- Peeta comes back outside whilst Prim finishes painting -

"Wow Prim! I must say as a painter myself, those are beautiful hearts you've painted"

"Well I couldn't have done them without you! Thanks Peeta!"

"No problem come here anytime you want to paint, the bakery could use your good art skills"

"Thanks" She says whilst going red.

- Katniss walks to the bakery -

"Primrose Everdeen! How dare you slag off your chores!" Katniss screams but Prim doesn't hear her because she is too busy laughing with Peeta. "Excuse me what the heck do you think you're doing"

"Oh, hey Katniss! What do you mean? What am I doing wrong?"

"I wasn't speaking to you, but I can say you're twenty minutes late for tea and mom made you're favourite because you've been working so hard lately!"

"Well I am really sorry" –

"Go on, go home, I will finish giving out the medicine"

- Katniss shoves Prim ahead, then gives Peeta a dirty look as she walks away -

"Hey Prim you forgot your cookie" Peeta shouts down the road

"Oh thanks" says Prim as she takes it with tears rolling down her face because Katniss told her off,

"Don't cry little miss Primrose Everdeen - Katniss! It's my fault I stopped Prim in her tracks!"

- Katniss turns round and sees the cookie with hearts all over -

"What's that then?" Katniss asks curiously

"A cookie Peeta helped me decorate" Prim answers shyly

"I'll be back"

"No Katniss wait, that's my cookie, what are you going to do?"

- Katniss walked up to Peeta with the cookie and didn't answer Prim back -

"What on earth do you think you are doing!"

"What do you mean Katniss?"

"Has everybody gone stupid today? Do you really think you're clever?"

"What have I done!"

"Hitting on my sister, I saw you laughing together and the cookie with hearts all over…"

"Prim painted the hearts and why would I hit on her I love some other girl … and anyway she is nine and I am fourteen! I mean come on Katniss who do you think I am?"

"I don't know" She answers feeling frustrated

- She chucks the cookie on the floor and stomps on it, until all that's left is crumbs -

"Prim decorated that and she is going to get upset when she finds out you crushed it"

"So" Katniss snaps back

"She was really proud when she finished it …"

"Well what can I do know it's crushed?"

"How about I make another two and drop them in tomorrow morning so you can both have something to eat during school"

"I couldn't take two cookies from you for free" She answers

"Don't worry about it"

"Okay then" She replies quietly

"What do you want me to paint on your cookie?"

"I don't really know!"

"How about hearts like Prim had on hers?"

"Okay then" She says as she walks away, but suddenly turns back "Hey Peeta!"

"Yes Katniss"

"You said you loved some other girl, if you don't mind me asking …" –

"Yes, carry on" He says jokingly

"Who is that girl?"

"Why do you want to know?" He says in the same tone, "Do you think its you by any stretch of the imagination?"

"Um well is it? … I am just wondering…"

"Isn't it time you got home?" He asks

"Oi I am the same age as you and I can go home when I want. So are you going to tell me or not?"

"You will find out in due time … remember curiosity killed the cat" –

"But not buttercup" Katniss added whilst laughing. She starts shivering.

"Go on you, you better get back, its getting dark and late now. You don't want Haymitch coming to get you as your walking home do you." He adds.

"Alright, I can tell when I'm not wanted" They both start laughing "And anyway I don't want to worry you!"

"Worry me, please, I'm not worried. Your making me sound like a sissy, like I really care about you"

"You do really care, because you offered me a cookie with hearts on it"

"Whatever Katniss" They laugh together

- A shout comes from upstairs to shut up the bakery -

"Well Katniss Id better be going then"

She runs over and hugs him

"What was that for?"

"I don't know … it just happened"

Peeta kisses Katniss on the forehead

"What was that for?" She asks shyly

"I don't know" He replies "… it just happened…"

Katniss walked away with a beaming face, thinking about the day but Peeta knows that he never wants a day like that again, even if he got away with kissing Katniss …
