thank you guys for the amazing reviews! i'm glad you like it... :) but leave more! i'm hungry for reviewsss
Daniann8- yeah, i'm pretty sure you're right but ohwell:)
DISCLAIMER- I thought I was Suzanne Collins. Turns out, I'm not. But I do own the plot and any characters I make up.
Oh, and one thing? Katniss is aware that lots of boys like her in the story. This chapter might be the slightest bit boring, but it sets the stage for the entire rest of the plot.
And when I checked this morning I have 1500 hits! Thank you guys so much! This is amazing considering the story has only been out a few days:):) i love my reviewers
**** 1500 hits, 12 reviews. If even a third of you guys that hit my story reviewed, that would be 500 reviews. Thank you, 12 reviewers, for making me not feel like a sorry ass. But the rest of you- review please!:)****
I've decided I'm Team KatnissxGale, because that way I get Peeta. ciao- let's get on with the story!
katniss pov
I wake up in a comfortable bed, covered in blankets and sheets that smell like fresh cinnamon. I don't know where I am, though. I feel a pair of arms around me. I turn around and realize, to my complete and utter horror, that they're Peeta Mellark's. At first, I have no clue why I'm here, but then some of the events of last night come back to me.
I found cupcakes and a squirrel on my doorstep.
Gale gave me vodka.
I kissed Peeta.
That's right. I kissed Peeta. Because I was drunk, thank you. I look back over to him to see that he's drooling and snoring. Gross. I slip out of his grasp, take my hunting jacket from the coat rack, and run out as fast as I can. Just as i'm leaving, I hear him call my name. But I can't wait around for him, to explain that whatever happened last night meant nothing. I look down at my watch to see that it's 5 a.m. I run to my house, hoping I can slip into my bed unnoticed. But i'm not that lucky. Prim wakes up.
"Katniss, what are you doing? We got a call from the Mellarks saying that you were staying with them, but what for? Are you hurt?"
"No, little duck, I just had an accident is all and they took me in. Here, lie down." I climb in the bed next to her and I fall asleep.
When I wake up, I realize that I'm late for school by over an hour. I slip on my new clothes, grab my bag and laptop, and run out the door. I see a small pastry on my doorstep and I eat it on the way to school.
When I get there, I go to the office to obtain a late slip, and I walk to Panem Studies. When I open the door, I immediately look for Peeta, sitting in the back. I look in utter horror to see that he is wearing a shirt that says this
I SLEPT WITH KATNISS EVERDEEN
Everyone is staring at me and Peeta and I know I must look the part because my braid is all mangled and I never brushed it. I take the only seat in the room next to Gale, still blushing. He looks at me with a disgusted look plastered all over his face.
"How could you sleep with him?"
"I didn't, Gale. After that goddamn alcohol you gave me, I was all drunk and I passed out. Then, when I woke up I was in his bed. It's not what you think."
I leave out the kiss because Gale so obviously has a thing for me. I don't want to hurt him any more than I already have.
"Gale, you know Peeta and I aren't a couple. Why would you even think I would sleep with him?"
"You guys broke up?" I'm confused but he has a giant smile on his face.
"We were never together, dumbass."
"But you both told me you were!"
"I never told you we were. In fact, in that email I sent you, I specified that we weren't together!"
"No, you said that Peeta was right, and he said you guys were going out!"
I see what he means. For whatever reason, Peeta thinks that he and I are in a relationship. He must have told Gale that. I see where all the confusion's coming from now.
Right at this very moment, something big hits me.
I enjoyed kissing Peeta Mellark.
I push the thought away, but I can't get it out of my mind. From what I remember, his lips were soft and tasted like warm sugar.
I clear my head, and for the first time ever, I decide to listen to what the teacher is saying.
"So each year, we have the Hunger Games in penance for the first uprising. All right, now, everyone get with a partner. I see Peeta looking my way out of the corner of my eye, but I walk over to Madge. She moves whoever was sitting next to her's stuff off of the desk I'll be sitting at and onto the floor.
"Now, open up your laptops and log onto '.net'. I slowly punch this in, and see the window load.
"Click on 'Books' at the top left."
"Now scroll down and hit 'Hunger Games'."
I don't know where this is going, but I don't want to read about the Hunger Games. The Reaping is in about 2 months (A/N I know I changed the timeline slightly from what I said in the summary in the first chapter, but it's better for the story, trust me.) and I'm not especially interested in reading more about former classmates of ours who were killed in what could be called the dumbest reality TV ever. Even worse than Jersey Shore and Teen Mom, if you can believe it. Prim's obsessed with Jersey Shore, but I hate it. My mom watches Teen Mom. She says she can sympathize. Whore.
"Now find a story and read it. It has to have at least 8 chapters and 10,000 words." I go to the filter at the top, and change it to 'Greater than 10,000 words' and click the Go button. The first one i see (A/N i don't think this is a real fanfiction title, but if it is, sorry ): just let me know in a PM if this is your title and i'll change it.) is called Peeta's Perspective: The Hunger Games. It's about Peeta's hunger games- wait, Peeta's in the Hunger Games? I start to read, and then it mentions Prim.
{"Primrose Everdeen! Congratulations, you're our female tribute!"}
I hope this isn't real. But what I see next shocks me.
{"I volunteer! I volunteer as tribtute!" Katniss says.}
I'm in complete shock. This better as hell not be real. I quickly close out and click on the next one. Which also mentions Peeta and I, but this time we're married.
I keep going, and i'm very clear on one thing by the end of it.
Unless we do something to stop it, Peeta and I are going to be in the 74th Games.
Cliffhanger! well, they are going to do something. There may or may not be an attempt to capture the reaping ball and possibly... change the outcome?
Will they still be reaped? Well, that's for me to decide and for you to find out.
MWAHHAAHA
love my reviewers! please review!
