Chapter 2

Well this is the second chapter of this shindig and I saw that I had 81 views which is amazing but I still need reviews. It keeps me motivated to continue writing and I do read and reply to everyone who does review. So anyway on to chapter 2.

Chapter 2

I stumbled as Prim dragged me across the park. "Come on." She yelled and started running ahead of me.

She was an energetic girl that was for sure. The moment I told her yes she started pulling me with a strength that I was surprised she had.

"Where are you taking me?"

She suddenly stopped and turned to me with a huge grin on her face. "Were all the cool stuff are, silly."

"But aren't you supposed to stay away from me? I'm supposed to be trouble."

"I don't think you're trouble." She still had the same smile she had on her face when I met her a few minutes ago. She remembered we stopped and started running again.

"Hurry up!"

We reached the sidewalk and continued at a normal speed. I didn't know why I was acting like this, playing with a twelve year old that I just met, but it was impossible not to like her. If Gale saw me now he would laugh and tell me I was going soft but he would be the one to talk, he's a whole different person when he's with his younger sister, Posy.

Gale was my best and only friend. We were with each other when our dads died in a car accident when they were coming home from a boating trip. We had been friends since the first day of school when he hit a boy that stuck a piece of gum in my hair. I smiled at the thought of when I made my first friend.

"So how old are you?" Prim asked.

"Sixteen."

"Oh, my brother, Peeta, is sixteen too and I also have another brother who's eighteen. His name is Rye."

"Sorry did you say Peter?"

"No Peeta. P-E-E-T-A." She laughed, "If he heard you say his name was Peeta he would get mad. Well not mad because Peeta never gets mad but he would get annoyed." Her eyes gleamed as she got an idea and I instantly became weary of what she would say. "Do you want to meet him? He's super nice and would love to meet you."

I looked at her pleading eyes, contemplating if it was a good idea. To be honest I couldn't care less about this Peeta guy but the look Prim was giving me was enough to make my heart melt. "Okay." I told her quietly.

She grinned and pulled me along until we stopped at an area with lots of shops. I noticed one in particular that said Mellark's Bakery in large cursive writing. Prim pulled me towards the bakery.

"Is that your family's bakery?"

She nodded. "Yup and Peeta's working today. I'm not old enough to work in the back or get paid so I help out in the front and some days my dad lets me work the cash register." She said as we entered the store.

"Welcome to Mellar-" A boy with curly blonde hair and blue eyes brighter than Prim's said. He quickly recovered and looked at Prim. "Hey Primmy. Who's that?"

"This is my friend, Katniss," she said, walking towards the counter and I followed her like a lost puppy. "I wanted to show her around town but then I said she should meet you."

He looked at me and smiled. "Hello Katniss."

"Hi."

He continued staring at me and didn't stop until I shifted uncomfortably, he then seemed to have snapped out of his haze. "I'm sorry, did you want anything?"

"I'm not really sure what's good here. I mean they all look great." I added quickly.

"You could try the cheese buns." He said with a hint of nervousness, "Everyone loves those and it would be a great one to start with."

I was about to open my mouth when a boy similar looking to Peeta walked through the door behind the counter. He could be Peeta's twin except he was slightly taller with darker hair and his eyes weren't as blue. "What makes you want to think she would love you buns, little Peety?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me suggesting he wasn't talking about cheese buns. "Because I've heard from feedback that my buns are much better."

"Rye, you're scaring away the customer." From his tone, I gathered that this was a daily banter.

"Well if she's here with dear Primrose, I doubt she's going to leave."

"You're just jealous that everyone loves my cheese buns better than your raisin cookies."

Prim leaned into me and lowered her voice so they wouldn't hear. "They could go on for hours anyone that comes here knows that it's all playful but when the some new people come and visit they get freaked out cause sometimes they look like they're about to get physical."

I nodded in understanding but to be honest I just really wanted to go home and two boys arguing about whose baking is better was not going to help me get there.

"Boys!" Prim yelled. The customers sitting down didn't even bat an eye but Peeta and Rye stopped. "Just give Katniss something to eat."

It looked like they just remembered I was there and Peeta blushed while Rye smirked and went back through the doors he came from. "Sorry." He said sheepishly, "It's just the usual thing we do. Anyways would you like the cheese buns?"

I nodded and sat down on a chair in front of the counter while he gave me a cheese bun. I slowly ate it and moaned at the taste then I realised who was standing in front of me and blushed. "Sorry" I said, "It tastes amazing, did you make it?"

He nodded obviously proud Yeah, "Everyone loves it when I bake it so my dad leaves it to me to make."

"That's great." I pull out my phone to check the time and almost scream when I see it's 6:15. "Crap!" I start getting out of my chair muttering to myself then I suddenly remember that I have to pay for the bun "Um, here take this fifty and if I see you again you can give me the change. Bye Prim"

She waves goodbye to me and I practically sprint to my death. Hopefully Effie isn't too mad.

Liked it? Didn't like? Review and tell me what you thought.
