My eyes slowly opened and I was instant hit with a blinding light obviously I had forgotten to shut my window last night. I snuggle closer to the warm spot the sun had made on my bed. Then realized that the warmth next to me was coming from Peeta. The perfectness of last night came flooding back to me as I gently rested my head on Peeta chest. Judging from where the sun was we must have slept well past nine when I usually get up on the weekend. I lifted my hand and ran my thumb across Peeta's lips and still asleep he smiled. Then my stomach grumbled the sound seemed to echo through my body and I was sure that it would wake up Peeta. After a few seconds I slowly moved my head so I could see his face and he was still sound asleep. I needed to eat and I decided that I wasn't going to do it without him. Slowly lifting my head off his chest so not to wake him I straddle his waist and lean down and kiss him on the forehead; then working my way down his face I gently kiss his nose, then his cheeks, then kissed along his jaw. I can feel him start to move.
"Peeta," I whisper into his ear. "Peeta," I knew he is awake because there is a big goofy smile plastered on his face.
"No go away," he said keeping his eyes and stretching.
"Come on," I said starting to kiss his neck.
"Want me to make you breakfast?" he asked.
"No I'll make you breakfast," I said getting off him.
"Seriously," he said finally opening his eyes. "Good morning."
"Morning," I smiled kissing me.
"So you stay here and I will make you breakfast," I said jumping off the bed and grabbing Peeta shirt pulling it over my head.
"That's my shirt," Peeta said jumping out of bed and pulling his jeans on.
"Looks better on me," I ran my hands down his chest.
"Your right," he said putting his hands on my hips then kissing me. "Come back to bed."
"You go back to bed and I will make breakfast," I said pushing him back on to the bed.
"I think I better come with you to make sure you don't burn down the house," he said following me down stairs.
"What do you want?" I asked Peeta as I got out everything we bought last night.
"Anything," he said as I added the water to the pancake batter.
"Shake that," I said handing him the bottle as I started cracking eggs into a bowl.
"I thought you didn't cook?" he laughed as I laid bacon in a pan.
"Breakfast you really don't have to cook you just prepare it," I laughed trying to take the pancake mix off him.
"I will make these you do the other stuff," he said refusing to give it to me.
"Fine," I said concentrating on my eggs.
Within fifteen minutes we were eating I had burnt a little bit of the bacon but I think I managed to hide it from Peeta.
"I think we should go and help Bran," I felt so sorry for him last night.
"Do we have to he is a big boy?" Peeta sighed.
" He is your friend," I laughed.
"But I would much rather go back to bed," he said giving me puppy dog eyes.
"Come on we have forever for that but I would like to find Bran hanging from a tree," I laughed at the thought of a bunch or pre teens killing that hulking man.
"Fine but if he isn't dead we leave straight away," Peeta said smirking
"Deal," I laughed.
"Maybe they have killed him," Peeta and I had been standing the door for ten minutes.
"I am sure he is fine," Peeta knocked on the door again. As the door swung open and there stood the little girl that I think was Rue.
"Peeta," a huge smile spread across her face.
"How was your party?" Peeta asked stepping into the house.
"It was so good," she said hugging him.
"You should have stayed," she said looking at me. "Who are you?"
"I'm Katniss Prim's sister," I said smiling.
"Oh have you come to take her," she said pouting.
"No we just come to help your brother," Peeta said.
"He locked himself in his room last night," Rue laughed.
"Katniss!" Prim ran into the room.
"Hey Prim," I said hugging her. "Did you have a goodnight?"
"Yeah it was good, they have a pool!"
"You have a pool?" no one in twelve had a pool.
"They have a pool it is amazing," Prim said. "Rue said that people all the way from the Capital came and built it for them."
"You have a friend with a pool and you don't tell me," I said hitting Peeta's arm.
"I wanted it all to myself," he said rubbing his arms.
"I thought you were a good man," I said shaking my head.
