Hey guys I'm back! So I started writing this story and I had published two chapters, and I had already written about 6, but then it got removed because it was a Josh and Jen fic, and those are real people. So I have decided to publish this story again, but sadly it will be in their characters names, not their real ones. So here goes the whole story, again.
Alright so to try and write this story faster I have decided to write it on my iPod and then I'll transfer it to my computer so sorry for any mistakes that I didn't catch. So basically I was reading this one story that's a fic about josh and Jen and Liam and they end up going to a carnival. And it made me think of fright night. Now I'm from Vancouver Canada and fright night is when Playland, an amusement park here, is all Halloween themed. They have a bunch of haunted houses and scary actors that are everywhere in the amusement park. And I just love fright night. So I thought what could be better than my favorite actors going to my favorite event? This would create probably a really good story at least it would be easy for me to get really into it. So I guess I'll kind of give you the plot. So they have finished filming the hunger games and Peeta and Katniss are up in Vancouver. Peeta likes Katniss but she's oblivious to it. Btw I suck when it comes to writing about romance but I'll try my best. And so they meet Cato. This is set in 2011 because well obviously they were done filming by then and stuff and it just works out that way cause that was when I went. Oh and at this point Katniss is a single lady because that's how this story works and rated T for language and stuff. Ok so here it goes
Peeta's POV
Alright so I have to admit, I might just like her a little bit. But I can handle myself. I mean I've fallen for my co-stars before, and I fell hard. But Katniss is different. And besides I have to admit I am truly falling for her.
Filming with her was awesome and now we're in a hotel, in Vancouver and I'm so close to her, yet so far away. I hear the door knock.
"Housekeeping!" I hear it say in an unusually high pitch tone. That Katniss, always trying to be a jokester.
I walk to the door and open it to see the unmistakable Katniss. In a casual white tank with a nice Hollister sweater over top and jeans. So casual yet so gorgeous.
"Nice try Katniss, but it was obviously you," I say to her.
"How'd you know?"
"Because! You always knock five times on a door," oh god, that better not have sounded creepy.
"Hah only you Peeta, only you. So are you ready to hit the streets? Go sightseeing?"
"Oh yeah I'm ready, but aren't you going to be cold in that tank? I mean it's October 27th! It's got to be freezing out there!"
"Oh come on, don't you think I look styling?"
"Health before beauty my friend," I say sternly.
"Ugh fine I'll change, but my rooms so far away, I'm too lazy to get it!"
I look in my room to find a sweater for her. Aha! A Wenatchee Baseball sweater my friend had given me a while back. Hmm I guess I never returned it to her.
"This should work!" I hold it up to her. She tries it on. It's a bit baggy on her but it looks nice.
"Is that perfume I smell?" she asks. Uh oh. Of course it still smells like my friends perfume, well I guess I should just tell the truth.
"Yea, that was my friends but I kind of um, borrowed it and never gave it back…"
"Alright," Katniss says, eyes peering at me, "but if you have a girlfriend I want to be the first to know."
I nod and we head for the elevator. Once we get out I breathe in the nice crisp autumn air. It's very refreshing. We start walking along the side walk and go into some stores to look. We end up coming to a big crosswalk and notice that there are two Starbucks across from each other. We both laugh and head into the one nearest us.
Once we're inside, we head to a table.
"I can go and get some hot chocolate if you like," offered Katniss. I nod and she goes and stands in the line.
I gaze at her standing in line so peacefully. With her long bronze shimmery hair falling over her shoulders. Her lips a bit pouted, while she gazes into a corner. I notice that she wears very little make up, one of the things I really like about girls. I like ones that can show how they really look and not be ashamed about it. Her long eyelashes, I like long eyelashes, fan her beautiful eyes. Those piercing bright-
"Peeta?" I look over to the source of the noise, to see a not so unfamiliar girl.
"Alexa!" I exclaim. What a coincidence that she's here. Of all people, she had to be here. I've known her since forever, I barely remember how we met, it's been so long.
"What are you doing here? I haven't seen you since forever!"
"Oh I'm just here to take a break from filming."
"Oh yeah! That's right, you're in the Hunger Games. How's that going?"
"Yeah it's going! We finished filming a long time ago but now there's all of these interviews to go to and stuff. It's pretty tiring."
