Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.

Hope you enjoy reading this chapter! lol. This chapter is one of my favorites (:

Previously on Chapter 5:

"Hey, did you get all the ingredients?" Peeta asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Yay! Now we can start baking!" Rue exclaimed.

XXX

I set the mixing bowl down on the counter and let Peeta and Clove do their work. Madge and Rue were talking while doing their work. It seemed like everyone had something to do except me.

"Katniss, can you come over here and help me? Clove had to go to the bathroom," Peeta asked.

"Sure," I replied and walked over to where he was standing.

"I just need you to hold the mixing bowl while I mix the ingredients together," Peeta said.

"Sounds easy enough," I replied while holding the bowl. Peeta plugged in the mixer and began mixing the ingredients. A few seconds later, flour began coating my jacket and pants.

"Hey!" I exclaimed when even more flour started ruining my jacket.

"Oh. I'm so sorry Katniss," Peeta said. I reached into the mixing bowl and pinched a little bit of flour. Then I flicked it in his face. I grabbed some more and flicked it again.

"Katniss, oh, you're gonna regret that," Peeta warned.

"Whatcha gonna do, huh Peeta?" I challenged. Peeta grinned and walked over to Madge and whisper something in her ear. She nodded. A few minutes later she came back with a bowl and handed it to Peeta.

"Thanks," he told her. Madge smiled and went back to Rue. I was confused on why Peeta asked Madge to get something. Clove and I already got all the ingredients. I was so lost in thought that I didn't realize that Peeta grabbed a handful of whatever that was in the bowl and threw it at my face. Some of the unknown substance flew in my mouth and I immediately spat it out. I put a finger on my face and took it off to find that a white powder ingredient was on my finger.

"Peeta!" I screamed when more flour hit my face. "Stop it!" I giggled.

"Damn you guys. I left for only a few minutes to go to the bathroom and you two are playing around with flour like little children," a voice scolded. Peeta and I turned around to face the person. It was none other than Clove. I turned around and looked at Peeta then whispered something in his ear. He grinned.

"Clover!" We both exclaimed at the same time and ran over to hug her. Our floury bodies crashed Clove's bony, petite figure. "We missed you so much!" Peeta and I chorus while grinning, trying not to laugh.

"Guys, let go," Clove panted," Can't-breathe-too-much-flo-ur," Peeta and I let go of her and started laughing. "That was not funny guys," Clove complained. That just made us laugh even more. "Okay, no more playtime kids. Let's get back to work," Clove demanded.

"Okay, mommy," I said in little baby voice. Clove stuck her tongue and I stuck my tongue back at her. Clove went to talk to Madge and Rue while Peeta and I went back to mixing. "So much for assistant cook, Clove," I thought. A few minutes later, the batter was almost complete.

"Here Katniss, wanna try some?" Peeta asked.

"No, I don't want to get salmonella," I replied.

"Fine, suit yourself, the batter is really good, here smell it," Peeta shoved the bowl near my face. I took a whiff of it and it made my mouth water.

"Okay fine. One spoon wouldn't hurt," I said him. I felt eyes burning the back of my head. I turned around and saw Cato's eyes glaring at Peeta and me. I turned around and ignored him. Then an idea popped into my head.

When Peeta came back with the spoon and I handed it to me, I asked, "Peeta, my arms are tired. Can you feed me the batter?"

"Uh, sure?" Peeta said with a confused look on his face. He scooped some of the creamy batter with the spoon and put it in my mouth.

"Mhmmm. Peeta you're right, it is really good," I smiled while putting my arm on his arm.

"Anytime," Peeta replied. I turned around to see what Cato's reaction was. His blue eyes turned a very dark shade of blue. He was clenching his fists and his jaw. His eyes showed pure hatred and jealously?

"Haha! Cato's jealous," I thought with a smirk. I look at Cato in the eye and raised an eyebrow. He just scowled and turned back to his friends.

Rue came over and said, "Hey, I saw what happen between you and Peeta. You two would look so cute together!" Rue squealed. I was still staring at Cato who was still angry. Rue followed my eyes to see who I was looking at. "Looks like someone pissed Cato off," Rue smiled.

"Haha. yeah, "I grinned.

"The batter is done and the cupcakes are already in the oven," Peeta said.

"Okay," I replied.

"Now we need to make the frosting. Tell Clove get the ingredients because she has been doing nothing," Peeta told me. I sighed and went to Clove.

"Hey Clover, get your lazy butt up and get the ingredients for the frosting," I said while shoving all the measuring utensils and the recipe in her arms. Then I pushed her to the supply table and walked back to our kitchen.

"There, she's getting the ingredients now," I told Peeta.

"Okay," Peeta replied. Then silence feel between us. I shifted uncomfortably. When Clove came back with the ingredients, I was relieved. Then Peeta and I went back to work. Making the frosting was really easy. After we were done, Peeta teased me and asked if I wanted him to feed me the frosting. I playfully punched him the arm and said no. Peeta bagged the frosting up and left it on the counter.

"Hey, um, Katniss?" Peeta said.

"Yes?" I replied.

"You have a little something on your face," Peeta told me. " He flicked whatever was off my cheek. "Oh, it was frosting," He said softly while bringing his fingers up to his mouth to lick it off. Both of us looked up. I stared into his baby, blue eyes while he stared into my silver-gray ones. Then I realized how close we were. I could feel the heat creep up my cheeks.

"Um, let's go check on the cupcakes," I said breaking the awkward moment.

"Okay," he agreed.

The cupcakes were done so we took them out of the oven and we all frosted them with Peeta's help. Each of us got two cupcakes. I took a bite out of one.

"Mhm," I moaned. They were so good.

"They are good, huh?" a voice interrupted. I looked up and saw Peeta.

"Mhmh," I replied while my mouth full of food. Peeta chuckled. I finished my cupcake just before the bell rang. I walked up to Peeta. "Thank you for making that wonderful cupcake," I grinned and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled and replied, "I didn't make the cupcake, we did. But you're welcome."

"Come on Katniss!" Rue exclaimed while running over to me. "It's time for lunch!" she grabbed my arm and then dragged me to the cafeteria. I chuckled. Rue can be such a little kid sometimes.

There was some Peeniss (lol, I'm sorry, it's just really funny) in there. There will probably be more in the next few chappies but I promise you that this is NOT going to be a Peeniss FanFic. I want to take things slow and make this story seem legit I don't want to rush things. But there will be Catoniss interact in the future and definitely in the next chappie. *HINT* *HINT* Please give me some ideas you have for the next chapter. Last tim I had a huge writers block. I have no idea on what to write in the next chapter. Lol. But I'll try to update...hopefully. Remember reviews give me motivation to update faster. I love the feedback I get (:
