Chapter 2
Summary
Katniss Everdeen is 16 years old and has not lost her father; she is a very caring, nice, compassionate girl who loves her family very much. Peeta and Katniss see each other very often because her and her dad trade their squirrels for bread. Prim is Peeta's little sister, but Katniss loves her like her own. When Prim is reaped what happens. This story is on how the Hunger Games would have been if she hadn't lost her father and her ability to trust and let people in.
I forgot to say that Mrs. Mellark was going to be nice, well I guess you could see that now, but yeah because she had Prim she softened up.
I do not own the Hunger Games. Sadly
I wish I did.
This is my first fan fiction so please don't be too rough on my story but I would love to hear your opinions on how I could write better. Thanks!

Peeta's POV
I take my pencil and make intricate lines on my paper, the picture is almost finished, but I still need to add the shadows. A dandelion, the first sign of spring. I'm about to add another detail into my drawing, but then I hear laughter coming from down stairs. It sounds like Katniss's father. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear, "Hey! I'm not that little!" I let out a chuckle and walk down.
I walk to the counter to see Rye and Katniss having a staring contest, I think. Katniss smiles at me and I smile back at her, "God, she is so cute!" I think to myself. Rye gives me a knowing look and I glare at him. After a while I sit down next to him and look up to Katniss, "So, Katniss, what brings you here today?" I asked her. "My father and I just brought some squirrels for you family to eat like always." Katniss politely answered me, of course, how could I be so stupid, why else would she be here. Rye stands up and says, "Well I got to go bake some bread, thanks for the hug Katniss." I sit there shocked, she gave him a hug! Why didn't she give me one? Katniss smiled back and said bye, but Rye had other plans, "What Peeta, you jealous she hugged me and not you?" Rye asked me. My jaw fell at that and I could feel my face becoming a dark shade of red. I stared at rye and all I could see in his eyes were amusement. We were interrupted by laughter behind us my mom, dad, and Katniss's father were laughing at us. I looked at Katniss and she looked so confused. I stood up and Rye already knew what I was going to do. He bolted for the door with me hot on his heels.
I chased him until he turned into a dead end. I was stronger and faster than he was, so I knew I was going to win already. I catch up to him and he looks for an escape but finds none. "Now, now Peeta I was only joking around." Rye tells me. I glare at him, "You know I like her and all you do is embarrass me in front of her!" I yell at him "Look I'm sorry, but I bet she thinks it's cute when you blush, although I think it's really funny." I lose my wrestling stance and I look at Rye, "Really you think she thinks I'm cute?" I ask him unsure. He nods at me and I say a quick thanks.
We walk home together, Rye still making fun of me about my huge crush on Katniss. I punch him several times in the shoulder to make sure he gets the message that we were almost home so he would have to stop teasing me soon. We get back and I go through the back to get to the kitchen because I don't want Katniss to see me all love struck. I get in and hear Prim yell or I guess squeal really loudly because she can hear Katniss. I guess I'm not the only one that likes her. I take out three packs of dough that I made yesterday, and start kneading the first pack. I finish it in five minuets and start another pack finishing in the same amount of time as the first. Prim comes into the kitchen, and she hugs me. I'm about to start kneading some more dough until I hear Katniss yell my name and I tried to get out of the kitchen as quick as I could, but being the stupid, awkward me I stumbled almost falling face first in front of Katniss. She walked up to me and I almost felt myself start sweating she hugged me. I was frozen for a second but I hugged her back quickly. She was a head or so shorter than me so her head was nestled in my chest so I knew she could hear my heart about to burst out of my chest. "Sorry I didn't hug you before, no need to get jealous." She told me, I felt my heart pick up its rate and by face starting to become a dark shade of red. She pulled back and looked at me, "Bye Peeta I'll see you tomorrow or something." She let go and walked out to meet her father. I was smiling like an idiot.
I walked into the kitchen again and my dad came in. "Who are you and what have you done to my son?" He asked my chuckling. "Hahaha very funny." I responded. "No seriously, what happened?" He pushed. "Ummm… I… Katniss hugged me." He looked at me and smiled. "I really happy for you son" He tells me I smile at him and go back to kneading the last pack of dough. "But seriously, do something to show her that you like her soon okay?" My dad tells me I nod and place the dough in pans to place into the oven next. Time passes by fast as I make bread for the next day as I think a lot to myself. The reaping is in a few days, I hope nothing happens to Katniss, she has her name way more than she needs to, and Prim it's her first year. I'm about to go upstairs to go to sleep. I hear pounding at the entrance door of the bakery. Can that person not read or something? I walk up to see Mr. Everdeen. I quickly open it, he was out of breath, sweating, and looked miserable. I tell him to sit down as my father comes bounding down the stairs. "Christopher, whats wrong?" My father asks him. "Katniss."
