Chapter 2: An interesting guy

I go to school early the next day, try to catch 'him'. I stand next to the school gate.

"Hey Katniss, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?" Connie asks jokingly.

"Oh buddy, I don't know you are always expecting that." I say after a short laugh.

"What makes you finally become a morning bird?" Marie says as her approach.

I ignore her question and say "I am waiting for some one, you guys can go to classroom first."

"OK. By the way, I am glad to see you being cheerful again." Marie says with a warm smile.

"I always am a cheerful pretty little girl!" I exclaim.

Just a minute before the school starts, I spot him, being alone, approaching to the school gate. When his eyes meet mine, I smile instantly. I wave at him. He hesitates for a moment then waves back, expressionlessly, like always.

"Hi! I am Katniss, the girl you just saved last night." I extend my hand. "And thank you so much."

"You are welcome." He shakes my hand then quickly draws back.

"I promise I will help you when you are in trouble!" He looks shocked. "Just to repay your kindness."

"You don't have to." He says without looking at me eyes.

"Whatever. I have determined." I shrug.

He is about to leave when I remember something. "Wait! I have got a question."

"What?" he says impatiently.

"Why did you help me?"

He looks at his feet for a minute. "Because you needed help and I could help."

One more thing is creeping in my head. "One more question" He scowls. I am going to be punched. "What is your name?" He doesn't answer.

"You know, it is impolite to ignore someone." He scowls harder. "Just kidding." I hold back a laugh. "I just want to be friendly."

"Peeta."

I pat his shoulder. I feel his body stiffen but I ignore it. "Nice to meet you, Peeta. Bye." I leave before he can say anything else.

He is really annoying. I have to hold back myself not to use a knife to force him open his mouth and answer me. But he is interesting, right? His scowl makes him look really cute. I feel the heat of my face. Stop it Katniss. Don't look like a silly guy.

As Peeta's image fades away from my head, I see it. A dandelion lies in front of my foot. How lovely you are my dandelion. As lovely as Peeta. And you taste good! I am going to eat you!

Oh right!

I finally remember my duty to keep my family alive. I obviously have forgotten about it as my head is busy thinking of that lovely boy. I shake my head, try to concentrate.

I know what I am going to do now.

I gently kneel down and pick up the dandelion. Thanks for your hint, my little plant.

TO: Rainbowed-Sunned-Spirit

I doubt that Katniss and Madge would be friends in this story. Cuz Katniss is not as quiet as Madge. But if you want to see that scene, I can think about it.

P.S. The next chapter is going to be in Peete POV.
