A/n- someone asked me to do a thing of Peeta and someone else asked me to slow it down so in both of their povs I continue the story from wayyyyy before she dies!
Evie May-Star
Mum shouts up and tells me to get ready for school and that in about 10 minuets her and Dad will be going to the Jewellers where they work. I put on a mini skirt and orange(like the sunset) top after taking ages on deciding what Peeta would like best, would catch is attention and making me look attractive but not too slutty. My sister laughed at me as I came down the stairs saying to me "Orange again? Dear me, still trying to impress Peeta when he so obviously likes Katniss Everdeen!" I start protesting telling her I am not trying to impress him and he doesn't like Katniss! (Just keeping up the image)
I run down to Delly's house and we walk to school together. She goes on and on about how rich her parents are and when we pick up Sofia she just talks about how much she hates people from the seam. I just smiled and nodded but really wanted to punch her in the face as my real best friend is from the seam. Her name is Anastasia Abernathy. Yes she is related to District 12's only victor Haymich Abernathy, he is her uncle and they used to be really close until her Mum died. Now she has moved back to the seam and lives on her own in a small broken down house. Gah, the only reason I hang around with these people is because they are Peeta's friends. Peeta and I are great friends but I have to pretend I want him to be more than a friend sometimes. I mean I would absolutely die if anyone knew who I really liked, not that Peeta's not good looking or anything it's just, well I like a boy in the seam and if my parents knew they would probably die from a heart attack. My parents like Peeta and keep hinting at me that I should go out with him and all my 'friends' think that we would make a good couple. So when we ever play truth or dare and they ask who I like I have to say Peeta. I do love Peeta, but not in the romantic way.
When we got to school Miss Garner started droning on and on and on about the history of panem and how great the hunger games and the capitol are (as you may have guessed she is from the capitol.) "So children, is anyone thinking about volunteering for this years games" she asked, and as expected no one put up their hand. Thankfully before she could give us another lecture on how great the hunger games are the bell rung and we all ran out to the lunch hall as fast as we could.
Me and Anastasia were in district 3 (thanks to her Uncle Haymich) and we found these 2 boxes that we found out are called phones and you can use them to 'text'-send messages or 'call'-talk to over the phone- people! So we decided to use them to communicate with each other as since she moved to the seam I am apparently disgusted by her. My 'phone' buzzed in my pocked and I excused my self from the table and as I was getting up sneakily checked my phone and it was a blank message meaning to meet her in the toilets. I ran down the hall and pretended that I was desperate when really I was exited about seeing Anastasia. When I saw her she had tears streaming down her face and said "I'm so sorry Evie! I'm going to die. President Snow found out about me! He's going to make sure I get reaped!" Then she collapsed into my arms sobbing.
Peeta Mellark
As soon as Evie left Delly and Sofia and the others started going on about how me and Evie should get together and how she loves me but I don't believe a bit of it. Number 1 I love Katniss Everdeen a girl from the seam but I would die if any one knew and mother would give me a proper beating, and number 2 me and Evie are best friends but we don't like each other that way. So instead I pretend I like Evie and I think that she's pretending to like me too as I've seen the way she looks at a certain boy from the seam! I pretend to be embarrassed by what they are saying and smile sheepishly. I see a tall merchant boy sticking out his foot and Katniss falling flat on her face covering herself in food, I immediately make the connection and stand up angrily but remember what would happen if I did anything so sit down and say "Sorry, cramp!" Suddenly Evie came back with puffy eyes and when she spoke her voice was shaking. "H-h-h-hello sorry I took a while I, ummmm, I- the lock got stuck.
Hmmmm yes there definitely was something up with her, I'll talk to her later. I looked over at Katniss who was sitting at a table with Madge Undersee, the mayor's daughter, it's really quite odd how someone from the seam is friends with the mayor's daughter who you'd think would look down on people from the seam the most! Katniss turned her head and her deep grey eyes locked on mine….. "PEETA! ARE YOU LISTNING OR DAYDEAMING? I ASKED IF YOU WANTED TO MEET UP WITH US ON SATURDAY TO CELEBRATE NONE OF US BEING REAPED!" Shouted Chadley. I looked across the table at Evie and could see tears in her eyes. Aha so it's something to do with being reaped! "Um yeah, yeah course." I reply still thinking about Katniss and Evie. "Listen, Evie can I talk to you alone after school?" "Uh sure Peet" Everyone at the table whistles and then finally the bell rings. Next we have art yay! I paint a sunset and some hills but on one hill I draw a tiny girl with a bow and arrow in her hands….. After double maths I Run to Evie'ssss Locker and we start walking back in silence. Suddenly I see a small red haired girl from the seam who I recognise from my Gym class. Her first name is Anastasia but nobody knows her last name! As soon as the girl runs off Evie burst into tears and tells me how Anastasia is Haymich Abernathy's Niece and they are so close but President Snow found out about her so she is going to be reaped but she is so week and she will never win! I feel so bad for Evie and pull her in to a hug. She then realises that she has just told me that her best friend was from the seam and her face falls. I tell her that it's fine, I'm not like the other merchants and how I like Katniss. Her face relaxes and I smile reassuringly. I realize once I've dropped her off that she never had the courage to tell me that she likes that boy…. Maybe it was one secret for another.
Hey so please review and all those who review I will review your stories. I have a poll to decide the boy that Evie likes name!
Love you all
Katrue!
