Friday:
Peeta and Katniss, love story from the beginning 9:00am – 5:30pm
Over a breakfast of District 9's bread, Glow asked me what we were doing today,
"We're finding out about Peeta and Katniss, you know, about how they fell in love"
Glow paused, his mouth hanging open, "Love? Ugh! That's disgusting!" some of the bread he had been eating splattered onto the table,
"No Glow, you are disgusting. I think today could be really interesting actually." Glow was disgusting, he was eating like an Avox, throwing hunks of bread to the back of his mouth and chewing loudly; it wasn't even as if he had the excuse that he had no tongue! I could ask Mum to enrol him in etiquette classes when we got back home; that would sort him out.
"Yeah well, I'm going to go with Rayeed, the boy from the District 7 suite, I was talking to him yesterday, remember? You can go with your new friend from 12, so it's not like I'm abandoning you." Glow continued chewing his bread, I was a bit upset that he was going off without me, but it was good that he was making friends, I was making friends too. It wasn't really common in my class to get on with your sibling like Glow and I did, so maybe it was good that we were branching out.
"Oh, okay then. Hey look, Ex is here, let's go!"

I tried talking to Xylsee, I really did, but she was deep in conversation with her brother, he had the same coloured hair as his sister except that it was longer and pulled back into a scruffy knot at the nape of his neck, he was hideous, even the smallest amount of makeup could improve his looks entirely! Anyway, Xylsee was busy so I was left by myself while we watched the film about Katniss and Peeta, I really got into it!
Basically it was lots of clips of the two of them plus some commentary over it, there were things like:
Although Peeta did not show it at the Reaping, he was already deeply besotted with Katniss Everdeen.
When the Career pack had trapped Katniss in a tree, Peeta stayed awake all night to make sure she wasn't caught.
Peeta stepped in to save Katniss when she was spotted by Cato, endangering his life to save hers.
When it was announced that two competitors could win the Games, Katniss could not conceal her joy. She set out the next morning to find Peeta.
Katniss nursed Peeta back to health, risking giving away her position to the other tributes.
Once the film was over, Ex flicked on the lights, "Time to enter the arena!"
We were going to visit the vital points in Peeta and Katniss' relationship, such as the tracker jacker tree, the river, and the cave. All the models from when we explored the arena were still there, and I hoped we would be able to look at all of the Katniss and Peeta ones.
"Everyone grab a bike! We're heading to the cave!" Ex shouted. There was a crowd around the bikes and I was left with the last one, all the bikes were brand new so there was nothing wrong with this bike, but I would have rather had one of the first bikes. A call from behind me made me jump,
"Hey, Glee! Sorry for blanking you earlier, we were discussing the conditions in the Districts." It was Xylsee, "Want to ride together?"
"It's okay Xylsee. Come on, I'll show you all the tributes!" I jumped on my bike and sped off, Xylsee following me close behind, a flash of red passed me, "That's Amy!" I shouted over my shoulder. I flew over a pale looking body surrounded by a pool of blood, "Xylsee, that's the cripple, remember him? Wasn't it so cool when the Careers found him?" I didn't hear a reply but I continued on anyway, "Oh look, It's Rue! See, right there, up in the tree? She could climb really well!" Xylsee didn't answer me again and we kept on like this for the rest of the journey, when we arrived at the cave, I got off my bike and turned to her,
"Why didn't you answer me?" Xylsee was pale and shaking, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine" She replied, "I just suffer from motion sickness, and that huge puddle of blood that we passed didn't make me feel any better, how could you do that to a person?"
"Why are you worrying? It's only a game. Will you feel better soon?"
"I should, come on let's catch up with the rest of the group!"
We both jogged to catch up with everyone else, they were just entering the cave, Ex's voice echoed around the stone,
"This is where Katniss and Peeta's relationship really developed; here is where they shared their first kiss, which reached a viewing rating of 10 million in the Capitol alone. They were sent meals from the sponsors, and Katniss was given sleep syrup so she could go to the feast and retrieve the medicine for Peeta. She survived, but only just, if Thresh had been just a few seconds slower than he was, Katniss could have received injuries which would have led to her bleeding to death on the floor of this very cave."
Xylsee and I had made it into the cave now, there were more tribute models in here as well, there were a few of Katniss and Peeta in various spots around the cave. One of them huddled together in the sleeping bag, another of Katniss sitting worriedly by Peeta who had a wet cloth over his forehead, the droplets of water on his face looked almost real, it was amazing! Finally I saw one of Katniss lying on the floor with blood pooling around her head, Peeta was sat a way off, but he was reaching out as if he was trying to touch her. I heard Xylsee leave behind me, she must have seen the blood. I ran out after her,
"Not feeling too good?" She was shaking again,
"It'll pass, maybe tomorrow will be better." She smiled weakly.
A/N: I hope you liked it :) Reviews are welcome :D
