Hey Guys! Sorry it's been so long. This story is kind of getting confusing for me and I haven't a clue where to go with it so sorry. I hope you like this chapter!

I do NOT own The Hunger Game trilogy or Love Story by Taylor Swift.

Peeta sat frozen and after he closed his eyes, sighed. "Katniss, what do you think those memories mean?" He scrunched up his face in thought and said, "It seems like we're Romeo and Juliet… which is odd given they're fictional." I laughed and he smiled back at me.

"I haven't a clue." I looked down at my phone, "Shoot! Peeta, let's go, we'll be late for testing!"

We ran out of the bakery and just before separating he said, "Have dinner with me at Cinna's, after?" I shouted a quick 'yes' and ran inside my class room. My professor, Mr. Abernathy, laughed as he took in my appearance, flushed and tousled.

"Another late night?" He laughed and I just pretended to be oblivious.

"Nope," I untucked the tendrils of hair that had escaped my braid from behind my ear to cover my face from his prying eyes. "Just fine." I said with a smirk. We started the test and I answered all the questions smoothly, only having trouble on a couple. I got up to turn it in, approaching Abernathy's desk.

He accepted it graciously, but what he said stopped me in my tracks, "Great job, Sweetheart." He raised his head, gauging my reaction. I abrubtly turned to face him. He then asked me to see him after all my classes got out.

I did after the rest of my testing and as I walked in he asked, "So, who's the boy?"

"Peeta Mellark."

"The business major?"

"That's the one," I sighed. "Have any ideas as to what those things are?"

"Things? Plural? How many times has this happened?"

"A few."

"I'll do some research for you," He grunted, "Now, go."

I quickly scrambled away to meet Peeta for dinner. On the way, I bumped into Jo.

"Kat! I was wondering where you were! I just left the dorm-"

"Sorry Jo! I'm really late!" She looked at me confused.

"Katniss Everdeen has plans! Does this have anything to do with…" She let the question hang in the air.

"What do you think?" I asked sarcastically. "I really, really need to go-"

"Nuh, uh. You're not going anywhere. I have to meet the boy that has got your panties in a twist."

"Okay… I guess…" So, we, together, headed to dinner at Cinna's Italian restaurant. It was decorated how you'd expect but more casual, round tables covered in red and white checkered table cloths, a romantic aura created by the candle in the center of the table, etc. I spotted his blonde head towards the back of the restaurant and moved toward him, Johanna on my heels.

Jo finally caught on to who I'm headed toward and grumbled under her breath, "No way!" I sat across from him and it caused his head to snap up and lock his eyes with mine. He didn't even notice Jo until she shouted, "Peeta! Yes, Brainless! How many times had I told you I had the perfect guy for you?" It had gotten the attention of pretty much the entire place.

"We've got company." I whispered to Peeta uncomfortable with the crowd's glaring.

"Jo!" He smiled his brilliant smile. "How long has it been?"

"Like an hour Peeta! You didn't bother to mention this during class or between class or at any point I've seen you the past couple days?!" I reached across the table and took his hand.

"Jo, I know you're angry now and I would be too, but it'll blow over and you'll be happy for us. Now please sit down. People are staring."

"I know, Brainless just let me blow off my steam!" She shouted, even louder, but sat down anyway.

"I was always wondering who Brainless was when we hung out, Johanna." I looked at him curious, "Yeah, they talk about you. A lot. Finnick called you Squirrel."

"Oh, god, he and I are going to have a talk. You know what, given we aren't going to have the date I wanted, I'm going to call and invite him over here."

"This was a date?" He smirked.

At the same time Jo shrieked, "This was a date?!" The she turned to Peeta, "Oh, no, now Brainless is going to be uptight all night because I ruined her sexy time." She sighed dramatically.

"Jo!" I yelled at her.

After, I called Finn and he agreed coming over within a few minutes. When he came in he immediately turned to Peeta and laughed. "No, way. It's Squirrel?" Peeta nodded.

"Don't call me that." I said sternly and shortly.

"Awe,come on. You have to admit it's cute." Finn said back.

"It's really not."

"Why do you call her that, anyway?" Peeta asked, curious. Panic flooded me.

"Don't you dare tell him, Finn!"

"Why not?" He pouted.

"Now, I really want to know." Peeta said.

"I'm going to tell him anyway, sorry Squirrel."

"Fin-" I was caught off guard by Jo tackling me from behind and covering my mouth. "Jo!" I screamed muffled. Peeta just stared at Finn waiting for him to tell the story.

"Okay so it was a month or so into our final year of high school, and I was wondering the courtyard looking for a spot to eat lunch with my friends. We came across this great big oak tree and sat under it. As we were eating lunch, the bell rang but we decided to skip and stay there the whole day. At one point I heard a branch snap above me and looked up to see Katniss sitting in the tree looking very worried about having to miss her classes. When we made eye contact, her eyes widened and she scurried up the tree away from us. Given that I didn't know her name, the whole year I just called her Squirrel."

Jo finally released me and I was fuming. "Finn, stop it."

"Katniss, there wasn't anything wrong with that story. In fact, I learned something from it. You can climb trees! I had no clue. It makes me want to learn every little detail about you." Peeta said.

I just huffed and crossed my arms but my resolve gave way and I took his hand in mine, giving him a loving look.

How was that? Please criticize if you feel need be. Thank you for reading!
