I DON'T OWN THE HUNGER GAMES, OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS: FACT!
Take Two of Back to School
Peeta's Point of View
Once again we drove that morning to the school car park, very similar to yesterday, only this time we were going to try and make it to registration! Would we ever make it? Only time would tell! Finnick and Annie had promised to both come over and see us, so we would have no head hitting car door! I turned slightly in my sitting before pulling into the school car park to look at Katniss she was twindling with her fingers, trying to show that she wasn't nervous: but anyone could see that this wasn't the case! I had just cut the engine when both my door and Katniss door was pulled open and a smiling Finnick at my door and a smiling Annie at Katniss's door. Already Katniss had been pulled out of the car by Annie, telling her something that made Annie get excited and started throwing her arms in the air before they both started to laugh. Finnick and I watched as the two continued to walk towards the main entrance, both eager to get the day started.
"There good for each other. Annie could use a friend, and I'm sure Katniss wouldn't say no to a friend either."
"She may not have realised that she was lonely, but I think she enjoys Annie. I had to break it to her last night about Annie."
"We all knew it had to come... How did she respond?"
"She didn't want to show her pity, she wanted to be here to support her, but didn't want to show her pity. She knows what it's like to be alone."
"Has she ever thought of going to look for her mother? She has a choice of being the bigger person and going to look for her."
"She's stubborn, I would say both women are and neither of them are going to say that they miss one another. Katniss is never going to say that she misses her mother. She feels that she wasn't good enough for her mother: she wasn't important as the others. The others were like the glue that held them together."
"You still like her a lot?"
"Yeah, it feels like I'm living the dream. Apart from her falling apart all the time and being hit over the head with a door. We just seem to be getting on really well, I just home she just feels like this because it's an emotional time or she feels like she has too. I mean I would be happy if she was happy with someone else, as long as she is happy."
"Peeta, will you listen to yourself? You aren't making any sense. I watched how you two were last night, and the past week or so you two having been with one another and there is no way anyone could say that you two are not meant to be! It sickens me how good you two are for each other, it makes me think how I need to get my butt in gear and finally ask Annie out."
"What you have got to be kidding me? Finnick...you still haven't asked her out. What was last night then? She's going to friend zone you, if you aren't already there. How long have you know Annie? Since you were five years old, and you still haven't asked her out."
"At least I was able to have a conversation with her. How many days did you just sit and stare at her, saying over and over that you were going to go over and talk to her? How many cost I lost count after fourth grade?"
"Well, now I'm ahead of you and at least I asked her out."
Finnick swings his arm out and hits me in the stomach, making me grunt out in pain.
"Shut the front door, back door, and all the windows. Peeta Mellark, you asked out a girl without my knowledge! When were you going to tell me? When she was walking down the aisle or was popping out the sixth child?"
"Finnick enough of that. It was late last night and it was kinda sudden. I didn't even think she would say yes. I still think I'm on cloud nine. Pinch me?"
Of course Finnick pinched me as soon as I slightly gave him some sort of permission. Which of course started out as some sort of brother fight in the car, before someone's elbow hit the horn, and everyone had turned around to look at us. We finally noticed that the two girls were no where in sight.
Finnick and I jumped out of the car and I ended up having to carry the school bag that Katniss had left, when Annie had practically dragged her out of the car. We walked in to the school building to finding crowds of people, but none of them the two girls we were looking for. We finally bumped into Johanna and Madge who were standing were we normally stood waiting for the bell to ring for us to go to registration.
"Jo, have you seen Annie or Katniss? Peeta and I have lost them?"
"Little Finn lost his Annie, that's not something you hear every day. Has Katniss put her charm on her too as well as bread boy?"
"Jo! Have you seen them?"
"Yeah, Annie wanted to show Katniss the special place before registration. Annie wants to make a new friend and forget about the rest of us that is up to her..."
Finnick almost had Johanna up against the wall before he remembered where he was and more importantly that she actually was a women.
"Johanna, you take that back right now. We all know that Annie needs someone who she can relate to, and if that so happens to be Katniss then we will accept her too. We accept some of those douche bags when you hooked up with them and some of them still haven't left us yet. Katniss and Annie have both been through a lot in their lives and if they want to relate to each other or understand each other than we need to accept that. Do you hear me?"
"Yes sir."
"Jo, you do Annie looks up to you? She wants to be just as strong as you. She wouldn't forget you."
"I'm not worried about that..."
"It's ok Jo, we all know deep down that you have a heart in there somewhere."
"Go Lover boys before you are late for registration."
Finnick and I head over to the sports centre, walking to the back to were the pool was. We stood looking over the window of the door, to find Katniss and Annie sitting with their feet in the water talking. We couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I had never seen either of them looking so carefree in my life. Katniss looked beautiful. Her hair was in a braid, hanging over her shoulder, she never wore any make up and it was refreshing to see someone who wasn't hiding behind something fake: that she was real. Finnick had already started walking through the door, but neither of the girls heard us and we stopped as soon as we heard the conversation that they were having.
"Sometimes, I think the only reason Finnick is around me is because he feels sorry for me. You know, that since because he has always been there, that I almost expect him to be there with me in the end. A lot of girls think he stays with me because I would let him have sex with me, and that he just uses me to please me. Finnick has never touched me like that before and in a way: I'm almost dissapointed in that. I mean sometimes I feel like shouting at him, to go and find someone normal! A normal sane girl someone who can give him everything he wants. Not just me the weird insane girl."