"Can we paint your nails?" Rue said taking my hand and looking at my nails.
"Yeah sure," I said and she began pulling me out of the room.
"Can we do it by the pool," I caught a glimpse of it through the window.
"Sure," Rue sighed pulling me outside.
"This is amazing!" I jumped up and down like a kid. They really have a pool.
"I know!" someone said.
"Hey Rory," Gale's brother was lying on his back in the water.
"Hey Katniss," he waved.
"How are you?" I said kicking off my shoes.
"Good," he said swimming over to the edge. "How are you?"
"I'm good," I said rolling up my jeans and putting my feet in the water. It felt amazing if Rory wasn't there would rip my clothes off and jump in. "How is your mum?"
"She is okay I guess and before you ask Gale is angry all the time," he said kicking off the edge and floating on his back.
"I'm sorry," I didn't know what else to say.
"I don't think it is your fault," he said.
"I know but I am still sorry," I didn't want what happened between Gale and I to affect Rory or his other siblings.
"Maybe you could give him another chance," he said without looking at me.
"I can't Rory."
"Worth a try right," he laughed.
"Lets do this," Rue announced as she came outside.
"What color do you want your nails?" Prim asked taking my hand.
"Whatever you think," I was to busy enjoying the water and thinking about what Rory had just said.
"So Prim told me that you and Peeta were good friends," Rue said as she filed my nails.
"That's not what I said Rue," Prim rolled her eyes.
"Peeta is my boyfriend," I laughed.
"Are you thinking of breaking up with him anytime soon?" she asked.
I looked over at Rory just to see him take a breath and go under the water.
"Ahh," I looked at Prim to see if she was joking, she just shook her head. "No I'm not."
"Okay," she smiled and then went back to my nails.
"So where is Peeta?" I asked.
"He has gone to get Bran out of his room," Prim said.
"Katniss," Bran came out of the house with sunglasses on.
"Hey Bran how was your night?" I laughed.
"How was your night?" he said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Shut up," I said looking at Prim and Rue who were still working on my nails.
"Bran can you get Prim and I a drink," Rue said.
"Sure," Bran said smiling getting casually walking over to Rue and pushing her into the pool.
"Drink up Rue," Bran laughed.
"I really wasn't that thirsty," Prim said as Bran turned to her.
"Good girl," Bran said sitting down again.
"Bran I hate you," Rue screamed pulling herself out of the pool looking like a drowned rat.
"That's fine."
"Here Rue," Peeta said handing her a towel.
"Thanks Peeta," she said wrapping herself up in the towel.
"Who's your friend?" Peeta said pointing to Rory.
"Its Rory," Rue said like Peeta should have already known it.
"Hey Rory I'm Peeta," he said rolling up his pants and sitting next to me.
"I know who you are," Rory said kicking his legs flicking water all over Peeta.
"Rory," I said as Prim giggled.
"Sorry it was an accident," he said with the same cheeky smile that Gale had anytime he did something wrong.
"Its okay," Peeta said getting up and getting a towel.
"Peet get that," Bran said, as there was a knock at the door.
"What am I your bitch?" Peeta asked.
"Yes you are my bitch get the door," Bran laughed.
"Fuck you man," Peeta said disappearing inside.
"Language," Prim said under her breath.
"Rory it is for you," Peeta came back outside followed by Hazelle Gale's mother.
"Hey mum," Rory said jumping out of the pool.
"Hey Mrs. Hawthorne," I said jumping up.
"Oh I get it," Peeta muttered under his breath he said as everything clicked together.
"Hello Katniss," she said looking shocked.
"Tniss," Posy Gale's little sister came sprinting towards me.
"Posy," I lifted her off the ground into a hug.
"Missed you Tiss," she said pouting.
"I have missed you to little Posy," I said touching her nose causing her to giggle.
"Rory why don't you go and get your stuff," Hazelle said.
