Chapter 4
(Katniss POV)
"Remind me again why Katniss's nickname is girl on fire? I still don't get it" Thom asks, for the fourth time, just to piss me off. I groan in annoyance. "Because when she blushes, which just happens to be quite a lot, it looks like her whole face is on fire" Finnick says "and she's a girl" he adds.
So far during lunch I've been called girl on fire, kitty (Finnick calls me that), Katniss, Kitty cat, brainless ( Johanna calls me that after she asked me a question and i wasn't listening so I just said what and she started calling me brainless and last of all and by far my favourite is when Peeta started calling me Kat.
Lunch ends too quickly and we all head separate ways to our lockers and then to our lesson. Me and Peeta head back to our lockers. "Sorry about all that. On the plus side I'm pretty sure they like you" I laugh "yeah I hope they like me. So what about you, do you like me" He blushes a deep red and opens his mouth to say something when I get shoved by someone and fall to the floor. I look up and see glimmer and another girl walking away laughing. All my books fell out of my bag. Peeta crouches down next to me. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did you hit your head?" he says, worry evident in his voice. "Yeah I'm fine, but my ass really hurts now" I say to lighten the mood. We both laugh and he helps me pick up all my books. He hands them to me and our hands touch again. Sparks of electricity run through my body and my breath hitches slightly. I distract myself by putting my books in my bag and hope he doesn't notice how fast my breathing or my heart rate is. We stand up. "Are you sure you're okay? I can take you to the school nurse" he says "Peeta I'm fine really" he sighs "fine but if you don't feel good even slightly I can take you to the nurse" "fine, come on let's get to class." I look on my arm at where I wrote my timetable. "We have a free period before we have food tech, come with me I want to show you something" Peeta says and takes my hand pulling me towards the doors at the front of the building. "Where are we going?" I ask curiosity clear in my voice. "It's a surprise" he says in excitement. I groan and mutter "I hate surprises" he laughs "well I promise you will like this one, well I'm pretty sure you will" He drags me towards a black range rover and he fishes the keys out of his pocket. "Is this your car?!" I ask shocked by how flashy it is and how shiny and new it looks. "Yeah my parents got it for me as a joint birthday and Christmas present" he says as he opens the door for me. I climb in and he shuts the door for me and jogs round the other side and gets in. I take a deep sniff and sigh happily. Peeta looks at me amusement covering his face. I blush and say "it smells like you" He looks even more amused now as he puts the keys in the ignition. "And what do I smell like?" I giggle and say "you smell like fresh bread and cinnamon, with a hint of that sort of boy smell of aftershave" I smile and he smiles back at me. "Well it's hard to explain how you smell. But the best way to explain it is you smell... fresh and like the forest, with a hint of that girly perfume smell" he says and winks at me. I blush a deep red that makes him laugh. He pulls out of the parking lot and drives down a few roads. Where is he taking me? If it had been anyone else I would be worried or id be jumping out of the car but something about Peeta made me stay, his scent that to me meant safety, his generally kind personality and just him, just Peeta made me stay. He stopped and I looked around. And what I saw took my breath away. As far as I could see was a breath-taking meadow. The grass was so green and right in the middle was a large oak tree and underneath was a bench. The oak was the only tree here but spotted all over the grass were flowers in so many different colours. Peeta was right I do love this surprise. "Wow... This is beautiful Peeta" he opens his car door and just as I'm about to open mine, he opens it and takes my hands as I jump out. Me being as clumsy as I am trip and fall into him, I send us both tumbling into the soft grass, him lying down with me on top of him. "I'm sorry I'm so clumsy" I try to get up but my foot slips and I fall back on top of him. He puts his hands on my waist and we both burst into fits of laughter. "It's fine Kat, I don't mind" He sits up and that forces me to sit up with my legs around his waist. I think to myself I wish i could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever "I wish we could too" " did i say that aloud" i say blushing. He laughs "yeah you did" He stands up effortlessly still holding me with my legs still around his waist. Once we're fully stood up I release my legs from his waist and place my feet back on the floor. My arms are still around his neck and his are still holding my waist. I've got an idea. "Tag!" I shout and take off running. "Oh it's on Everdeen!" he shouts after me and starts to run toward me. Oh oh! He's faster than me. I run as fast as I can but still here him behind me. I feel his arms wrap around my waist and he spins me round "ahhh" I scream but soon after start giggling like crazy. He's still behind me. He moves my hair out from the side of my neck and brushes his lips next to my ear and whispers "tag you're it now". It sends shivers up my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'm breathless from running and giggling so much. We end up sitting in the middle of the grass and playing truth or dare. "Truth" I say, he thinks for a while "do you have a crush on anyone, and you can't say maybe" I blush a deep red and mumble a quiet "yes" "okay my turn, Dare" I think for a long while before I come up with something "take your shirt off" My mouth says something completely different to what my brain was telling me. He smirks at me before actually taking his shirt off. I sit for a while slightly shocked that he had done it without complaining. "Your turn" "I'll go for a dare as well, but if you tell me to take my shirt off I won't be happy" I say with a mock scowl. He laughs and so do i. "okay so... I dare you to come sit with me for the rest of the time we're here" he says he spreads his legs apart and I sit between them with my back against his bare chest, and i like it he radiates warmth and I feel safe. "This okay" he nods "I'll pick truth this time" i hope he says something good for this next question "who do you have a crush on?" he thinks for a moment before answering. "I still need to sort out my feelings but the girl I think I like is brave, funny, strong, smart and her beauty is beyond compare, her hair is soft and beautiful, her eyes are so striking and hold so much wonder and her smile, her smile is so amazing the stars are put to shame by it. And she's just amazing" I'm taken aback I wasn't expecting that "why are you still sorting out your feelings?" I ask "well I kind of just met her and i can only hope to ever be with her one day. Our conversation is interrupted by the alarm on my phone that signals that we have to get back to school for our next class. So we stand up, he puts his shirt back on and we head back to the car and drive back to school in a comfortable silence. And I was left with mm thoughts and his words echoing through my skull. Was he describing me? It sounded like I, No it had to have been someone else, someone he just met that isn't me. I can't help the thought images raging through my mind. Images of me and him holding hands, me and him kissing, me and him, me and Peeta.
Please review it makes me smile reading your words. I don't mind criticism but please review tell me what you think. do you think i should write this in Peeta's POV or not just give me your opinion. thanks for reading. love you all
