(Katniss POV)
It has now been two weeks since I began going to Panem Prep and it's been great! Today in Science class, we were all assigned partners for long term projects that continue throughout the year. Thankfully I was partnered up with Peeta. We have been hanging out at school and all, but this will give us the chance to hangout outside of school. I take a quick glance at the clock and see that I have 45 seconds until Algebra, one of the most boring classes ever, is over. Three..Two..One.. Ring! That's the bell signaling for my lunch period to begin. Before arriving at the cafeteria, I quickly grab some books from my locker for the next few classes and stuff them in my bag. Once through the doors of the cafeteria, Peeta waves me over to the table where Annie, Finn, and he are all sitting. After paying for my lunch, which consists of a salad and fries, I make my way over to their table and take a seat. Annie and Finn start to talk about swimming so I take the opportunity to ask Peeta about meeting after school to work on a science project.
"So, Peeta, about our science project," I begin suddenly at a loss for words staring into his bright blue orbs.
He notices this and finishes for me by saying, "Why don't you come over to my house after school? How's around 4:15 sound,"
"Ok, that sounds great," I reply and he smiles warmly at me. Ugh, why does he have to be so perfect? Whenever he smiles, why do I get butterflies in my stomach? Why am I always at a loss for words when staring into his crystal blue eyes? Maybe I like him a lot more than I think. Maybe I should stop having conversations with myself like this.
I snap back into reality and shift my gaze back to Finn explaining in great detail his last swim race that she couldn't watch because she was taking care of her, at the time, sick mother. After lunch ends, the rest of the day passed by quicker than I thought and before I know it the bus is stopping and opening its doors for the passengers to exit. Prim is already at the bus stop waiting for me when I get there. Together, we walk to our house and talk about our day. When we arrive home I change into some skinny jeans, a red t-shirt, and a pair of black Vans. I untwist my braid, brush my hair, and then braid it again before heading downstairs. Prim asks where I was going, and after I tell her she gets super excited and tells me to 'have fun' while preforming a wacky eyebrow dance.
I step out and into the crisp autumn air and start off towards Peeta's house. As I get closer to his home I get kind of nervous. Before I know it I'm on their doorstep and knocking on the door. Growing tense and stiffer by the second, I fight the feeling telling me turn run away. However, when I hear Peeta's voice telling his brothers that he'll get the door followed by loud footsteps I'm frozen, and my nerves escalate. Unable to move, I just stand there motionless and watch as their rusty, old doorknob slightly turns to the left and cracks open with who I presume will be Peeta, the boy with the bread, standing behind it.
YES, I KNOW IT'S A SHORT CHAPTER, BUT I JUST NEEDED IT TO MOVE ALONG AND GET TO THIS POINT. I HOPE YOU LIKED IT! PLEASE REVIEW AND COMMENT YOUR THOUGHTS! I'D APPRECIATE IT. THANKS! ILYA XXXX