"Okay," he said looking at me and then disappearing inside.
"How are you Katniss?" Hazelle asked.
"I'm really good thank you. Ah this is Peeta," I said pointing to him.
"We met," she weakly smiled.
"Right sorry how are you?" it is really awkward having a conversation with your ex boyfriends mother.
"I'm really good thank you," she said as Rory came out with his bag.
"You got everything?" she asked him.
"Yep," Rory replied.
"Did you thank Bran and Rue for having you?" Hazelle questioned.
"Thank you for having me Bran," Rory said at Bran.
"Thank for coming and helping me with the girls," Bran held out his fist and Rory bumped it with his.
"Time to go Posy," Hazelle said and I put her on the ground.
"You come and see Posy," she said wrapping herself around my lags.
"I'll come and see you," I smiled down at her.
"K bye bye Tniss," she said going back to Hazelle.
"Bye Posy," I really never realized how much I missed her.
"Nice to see you again Katniss," Hazelle said. "Bye boys."
"Bye."
"We should go and leave Bran alone to piece himself back together," Peeta laughed.
"Can't I stay," Prim pouted.
"You'll have to ask Bran," I laughed.
"Can I stay Bran please," she pouted. "We are all going to the party tonight please. I promise we will be super quiet."
"God fine," Bran sighed.
"Thank you thank you Rue! he said I could stay," Prim screamed running inside.
"She said she would be quiet," Bran said sobbing.
"So we are still going to go," Peeta said grabbing my arm and pulling me into the house.
"My shoes," I said trying to go back.
"Forget about them if we go back he will suck us in," Peeta said reaching the front door.
"Bye Bran," I yelled.
"Oh you came!" Dana flung herself at Peeta wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Of course I came," Peeta laughed. "Have you started drinking without me?"
"Tyler and I may have had some pre drink," she laughed.
"Katniss," she squealed pulling me into a hug.
"Hey," I said hugging her back but she didn't let go.
"You look so pretty," she said finally letting go. I looked down at what I was wearing it wasn't anything special I was wearing a black shirt and grey cardigan with a maroon skirt, tights and my boots.
"Thanks," I laughed uncomfortably.
"You look amazing with make up on," she said touching my face.
"Dana!" Peeta laughed. "How about you and I go and get a drink."
"Drinks!" she squealed and ran off with Peeta following her.
The district square was covered in the warm red glow from the mountain of coals burning in the center. People had set up stalls that made a giant ring around the fire; selling headlamps, glow sticks, and different food that had all been prepared using the heat from the coals. The power is turned off in the district for the whole night making the square the only source of light. When I was little I use to imagine what it would be like being way up in the sky and looking down. Seeing the giant fire with all the people surrounding it savoring it warmth, dancing, drinking, and eating in the glow. I loved this party because my Dad loved it so much, he loved the fact that the whole district was celebrating, he loved the burning coals, he loved the headlamps and most of all he loved the dancing. There is one dance the whole district learns when they are at school and every year at the end of the celebration everyone dances. A certain song starts playing and everyone finds a partner the mayor and his wife are always in the middle and everyone forms circles around them. When the music starts everyone moves in then moves out then the male picks his partner up and spins them then you move to the left. You weave in and out of the circles moving from partner to partner, each verse of the song come with different moves and everyone moves in unison greeting their new partner with a giant smile. When I was little I had broken my leg climbing a tree and I didn't get to dance I had to sit on the side and watch. It was amazing, I had never seen anything like it hundreds and hundreds of people looking so happy doing something they loved. I just started to cry. Maybe it was because it was the first year that I had actually understood what the celebration was about why you moved around so much during the dance. If the rebellion never happened, if thirteen was never wiped out and if the districts didn't rebel it is more likely that most of the people you dance with wouldn't be there. Some would be dead, most wouldn't have even been born, life would be hard maybe even unbearable. So we celebrate because we want to remember, we light the coal because it is what runs through the veins of everyone who lives in twelve and we dance to see the faces of the people who wouldn't be here if the rebellion never happened.
