CHAPTER 1

I wake up in my family's freakishly giant house then put a nicer t-shirt on and put my long blonde hair in a ponytail and go down to the living room where someone is making breakfast. Probably a new boarder I think. I get into the kitchen and have to blink a few times because here in my kitchen is Peeta. As in Peeta Mellark. "Morning you must be Meta" he says to me.

"Yea that's me, what are you doing boarding here?" I ask.

"You are thinking that I should be with Katniss right?" he asks back.

"Yes. What, what happened?"

"Well you see… she dumped me for Gale, because they had 2 kids. So I needed somewhere to stay, and it turns out there's a benefit." He answers me looking me down and continues. "How old are you?" He asks, and I can tell he is faking he knows how old I am. I can tell, and I know what the benefit is. I'm going to play dumb.

"21 you?" I answer

"22" he answers.

"Oh." I say. STUPID, I think, YOU KNOW THIS YOU HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM BEFORE KATNISS WAS.

"Any way I came here to see someone I like, well love." He responds

"Who? Let me guess the brunette on the third floor?" I ask.

"No,"

"Who?" I ask.

"YOU!" he finally says

"What?" I ask making sure I heard him right.

"Y-O-U, Meta." he says slowly.

"Oh"

"Please tell me you love me too." He says, with a painful look in his eyes, as if he will die if I say no

"I have loved you for a while now actually, and now how about breakfast." I say back.

"Only for my girlfriend." He answers holding the plate above his head. WOW WHAT A BAD WAY TO ASK MEE OUT, I think.

"Aww thanks." I say managing to take a piece of bacon by jumping up and nearly knocking the plate over.

"You little-"

"What, what were you about to say? 'Cause I you had finished that sentence I was going to slap you," I ask finishing his sentence.

"Oh, well then have all the bacon you want." He laughs. We both know I'm strong but he could easily squish me like a bug plus he has been in the Hunger Games. I hug him for a while then hear someone coming down the hall probably my mom.

"Wait I'm usually not up this early in the morning and I'm probably not allowed to date you." I say pulling away.

"Why?" he asks a in a sad tone.

"Not you, business if we ever break up its going to be bad." I say.

"Well believe this, I Peeta Mellark will never leave you, Meta." He says down to me.
