New Gal Chapter 13
**STOP! Okay, here is the deal; I want you to help me with this story. I know that you all have very creative minds so I want you to share your ideas with me for future chapters. Ideas can be the fluff with Peeta and Katniss, conflict, tragedy, humor, or whatever you think would be cool to be included in this story. Thanks! :)**
(Katniss POV)
The bell sounds and I make a beeline for the door. I elbow a few people and mutter apologies while racing to my locker. Once there, I shove my books carelessly into the small space. Activities period is finally here, so I am giddy with excitement and relieved because I get a whole 45 minutes until I am once again lectured by another teacher.
After walking through the many passageways, stairs, twists, and turns I step out onto the beautiful, grassy landscape. Almost immediately I spot Peeta sitting on the bench, his back facing me. Perfect. I sneak up behind him with soundless hunter's footsteps and cover his eyes with my hands. He panics and flails his arms for a solid minute and that's when I can no longer contain my laughs. After he realizes it's me, I remove my hands. He turns around and I double over because of the expression on his face.
"Ha, ha Katniss. That was so funny," he says clearly with sarcasm in his voice.
"Actually…. it... was," I reply between laughs.
He eyes glint with mischief and I stop laughing. "Oh, I'll give you something to laugh about," he says and before I can react and process what he's implying he is already on top of me and tickling my sides. How did he know I was ticklish? He grins as I laugh uncontrollably. My cheeks are red from all of the giggles that escape my mouth and my stomach begins to cramp, but I kind of like it. After about a minute of tickling me he reluctantly rolls over and lets me catch my breath.
"Alright, I think you've had enough," he says with a smirk.
I simply nod and take his hand in mine. He reacts immediately by lacing our fingers together. I turn my head and find his eyes staring back at me. We smile at each other and just lay there, in the rays of the sun, lying on our backs in the plush grass.
We spend the rest of our time together talking about school, and our annoying teachers. He occasionally cracks a joke or two and I can't help myself from finding them humorous. All of that waiting in these dull classrooms earlier today was definitely worth it. Right now I notice how incredibly beautiful his eyes are. They shine bright like sapphires in the sun, so full of life and love.
"Katniss?" he asks waving the hand that isn't holding mine in front of my face. Oh, shit I've been caught. My cheeks glow red and I snap my attention to the butterflies that fly above our heads. He chuckles.
"Yes?" I answer.
"I said, that I think you'll enjoy the next class we have,"
"Ooh, what is it?" I ask intrigued.
"Music, with Cinna," he says smiling knowingly.
"Yay! I completely forgot. He is my favorite teacher. And, it's my favorite class in general," I say with excitement evident in my voice.
"Katniss, your voice," he begins, "it's, it's beautiful. I swear every time you sing, the birds stop to listen," he finishes. He looks at me in awe as if he were hearing me singing at this very moment. I blush and he looks back up at the sky again.
"Thank you, Peeta. That's very sweet," I reply.
Now is the perfect chance. I lean forward and give him a kiss on the cheek. Yes, I know it's probably nothing to fuss about, but I've never been in a relationship, so I want to take things slow. However, as soon as my lips leave his cheek, his attention snaps back to me and his wears a huge smile. I return it not wanting this to ever end.
**XXXX I loved this chapter! There is lots of fluff. Oh well, Everlark fluff is acceptable. ;) Haha well, just as a reminder, 70th review gets a mention and please PM or review ideas for the coming chapters as I said at the top of this chapter. Thanks! ILYA XXXX**