"Hey what's wrong?" Peeta suddenly appeared snapping my train of thought.
"What?"
"Whats wrong?" he said taking my face into his hands and wiping away tears with this thumb. I hadn't even noticed that I had been crying.
"It was just my Dad loved this party and I always use to dance with him and then when he died I danced with Gale. Now I don't get to dance with either of them," I said resting my head on Peeta's chest.
"You get to dance with me," he laughed lifting my head. "I mean I'm not that good but now you will always have me to dance with."
I didn't know what to say I hadn't even realized that I was upset that I wasn't able to dance with Gale. It's not like you stay with your first partner for long but the first person you dance with is meant to be someone special.
"I am sure you're an amazing dancer," I said kissing him. "I would love to dance with you."
"Good because to be honest with you, you were my only option," he laughed kissing my forehead.
"Oh I am sure a million girls here would want to dance with you," I joked.
"But I wouldn't want to dance with them," he said it and I just couldn't help but laugh.
"Peet!" Before Peeta could act offended Wyatt screamed and jumped on his back.
"Get off me," Peeta laughed.
"Well I did get you one but I think Katniss can have it," Wyatt said handing me a headlamp, they made you look like a total idiot but everyone looked like an idiot.
"Thank you Wyatt," I said putting it on.
"You, you get a pink glow stick," he said throwing it at Peeta.
"And I bought you a drink to," Wyatt handed me a bottle.
"Oh thank you, why can't I have a boyfriend like you," I smiled looking at Peeta.
"Would never have worked babe I have seriously commitment issues," Wyatt laughed. "But let me introduce you to my friend. Peeta this is Katniss."
"Nice to meet you," Peeta said pulling me towards him and kissed me.
"I am a perfect matchmaker," he said as Dana and Bran joined us.
"Where is Prim?" she was meant to be with Bran.
"There," he sighed pointing to his left where Prim and Rue where running around with glow sticks.
"I love this party," Dana squealed throwing her arms around Wyatt.
"How much have you had to drink?" Wyatt said pulling her closer.
"I had," I could tell that maybe it was one to many as she counted on her fingers.
"Lets get you another one," Wyatt said playing with her hair.
"Okay," Dana giggled.
"Not again! We should really stop that," Bran said sighing.
"She does this every time she is drunk," Peeta said taking my hand.
"Shouldn't we stop her?" if this was so bad why was no one doing anything.
"Because then she gets mad at us and it is better she be mad at Wyatt than us," Bran said.
"Why?" I was so confused.
"Because she is in love with him and frankly he is a bit of an ass," Peeta laughed.
"I don't get why you're letting it happen then."
"They have been doing this for two years they have a thing," Peeta said. "I don't like it but last time I tried to stop it she threw her shoe at me."
"Katniss," Prim came sprinting over.
"Hi Peeta," Rue said taking his hand.
"Want another glow stick?" Peeta said giving Rue the pink glow stick.
"Don't I get one," Prim said pouting.
"Yeah here," Peeta said pulling out some money. "Get me a head lamp too."
"Thank you Peeta," I said when Prim didn't say anything.
"Thank you Peeta," Prim said before turning and running off.
"You need to take them tonight!" Bran said grabbing my arm.
"Please I am begging you if I hear them talk about how dreamy Peeta is I'm going to have to kill him and then cut off his face see how dreamy he is then," he fell to his knees and resting his head on my stomach.
"And if I hear them giggle on more time I will snap," he sobbed.
"I guess Rue can stay at our house tonight," I laughed.
"Fuck yes!" as soon as the words came out of my mouth he jumped up.
"Their your problem now bitches I'm getting fucked up," he said high fiving Peeta then running off.
"What just happened?"
"We just got two children," Peeta sighed.
