Fresh air hits me and I hold the jacket tighter around me. I walk down the cobble streets, saying hi to a few of the people who I know like Madge who we have been friends for quite a long time. Before walking towards the bakery, the fresh smell of bread hits me, making my mouth water. I enter, thinking it would be one of the same guys called Gale. He's like a brother to me, my best friend I guess even though we don't see each other a lot. A bunch of girls, even my sisters at times, always gossip about how hot he is or whatever. I admit myself, he is quite handsome but I would never like him in more than a brotherly way. But instead, I see a handsome face, with blonde hair and a set of the most breathtaking blue eyes I have ever seen. He looks up and seem to be awestricken, seeing me. I shake the feeling that I was blushing as I walk towards him, saying the same thing like I do to Gale. "Hello, can I get a loaf of white bread?" He looks at me for a bit longer before nodding and turns around, coming back out with the bread as I passes him the money, he flashes me a smile. "Hi, I'm…" He frowns slightly, hesitating before quickly covering it up b saying it quickly. "Hi I'm Peter." He puts out his hand for me to shake, I look at it and then look at his face before slipping my hand into his, giving it a firm shake. "Katniss." He nods and smiles. "Well nice to meet you Katniss."
"And you too" we both stand there a bit awkwardly. I clear my throat a bit. "Um I think I need change for that." He seems to snap out of his trance of staring at me.
"Oh, uh yeah right. Sorry, this is my first time doing this." He says nervously, finding the change. I smile a bit.
"It's fine, I know. It's really nerve wrecking." He looks at me, handing me the change. I smile and thank him before taking the bread and walk out without another word. I can feel his deep blue eyes watching me leave. I walk out, letting out a breath, which I didn't know I was holding. I take a quick glance back. He wasn't there anymore.
Huh. That's strange. I shake my head to clear my thoughts as I start to walk back home but I see quite a lot of people, I take am empty can before walking towards the side of the streets and start to sing. More and more people gather around, enjoying my voice as I enjoy myself. I love to sing, I still do. My father had the voice of an angel. Whenever he sang, the birds stop to listen just to hear his voice. I smile as I try a more upbeat song as they all clap and laugh along with my voice. A few of the little kids dance to the song. After a few more songs I was finished and a huge crowd was now around me, applauding me, adding a load more coins in my can than I expected. I finish up, placing the money in my pocket a the crowd disappears back into normal life a boy with blonde hair and the same deep blue eyes was standing left, looking at me. It was that same boy. I look up and give him a smile as he looks at me wide eyed and mouth hanging. I smirk, raising an eyebrow at him. "What is it?" I ask. He shakes his head, seeming to clear his thoughts.
"You, you have a beautiful voice." He replies. I can feel myself go red but nod as in thank you. He smiles and takes out a coin and passes it to me. "Forgot to add one myself." I let out a smile.
"Thanks." I say to him, he seems to smile wider when I smiled at him. But then his smile fades, looking at my face again. I slightly frown as well. "Um…" He shakes his head but reaches out; his warm, soft hand touches my cheek as I wince slightly. I instantly know I have some sort of mark on my face. I recoil from his touch even though it was somehow comforting, looking away at him. "Are you…"
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Are you… sure?" I look at him sideways, nodding. He gives me a kind look.
"You know, you don't have to do this alone… you can tell me anything. I'm trustable." I look at him and nod.
"I'm fine." I say quietly. He slightly frowns, knowing I'm not. We both stand there a bit awkwardly before I start to move away, giving him one more glance, as if to say goodbye before turning back around, walking towards him as his voice suddenly makes a sound again. "Will I see you again?" I turn, his blue eyes look at me, almost hopefully and I smile slightly, nodding my head before turning around, walking towards home.
