remember I don't own the Hunger Games! So Collins don't sue!
It's Peeta. "Oh hey Peeta!" I say.
"Hey Katniss! Do you mind if I sit here?" He says.
"Sure it is, right guys?."
"Sure!" says Annie.
"It would be fun to get another guy in this group," Say Cato.
"Your always welcome to sit here," says Finnick.
"Thanks," says Peeta.
"No problem bro," says Finnick.
Peeta takes the seat next to me and I can feel Gale tense up beside me. So I quickly change the subject. "So guys this is Peeta," I say.
"It's very nice to meet you Peeta!" says Annie.
"Nice to meet you too. Annie is it?" Peeta says.
"Yeah," says Annie.
"Hi! I'm Clove!."
"I'm Madge."
"Finnick O'dair,at your service sir!"
"Cato."
"Johanna."
Gale doesn't say anything. "Uhh. Peeta this is Gale," I say. "Say hi," I hiss under my breath.
"Hi," Gale says stiffly.
"It's nice to meet you Gale," says Peeta with an out stretched hand and I hear a crack. Peeta pulls away his hand and rubs his hand. I nudge Gale in the ribs. We're not dating but he sure acts like it. Plus I would never date Gale, he's like a brother to me. I turn to Peeta.
'Are you okay? Does it hurt?" I ask.
"No no no! I'm fine don't worry," he says.
'Peeta it's turning purple! Come on we're going to the nurse." I grab him by his shirt collar and drag him to the nurses office.
"Hi what can I help you with," says the nurse.
"I need some ice for my hand," says Peeta.
"Okay take a seat I'll me right back."
She walks off to another room. "So," I say.
"So,"replies Peeta.
"Lets get to know each other," I say.
'Okay. What's your favorite color?"
"Green like the forest. How about you?"
"Mute orange, like sunset."
"Ooh that's pretty."
"Yeah," says Peeta.
"Do you have any siblings," I ask.
"Yeah two brothers. Both of them are older than me. What about you?"
"I have one sister her name is Primrose, but everyone calls her Prim."
"Cool. Is it okay if I can have your number?"
"Yeah sure. Do you have a piece of paper?"
"No. How about you give it to me outsde?" asks Peeta.
"ok," I say.
"Give me it then."
"Okay! Sounds good to me!" Just then the nurse walk in. Yeesh her wig is lop sided.
"Here you go," she says with her high-pitched accented voice.
"Thank you," says Peeta. As we walked out I offered Peeta to come get his hand checked at my Mom's Clinic. He agreed. When we got to our lockers which were side by side you can guess who was leaning against it.
It's Gale. He walks up to Peeta and grabs him by his shirt. "If I see you talking are sitting with Katniss again, I will kill you!" shouts Gale. He punches Peeta square in the jaw. My hearts beating fast. I punch gale right in the stomach and push him to the ground. I sit on top of him and start slapping him.
"If you Talk or touch me or Peeta again I will promise ill put you some where where not wven the crows can lad there droppings on ou=yuo!" Everyone has gathered around us. I get off him and kick right on the area. He winces, gets up and runs. I take a look at Peeta. His jaw is turning purple. The bell rings for the end of the day, (They have a half day) I take Peeta's hand and get my things out of my locker, then we go to Peeta's locker and he gets his stuff. When Peeta gets his stuff we head to the door. "Hey Peeta, you still coming with me to my mom's clinic?"
"Yeah."
"Okay but I have to pick up my sister and drop her off at home first. Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah totally fine! I'd love to meet your sister!" We walk hand in hand to my car. When we get there I sit in the driver seat and Peeta right next to me. It's about a 15 minute ride to Prim's school. I start the car and start driving. I turn on the radio and one of my favorite songs is on so I start sing to it
You said you loved me way too soon,
Gave me the sun, when all I wanted was the moon,
Never out your sight, holding my hand just a little too tight,
Sipping on your beer can, waiting for an answer,
I wish we could slow down, you want to go faster
You said you loved my way too soon,
You've known me 24 days so how can that be true?
