Katniss´s POV
Finally school`s over. I needed to deal with Madge, Johanna ,and Annie teasing me that they think Peeta is the one that is writing me the letter. I don`t think that could be possible. I make my way to my locker and check my clock. I`ll be late for Prim. I put my books on my school bag and close my locker as fast as I can, I start to run but I didn`t saw were I was going to so I crash with some one and felt down on top of him. I open my eyes and they were staring at some blue ones. Peeta. Our lips close enough to touch. We both blush.
"Sorry," I mutter and stand up.
"It`s alright," He starts
"I didn`t saw were I was going," I tell him awkwardly
"It`s fine," He says trying to make eye contact "really, I`m okay, you`re okay. So we are fine."
"Yes," I smile sheepishly "well, I forgot some books down stairs and I`m late so I gotta go." I start walking but then he says.
"Need some help?" His beautiful eyes full of hope. Stop Katniss. A part of me was telling me to say no, and another wants that he comes. I nod. He gives me a nice smile. He looks cute when- Enough! You should`t be thinking in boys. Besides he`s in a relationship with Delly. And why do I need to remind myself that? Anyway.
We start to make our way to the stairs and he says.
"So. For what you`re late?" He asks
"Oh. You`ll see, " I start "I have a little 12 year old sister and I need to take her from school."
"What`s her name?" He meets my eyes. I start to loose myself in his blue ones and step wrong in a step and twist my ankle. I shout to the top of my logs and roll down the stairs.
"Katniss!" He shouts worried
I close my eyes to avoid the tears.
"Are you alright?" He says and reaches to me.
"I-I-" A tear skips my eye and rolls down my check. I look at my foot and his face changes to a knowingly look. "I think, it`s broken." I try to talk but is a whisper, the pain is too much. I try to move but instead let out a gasp.
"Don`t move," He orders "You can barely move so you won`t be able to walk, I would need to take you to a hospital."
"I can do this mysel-" I start whispering again but he interrupts.
"No Katniss, you`ll hurt more. I`ll take you to the hospital," He says worried and at the same time softly.
"Alright," I whisper
He carries me. His arms look really strong and- What the hell is happening to me today?! Thanks to the odds that there`s no one in school because it`ll be really embarrassing that some one finds us. I rest my head on his chest, It`s warm and strong and...
I wake up by the sound of a beep. I look around and see that I`m in a hospital room. My foot has white plaster. I find Peeta sitting in a chair next to my bed playing with his phone.
"Peeta?" My voice is still a whisper
"Hey," He says and gives me a smile. I try to return it but my foot still hurts too much. "How`s your foot?"
"It hurts," I start but then I realize that I don`t remember when I get here "Where we are?"
"We`re in a hospital, your mother works here," Oh yes. My mother works here.
"How did I get here?" I ask
"Well. When I carried you," He looks at his lap "you felt asleep." I blush. This is so embarrassing. I didn`t meant to-
"Oh you`re awake!" My mother squeals with Prim on her side. I give them a fake smile.
"How`s your foot?" Prim says as I give her a hug.
"It`s fine, it`s just that it hurts really bad," I complain.
"Don`t worry," My mother says and takes out something of a little box "drink this. It would help you."
I take it and see that is a little pill. I take a bottle of water put it in my mouth and drink it.
"Well I need to leave Prim on Rue`s" Rue is Prim`s best friend. I guess mother would leave her there because she can`t take care of her. Peeta and I wave them a good bye and the room is fulled by an awkward silence.
"Thanks for caring me here," I say. Now my voice is a little louder.
"No problem," He says "whenever you need it." We laugh
"Thanks, that`s so sweet," What?! Since when Katniss Everdeen says the word sweet. Besides I`m not the type of girl that gives compliments.
He gives me that smile. I never get tired of it.
The door slams open and I found Madge, Johanna, Annie, Finnick, and Gale. What Finnick and Gale are doing here? I mean they are nice guys but we`ve never been close friends.
"Katniss Everdeen!" Johanna shouts "what in hell were you thinking?!"
"Do you think I did it on propose?!" I shout back
"Are you alright?!" Madge asks panicked and starts to examine me.
"I`m fine, except for my foot," I answer her
"But how did it happened this?!" Annie says worried
"Yes, how Kitty?" Finnick interrupts
We all glare at him.
