam and splashed and played for a few hours, then we got out and lay out in the sun to dry. "that was fun!" I exclaimed. "I have something to show you," peeta said, a little nervously. "ooookkkkk," I said while taking his hand as he put a blindfold over my eyes. We walked for about 5 miniutes when we suddenly stopped in a little clearing. Peeta slowly took the blindfold off. "ok, you can open your eves now." He said timidly. I slowly opened my eyes. We were in the middle of a small clearing with little yellow dandilions and a large oak tree. There was a checkered blanket in the middle, and a picnic basket lay to the side. "dd..dd..ooo…ooo you like it?" peeta said, stumbling over words. " I love it!" I exclaime, a smile lit up my face. "i..i.. I love you." Peeta said embarrassingly looking down at the ground, a pink tint coming to his cheeks. "I love you to" I said. He looked up, then brought me close and we started to kiss…
