Hey everyone! Happy New year!
Here is chapter 9, there are a lot of spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes because I used my iPod to write this because my laptop refuses to work :( Hope y'all had a good Christmas :) Xx
I did a fist pump in the air. YES! Katniss Everdeen not only agreed to hang out with me but is also my friend. I just wish she felt something towards me romantically. I wonder would it be too early to ask her if she wants to hang out tomorrow. My mum is away visiting her sister for three days, so she would be able to come over to my house and thankfully I won't have mum nagging at me all the time and pressurizing me. I do a little happy dance but stop when I see a group if people looking at me weirdly. Talk about awkward, thankfully they haven't realized who I am.
Then I hear a girly scream. Oh no! Please don't be fan girls. Please don't be fan girls. I repeat this mantra in my head as I slowly turn around and see I group of girls. I groan. Can I not get one day without seeing them. It's not that I don't love my fans, but when they chase you around all the time, it gets really annoying.
I see them about to cross the street so I take of running as fast as I can.
When I eventually get home I am exhausted and I have stitch at my side from all the running. Thank God we have security to keep them out. I slowly walk up to my room and start doing my homework but I can't get the thought out of my head that Katniss gave me a chance and I am now her friend :)
Next Day
The next morning I quickly get ready for school and make my way downstairs.
"Hey dad." I greet him when I go into the kitchen.
"Hey son. Have a good nights sleep?" He asks.
"Yeah, I did. Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"I might be bringing a friend over tonight."
"That's good, I'm so glad you made a friend. Who is it? I might know them." Yeah you know her.
"Um ... Katniss Everdeen."
"What this I hear Peety got himself a girlfriend? " said my brother Rye.
I groan.
"She's not my girlfriend, just a friend." I mumbled.
"Ah...but you wish she was your girlfriend, don't ya?"
"Shut up Rye!" I shout.
"Rye leave your brother alone and go wake up Bran." My dad says.
"Ok. I can't wait to tell Bran about Peety's girlfriend." He said laughing.
"I thought you said she hates you." My dad said after Rye left.
"She did but I guess she changed her mind."
"Well I'm glad you got yourself a friend, now you better go before you're late."
"Yeah, bye dad."
"Bye son."
At School
"Hey Katniss" I shout, when I spot her standing at her locker.
"Hey." She mutters back.
"Are you ok?" I ask .
"Yeah, I'm fine, just tired."
"Ok. I was wondering if you maybe wanted to hang out after to school today?" I ask hopefully.
She hesitates for a bit. "Ok I suppose that would be alright." She says hesitantly.
"Great. My place?" I ask, I don't want her to think that she has to come to my house.
"Um...I ... Ok sure" she says with a small smile. I can tell that she is nervous about having to come to my house.
She gets her books out of her locker and we make are way to science.
When we get there, Mr Crane isn't there, instead Miss Trinket was there.
"Come in, come in, it's a big , big day." She said ushering us in, a big smile on her face.
"I will be covering you today because Mr Crane is unable to be here because his brother sadly passed away last night. Mr Crane didn't have time to plan any work so you will try to know more about the person you are siting beside. I will hand out pieces of paper if you want to write the stuff down because you will be writing a small essay for me, for tomorrow."
The whole class groaned.
"Well, I guess we should start." I said, turning around in my chair to face Katniss.
"Yeah, I guess." She said with a sigh.
"I guess we should start with the simple things. What's your favourite colour?" I ask.
"Green, like the forest. You?"
"Orange." I see her scrunch up her nose, she looks cute when she does that, "like the sunset" I add.
"What is your family like?" She asks.
"Well you've met my dad, he's amazing and really supportive. My brothers, Rye and Bran are annoying they're twins and are 18. My mom...well she's...she's ...she's different." I say lamely.
"Different?" She asks raising an eyebrow.
"Um...I'll er tell you later."
"You don't have to."
"Thanks. I've already met your family. Um.. What happened to your dad? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to."
"It's ok. My dad was a wonderful man, he cared for us all deeply, he used to always take me into the forest and we would do some archery and when I was younger he always sang songs to make me go to sleep, I really miss him." She says sadness creeping into her features.
We talked a bit more and I found out that she likes to read more than watching movies, she likes listening to music, she loves hot chocolate and she can play piano but hasn't got one at her house anymore. The bell rings and we make are way to our next class which is history.
"Hey Peeta" says Delly when I sit down.
"Oh hey Delly." I say getting out my books and setting them out on the table.
"Um I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me today after school" she said hopefully.
"Sorry Delly but I'm hanging out with Katniss today after school."
"Katniss? But she hates you!"
"We're friends now" I say with a smile.
"Oh." She says sounding disappointed.
The rest of the day went by quickly but Delly didn't seem as chirpy as she usually is.
I meet Katniss outside the school when the final class ends.
"You ready?" I ask.
"Yeah I just have to ask Gale to give Prim a lift home. Oh there he is. Gale!" She shouts waving him over.
"Yeah Catnip?"
"I need you to give Prim a lift home alright?"
"Yeah sure, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Peetas house."
Gale looks surprised and raises an eyebrow, then Madge comes over.
"Gale can you give me lift home." She asks when she's beside him.
"Yeah, sure." He says planting a kiss on her lips. I wish I could do that with Katniss. "But I need to leave Prim home first."
"Why? Where are you going?"she asks Katniss.
"I'm going to Peetas house."
"Oh, " she says a big smile on her face. "Well we better be going. Have fun" she says with a wink and Gale and her walk off .
"Well we better get going." Says Katniss
"Yeah, my cars right over here."
What did you guys think? Good? Bad?
They hang out in the next chapter and I should have the next chapter up on Friday :)
