Chapter 4
When I wake up in the morning I close my window and then get dressed for school. I wake up Prim and then eat break feast. Prim walks to school with her friend Rue today. It's so weird my that my sister already has a best friend. I walk slowly to school because I don't feel like listening to any of the teachers today.
Peeta's POV
Katniss Everdeen. The new girl. I feel like she stole my heart when I first saw her. There's something about Katniss that makes me feel special. I saw her looking at me yesterday when we were watching movies. She looked beautiful when she blushed. She looked beautiful period.
I walk next to Clove, my twin sister. She was the one that saw Katniss yesterday and then told me about her the hallway.
"Peeta, I think you like Katniss" Clove says to me.
"Why would you think that?"
"I see the way you stare at her. I think she likes you too but she's probably to afraid to love"
Clove can read anyone like a book. "All right. I admit it. I do like her. I doubt she likes me back though"
Clove rolls her eyes."You sound like a thirteen year old boy, just ask Katniss out"
"Fine I will"
Katniss's POV
My phone buzzes. I just got a text from someone. I look down at my phone but don't reconize the number.
Miss me?
It's probably some guy with the wrong number but I can't seem to shake this feeling that it might be "It." I shake my head. It can't be "It" I got a new phone number. "It" wouldn't be able to get my new number. I stop thinking about "It" and walk into school. I have about 10 minutes until the first bell rings so I sit outside. Clove finds me after a while.
"Hey Katniss! I've got a question for you"She says
"What is it?"
"Do you like Peeta?"
"No" I lie. I know I'm lying to myself. Why can't I just forget about Peeta Mellark?
Clove looks at me then says, "You're lying Katniss"
How does she know I'm lying? "I don't know what your talking about Clove, I only like Peeta as a friend"
She smirks. "Keep telling yourself that" She says walking off. I get up and head off to the music room because today I have music first period today. I sit down in the back and wait for the bell to ring. When it does the teacher starts talking.
"Ok everyone who wants to start this lesson with a song?" He says
No one raises their hands. Shocker.
"Well I guess I'm going to have to pick somebody to sing"
Crap. I hope he doesn't pick me. He points to me. Just my luck. I stand up and slowely walk up to the front of the room.
"Well what do you want me to sing?"
"Well I found this song by this female singer who lived in the United States before Panem was built" He says handing me the lyrics. He starts playing on his piano. I guess I'm just going to have to sing it.
Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching tear drops on my hands
Only silence, has its ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm mad of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm mad of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run run run I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
I can relate to this song. It kinda tells my story of what happend at my old school. It doesn't tell my story exactly but it deals with the same thing I went through. When I finished the song everyone clapped. I don't see why they clapped I'm not the best singer ever.
"Good job Katniss. You can sit down now" My teacher says
I sit down like I'm told and wait for him to speak again. I turn my head to the door and I see someone. I didn't catch their face. Oh well.
"Now class does this song have a meaning?" He asks
A girl raises her hand. "I think it has something to do with bullying"
He smiles. "Exactly"
