I was thinking of sleeping in when I remembered I was going hunting with Katniss and Gale in the forest. I lazily got out of my bed and went to have breakfast. Everyone knew we owned the bakery so they thought we had fresh bread for breakfast everyday but they are so wrong. I know we should but instead we have stale and leftover bread. Mum wants to keep the fresh ones for our customers. I smell fresh bread and I know that a customer has already ordered some.

I sit down in my usual seat next to Alex and Dad. I can see that Alex had already eaten because his plate had bread crumbs on it. Alex left really early today because he was going to go on a date with Sara a girl in his class.

"Peeta what are you doing today?" my dad asks even though I told him so many times.

"I'm going hunting with Katniss and Gale" I say for the hundredth time.

"See I told you" he says to mum.

I quickly ate my breakfast and had a shower. I got dressed in some long pants and a plain top and bought a backpack with me just in case. I walked on the path which I usually took when going to Katniss' house. The walk wasn't that far only like 3-5 minutes. When I reach Katniss' house I see that Gale and her are all ready to go because I can see their bow and arrows and game bag outside. I knock on the door once then twice I was about to knock on it the third time but Katniss opens it.

"Hey Peeta, are you all ready to go?" she asks me straight away

"Yeah" I say.

Katniss was wearing her dad's hunting jacket and some pants and a top and her hair was in its usual braid down her back.

"Hey Peeta. I see you made it" says Gale from behind Katniss.

Gale, Katniss and I walk over to the forest and go over the fence covering the way.

"Peeta you stay behind us ok" Gale says

"Yeah I can do that".

Katniss and Gale go in front of me their bow loaded. I'm walking behind them and watching their every move. Then suddenly Katniss turns around and whispers "Peeta you're walking to loud your scaring of the animals"

"Oh sorry" I said sheepishly

"Why don't you take off your shoes" Gale starts saying then he sees my face then he says "and we will to, right Katniss?"

"Yes" Katniss grumbled

So we all took off our shoes and walked in silence. I think it was better without the shoes because everything was all quiet. Katniss and Gale caught some birds and some squirrels. We went back to Katniss' house had some scones which Mrs Everdeen made.

"Ok bye guys I gotta go somewhere important" Gale says

"Where do you have to go that's so important?" Katniss asks him as she looks at him

Gale stands up waves and says "somewhere. Bye".

"I wonder where he's going to" Katniss says

"I don't know. Well you do see him a lot because he's your boyfriend" I say

Katniss stares at me then says "Well just because he's my boyfriend doesn't mean I see him a lot. I see Gale like two times a week" she explains.

"oh I see" I reply.

"do you see Madge alot?" Katniss asks

Now that Katniss mentioned it i haven't really seen Madge alot since we became girlfriend and boyfriend. "No not really" i tell her truthfully.

"We both have something in common there" laughs Katniss

Oh i love her laugh I thought.

"Do you have anything to do?" i ask

Katniss thinks for a moment "nope"

"ok then come on" i say holding my hand out to her.

Katniss takes it and i pull her out onto the path leading to town.

"Peeta where are we going"

"A surprise" i tell her.

"You know i hate surprises" she says while crossing her arms.

I smile because i know that but i still don't listen to her. I Katniss and i walked in silence but Katniss breaks it by saying "Peeta, what would you do if i was chosen as tribute in the hunger games?"

I can't answer that question because if Katniss dies i won't have any reason to live i thought. but i do answer "I won't let you go"

"Why Peeta?" Katniss says

I think to myself because i like you!. "Cause your my best friend" i say

We passed the town square and the houses until we stopped my house. I lead Katniss to my room and she sits on my bed. I go to my drawer and take out a battered book. I sit down next to her and hand her the book.

"Open it" i say

Katniss does what i told her to do. The first page was a sketch of Gale, Katniss and me. Katniss flips through the pages and everyone one of them had a picture or drawing of me, Katniss and Gale.

"Oh Peeta this is so beautiful" she says flipping through the pages.

"I started when we first met and since then i did some as we got older. it's like our memory book so we won't ever forget" i say

"I love it" says Katniss

I smile "I knew you would"

Katniss places it back carefully in my drawer and sits back down.

"Come on" I say as i pull her off my bed.

I take her to my friends house called Will.

"Where are we going?" Katniss asks as she notices houses around us.

"Friends house" i reply

"Who's your friend?" I hear Katniss say

"Will Stoher" i reply

"Oh" Katniss says

Will's house was near school and was pretty big. I took Katniss here because i promised him i would go to his house today. I knock on his door. 10 seconds later the door swings open and out came a guy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "Hey Peeta".

"Hey Will, this is my one of my best friends her name is Katniss Everdeen" i say gesturing towards Katniss.

It was at this moment Will noticed Katniss "I know you!" he blurted out aloud then covered him mouth with his hands.

"Hi" says Katniss

I take Will by the arm and lead him inside the house and say "How do you know Katniss?" i ask quietly

"I liked her in year 4 but now i don't" explains Will

"Oh i didn't know that"i say shocked

"Nobody knew except for me and now you know too" he says to me.

"oh ok" i say

Katniss follows us in the house after Will and i finished talking. Katniss was looking around everywhere probably because she hasn't been to alot of merchants houses. "Uh Will remember you were going to give me me work from school" i say

"Oh yeah, let me just go get it out of my room" Will says and rushed out.

Will came back after a minute for so clutching a bunch of papers "here you go" he says giving me the papers

"Thanks. Come one Katniss lets go" i say turning around and walking out of the door. Katniss follows me out.

"What's that?" she asks

"School work" i reply

"OK" she says "Well i gotta go, see you later" she says while waving.

"ok see you later" i say. Then i am left alone.
