I walk into the lobby of the main building and wait for Peeta and his father with my bags for school and belongings. They come out and Mr. Mellark leads the way. We stop at the hospital and they say I'm fine except that I keep taking my anxiety pills. As we walk through the town I lean over to Peeta, 'What is a foster home exactly?' I hand him the note. He laughs a little, "It's when a family takes in a child for a temporary time."
"So I could be kicked out at any time?" I write getting unsure about this.
"No. My father and the people will explain it more when we get there. It's only a few more blocks," he says trying to calm me down. I relax a little when he puts a hand on my back. We arrive minutes later at a regular townie house. A man and woman run out with blonde girl behind them.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Undersee," Peeta's dad says. They smile and invite us in. I walk through the door and take in the giant living room and kitchen.
"Max, Loretta, this is Katniss." Mr. Mayor says motioning to the couple. I smile. "Hi Katniss; this is our daughter Madge, she's your age," the woman looks to Madge.
"Hi Katniss. I've seen you at school," she grins just like her mom. Perky and blond, great. They sit on the sofa and I sit in a chair next to Peeta.
"Tell us about yourself, Katniss." They ask. I look to Peeta and he gets it.
"I think you know everything, you don't have act so interested in me," Peeta translates for me as I sign. They sigh, "But we are interested in you. So you talk with your hands?"
"It's called sign language," Peeta says giving me a glare. He left out the word 'idiots'.
"Right," the man say looking at the wall after noticing my death glare. After the conversation runs dry I am shown my bedroom which is shared with Madge.
"Do you like it?" Max asks. I nod. As Madge helps me settle in Mr. Mellark talk to Max and Loretta.
"Do you like it here?" Madge asks. "Do you know any sign language at all?" Peeta translates. She shakes her head, "No."
I scoff and take out my note book.
"What is she doing?" Madge whisper to Peeta a little too loud.
"If she can't sign that's how Katniss talks. Pretty smart of her," Peeta says giving me a cute glance. I smile and pass Madge my message.
"Well you're going have to learn. I hate talking this way and I hate people who don't have enough drive to learn to sign for me. Unless I have Peeta with me translating my way of talking I have to accommodate you people," she reads slowly. I give her that OKAY? look. She nods in fear and basically runs away. I turn and smile at Peeta. "is it me or is she annoying beyond tolerance?" I sign. He laugh and kisses me again.
I know its short but the next one should be longer :)
