What if Peeta haad a best friend ? Who just so happened to be inlove with him?
Chapter 1
Oh no, I think as soon as I wake up. There's only two days left until the dreaded reaping, I don't want to leave the comfort of my small mattress but I must go to school. I don't want to go, all we learn about is coal and I know that I can't spend my life being a miner. I've thought about running away, but I know I can't do it. I would be leaving something behind that is mush to dear to me to ever leave. Peeta Mellark. Even the sound of his name gives me chills. He has been my best friend since kindergarten. I just couldn't leave without him. I know that he would never leave the safety of district twelve anyways. He couldn't leave his family he always says but I think that's a lie. I think the real reason he won't leave is because of a certain girl. A certain girl named Katniss Everdeen. I despise her, I mean i'm sure she's a lovely person and all but she has everything I've ever wanted and more. A family. A little sister. Peeta. Yet she doesn't see how lucky she is. I've never once seen her smile. If I had all those things, I would never stop smiling.
My family died when I was 5 and know all I have left is Peeta. He's the only reason I get up in the morning. Yet he doesn't even see me the way I see him. I'll always be like a sister.
I get up and raked my finger through my hair to untangle it. I look at myself in my mirror. No wonder he fell for Katniss. She's beautiful, while I'm just... Me. Long dull blonde hair, boring grey eyes, long skinny body. I'm nothing special. Not like her, according to him she has beautiful flowing dark hair, haunting grey eyes and a voice that could make any man weak. I'll never be able to compare. I walk into the little room I call a kitchen and grab a small piece of bread that I made with my tesserae, to eat for breakfast.
I walk outside and see that Peeta's already there waiting for me. It surprises me that he walks to the seam everyday just so he can walk to school with me. His blonde hair looks perfect even though he doesn't try. You can see all his muscles though his shirt, which he's gotten from lifting all the bags of flour at his father's bakery.
"Good morning Beautiful." He says with a smile, just like every other morning.
"Haha Peeta, you're hilarious." I reply, while really I'm blushing on the inside even though I know he doesn't mean it.
"Ready for another wonderful day of learning about coal?"
"I'd rather stick a fork in my eye then listen to another pointless lesson about where coal comes from. But I guess I'm as ready as ill ever be."
We walk the rest of the way in silence, because we know exactly what the other is thinking. 'I'd rather be listening to another pointless lecture than go to the ceremony that's being held in two days.' I can't shake the feeling that I'm going to lose him soon. If it's to the reaping or to Katniss I can't figure out.