"I still don't get it," I said resting my head on Peeta's chest.
"We should go and find our kids," he said laughing.
"Have you talked to your mum about the tour?" I asked.
"No not yet," he said stopping to look at something in one of the stalls.
"Peeta the information thing is next week and it is only like two weeks away," I didn't want to do this without him.
"I don't think she will care," he said buying us another drink.
"She will care she will say that you can't just because you want to do it so badly," he smiled.
"So you're just not going to tell her?" I asked.
"I will get dad to tell her I am in my room," he laughed sitting down close to the coals, opening his backpack and pulling out a drawing pad.
"Katniss come and watch the reenactment with us," Prim said. The celebration also included a very funny reenactment of twelve's involvement in the rebellion.
"Will you be okay here by yourself," It was a stupid question I know he was a grown man I am sure we could be apart for half an hour.
"Come with us Peeta," Rue said.
"I think I will stay here," he said smiling at her.
"Can I stay here with you?" she said sitting down next to him.
"Go and watch the reenactment it will be much more interesting," Peeta laughed.
"I want to stay here with you," she said again.
"Okay then you two have fun," I said taking Prim's hand.
"What?" Prim had been laughing to herself as we walked over to the stage set out for the reenactment.
"You know that Rue is in love with Peeta," she started laughing again.
"Peeta is very loveable," I joked.
"He is all she talks about," Prim said as we found a place to sit.
"I don't think I have anything to be worried about," I laughed.
"Oh I don't know," Prim laughed.
"She just has a crush," I hoped.
"Year and years and year and years ago," the play started.
"How was it?" Peeta asked when we got back. Wyatt and Dana had joined him too, she was sitting on his lap and I was having a hard time working out where she ended and he started. They were all over each other.
"It was good they changed it a bit," I sat next to him and Prim crawled onto my lap.
"Wow they never change it," he said looking up at the coals and then going back to his drawing.
"It was only a little bit," I said trying to see what he was drawing but he hid it from me.
"How are my peeps?" Tyler screamed out as he Bran and Rose joined us.
"We talked about you calling us Peeps," Dana stopped kissing Wyatt so just long enough to snap at Tyler.
"Who let that happen?" Rose pointed to Dana and Wyatt.
"It was Katniss," Bran said smiling.
"I didn't want to get hit by a shoe," I laughed.
"I only threw my shoe at Peeta because he was being a know it all Prick," Dana laughed.
"Language!" Rose said looking at Prim and Rue.
"Sorry," Dana said looking at Prim and winking.
"Has anyone seen Gaspar?" Bran asked.
"I saw him for like two seconds then he ran off," Tyler said.
"Bran I'm hungry," Rue said.
"Yeah," he said looking at her.
"Can I have some money?" she said with attitude.
"Nah," he said shaking his head.
"Dad said," she said stomping her foot.
"Lucky he isn't my father," Bran laughed.
"Here sweetie why don't you and Prim go and get something," I handed her some money.
"Thank you," she said taking the money and running off.
"Here," Bran said handing me some money.
"Why didn't you just give it to her?" I asked.
"Because I like to annoy her," he laughed.
"Can I see?" Peeta had been sitting quietly drawing away.
"Its not finished I didn't bring the right red but when I get home I will just layer it on top of this one and it will bring out the warmth," he said handing me his pad.
"Peeta this is amazing," he had drawn a picture of the mountain of coal that sat in the middle of the square. It was like his picture burning, the flames were jumping off the page.
"Its not finished," he laughed taking it back.
"Your amazing," I said throwing my arms around his neck.
"When I finish it you can have it," he said putting it away.
"So this is what you're doing when your sister is running around in the dark," and I knew exactly whom it was and I really didn't want to do this.
"Go away Gale," I said standing up facing him.
"I said we were okay," Prim came over to me.
"Would you just let it go," Peeta said standing up. "You lost her."
