Mph. Katniss sighs when she finally sits down on her couch, she had been busy all day moving into her new house. Finally she had her own place! It's not that she didn't love her mother or her little sister Prim, No Way! They meant the world to her, but now that she had turned 18 and had finished school she thought that it might be time for her to move out.
She moved small town near Los Angeles. Johanna Mason, her best friend since high school had recommended it, especially because she was living here as well, together with her boyfriend Gale Hawthorne and she thought that they could hang out more with each other.
Now Katniss was living in a quite big house with 3 bedrooms, 1 big and 2 smaller ones, a shiny white bathroom and a living room immediately connected to a kitchen. She also had the cutest backyard with an old tree that stood in the right corner of it and a grass field that, now it was the end of spring, was full of colourful flowers. Dandelions, clovers, rue and Primroses. The Last 2 were quite funny because this are the names of her sister and her best friend, Rue.
they reminded her of when they were younger and little Rue , Prim and Katniss would go to the lake in the park near their homes and would search for Rue, Primroses and Katniss flowers to make 2 giant bouquets to give to their moms when they got home.
Katniss was shaken out of her daydream because of the ringing door bell, she opened it and saw Johanna standing there, Heey Brainless, she said, hey Jo, how are you? How do you think I am when I didn't saw my best friend for 3 months and have been living with this Idiot, pointing to Gale who is making this innocent looking face while saying, hello there Catnip, with a weird High pitched voice. We both burst out laughing.
I don't know how you keep up with him Johanna, I say.
The same way as you did since you were children she replies while sticking out her tongue.
That's true, Gale and Katniss had been best friend since they were little, they were living in the same street and would go outside together, playing hide and seek in the meadow in the park, having fights with branches as if they were swords, making their own bow and arrows and shoot on their stuffed animals Etc.
Well come in, I say. I'm sorry for the mess, I haven't finished unpacking quite yet. I tell Johanna and Gale while they come in and sit down on the couch. I had unpacked some of the stuff that I thought were most necessary such as my bed, some clothes, the couch, some pots and pans for in the kitchen, towels and the TV, but that was it and she was too tired from travelling to do any more.
Do you want anything to drink? I ask. Yes please Gale says while he turns on the TV. I'd like to have some coke if you have that. Well actually that's the only thing I have right now, together with tea and water, so you are very lucky. He chuckles. What about you Johanna? Can I have some water? Only if you say please, I say using sarcasm in my voice. Pleeeaaaase? She asks while blinking a lot . We laugh again.
I go to the Kitchen and take 3 glasses from the cupboard, I fill 2 with Coke and 1 with water and take them with me to the Living room. One water and 1 coke and exactly at this moment Eric Cartman from south park decides to say "you mother f *ckers! Which causes us to burst out laughing again.
After we have come to ourselves again, Johanna says, hey Kat we brought you something, Oooh what is it? I ask, when Johanna pulls out a plastic bag out of her purse. See it as our welcome gift, says Gale. But don't be afraid to share it with us! Johanna adds. I take the white box out of the plastic bag. It says Mellark bakery. Oooh, I like things that come from a bakery because most of the time it's food, I say. Johanna laughs and Gales chuckles again.
I open the box and I see the most beautiful cupcakes ever. They are double chocolate cupcakes, your favourite, Gale says. Then I see the flowers that are added to half of them, they are Katniss flowers but they look so realistic that if I didn't knew it was food I would've planted them into my garden. Wow those flowers are amazing!
Yes I know right! We had them custom ordered for you.
Aaaw thank you! Now I hope that they taste as amazing as they look. Oh trust me, Johanna says, they are even better. Well let's try them then.
I hand out the cupcakes and we take a bite, Omg this stuff is f*cking amazing! I scream with pieces of cupcake flying out of my mouth. I know right! Johanna says: but you better eat the whole cupcake before you say something if you don't want to lose half of with, while wiping the crumbs of her face.
Oh I'm so sorry Jo! I say. No don't apologize it's fine, you didn't kill me, she sticks out her tongue.
Gale and I burst out laughing again. What? Johanna says, what is going on.
No-o-o I try to say but I can't control my laughter and since Gale is lying on the ground, I'll have to continue. Yo-o-u-u-r t-t-t-o-ongue i-i-i-s-ss G-g-r-e-e-n I laugh. Johanna's eyes become big and she immediately closes her mouth. She reaches for her bag and takes out her little pocket mirror, she opens it and sticks out her tongue again. Her eyes become even bigger, it must be from the colouring in the frosting she says before she starts laughing which causes Gale and me to start again as well.
After we stopped laughing, Gale looks at his watch and says. Hey JoJo,
Don't call me that!
Oké, oké relax. Johanna.
much better.
Good, well I think we should go it's already 7 O'clock.
what! But we left the house at 3!
Yes that's right but it has been 4 hours since then.
Wow, wasn't expecting that.
Nope Gale says, me neither. So shall we go?
I could make you dinner if you want to stay, I offer. No thanks, Jo made soup and I don't want to miss that, pulling her in for a kiss. It becomes a small one on the tip of his nose, he looks disappointed. You will get a kiss when we get back home Gale Hawthorne, Johanna says we don't want to traumatize our little brainless child over here right? she says with a childish voice while looking at me. Oh please, your only one year older. Yes but I already had a few boyfriend and a first kiss, and a second and a third. Oke Jo I think you made your point clear, I say irritated. She smirks.
Well I want my kisses so come on Johanna, Gale stands up and pulls on her arm. Johanna stands up again and releases Gale's hand for a second to give me a hug. Bye brainless, have a good first night in your new house. Bye Jo, bye Gale.
Bye Catnip. I give him a dead glare. They walk out of the door to their car.
I wave while they drive out of the street. I walk back inside and go to the bathroom, change into some comfortable pajamas and go to bed. I fall asleep with the thought that I have to remember to find out where the Mellark bakery is when I finish unpacking tomorrow to get some more of those amazing cupcakes .
