Sorry for not updating lately... I've been busy with something called life...
Anyways... I saw the ratings has gone down so I assume that chapter two was not that good...
But for those who still keeps reading my fanfic... Thank you so much!
NOW... MAY I PRESENT YOU... CHAPTER THREE: THINKING ABOUT YOU!
ENJOY!
I watch as Katniss disappears from my sight. I really don't know if what I'm feeling for her is real or not. Although, I just can't push the thought away from my head that I may have fallen for her. I mean, we're not even friends, aren't we? No… no… let's just day that I think I have fallen for her but it's just in my mind. Yeah, that's it. I just have to keep myself busy to keep me thinking about her. How about I paint. It's been a long time since I last painted and I still have those damages that need to be repaired.
Once I get to my art studio, I realized that I can't forget her, not until tomorrow when I have to see her again because of another stupid promise I made. At least it's for free. I looked out the window and notice from afar the meadow that we entered almost a week ago. I could still remember it. It is the place that made me get caught in doing things that I shouldn't have done. And those things lead to now, where I have fallen for Katniss. No, where I think I have fallen for Katniss. Yes, that's it. Minutes later I heard the door close "I'm home!" Terry shouts from below.
I quickly go down, wanting to talk to him. Because even though we're not exactly close, I feel the urge to talk to someone about this. "Hey bro!" I say as I see him.
"Look who finally got out from his room" He says teasingly. "You missed me?" He says sitting down the couch.
"You wish" I say joining him. "I just want someone to talk to"
"About what?"He asks. "You didn't get a girl pregnant. Did you?" He says jokingly.
"No!"
"Well, you're so nervous I thought it was about that." He says smirking.
"But it's about a girl." His smirk becomes a smile as I say this. I hope he's serious because I am. "Do you still remember the girl that I told you about two years ago? The girl I told you that I tripped" He nods. "Well her names Katniss, we've been enemies ever since that day." His smile becomes bigger. "Well, I have failed in almost all the subjects in school, so I asked her to tutor me. And when she smiled moments ago I suddenly feel something in my stomach, something I haven't felt about any other girl before." He just laughs the moment I said this. "Shut up! I'm serious!" I say.
Once he sees how serious my face is, he pulls himself together enough to answer me. "Well, just prepare yourself for the worst days of your life." He says this as he stands up, making his way to his room.
Ugh! How is that going to help me?
I follow him to his room and knock on his door. "Help me! I just want to stop thinking about her."
He laughs "Well. That's never going to happen! Just go with it!" Go with it? What? I want to forget it not go with it. I knock on his door again and this time he opens the door. "Okay, I think you're going to disturb me enough that you won't let me study. So here's what you do. The next time you see her, make her smile again. If you get that feeling in your stomach again, come to me and I'll tell you what to do. If not, never bother me again when I'm studying. Okay?" I nod. "Okay." He repeats and shuts the door at my face.
I hate his plan but I tell myself to just go with it. I don't want that talk again from my brother, it felt really awkward. The next time I would see Katniss is tomorrow. Great, I'll just go up to my art studio and paint things again. Although, I thought talking about her would remove this 'feelings' that I have for her. But by what I feel right now, it just made it worse.
Tick tock. I still haven't thought of anything to paint. Tick tock. Stop think about Katniss. Tick tock. You're wasting time Peeta! Tick tock. Stop thinking about Katniss. Tick tock. Hey, I think I'll just grab a dinner and get back here. Wait! The cheese buns Katniss still hasn't eaten, maybe they're still warm. That would go well with hot chocolate. I make myself some hot chocolate, grab the cheese buns and came back right up.
Tick tock. Time to eat some dinner. Tick tock. Hot chocolate is the best drink ever next to vodka and soft drinks. Tick tock. Now you're done eating and drinking, it's time to paint! Tick tock. Stop thinking about Katniss! Tick tock. I wonder if Katniss has eaten yet. Tick tock. I think I'll make her some cheese buns tomorrow. Tick tock. I love her white smile and the way her eyes sparkle. Tick tock. I think her eyes are gray just like Gale's. I wonder if I would feel that thing again tomorrow.
I look at the time and it's already 10:50… 10:50! Stop thinking about her Peeta and go to sleep!
I make my way to my bed, pull the covers over me even though it's burning inside here, and shut my eyes to sleep. Though I can't. I wonder if Keith's party is still on. I call him and seeing no answer, I bet it is still on.
I was almost out of bed when I remembered I still have practice for tomorrow. And that practice with Katniss to. I don't want to go to her house with a hangover. But I can't sleep. So maybe I'll just have a few sleep syrup in me to at least knock me out for at least eight or nine hours.
I take one spoon of sleep syrup and went back to bed. I slowly drift off with the image of Katniss inside my head. No doubt, I have dreams about her. UGH! This has to stop! I wonder if she dreams about me too.
When I wake up, I notice that the sun from outside shines really brightly for morning. Until I look at the clock and realize its noon! I thought I took the right amount of sleep syrup!
I quickly rush to my closet to pick out something decent. I quickly put it on and rushed in the bathroom to wash my face, comb my blonde hair, and brush my teeth.
I then rushed to the place where we are supposed to practice only to find Delly, the only person left, fixing the chairs. "Where's everybody?" I ask
"The practice was done 30 minutes ago. They already left." She answers. "Anyways… Here's the script, you're the leading man." She says as she turns to me handing the script. "Practice well because the play is two months from now. A week before Prom night." She then straightens the last chair and walks out the door then tell me to turn off the light.
They are really trying to kill me. By making me the leading man.
I went back home to read the script and turns out 'Amnesia' is a romantic comedy. So here's how it goes:
There is this guy, Paul, who fell in love at first sight with this girl, Julian. They met because of the speed dating. Even though she wasn't part of the speed dating things, she was the first girl Paul noticed. So he tried to talk to her at first but she turned him down saying she isn't part of the speed dating things. He, however, tried the second time to get to know her by saying some cheesy pick-up lines. She, in return, also said some cheesy pick-up lines, and that's how they met. On their wedding day, however, Paul got scared so he backed away from the wedding. Julian then felt hurt and ran away to the rain, crying. A year later, some instance made them see each other again in the grocery store. Julian, who didn't know what to say because of her shock and heartbreak, told him he can't remember him because she had amnesia a year ago. He, then, introduced himself as Ryan, his second name. After that, Julian talked to her friend, Michelle, about those things, and Michelle told her to act the part of being a clueless girl with amnesia. And then on, and on, with the amnesia until one day, there was a picture taking of an old married couple (Julian is a photographer) that made Julian break, telling for Paul to back away a little for the lighting (he was helping her) so as he did, she begun taking pictures, and then it rained, and then she told him the true story, which the last part she said she was hit by a car, and then he felt guilt and tried to do something for her to remember. On her birthday, he surprised her with all her birthdays in the past, starting with 1 year old, to be a children's party, with lots of balloons and toys, on and on and on, then 18, with her eighteen roses, and a beautiful gown for her, and slow dancing, and that is the time Julian fell in love with him all over again, and then on, and on, until her real age that is 28. Then they kiss. She suddenly feel the urge to tell him the truth, and he suddenly feel the urge to tell her it's him that she was supposed to be getting married to a year ago. Then he made a big surprise for her which was the place where they first met, and told her the story of how they met. He said one of the pickup lines and she continued the rest, telling him that she didn't really have amnesia. That left him stupid and heartbroken that they didn't talk for who knows how long. Then he had an accident, this time him with the amnesia, then, on the hospital bed, she did everything for him to remember. And on an instant, he remembered … I don't know what happened next … and after all those things, they get married. The End.
I look at the list of roles and who would play them. Delly is playing Julian and I'm playing Paul. And some strangers are playing other important roles. Great, another awkward moment for me and Delly.
I check my watch and see its still 2pm. I think I'll just be early for Katniss today. I then walk my way to the Seam because Terry is using his car and I have my car damaged. But it's actually not that far from our house.
Once I am at the front of the house, I knock three times hoping its Katniss who would open. But when it's opened, I see a small girl carrying a cat, must be 14 or 15. She is blond with blue eyes and light skin, telling me maybe I'm at the wrong house. But I am at the right house, because there's a goat, and this is the only house that has a goat. I look at the girl again and I see that she wants an explanation. When I don't say anything she then asks "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Uhm, I… uh… Do you know Katniss? Katniss Everdeen" I ask.
"Yes, she's my sister"
"Oh! So you're Primrose Everdeen?" She nods. "Where is she?"
"She's still hunting. But she would be back anytime soon. Would you like to come in?"
"Oh… yeah… Sure." I say following her inside. She lets me sit down on a chair and then she sits on the chair beside me. "Is she there with Gale?" I ask.
"Nope. He's still in the hospital. There has been an accident" Oops. Forgot about that. I really don't know if I would visit him. It's either he'll be angry to see me there or furious. "Do you like my sister?" She asks. What? I don't like her… do I? I simply shake my head to answer.
A couple more minutes of awkward silence then Katniss comes in the room all sweaty. She looks hot when she's sweating. "Hey Prim! I have got something." She says handing Prim some mint flavored candy. She then notices I'm here. "Oh… you're early. I'll just take a bath and call you when I'm done." She says as she goes in her room.
Prim then faces me again with a smile on her face. "You like my sister. Don't you?" Again, I shake my head. "I see the way you look at her." The way I what? "Here, have some candy. And if you break my sister's heart, I swear, she would break your face." She says handing me some candy.
Minutes later, Katniss calls me from her room and tells me to come with her. She reads my script and we practice a few of the start where the pick-up lines are. She really is good at acting, but only now I know that I am better at acting. We then practice some of the other scenes. The moment we're at the kissing scene, I could already fill my heart pumping either with joy or nervousness.
"Thank you." She reads from the script and leans to kiss me. I also lean for the kiss. I'm so nervous and excited I started to count down.
10… 9… 8… Oh my gosh! Here it comes
7… 6… 5… Is my breath okay?
4... I wonder what her lips would taste like.
3… Should I back away now?
2… Nothing between us could stop this now.
Well I was wrong. Before our lips could touch, Prim came in, which made us break apart.
So I we didn't kiss.
UGH? WHY?
I KNOW! NOT MY BEST CHAPTER!
BUT I SWEAR... IT WOULD GET BETTER NEXT CHAPTER!
ANYWAYS... REVIEW PLEASE! I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH
THANKS :)