"Annie, that's not true. I have only known you since, well last week, and well I would say yes Finnick feels like he has to stay by your side, but not because he feels sorry for you, but that he is drawn to you and he feels like he shouldn't. I read this book once and this man had asked this girl to marry, basically slagged her off and her family everything about her. He said that he felt this connection to her. Then he wised up his act and started to treat her like an actually human and they feel in love. Finnick feels this connection to you. He looks at you like you are the worldest brightest star, but he also wants to wrap you up in bubble wrap. You need to show him you aren't confused and that you know that you want him just as much as he wants you."
"Katniss, when did you get so good at giving people advice?"
"I think Peeta is having some sort of affect on me. He just... he's too good for me and I know that it wouldn't work, but I want to be greedy. I need him Annie, just the same as you need Finnick."
The two girls just sat there and watched the water in the pool move due to the filter being turned on. The bell sounded above them and the girls turned around, but the boys were able to move behind the door, and looked like they had just walked in on the girl. Peeta knew to keep his mouth shut because he was the worse person for telling lies.
"There you girls are. We have been looking everwhere for you. Johanna had to tell us where you where, but we should have guessed that you would be near the pool. They should have made you a mermaid because ..."
Annie had practically jumped Finnick and was now kissing the mouth of him. Finnick reached out trying to steady himself on a wall, but there was nothing behind him but the pool, which they ended up falling in. They looked like they were falling in, in slow motion, as Peeta and Katniss tried to catch them before they fell in but they were to far gone for them to be caught. Even when they were in the water, they were still sucking the mouth of one another.
"Annie, when I said tell him how you felt I didn't mean you jumped him the first time you saw him."
It was lunch before we were all back together again. Katniss hadn't been any of my classes today, thankfully the last three classes I was with her: Biology, History and English. Peeta watched as she lifted out the lunch he had made her this morning and waited for her to retrieve the note her had written for her this morning:
I'm thinking of you and wanted to tell you that I love you. Peeta
He knew exactly when she had read the note as she blushed bright red at the note and was trying her hardest to hide her rosy cheeks. Everyone else was worried about other things. Annie and Finnick were holding each other hand and were completely engrossed in one another. What's new there? Johanna is gossiping away to Madge. Cato and Clove are making death glares at one another. And Marvel was looking out for Fiona the sneaky Fox. I watched as Katniss made eye contact with me and I titled my head back out to the courtyard, where no one else was standing. We quietly left the table not being noticed by anyone. As soon as we reached the door, and it finally closed behind us she turned around and faced me.
"You were in the pool when Annie was telling me about Finnick, don't even think about lying to me."
"I wouldn't lie to you, and yes me and Finnick walked in when you were talking to Annie about Finnick. That was very kind of you to help Annie when she needed someone to talk to. I think Finnick wants you to stay if you are giving Annie wonderful advice as he calls it."
"I didn't tell her to snog the face of him. I said for her to tell him her feelings."
"I think Finnick knows what she is feeling for him now. I heard everything else you said to her as well, about me."
"Peeta...please not now?"
"Katniss...I can't believe you would think those things: why would you? I love you and I'm not going to change my mind. Not now, not ever. I will always be here for you even if you don't want me."
"Peeta, you are going to want to go to college. I don't want to go to college, I will proably spend the rest of my life here, either working in a restaurant or working in a supermarket, but you will have more to life. You need someone who is like you, someone like minded. I will just hold you back."
"Katniss, I don't care if you don't want to go to college. You could fail all your exams or pass all your exams and I would still love you. You could work wherever you want, but I know that you are better than that. You could be anything you want to be! What happened to when you wanted to be a writer. You would be the most amazing writer, I can see it now."
"Peeta, everyone has dreams, but that's all they ever will be. This isn't going to happen. How many kids do we know said that one day that they were going to be the President, and how many of them are going to be President: none. We all have dreams and most of us are never going to be able to live those dreams."
"You are my dream. I have you, or is this not really happening. I always said I would own my own bakery and that's what I still want to do. I'm sure there was sometime that I wanted to be the President as well but we all know that it would never happen. But we all have real dreams: like being a writer or owning your own bakery. Finnick wants to be a professionally swimmer, do you know how many people have told him that will never happen: too many to count and even his parents told him that he would never do it. He was shortlisted for the Nationals and is going for a trial in a month. He worked hard for it, and he is going to live his dream. I want to live my dream and you are going to live your dream."
"Peeta..."
"Shh... let's just live for now. We will come to those when the time comes."
Peeta leans forwards and gently press his lips against Katniss's. He tries to deepen the kiss and Katniss allows him as she plays with his hair. Running her fingers through the curly ends. They both jump apart at the sound of the bell singalling the end of lunch and the start of a new part in their lives.
Well fokes, what did you think of this update, I would love to hear what your opinions of the story and even this update! I live of reviews and to be honest I haven't really been living with the amount of reviews I have been getting for this story!
I probably should said this before: but I believe that this song by Maroon 5 would be a good one to listen to when reading this update! It could be taken by either Finnick or Peeta (MAINLY PEETA)
Beauty queen of only eighteen I drove for miles and miles I don't mind spending everyday Tap on my window knock on my door It's not always rainbows and butterflies I don't mind spending everyday I know where you hide Tap on my window knock on my door I don't mind spending everyday Yeah Try so hard to say goodbye
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
I want to make you feel beautiful
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW I DON'T OWN THIS SONG!