"Peeta don't," I knew that if something happened now Peeta and his friends may kill Gale.
"You come with me," I grabbed Gale's arm and pulling him away from Peeta and his friends.
"I trust my sister and you have no say in how I raise her," I started yelling straight away.
"I used to and I don't like her running around in the dark by herself," he said with his hands in his pockets.
"Well you should start getting use to the fact that you have no say in us anymore," I think this is how it would have gone if we had a normal break up.
"So Peeta gets to be in her life now," Gale laughed.
"I'm not having this conversation with you Gale," I was just so over it. "You need to just stay away from me, stay away from Peeta, stay away from Prim. I want you to turn and walk away whenever you see me, because frankly all these little fight we are having every time we see each other is killing me." I said just turning around walking away.
"You okay?" Peeta asked when I got back.
"I am so angry I'm going to hit him," I said turning on my heels.
"No no," Peeta said taking me into his arms.
"He has to ruins everything," I said resting my head on his chest.
"He ruins it because you let him," Peeta said rubbing my back.
"What?" I said pushing him away.
"You get so worked up every time you see him," Peeta said.
"He works me up," I stomped my foot.
"Just ignore him," he said rubbing my arm.
"Just turn around and walk away whenever I see him," I laughed.
"Exactly," Peeta said kissing me.
"Dance with me," the assemble music started playing for the final dance.
"Our first dance," I smiled as we got into our place.
"The first of many," he quickly moved in and kissed me then getting back into position. The music started and I moved into Peeta's arms.
We twirled and dipped moved around in the circle. Our dance ended to quickly Peeta put his hand on my hips lifted me off the ground and spun me then gently placed me back on the ground.
"See you later babe," he said winking then turning and moving on to his next partner.
"Miss Everdeen," I was greeted by Mr. Henderson he use to work with my father in the mines.
While we danced he asked about my mother and how she was coping without my father; About how work wasn't the same without him. Then Mr. Henderson put his hands on my hips and lifted me off the ground and spun me around gently placing me back in the ground. I continued to dance with Mr. Cinna who was really since he wasn't born in 12 he had to learn the dance last year. Gaspar who it turned out had been trying since mid afternoon to get into Delly's pants with no luck.
"Pleasure," Gaspar said winking at me when it was time for a new partner.
"Great," I wanted to cry when I turned around and Gale was standing there.
"Want me to turn around and walk away?" he laughed.
"Don't be an idiot," I was really working on not getting worked up. "Are you going to…." I started saying but then I decided I didn't want to know the answer.
"Am I going to what?" Gale said as we continued to dance.
"Going to continue ruining everything because the Gale I knew wouldn't do that," I said.
"Well I'm not the Gale you knew," he whispered into my ear.
"Then which Gale are you?" I asked.
"I'm the one that's going to get the girl back," he said.
"That's never going to happen," I said stopping.
"We'll see," he said smiling before moving on to his next partner.
"Mum mum mum," Prim shot up and ran to the door as soon as we heard the car pull up.
"Should I hide?" Peeta said stirring the pot of food he was preparing.
"Oh yeah and she is really going to believe that I cooked this," I said dipping my spoon into the pot and taking a spoonful.
"Well if I get in trouble I'm throwing you under the bus," he said following me to the front door.
"Mum," I threw my arms around her as she walked in the door.
"Hey Katniss," she said rubbing my back.
"How was it without me," she laughed.
"It was good," I said letting her go.
"Hello Peeta," mum said when she saw him.
"Hello Mrs. Everdeen I just came over to cook you a welcome home dinner," he said quickly.
"That's nice of you," she said hugging him.
"So mum how did you like nine?" Prim asked.
"The Train ride there was amazingly beautiful but I didn't get to see much of nine apart from the hospital," she said.
"How was the rebellion party?" she said putting her arm around Prim.
"It was good Peeta bought me a glow stick and I got to dance with Rory and Tyler Peeta friend and Mr. Madden from next door," Prim said.
