Getting a ton of reviews and hits! I'm so thankful you all love it! Updating another two chapters today! I have a big paper for school this week, so I am not sure how much I can update until Friday. But good news, after Friday I am on spring break! Next week will be full of updates! Don't forget to review!

I wake up early today, and find picking out an outfit harder than usual. Brown cargo pants with a light blue shirt, or khakis with a muted orange? I decide on the muted orange with khakis, and pull on my soft boots. I spot Prim's orange ribbon draped over the towel rack, and decide to tie it on the end of my braid. I flip it behind my back, and step out of the bathroom, to run into Prim.

"Morning Katniss! Oh, you look pretty!" I blush a bit, and then turn for the kitchen. Mom has set out our small lunch bags, and I toss mine in with my school stuff, grabbing an apple on the way to the door.

"Prim, we need to go!" She races down the stairs in a dulled yellow shirt, hair tied up with her new yellow ribbon. I smile and hand her an apple with her lunch, and run out of the house.

"So what's with the ribbon?" I hear Prim ask, and when I turn to look at her, she wiggles her eyebrows comically.

"I don't know. I just thought I would wear one…" I look away, kicking a stone across the coal dusted lane.

"Katniss, you haven't worn a ribbon in your hair for years. I was just teasing anyways, I like the ribbon. It's nice on you." I smile, and look up at her.

"You're new ribbon looks great too. We need to pick up the pace! The Hawthorne's are probably waiting!" We twine our fingers together and start jogging up to the corner, where we always meet Gale, Rory, and Vick. Gale's eyes bulge a bit, probably at the site of my ribbon. Rory has the exact same expression.

I laugh nervously, and flip my braid back. Prim jumps ahead and grabs Rory's hand, who grabs Vick. They all skip ahead, and Gale just stares still.

"What?" I ask, slightly annoyed.

"Why are you wearing a ribbon Catnip? I've known you for four years, and not once have you ever worn a ribbon. So why now?" I shrug, and start walking. I really don't know why I wore a ribbon, it just seemed right. "Well, are you going to actually answer?"

"I don't know Gale. I just felt like wearing one. Why does it bug you anyways?" I shoot back, getting annoyed quickly at him.

"Never mind." He responds, sounding just as annoyed as I am.

We walk to school in complete silence compared to our younger siblings.

I hug Prim quickly, promising to see her at lunch and jog to Trig, feeling a bit of excitement bubble in my stomach. I see Peeta already seated in our desks, which causes me to smile a bit. I walk over, and flop into my chair, and turn to see him staring still, blushing too when he realizes I caught him in the act.

"What are you staring at?" I question, feeling annoyance again.

"You. You just look, um, really pretty today. I like the ribbon." I blush, and look down at my book. I barely mumble out thanks. "Shall we start working? I want to get the 4th and 5th steps done today, so I don't have to worry about homework tonight."

The period flies by quickly, and soon it is time to go. "I will meet you at the willow, okay?" Peeta nods and we head separate ways to our 2nd period. My next class with him is after lunch. My classes drag by, and finally it is lunch. Madge is already seated at the table and smiles when I walk up.

"Hey. Where were you yesterday?" I ask.

"Oh, I wasn't feeling well. Plus mother was having a particularly bad day, so dad asked me to watch her."

"Is she doing better?" Mrs. Undersee has really bad headaches, to the point some days she won't even eat or drink.

"Yeah, much better, but still in bed. Nice ribbon by the way, it suits you." I smile slightly, giving her a nod in thanks. "Wait, why are you wearing a ribbon?" I quickly glance around to see if Prim is around, and then respond.

"I'm hanging out with Peeta after school, and for some reason I felt the need to wear a ribbon." Madge looks at me as if someone just awarded her a million coins.

"That's so sweet! Katniss, you even look happy. Have fun tonight." She winks at the end, and I smile again a bit. When Prim comes up, we drop the conversation and listen to her day so far.

I have history with Peeta next, but we have assigned seats in that class, across the room from each other right now. I look over and smile at him, and he returns it. I can't help my gaze falling towards him every few minutes. I shake the thought out, and try to focus on the boring history of how coal was discovered.

Once 6th period's class ends, I scramble out of there, and get to the willow tree quickly. I pause slightly when I see him already there, leaning against the tree causally. I quickly start walking again, and he turns with a smile. I get lost in his twinkling cerulean blue eyes, but snap out of it when he laughs.

"Katniss? Did you hear me?" He asks, with a smirk.

"Um, no sorry." I blush slightly.

"Are you ready to go?" I nod, and we start walking. "So, you any good at drawing?" I laugh when he asks this.

"Never really tried. I highly doubt it though."

"We'll see about that." He responds, and for once, I'm slightly nervous of Peeta Mellark's plans.

Hey, just a reminder, REVIEW PLEASE. (:
