Chapter 3
Me and Peeta continue talking about everything and nothing. He tells me that he owns a bakery and I tell him that I hunt. We just share little bits of information about ourselves and we go on like this for a while. Well, until he checks his watch.
"Whoa! That's the time already? I'm sorry Katniss but I've got to run. It was amazing to meet you." He sang full of happiness.
"It was great to meet you too, Peeta." I state with the same amount of enthusiasm as him. All happiness disappears from his face.
"Well, I'll see you around." I nod my head toward him as he smiles sadly again, picks up his coat and walks out of the small cafe and I'm left alone.
That was... different. Why did I just tell him all that stuff about myself? I literally just met him and I'm opening up to him like I have known him for years. Now that I think about it, I have hardly spoken since... Prim.
I miss her so much that it hurts. Without her I don't know where I would be, she was my only reason to survive.
Tears start to fill my vision and I hastily wipe them away and grab my bag, I dash out the cafe and run back home. I crawl in my bed, under all the blankets and sleep.
The next morning I wake up free of nightmares for the first time since I was 11 and now I'm 21, so since 10 years. Instead I dream about Peeta, my dream was just us, sat in a field.
As much as I hate to get up, I have to. I clambered out of bed and threw on a pair of slippers so that my feet wouldn't freeze against the cold, hard ground of the tiled kitchen floor.
I get to the bottom step and make my way towards the kitchen, just imagining one pair of bright blue eyes and, once again, for the first time in a while, they weren't Prim's.
I take a seat on the small barstool. Oh by the way, did I mention that I'm practically rich? My uncle Haymitch won a game show called the Quarter Quell and left him with fame and riches. And of course with me being his niece and extremely poor, almost about to die of starvation, he had to split his winnings with me. But I live alone now, my mother lives with him because I couldn't look after her well enough, so now I live alone.
"Morning, Katniss." I hear Sae, my maid say. I don't like to think of her as my maid, more as a friend. She passes me my breakfast, it was just some toast today.
"I've got some different bread, the new baker said it was his finest." She smiles at me.
"Thanks Sae..." The comment about the new baker made me think, did she mean Peeta?
"Oh, Katniss? I know this is a big favour to ask, but... The new baker, he isn't in the best place right now, emotionally or financially, he really needs some extra cash, so I was thinking that maybe you could help?" Sae stuttered.
"Okay Sae, but as long as he does his job." She sighs with relief.
"Thank you so much, Katniss! Don't worry he'll do his job, he's a hard worker... But one more thing... He needs a place to stay?" Sae is a little bit more confident this time but wobbles off at the end. I want to know why she's so scared if me.
"He can have the basement, there is a small kitchen in there anyway, for his baking." I smile kindly at her.
"I have to go tell him now! Thank you so much! You won't regret it, I promise!" I nod my head at her and let her leave to go get the baker... Who I can only hope is Peeta.
