New Gal: ANOTHER KATNISS POINT OF VEIW I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT. IT'S Chapter 4 SO ENJOY! XXXX
(Katniss POV)
As soon as Peeta sees me his eyes light up like a Christmas tree. "That's odd" I think to myself wondering why he would be so excited to see me of all people. He high-fives some of his friends and makes his way towards the back of the bus where I am sitting.
"Hey Katniss! I didn't know you went to school at Panem Prep" he says shouts rather loud from the front of the bus.
"Yeah uhh" I stammer, "..this is my um first day" I just can't think straight when I stare into his enchanting,bright blue eyes.
"Oh, that's cool. So may I " he looks hesitant for some reason but continues, "sit here..with you?"
"Yeah sure." I say and smile nervously. After a few minutes of silence he speaks up again.
"I can show you around the school and stuff. If you want" he says with a glimmer of hope in his eyes that I will say yes. I was going to politely decline, but since I don't know where anything is it could help me get know the school (and Peeta) a little better.
"That'd be great!" I say enthusiastically. At first he is in shock by my enthusiasm because I'm usually not easily excited by things, but quickly recovers with a perfect smile showcasing his pearly white teeth. Before either one of us can speak again, the bus lurches forward and my phone begins to ring. First, checking the caller ID I see that it is my mom calling me. After the fourth ring I decide to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hi sweetie" my mother says in a kind voice.
"Oh, hi mom! What's up?" I ask genuinely wanting to know.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm working another late shift at the hospital tonight, so you are going to need to watch Prim until 11:30" my mother informs me.
"Okay mom, thanks. Love you, bye" I say and then hang up. Peeta doesn't want to intrude on the conversation or anything so he keeps quiet.
We stay silent for the rest of the bus ride which I think ends rather quickly, but as soon as the bus stops moving he stands up, turns to me, and mischievously says "Follow me" with a slight grin appearing on his face.
I hesitate at first but eventually nod and follow. Since we have 45 minutes until the first bell rings, he leads me through a few secret passage ways of twists, turns, stairs, and doors until we are at the back of the school. It's a grassy courtyard with a high wooden fence bordering it. There are a few picnic tables in the far left corner so we go over there and sit. He tells me that he built these benches himself and was going to make it a new hangout spot but, decided to keep it a secret from everyone, everyone except me of course. I take in the beauty of the butterflies, dragonflies, and greenery all around us and then look over at Peeta admiring his features. I can barely refrain from drooling over his sky blue eyes, full lips, wavy blonde locks of hair, and masculine jaw. He catches me staring and I quickly avert my gaze to a few dragonflies in the far right corner trying to hide my face from his view.
"This is one of my favorite places here at Panem Prep" Peeta says still watching the some of the monarchs flutter about.
"I can see why, its beautiful back here" I reply turning to face him.
"Well, not as beautiful as you" he whispers softly, barely audible, and unaware that he is voicing his thought. I hear it though. And once he realizes what he has said, his eyes become as wide as saucers.
He looks embarrassed and starts to apologize, but I cut him off by giggling and telling him, "Its ok Peeta. Thank you" Relief floods his face and he smiles. I slightly blush as we lose ourselves in each other's eyes, not looking away until we hear, Ring! It's that sound of the bell that sucks us back into reality.
He stands up and asks, "What's your first class?"
'Umm.. its English with Ms. Trinket. What about you?" I question in return, standing up as well.
"That's my first class too! Let's go ahead and get to class and then compare our schedules" Peeta is clearly excited at the thought of us having the same classes together.
"Awesome! Let's go" I say agreeing with this idea.
He takes my hand in his and leads me back into the school hallways. Oh my gosh! Peeta is holding my hand. I bet that if anyone were to see us they would be jealous. I mean, who wouldn't be? Peeta is definitely the hottest guy in this school. I almost squeal in excitement, but instead I keep my composure. Maybe Prim was right. Maybe, just maybe he likes me.
