Hey Everyone! Thank you for all of the reviews, they're very encouraging.
Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes
"Katniss, Katniss, wake up!" My sister Prim said, shaking my arm.
I groaned, turning onto my side, putting the pillow over my head to drown out the sound.
"Mom, Katniss won't get up!" Prim shouted.
"Katniss! Get up!" My mom shouted up the stairs.
"I'm tired"! I shouted back.
"Get up, Katniss"! Prim said, hitting me with one of the pillows, "Or I'll get a bucket of water."
I sat up, quickly and glared at her "You wouldn't!"
"Oh, I would, now get up" she said, stomping out of the room.
"Fine" I hissed after her retreating form.
I don't want to go to school today. Can you guess why? ...Yes you guessed right, Peeta Mellark.
I unwillingly get out of bed and go into the shower. When I get into the shower, I start thinking about last night. Why did I have a dream about him? At least I didn't have any nightmares. I have nightmares almost every night. I keep seeing my dad, getting killed by that car.
My dad was killed by a drunk driver who ran a stop light and right into my dad, when he was crossing the road to get me a lollipop from. I never ate lollipops after that. If I hadn't wanted that stupid lollipop, dad would still be alive. Then I feel the tears slipping down my face. I quickly wipe them away and dry myself off.
When I get downstairs, I am met with a very angry Prim.
"Did you know you spent an hour getting changed?" she asked.
"Well, sorry. Whats got your panties in a twist?" I asked, a little shocked at my sisters bitchy behaviour.
She just rolled her eyes and went up to her room.
"She has a presentation to do today and she's very nervous and doesn't want to be late." my mum said, answering my question.
"Oh."
Then I heard Gales car.
"Prim! Gales here!" I yelled.
"Coming!" She yelled back, quickly hurrying down the stairs and out the door.
"Bye mum." I said.
At School
Thankfully there has been no sign of Peeta, so far. Maybe he's not here. A little part of me feels disappointed. Strange.
"Katniss" I hear Madge shout.
"Yeah?" I asked, when she neared me.
"Gale asked me out!" she said with a big grin on her face
"He did?"
"Yeah, I'm so happy" she says embracing me in a big bear hug. "Thank you." she whispers in my ear.
"For what?" I ask.
"Gale said you kind of helped him"
"Oh, glad I could be of service." I said
"I still can't believe i"t she squealed.
I smiled at her. I've never seen her so happy.
"Come on, let's go to homeroom." she says.
After homeroom, I go to science, I don't see Peeta yet, so maybe, he isn't here.
Peeta's Pov
"I'm sorry mum, I thought the song was good." I said
"This Peeta" she shouted pointing at the piece of paper", ..is rubbish!"
"No, it's not."
"Don't you dare talk back to me" she screamed, slapping me across the cheek.
"I need to go to school." I said trying to ignore the throbbing in my cheek.
"No, you need to write these lyrics again and good lyrics." She said setting a clean sheet of paper on my desk and stomping out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
I groaned and went to the mini fridge/freezer and got a bag of peas, which I keep in there for whenever she hits me, which is a lot.
I head over to the desk and sit down, trying to think of lyrics. My mind drifts to Katniss and I start to jot down some lyrics.
I've tried playing it cool
Girl, when I'm looking at you
I can't ever be brave
Cause you make my heart race
Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe
Some thing's gotta get loud
'Cause I'm dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my head
and fall into my arms instead
I don't, don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
and you've got that one thing.
I better go show them to mother. I think they're very good. I should think about Katniss more often when I'm writing lyrics. I wonder if she listens to my music. Probably not if she hates me so much.
Katniss' Pov
Peeta never came into school today. I wonder if he's ok. Wait a minute. Why am I wondering if he's ok?
School finally ends and I make my way home with Gale and Prim.
"How was you presentation Prim?" I asked.
"It went well" she said smiling "sorry for being such a bitch to you"
"It's ok"
"Hey Gale"
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I'm glad you asked Madge out."
"Yeah, me too. I was so worried she'd say no."
I smiled at him and he smiled back. Then Prim out on the radio and my thoughts drifted to Peeta.
I think Katniss is falling for Peeta. What do you guys think?
Please review and tell me what you thought.
