**New Gal: Here is a chapter in the eyes of Peeta Mellark! Enjoy and Happy Halloween :) XXXX**
Chapter2
(Peeta POV)
Buzz! My eyes flutter open. I roll over and turn off the alarm with my thumb. Shortly after the alarm is off I get up and head I'm at the bakery (next door) I throw on my apron and begin to knead a clump of dough I tossed on the kitchen counter. It's about 5:00 AM so that means I have about 2 hours to work. I sigh. Another boring day at Panem Prep awaits me in the coming hours. Don't get me wrong, I can wait to see all of my friends again, but school this year will be just like last year. There will be nothing new to spark my interest.
Wait a minute, Peeta snap out of it! What am I thinking? The year is sure to suck if I begin it with this kind of attitude. I clear my head and try to think of happy thoughts. It doesn't work so I decide to concentrate on my baking. And as I add flour, puffs of it fly into the air like white, thin clouds.
Ding! Ding! I hear the bell of the front door to the bakery opening which causes me to break away from my concentration. Quickly I shuffle out to the front of the shop and see the most beautiful girl and her little sister in awe of the cakes, cookies, and pastries (that I decorated) on the display below the counter. She is, as usual, wearing her brown hair in a long braid down her back and a neon pink camisole with black sweatpants and a hoodie. This girl, Katniss, lives about a mile or two away from here but, I remember her. Once, I heard her sing. It was back in Kindergarten when we went to school together. When I heard her voice, I swear, even the birds stopped to listen. And when The Valley Song that she sang ended, I knew I was a goner.
As I see her and a huge smile spreads across my face. "How may I help you?" I ask still smiling.
"Go ahead Prim, tell Peeta what you want" Katniss tells her sister. Is this true? Katniss just said my name. Apparently I'm not completely invisible to the girl of my dreams. It is starting out to be a great day.
"Hi, can I have a cookie please? The one with the bumble bee on it" Prim asks me.
"Sure" I say picking up the cookie and wraping it up carefully and handing it to her.
"Thanks mister! It's so pretty" she compliments. I laugh lightly, poke her on the nose, and reply, "You can just call me Peeta. Mister makes me feel too old" and I wink at her. She just giggles and begins to walk out the door with her older sister, but before they leave Katniss quickly turns around with a half- smile across her lips to say "Thanks Peeta" and then hastily exits to catch up with her sister.
Did all of that really just happen? Maybe she does acknowledge me when I'm around. She has definitely made my day. I know, anyone would probably think I'm pathetic but I don't care. The thing is, she doesn't know the effect she can have.
****HEHEHE SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS CHAPTER? WHAT DOES KATNISS THINK ABOUT WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED? DOES SHE FEEL THE SAME WAY? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, COMMENT AND REVIEW! ILYA XXXX****
