Chapter 2
"Hey! I'm Home!" I shout
"Hey Katniss" says my little sister Primrose, Prim for short.
"Hey little duck"
"Did you hear that Peeta Mellark is here in District 12"? Says Prim excitedly
"Yes Prim I have, that is all I've heard about ALL day" I say exasperatedly.
"Well, aren't you excited?" Prim says
"Ecstatic" I say sarcastically
"I really don't get it, why do not like him? He looks like a nice person."
"Prim, looks can be deceiving, he may look nice but he is probably cocky and arrogant just like Gloss was"
"Katniss not everybody who becomes famous is like Gloss, I know he-"
"Prim, I don't want to talk about it" I say as I hurry up to my room and slam the door behind me.
Katniss, Prim! Time for dinner!" my mum shouts up the stairs
"Coming" me and Prim shout in unison
At The Dinner Table
"So... I heard Peeta Mellark is going to be going to your school" my mum says
"Oh no mum, not you too" I groan with my mouth full.
"Katniss don't talk with your mouth full" my mums says disapprovingly
"Yes mum"
"Now what's wrong with saying Peeta Mellark's going to your school?"
"She doesn't like him and I really don't know why" says prim
"Why do you not like him Katniss?" says my mum, she actually sounds quite shocked
"Because..."
"Because what?"
"Because he's a jerk" I say crossly
"How do you know he's a jerk, you've never met him!" says prim angrily
"Shut up Prim" I shout glaring at her
"No you shut up"
"Girls behave. Katniss, is it because he looks a bit like Gloss?" my mum asks.
"Yes" I say quietly.
"Look, I know Gloss hurt you Katniss but not everyone in the world is going to be like Gloss ok?"
I nod my head.
"Did you know that I used to date Peeta's father when I was younger?" my mum asks
"You what?" I say shocked.
"Did you really?" says Prim excitedly.
"Yes, he was a very kind man and my best friend, I haven't seen him in ages. He used to bake me a big cake every Saturday and we would go on a picnic to the park. Then we broke up and he left town a year after that to start a bakery in District 2" says my mum thoughtfully
"Why did you break up?" asks Prim
"We broke up because I met your father. When we where on one of our picnics I heard a man singing, the voice was so captivating that even the birds stopped to listen, it was so beautiful" my mum says, a far away look in her eyes.
"Then I went to the park the next day again to see if I could hear the voice again and I did. So I followed the voice and I met your father and we talked and he sang to me and then...then he kissed me and I just fell in love with him she says, smiling at the memory "I broke things off with Darren, that's his name, because it wouldn't have been fair going out with him while loving another man. He stopped talking to me afterwards but he left me letter when he left saying he was sorry and he was happy that I had found someone to make me happy even though he was sad it wasn't him."
"How come you never told us that story before" says Prim
"I just never got around to it" my mother replies "Now finish your dinner and go do your homework, then go straight to bed"
"Yes sir" I says saluting her.
She rolls her eyes at my response.
"Katniss?"
"Yes"
"Give Peeta a chance"
I don't know how to respond. If I say yes, it will be a lie and if I say no, she'll give me a lecture, so I just don't respond at all and run up the stairs quickly.
