I woke up feeling horrible and my back really hurts and to make things worse it's the dance tonight which means seeing Madge. I haven't seen her since that day I came to her house and she kissed me but I was still very nervous. The school let us have a day of to get ready for the dance lots of girls were out in town looking at stuff to buy and wear to the dance out in one of the shops I could just make out Madge she was looking at some dresses and she looked up and saw me staring at her.

Her expression was a dull one but once she saw me her whole face lit up. She gave me a wave and I walked off. I followed the path going to the Seam. I wanted to visit Katniss and I really wanted to tell her how I feel but I just couldn't bring myself to do that.

When I arrived at her house I knocked on the door and waited, I expected Katniss to open the door but instead I saw a small, blonde, blue eyed and thin young girl whose name was Primrose and everyone called her Prim for short.

"Hi Peeta" she said happily

"Hi Prim, is Katniss here?" I ask.

"No she went hunting with Gale, they'll be back in a few minutes though" she tells me.

While we waited for Katniss she showed me her goat Lady.

"Did you know Katniss gave me this goat for my birthday present?" she asks me

"No" I tell her

We went back inside the house to have some tea I was just about to take a sip when the door flung open and there standing in the doorway was Katniss she had an expression had never seen before.

"Is everything alright?" I ask

"Oh hi Peeta, yeah everything's perfect" she says

But I know she's lying I can tell because I've known her for about 10 years.

"Katniss you can tell me anything" I tell her gently

Katniss hesitates for a moment then she grabs my wrist and pulls me to her room. She sits on her bed and I sit next to her. I take her hand and hold it in my hands.

"I'm confused Peeta" she finally says.

"About what"

Katniss took a deep breathe and says "Gale and I were out hunting and we were making our way back to the fence then he stopped and he grabbed me and spun me around to face him. Then he opened his mouth to say something but instead he just leans down and kisses me".

I am lot for words "oh ok" was all I could manage.

Katniss and I sat there which felt like a long time in awkward silence. "bye Katniss, see you tonight" I murmured

"ok bye" she says.

I walk all the way back to the town square and I go around to a few shops and every now and then I see girls in a crowd all giggling and pointing at me they had blonde hair, blue or green eyes and fair skin. i could tell by the look of them they were merchants. I simply Ignored them while I walked pass the group of giggling girls. After a went around to a few shops i head home. when I opened the door my father was holding his suit when he was a teen like me.

"try it on Peeta" he says

I went to the nearest bathroom and slipped on the suit. I stepped out of the bathroom and into the living room where my dad was i got there his face broke into a smile.

"this was the very suit i wore when I asked Katniss' mum to be my girlfriend" he tells me. Dad did my hair and he also polished my shoes until they were shiny and black. when dad was finished with me I started to make my way to Mayor undersee's house where i would pick up Madge. Madge looked pretty. she wore a long silky silver dress, a silver headband and some shiny gold and silver bracelets. she didn't have alot of makeup on. she had put on faint silver eye blush and a light pink of blush on her cheeks and a tint of pink lipstick. Even though i felt nothing for Madge she still looked great.

Madge and I walked to the school it wasn't far only 5 blocks away. the school was covered in lights and decorations it looked wonderful. when we entered the room I couldn't speak. the gym was wonderful. on the side was a long table with punch, cakes, cookies, fruit many more delicious foods to eat. Madge was talking to one of her friends and I had nothing to do so I left for a bit.

I was looking for Katniss. Then i spot Gale maybe Katniss was next to him but I was wrong she wasn't there. Then i realized how thirsty I was so i went over to the punch and there was a girl standing next to it, the hair looked really familiar it hang down to her elbows in soft silky curls and when she turned around i realized it was Katniss. she looked amazing. she wore a light shade of pink dress around her hands was beaded bracelets and she wore the golden locket Gale and I gave to her on her 13th Birthday. when you opened it there was a picture of all 3 of us smiling. Her face wasn't like any of the other merchant girls faces. She had a light touch of pink on her eye lids, faint pink blush and a tint of pink lipstick. Then i looked into her eyes they were like pools of silver, every time i looked in them i always lost myself and tonight I was standing there gaping at her like an idiot.

"you better close your mouth before flies go in there" she jokes.

when she says that i snap out of my trance. "oh um yeah" I say back to her.

"Wanna dance" she asks me.

"Yeah sure" i reply

we stand there with her hand on my shoulder and my hand on her waist and us holding ours hands. we move around in little circles. when the song has finished someone taps my shoulder and i turn out and see Gale "May I have a dance with my date?" he asks

"yeah the songs finished anyway" i say. i watched as Katniss went away with Gale. Madge comes behind me and says "Peeta i would like to dance"

so Madge and I dance to 3 songs then she has to go home because she never sleeps at 10:30pm. I spend the rest of the night talking with people and trying to talk to get near Katniss but somehow i can't because Gale is always with her. I leave at 11:30pm and I walk back home. When i finished getting undressed and putting on my sleeping clothes I lay on my bed and when my head hits the pillow I am fast asleep.