"Sorry. I was just worried," He says and puts his hands up.
I roll my eyes.
"Girls, we`re going for some food to the cafeteria, Peeta is hungry," Gale says
"No I`m not," Peeta says confused
"Yes. You are," Finnick glares at him.
"We`ll come in a few," Gale says and the three go outside. Annie, Jo and Madge turn to me ginning like crazies.
"What?" I asked confused
"Oh-my-gosh Katniss! That was the cutest thing ever!" Madge squeals
"Yes! Why you didn`t call us so we can come?" Johanna complains
"What? But I how did you knew I was here?" I tell them
"Peeta called us," Annie starts "he called us from your phone. He told us to come and told us everything. We decide to call Finnick and Gale."
"He took my phone?!" I ask angrily
"That`s not the point!" The three shouted in unison
Peeta`s POV
We make our way out of Katniss`s hospital room. I still think in how she looked when she woke up. She just looked confused. And when she felt asleep in my chest, she looked so beautiful and peaceful. We get to the cafeteria and sit in a table.
"Why did you both come?" I asked confused
"Annie called us," Gale says
"You know, she was a better friend than you Peeta," Finnick defends
"And why am I not a good friend?" I reply
"Because you would told us what happened with Katniss," He says. How do they know what happened. Sure, Annie told them "and I don`t mean today my friend. I mean too the other day." Oh no. This is bad. Annie knows what happened in the lockers with Katniss. So if Annie knows Madge and Johanna need to know too because they are best friends. Now Gale and Finnick hate me.
"We don`t hate you Peety," Gale says as if reading my mind "we`re just a little mad because you didn`t trust us." I sigh in relief.
"Besides," Finnick starts "this is an opportunity to hang out with the ladies. And I think that I`ll ask out Annie. I was really surprised that she had the trust to call me. And you my young padawans, would you ask `em out?"
"Maybe. I don`t know how to ask Madge out," Gale answers
"You can come and consult your master," Finnick jokes "what about you Peeta?"
I sigh. "I don`t think it`ll be a good idea. You know I`m in a relationship with Delly and that would be cheating. I don`t want Katniss to think I`m that type of boys. Besides if I ask her now out and someone sees us Delly could know and cut me, and you both now how my mother would get," I explain
They both nod.
We stay there with an awkward silence.
"I think we should go," Gale says braking the ice. "When you`ll do your move?" He asks to Finnick
"When we`re alone," Finnick says
"Good luck Romeo," I tease
"Hey hey hey. That`s my thing. You find yours," Finncick defends and I laugh.
Katniss`s POV
I finished to explain the girls the accident that happened.
"He was really sweet," Annie says
The door slams open. They are the boys.
"Hey how are you my girls," Finnicks says
"You call me your girl-" Johanna starts with a death glare shut to him.
"Okay get it, don`t need to finish it," Finnick tells her
We all laugh.
"Annie," Finnck says
"Yes?" She says recovering from the laughter.
"Can I talk to you outside?" He asks gently.
"Sure," She answers. Madge starts to giggle. Johanna and I shot her a knowingly look. Gale starts to talk with Madge and they start to laugh. They would make a cute couple.
"I`m going to the Starbucks for a coffee," Johanna says. She takes her keys and makes her way out of the room. I was left there with Peeta and we were there awkwardly.
"Have a doctor come?" He asks
"Not jet," I say. But then the door slams open and a man that should be in his 40`s with a hospital coat comes in and says.
"Katniss Everdeen?" He asks
"Yes," I answer
"I would need to ask all of your friends to go out," He says
Peeta stand of his chair comes over me and says.
"It`ll be okay," He gives me a kiss on the foarhead that makes my head spin around.
Madge and Gale exit the room hand with hand.
He looks at my foot and after checking his board he says.
"Well, it wasn`t severe the damage, you would just need to drink this pills everyday for a week,and you`ll have the plaster for two three weeks. You can leave the hospital tomorrow,"
I sigh. "Thanks,"
"How much have you been dating with this blondie?" He asks
I blush. "Oh. He`s not my boyfriend," I answer still red. "He`s just my friend."
"Oh, I see. Sorry for the confusion," He says
"It`s fine," I answer shyly.
"We`ll I need to go. Take care sweetheart," He and leaves the room leaving me with many doubts. Do Peeta and I really look like a couple?
We hoped you liked this chapter :)