"Sounds like you had fun," Mum said smiling.
"It was really good and they changed the reenactment," Prim and mum walked off into the living room.
"She didn't seem so upset that I was here," Peeta said kissing my forehead.
Mum bought Prim and I back a bottle full of different colored grain then grow in nine it had no practical use what so ever, apparently it was just meant to be pretty. She told us all about the hospital and how rebellion day celebration in nine; they just have a minute to remember the dead and then the days goes on like normal. Coming from 12 where it is such a big deal that seemed silly. We talked about the differences she noticed and about what it would be like when Peeta and I go on the tour.
"Time for bed Prim," Mum said after Prim started nodding off after dinner.
"Okay," she said standing up.
"Night," she sleepily hugged me.
"Night night," she said collapsing onto Peeta's lap.
"Come on," Peeta said picking her up.
"I can walk," she said almost falling asleep again.
"Its okay," Peeta laughed carrying her up the stairs.
"Thank you for that," Mum said when Peeta got back down stairs.
"It was nothing," he said. "I better get going too."
"Wait a minute Peeta I would like to talk to you," this wasn't going to be good.
"Okay," Peeta said sitting down next to me.
"Now I was a teenager once," she started. This wasn't going to be anything good. "And I know the pressure of dating when you are your age. Your hormones are raging and you are beginning to explore sexually," she said.
"Mum please we aren't exploring anything," I said wanting to crawl onto a ball and die.
"Katniss please let me finish," she said.
"Now when I was your age I was dating someone who I thought that I would be with for the rest of my life. We both decided that we were ready to take it to the next level, but we weren't going to fast and ruined our relationship. I know that you think you might be ready but you can only do it for the first time once," she continued with the embarrassing lecture.
"Oh god," Peeta put his face into his hand.
"What?" I said rubbing his back.
"I've heard this story before," he said almost looking sick.
"No," I knew there was something between my mother and Peeta's father but that it was just wrong.
"Yes it was your father Peeta but that is not the point I am trying to make," my mother said shaking her head.
"Can we stop talking about you having sex with my father please," Peeta said.
"I am trying to tell you that because your father and I rushed into being intimate that it ruined our relationship. Now I want to make sure that you two know the consequences if you have sex without the proper protection," I looked over at Peeta and he was bright red.
"Please make her stop," Peeta whispered resting his head in my shoulder.
"Now it isn't only getting pregnant there are diseases and getting pregnant and pregnancy," she said.
"I guess she doesn't want us to get pregnant," I laughed looking at Peeta but he just shook his head.
"I am just trying to look out for you," mum said. "A baby can ruin a lot for someone as young as you."
"Mum I will stop there because Peeta and I really considered doing something while you were away but we sat down and really talked about it and we both decided that we really weren't ready," I said. "Even when we do both decide that we are ready I promise that we are going to use ever sort of protection that there is."
"Okay," mum said.
"I just don't want you to ruin your lives," she said.
"Thanks mum," I said hugging her.
"I am so proud of both of you for making this very grown up decision," she said.
"Right gotta go," Peeta jumped up and ran out the front door faster than I had ever seen him move.
"Peeta," I called after him.
"Right bye babe," he quickly kissed me.
"Night Mrs. Everdeen," he said not looking at her then running out.
"So what time does the meeting started?" we really should have left already.
"Six we should really leave," I said checking my watch again.
"Yeah we should. Primrose come on we really need to go," she yelled up stairs. It was the information session for the district tour tonight, I was a little excited we got to find out all the little details that I have been dying to know.
"I'm not even dressed," Prim yelled.
"Come on!" I said throwing my hands up in the air. "Mum we are going to be late."
"Its okay we won't be late," Mum said trying to calm me down.
"Hurry up Prim," I yelled up the stairs.
"You yelling at me isn't making me go any faster," she yelled back.
"Mum!" I yelled stomping my foot.