"Oh I bet, you know if you're not busy any time soon, we should hang out!"
"Oh hi…" Katniss said as she arrived at the table with our drinks.
"Oh hey, you're Katniss Lawrence! Awkward cause I know your name… mines Alexa uh, and is that my hoodie?"
"Oh… so this is your hoodie…" Katniss said sceptically. Alexa sniffed the air.
"And, is that… my perfume on the jacket as well? That's kind of creepy."
"Ahah yea just a bit. Um come sit down, there's plenty of room here for all of us."
We all awkwardly sat down in our seats. I could tell that one of us was trying to start a conversation, but none of us could come up with anything.
Katniss was the first to speak up.
"So um did you guys like date before or something?"
"No!" Alexa and I both say at the same time.
"We've just been friends since, forever," Alexa stated.
And of course at that point I didn't think anything could get more awkward, when it did.
"Hey! Peeta my man!" the guy slapped me in the back. "And the beautiful Katniss," he said as he kissed we hand. If I wasn't mistaken, I would say that she blushed a little. Dammit.
"Cato! Haven't seen you in a while," Katniss warmly welcomed him, "come sit down."
He plopped down beside Katniss, of course. I always knew that he had a liking for her, but I used the more time me and Katniss spent together filming, as a kind of defense. A defense to keep him away from her. And now here he is, and I'm pretty sure, that Katniss is too glad that he's here.
"So spending some time here in Van city?" he asked.
"Yeah! We're here for the week, for an interview and photo shoot," Katniss said, too eagerly.
Oh god she likes him. I just know it. Ugh, I can't let it happen. I can't let her slip away from me.
"Hey so are you guys free this weekend? We should hang out! And Peeta, you can bring your, friend too if you like." I look over at Alexa, to see her smile awkwardly. Leave it to her to stay on my side. I'm grateful that she hasn't fallen for him either.
"Um, hey the weathers supposed to be nice on Saturday, we could go to fright night!" Cato said.
"What's fright night?" Katniss asked.
"Only the most fun thing ever!" Alexa exclaimed as she got up. "Hey well I need to leave now. It's too hot in here. I guess it was good seeing you again."
I looked up at her. I felt bad for her to leave so suddenly, and to be honest, I wouldn't mind catching up with her.
"Hey, maybe we could hang out tonight. I'm free so I guess I'll text you." I say.
"Sounds great," she said as she left.
The next few hours were a blur. We left Starbucks, and all three, of us walked around downtown Vancouver. I got to admit. You see some strange things here. I thought I saw it all in LA, until we passed a guy wearing a kilt, while wearing donkey feet and playing the bag pipes. It began to get late, so we headed back to the hotel. Cato asked if we wanted to go to a club. Katniss instantly agreed, but I said I was tired and denied the invitation.
As Katniss ran up to her room to get changed, Cato said the most uncalled for thing.
"So you like her don't you, and don't lie because I've seen the way you look at her."
"Um well…" I begin to stutter.
"Well I like her too. And I'm going to do all I can till she's mine. You may have tried to win while we were filming, but that didn't work out. So now it's my turn. "
As if just on cue Katniss walked out of her room in a tight black dress.
"Ready to go?" Cato asked. She linked her arm with his and nodded.
"Alright well, you two have fun. And don't get too out of control," I said as they disappeared down the elevator.
I walked into my room and slammed the door. Great now I'll probably never get her. I pick up my phone. Normally in a situation like this, I would text Anna, my other really good friend. But since she's not even in the same country as me, she wouldn't be able to help me. So I picked my next best person.
Hey, Alexa want to come over to my hotel room and hang out?
Ok so that's chapter 1 for you, and sorry for the big huge paragraph at the top of nonsense of me explaining things, but it was somewhat necessary. And yes Peeta has a friend called Alexa in this story and probably not in real life but who cares about that. And for all of you people thinking that I just made this as a fantasy of me dreaming about him. You're wrong I am not going to write a romance story about me and him because that would be creepy. And also that is in fact my name, Alexa. But I only used it because I suck at making names. And for all of you diehard fans, just pretend that Alexa is actually your name and get over it. Btw disclaimer, I do not own anything in this story except for my character Alexa. So please read and review!
