Hey I just wanted to say the bit about the music teacher is a true story it only happened on Tuesday (10/3/2014) also thanks for reviewing Mellark love any reviews are much appreciated I'm not sure where this story will go so please give me some ideas and how shall I introduce Gale?
Now for the story . . .
Katniss POV
After yesterday, I realised how confused I was so I decided to tell Prim this morning but I don't want to tell mum yet so for now it's just Prim. I asked her to come into my room just after we had woken up and she did so, she climbed into my bed and I began to explain about my old crush and then he was an idiot, but now I think my crush may be there again. Then came the confusing bit about him kissing me, Prim listened closely through my story and she didn't say much afterwards,
"Four words - match made in heaven!" I groan, "come on, Katniss. He kissed you! Guys don't just randomly kiss girls without it meaning something to them and along with what he said after about him not being able to wait that long. Katniss he loves you and you love him. You have to promise me something though, if he asks you out say yes."
She gives me her puppy dog eyes and pouts, she knows I can't resist that look, "fine! I promise, I guess it won't be that bad any way."
She smiles successfully, and we both get to our usual morning routines, we finish say goodbye to mum and walk out the door to catch our bus. Prim sits near the front with her friends and I see Madge and Annie sitting towards the back, I'm walking up the middle when I'm stopped by an arm. I look at the owner of the arm and it's none other than Peeta Mellark.
"Katniss, we need to talk," he says seriously. "Now preferably."
"I thought you went to Jabberjay's not Mockingjay's, and I was told you walk any way."
"Katniss, just sit down," he pats the seat next to him, I sigh and sit next to him. "Sorry, about yesterday, but can you promise me you'll come tonight?"
"I guess so," and his face lights up and we continue the ride to school in silence. Half way through the ride though I turn to see two guys teasing and upsetting Madge and Annie which angers me, I get up and walk down the aisle of the bus. The two guys have there backs to me so I tap them both on the shoulder and then turn around,
"Go away, grey eyes can't you see we're busy here?" One of them asks, "go sit somewhere else."
"I would but my fist has an appointment with your face," before either of them can register what I just said I hit them both in the nose. But they immediately make a come back the tallest one grabs my arms to prevent me from fighting back whilst the other starts to throw punches, he's thrown so many I feel another will make me pass out but they stop. I realise Peeta has knocked the other one out and is pulling the tallest one off me and then knocks him out. I'm about to thank him when I feel dizzy and I feel myself fall and I black out.
I awake a couple of hours later and find I'm in the nurses office, I slowly sit up and look around to find the nurse at the computer at the other side of the room but surprisingly Peeta is sitting right next to me.
"Hey," I say which makes him realise I'm awake and he smiles, "what happened?"
"I'll leave you and your boyfriend alone for a minute," the nurse says and she get up and walks out of the room, my eyebrows are raised.
"Boyfriend?"
"Yeah, sorry she wasn't gonna let me stay other wise, and it was my fault I didn't have the guts to react after the first punch not after the seventh, I'm sorry. Do you want me to go?" He asks.
"No," he looks shocked at my answer. "Stay please! And anyway what happened after you knocked out them two guys?"
"Ok, I'll stay. Well about the fight, I may or may not have caught you as you fainted and then I may or may not have carried you bridal style into the nurses office," Peeta admits shyly.
"Really?" He nods, and I believe him, I believe him so much that I find myself kissing him, put he doesn't pull away, he kisses me back. "Does this mean anything?"
"I guess you want me to do it properly?" He asks and I nod waiting for a question, "well I guess you'll just have to wait until five o'clock tonight then won't you."
I go in a huff at his answer, but this just brings more puzzling questions to me like, Did he know I loved him? Did he expect me to fall for him? Was this his plan all along? The questions just make me feel like I'm going mental, and grumble with anger which shocks Peeta but I just continue to walk around the nurses office until she comes back, I take the opportunity to look at the clock it reads quarter to three that means Peeta's been here all day and I should be I English with Mrs. Twill.
"Peeta?" I ask, he looks up at me so I continue, "have you been here all day?"
He's about to answer when the nurse comes in, I'll just give you some paracetamol and your boyfriend said he'll walk you home. I nod and accept the medicine and Peeta hands me my bag and he gets up from his seat, and he walks me the two miles home I still don't understand why.
I walk in and see a note on the dining table, it reads: Katniss, Prim has a dentist appointment and then we're visiting Auntie Hazelle we won't be back until seven. Dinners in the fridge. Luv you lots, Mum xxx
I decided to pass the time by getting ready for the park, this week Tink's owners are on holiday so she's in the Kennels but I have to go see Peeta. It's still only quarter past four when I'm ready so I watch TV until ten to five and I set off for the park. As I turn up the alleyway that leads up to the park, it seems deserted and I begin to worry. I reach the park and see none but someone pats me on the shoulder and as I turn around I'm greeted by a smiling Peeta who holds a bunch of roses in his hand and he gives them to me.
"So, what was so important about us coming here," I ask.
"Well, if you were more observant you would of noticed but anyway," he continues getting back to the point. "Katniss, will you go on a date with me?"
"I don't know, when?" I ask, playfully but he looks worried but answers my question.
"Now, right here," he says.
"Of course, Peeta. What did you have in mind?"
"How about a candlelit picnic under the stars?"
"Really?"
"Anything for you," he smiles happily. "Follow me"
We link arms and he guides me around the other side of the park where I see a picnic laid out which is surrounded by candles. It looked so romantic, I loved it, he had made these amazing cheese buns they were still warm inside. We get to know a lot about each other too which was nice but there was still one unanswered question,
"Why did you act like an idiot around Delly?"
"It wasn't like that, she had come into the bakery earlier that day and really missed my family off and when they found out I was the only one who had ever seen her before, they blamed me. You don't know how horrible it was, she needed to realise what the consequences were. I am sorry though."
I don't reply because others had told me this and I never believed them, the only reply I give is a kiss at first he seems shocked but then he deepens the kiss and it turns into a make out session. All I can think is I'm falling for Peeta Mellark.
