Hey guys! how are y'all?

I want to thank you all for being very understanding about me not having a chapter up on Friday. I felt really bad for telling you I would have one up on Friday and not having one up and i felt like I had let you guys down but you where all very understanding.

I feel like I have let you down with this chapter as it is rubbish but this week has been hectic.

Chapter 10

Katniss' Pov

The ride to Peeta's house was quiet. I'm really nervous. I've never been in a boys house before except Gales of course but Gales like a brother to me.

When we get to Peeta's house, I am speechless. Its a beautiful house with a breathtaking garden and they have security guards!

You would fit my house in his house 4 times. It's a lovely house but it doesn't look homely though.

Peeta parks the car in one of the garages. Yes one of the garages. There are exactly seven of them. Who needs seven garages?!

"Are you coming?" Peeta asks when he gets out of the car.

"Yeah coming." I say, quickly unbuckling the seatbelt.

I thought the outside of the house was amazing and I thought it couldn't get better. But boy was I wrong. When I stepped into the house I was stunned. Literally. I couldn't move. The house was magnificent with loads of paintings (probably worth a lot of money) and the had a marble staircase.

"Katniss, are you alright?" Peeta asks, concern in his voice.

"What? Uh yeah. I'm fine." I say breathlessly. (A/N I don't know if that's the right word to use but anywho)

Peeta eyes me skeptically. "Are you sure? Do you want me to get a class of water for you?"

I shake my head to clear my thoughts. "Yeah I would like a drink, thanks."

"This way." he says walking to what must be the kitchen.

"You have a beautiful house." I say when we go into the kitchen.

"Thanks." he says with a smile and hands me a glass of water. "Do you want to go up to my room?"

Before I can answer him. A boy, who looks a couple of years older than me walks in. He looks very similar to Peeta, he has blonde hair, blue eyes. But he doesn't have Peeta's dazzling smile. Did I just call Peeta's smile dazzling? Maybe he put something in my drink. I don't like him, like that.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" the boy says. "Is this the girlfriend you were talking about Peety?" he said throwing his arm over Peeta's shoulders.

I looked at Peeta and narrowed my eyes at him. "I must say, she's pretty hot." he said winking at me. "Well aren't you gonna introduce us?" he asked Peeta

Peeta sighed heavily. "Katniss, this is Rye my brother. Rye, this is Katniss my friend." he said empathising the word friend.

Rye rolled his eyes. "Well, I would love to stay and chat, but I have to go pick up Bran. But did I hear you asking her up to your room?" he asked. Peeta nodded, looking a tad confused.

"Well, use protection. I don't want to be an uncle yet." he said laughing. Peeta punched his arm.

"Get out of here!" he said angrily, he looked really embarassed, probably the same way I did.

"I'm going, I'm going. Nice meeting you Katniss." he said.

I nodded in response. Maybe he's not so bad.

"She's very quiet. At least you won't have to worry about dad hearing you two, when your doing it." he said walking away laughing.

I take back what I said. He's horrible.

"Um, I'm sorry about him." he said running his hand through his hair.

"It's fine."

"Well do you wanna go up? I have some movies up there we could watch. If you want."

"Yeah sure."

"Ok, this way." he said, motioning for me to follow him up the stairs.

I'm really sorry it's RUBBISH! In fact rubbish is an understatement and I'm sorry it's so short. But this week has been hectic, with it being the holidays and my granda going to hospital and also my computer being a pain in the ass again. I also found out I need to learn an essay for Monday, for a controlled assessment as I only got half of it done because I was sick the other day :(

My granda was fine today but he was still not his usual self. Thank you all for asking how he was doing, its nice to know people care.