"Primrose you have 1 minute to put on jeans and a shirt," Mum yelled grabbing her jacket.
"Why don't you go and start the car," she said giving me the keys.
It took Prim five minutes to put on a shirt and by that time we were defiantly going to me late. By the time we go to the school we were 20 minutes late. Slipping into the gym Principle Undersee was already in front of the crowd. Scanning the stands for an empty seat and I found Peeta with three empty seats.
"Your late," he whispered as we sat down.
"Thank you for pointing that out," I said resting my head on his shoulder. "Did we miss much?"
"Nah Mrs. Trinker, Mr. Cinna and Mr. Abernathy are the teachers that are coming with us," he whispered.
"Who is Mr. Abernathy?" I asked as Mr. Undersee explained the responsibility that all students have to up hold the standards of the school and district 12.
"He is the shop teacher," Peeta whispered. Sitting next to him was Wynn and his father who looked over at us and smiled.
"The one that is always drunk?" there was a story that the shop teacher was so drunk one day that he fell asleep and one of the 7th graders cut off two of his fingers.
"Yep should be fun," Peeta said laughing.
"As you all know the tour will begin in 12 and travel through all the districts ending with a week in the Capital," Mr. Undersee continued.
"Students will spend three days in each district, as this is a very important year for all the students taking part one of these days will be dedicated to school work. A specialized program has been set out for the students, which is outlined in the packs that you will receive tonight. The program has been designed so that the students won't be disadvantaged when it comes to final exams. Students' will be taking part in traditional activities and experiencing the culture of each district. Now I know that the first information you received said that the families would have to house students from different districts but due to the number of families not being do this; Different accommodations have been, here we will be using the old miners cottages." The miner's cottages sat just on the edge of district 12 and were where the miners lived before the rebellion. A couple of years ago the council spent a heap of money restoring them.
"Similar accommodation will be provided in the other districts. If anyone has any questions," Mr. Undersee said finishing up.
"Now if I can have all the students come up and get their information packs. I would like to remind you again that the forms need to be filled out and returned to Mr. Cinna by Monday."
"Come on," Peeta grabbed my hand and lead me to the front.
"We just left our parents alone together," I said as we joined the line.
"Please," Peeta said shaking his head.
"They are probably going to fall back on love and you will be my brother," I laughed.
"That's not funny," Peeta shook his head.
"Mr. Mellark," Mrs. Trinket said in her bubbly voice.
"and Miss. Everdeen," she said handing me a giant envelop.
"Why the hell do they need us to fill out all these forms?" I opened it flicking through them. "This one wants to know the medical history of my grandmother."
"Crap that's not good," Peeta stopped dead in his tracks.
"What?" then I saw what he was talking about my mother was standing there with Peeta's father. She was laughing and she leaned in and touched his arm, he had a giant smile on his face. I didn't want Peeta to be my brother.
"Stop them," I said hitting his arm.
"What am I meant to do about it your mother is all over my father," Peeta just stood there staring at them.
"My mother is not all over your father, he is all over her," I said getting defensive.
"Dad so wants into her pants," Wynn said coming up behind Peeta and I putting his arms around our shoulders.
"That's my mother you're talking about," I said turning around and punching him in the stomach.
"Whatever Katpee," he said walking off.
"What are you smiling for?" Peeta said looking at me.
"We have a nickname," I said grabbing his shirt and pulling him into a kiss.
"Katpee that's why you're smiling?" Peeta said giving me a look.
"I like it," I said kissing him again.
"Your weird," he said smiling.
"We should get going Katniss," my mother said coming over with Peeta's Dad.
"It was good to see you again Ava," Peeta's Dad said smiling.
"It was we should catch up," Mum said smiling.
"Okay come on," Peeta said grabbing his Dads arm pulling him away.
"Bye," Mum smiled.
"Yeah time to go mum," I said pulling her in the opposite direction.
