Wow! Thank you guys so much! Sorry if I didn't reply to your review! But, your reviews are encouragement! If you've read another one of my stories you would know this a quick update for me! Thanks guys!
We head back to our seats, and now, instead of Peeta keep looking over to us, it is Finnick. I feel like making some kind of comment to him. He can handle it. Right? He decided now to turn his head, and he must of seen me staring at him, because he starts wiggling his eyebrows. Who does that? I try to hold back the laugh, but that doesn't seem to work.
"Hey Finnick, stop staring at me!" I yell.
"Hey Kat, you're not the person I was staring at!" He yells back.
"You staring at Jo? Because I wouldn't if I were you. She can get dangerous, you know."
"The one next to Jo. What's her name?" He asks.
"Annie? You're staring Annie? Thats cute." I say. Right then, Annie turns to face me. She doesn't look to happy, to say the least.
"Katniss Everdeen! Stop talking to him now!" She yells at me. Wait, yells? Annie never yells at any of us! I give her a 'what was that for' kind of look, and she replies with a 'not now', look. Finnick must of done something Annie clearly did not like. I still can't believe she yelled.
Peeta turns around to face me, and looks like he's trying to figure something out. "Wait, so, you're an Everdeen?" he asks.
"Uh, ya, why? Jo's a Mason, Annie's a Cresta, and Madge is a Undersea." I say. He chuckles.
"You don't happen to be related to Suzanne Everdeen, do you?" He asks. All of my friends now look at him weirdly. How in the world does he know my mother? My mother was never a real mom to me. Well, she as until my dad died. Then she went into a deep depression. Peeta would have to be 11 or younger to have met my mom before, because after my dad died, she very rarely ever went outside. Well, Peeta might have gotten injured when he was on a vacation to the area I live. Thats a possibility. Because I highly doubt he could remember someone from when he was really young.
"That's my mother, why?" I ask. He looks shocked and like he is trying to comprehend those words.
"Oh, um, it-it doesn't matter then." Oh. Well, this is strange. He looks extremely nervous to say anything. What ddoes he know about my mother? Now I am even more curious.
"No. Tell me!" I say. He takes a deep breath.
"Well, my dad talks about your mom a lot. His name is Chris Mellark. Apparently they dated for years, and they were highschool sweethearts. My dad proposed to your mom, and they were engaged for two months. Then, they went to a concert, and your dad was singing. They fell in love and, well, they got married. So, my dad had to find someone else. He would always talk about how beautiful she was. I guess it runs in the family." That last part he said in a whisper. I turn to face Johanna then Peeta. By the looks of it, she heard him say it too.
"Peeta. Aren't you engaged?" I ask him.
"Yes, I am. Why?"
"I just heard you say something, and maybe I didn't understand what you said correctly, but let me tell you something. You have a girl back home that would not appreciate you saying those words. Got it?" I ask.
"Oh, uh, ya, I definitely understand." He says. And it looks like he genuinely does. I feel bad for the guy, actually.
"What's her name, anyways?" I ask.
"Delly Cartwright. Well, soon it will be Delly Mellark." He says with a grin.
"Thats sweet. How long have you two been together?" I ask.
"Well we dated on and off throughout highschool. Our parents kind of put us together at first. But after highschool we were together for three years." He explains. I smile at him and we continue to watch the game.
The game is going well. The Mockingjays are winning. Peeta, Finnick, and Gale are actually pretty funy guys. I don't think Annie is as upset anymore, which is good.
"And now, everyone's favorite time of the night! We are going around with the kiss camera! One lucky couple will get to kiss in front of everyone at the ball park and be featured on the jumbo screen!" Claudius Templesmith, the game announcer, says. This is always kind of funny. At the few games I've been to, the couples are either crazy or embarrassed. The spotlight kepps flashing through the crowd, lucking for two people.
Then, a sudden light is in my eyes. I try to block the light, and I look around. Oh no. No. The spotlight is on me. And Peeta. I look over at him, and he is as red as a tomato. He tries to wave the cameras away, but they don't move.
"Oh, come on! You two are an adorable couple. Or are you just friends?" Claudius asks.
"Yes. Just friends!" We try to holler.
"Well, you know, I have been called the perfect matchmaker for ages now." He says. Now, the whole entire stadium starts shouting "Kiss". I feel like I'm twelve again. Even the players have stopped playing just so they could see this. This is so awkward. Peeta is engaged, and everyone wants us to kiss. I look over at him, and he looks at me.
"What should we do?" I try to yell over all the hollering.
"Let's just get it done wth." He replies. We both lean in, and our lips touch for literally two seconds, but when we pull away, I wish I hadn't. There was something inside of me that felt like this kiss meant something more than just to impress the audience. Jo must have noticed because she chuckles a little. Then I hear a guy chuckle. Finnick. Of course thats who it is. I glare at him, but that doesn't seem to stop him.
