Hey everyone! I was on a 3 hour during trip, so I decide to write another chapter on my Ipad. When we were there, tadaaaa! Another chapter! Here's chapter three from peeta's dad.
After putting my hand under the tap for a couple of minutes my father takes me to the apothecary. It isn't far, it's still in the merchant-part of the city. When we knock, misses johnson opens the door. 'What happened?' she asks.
I show her my burnt hand. 'Of course, with all the hot ovens there. Florence!' Florence comes down the stairs. She looks to her mother, then she sees me. 'Desley! What happened?' 'I burnt myself.' I mumble. She didn't hear me, but she saw my hand. 'Florence, can you please get the burn medicine?'
She nods and runs to another little room. After a minute or so, she comes back to us with a small pot. Her mother opens it and takes some. Then she puts the crème on my burnt hand. The pain didn't stop, but it gets less.
Her mom gives us the pot. 'Put some on the hand tomorrow morning and evening.' My father pays for the small pot. Then there's another knock at the door. Florence goes to the door, talks a while and then comes back with Adeo.
'Desley! What happened?'
I show his my burnt hand as reply. He nods and turns to the mother of Florence. He hands her a small bag with all kind of spices. Her mom smiles and hands him some money. They talk a bit to and then he leaves.
Florence takes us to the door and waves goodbye. When were almost out of sight I turn to see the apothecary, Florence is already gone. When were almost home, my mother already runs to us.
'Oh honey, are you alright? Does it hurt?' She asks worriedly. 'No, mom, I'm fine. Really.' she gives me dinner and after that I may not work in the bakery from her, so I just read a book. I look in our bookcase. Most of our books are books with recipes. I look and find my own book, 100 recipes for a qualified baker.
I take it out the bookcase and start to read. Most are just normal breads, like brow, white, with raisins or nuts. A few I really like so I mark them. Little pink cupcakes. Chocolate cookies, cheese buns of course. The ones I like most are the old recipes, from long before Panem. There was an European country, France which makes really long breads. Little cookies, scones, from England.
This countries fascinate me, so I search for a history book. I found one really old book on the bottom bookshelf. I read about the world before Panem until my mom tells me I have to go to bed. The next morning I decide to visit Adeo before school.
I leave very early, take two breads from the shelf and walk to the seam. When I'm at Adeo's house, he is already awake. No surprise, he's always early. 'Hey, buddy, how's your hand?' After telling him it's fine I give him the breads. He hands me a squirrel for change.
He knows I love squirrels. We talk a bit and I go home. When I'm home, I give the squirrel to my mom and want to walk to my room to get my schoolbag, but she calls me back. 'You need some medicine.' And she puts some burn medicine on my hand. I already forgot that medicine.
Then I get my schoolbag and go to school. School is very boring today. When school's almost over, Telly invited me to come at her birthday party tomorrow.
I forgot. Usually I'm the one who gives a cake at birthday parties, but I always gives something extra to Telly, because she's always nice to me, because she's my neighbor. I need to get a birthday present today. I think about the painting I drew yesterday, at art class.
When the bell rings, I go to the arts room and fortunately, the teacher is still there. 'Hey, Desley, what are you doing here?' He asks me. 'May I please have my painting back? My friend Telly's birthday is tomorrow and I want to give her that as present.' He smiles and gets the painting. When he got it, he hands it to me. 'I actually wanted to hung it up on the walls somewhere, but you can have it.' I smile. 'Thanks!' I say and I run home.
When I'm home, my mother greets me, but she looks confused about the painting. Then she sees its Telly ams laughs. 'Of course! Its her birthday tomorrow. Did you draw that?' I nod. 'Well, go frost a cake for her then!' after bringing the painting upstairs, I hurry down the bakery to frost a cake.
I make it purple, then I frost some roses at the sides. On the top I make a lot of flowers and grass, like the meadow. To finish it, I make butterfly's everywhere. My father comes watch my work. He smiles at my beautiful cake and put it in the fridge, so its still good tomorrow.
My mom doesn't wants to make me work with the ovens, so I frost a few other cakes. I make a blue one, with the sea and fishes, A pink one, with pink and purple flowers and animals. A 'happy birthday' one and a yellow/red one, like fire. Then mom calls us for dinner.
She made the squirrel with potatoes. The squirrel is delicious. After dinner I help my mom with cleaning and when its bedtime I go to bed after brushing my teeth and taking a shower. When its around eleven, I fall into a peacefull sleep.
How about it? Love it? Or hate it? Well, it was fun to write anyway!