You don't know my mind then again nor do I,
Cause you made me smile… a lot
Oh whoops I think I miss you too late, cause I got rid of you,
Think I might got this wrong, sorry but I didn't know you were the one,
Oh no, I got so scared, convinced myself that I didn't really care,
Now I know that you're the one, sorry that I've been so dumb,
Dumb, dumb, d-d-dumb, dumb [3x]
Sorry that I've been so dumb
I miss you calling late at night, waking me up just to see if I'm alright,
Missing all the PDAs, even when you know that it's not the time or place,
Swallowing my pride now, waiting for an answer, promise you the next time I'll try a little harder,
Now I know where I went wrong, do you ever really know what you got until its gone,
I'll stay by your side through the rain and shine,
Cause you made me smile… a lot
Oh whoops I think I miss you too late, cause I got rid of you,
Think I might got this wrong, sorry but I didn't know you were the one,
Oh no, I got so scared, convinced myself that I didn't really care,
Now I know that you're the one, sorry that I've been so dumb,
Dumb, dumb, d-d-dumb, dumb [3x]
Sorry that I've been so dumb
I don't care I'll wait all year not gonna move from your front door,
Just calm down, hear me out, starting from now I'll never let you down,
I'll stay by your side through the rain and shine,
Because you made me smile… a lot
Oh whoops I think I miss you too late, cause I got rid of you,
Think I might got this wrong, sorry but I didn't know you were the one,
Oh no, I got so scared, convinced myself that I didn't really care,
Now I know that you're the one, sorry that I've been so dumb,
Dumb, dumb, d-d-dumb, dumb [3x]
Sorry that I've been so dumb
Dumb, dumb, d-d-dumb, dumb [3x]
Sorry that I've been so dumb
Dumb, dumb, d-d-dumb, dumb [3x]
Sorry that I've been so dumb
"Woah. You're really good," says Peeta.
"Thank you," I say. the rest of the ride is quiet. Once we arrive at Prim's school I spot Prim. I shout her name through the open window. She comes running towards the car. She gets in the back, and as soon as Prim sits down she starts asking questions.
"What's your name?" asks Prim.
"Peeta. And you must be Prim! Katniss has told me about you," says Peeta.
"Why are you here? Are you Katniss's boyfriend?"
"Prim! That's enough! I'm dropping you off at home because I need Mom to check Peeta."
"Okay," she says with a smirk on her face. We arrive at my house and drop Prim off. I tell her to be good. I drive off to my mom's clinic. The radio is still on and another song is on I start singing along not caring if Peeta hears me.
I need your love I need your time
When everything's wrong You make it right
I feel so high I come alive I need to be free with you tonight I need your love
I need your love
I take a deep breath every time I pass your door I know you're there but I can't see you anymore
And that's the reason You're in the dark I've been a stranger ever since we fell apart
I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same?
Hold me in your arms again
I need your love I need your time
When everything's wrong You make it right
I feel so high I come alive I need to be free with you tonight I need your love
I need your love
Now I'm dreaming, will ever find you now?
I walk in circles but I'll never figure out
What I mean to you, do I belong I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same Hold me in your arms again
I need your love I need your time
When everything's wrong You make it right
I feel so high I come alive I need to be free with you tonight I need your love
I need your love
All the years All the times You have never been to blame And now my eyes are open
And now my heart is closing
And all the tears All the lies All the waste
I've been trying to make it change And now my eyes are open
I need your love I need your time When everything's wrong You make it right
I feel so high I come alive I need to be free
"You know you should really become a singer some day," says Peeta.
I chuckle "Thanks." We arrive at the clinic. I park the car and get out shut the door and lock it. Peeta and I walk hand I hand to the entrance. When we get in I ask the lady there were my mom is and she directs me to the doctors lounge. I walk in and see my mom. "Mom this is Peeta. Gale hurt him and I was wondering if you could check him?"
"Oh sure right this way Peeta!" She leads us to one of the patient rooms. He sits on the bed and I take a seat on the chair netx to the bed. "Now where did he hit you?"
"He punched my jaw, and twisted my pinkie," says Peeta. She take Peeta's hand and take a look at his pinkie, then at his jaw.
"Your pinkie is fractured an your jaw is bruised badly. I'll be right back with a cast for your pinkie, and you will be able to choose a color." With that she leave to go get a cast. Peeta and I sit there in silence. A few minutes later my mom comes back with a cast in hand. " Which color would you like sweetie white or bright orange?" I only have to think once to know what color he wants.
"Bright orange!"
"Alright then." She wraps the cast on his pinkie down to hi middle fore arm. " Would you like some markers to?"
"Yes please!" She gives him the markers and leaves the room.
"Let's take you home Peeta. But first let me sign that cast!" I sign his cast and we walk to the car. He directs me the way to his house. When we get to his house he gets out of the car closes the door and comes to my window.
"Bye Katniss," he says when he kisses me lightly on the lips. I quickly pull away from him and drive as fast as a can back home.
A/N: Peeta and Katniss are going to get to know each other while the nurse gets some ice for Peeta.
Toodles!
