I know i promised lots of chapters over the weekend. and i'm really sorry i didn't post my (only) friend fainted on saturday so i spent all saturday and sunday with her. Quite a long chapter today though to make up for it hope its okay. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
(Katniss POV)
The first week of school had gone by in a blur. I ate with Peeta and friend's his (well i guess my friends too) everyday and I learnt lots about them. Like how Annie is easily distracted. How Finnick is known as a bit of a player but then I found he had a secret crush and claims his heart only belongs to one person, Annie and I have to say they are perfect for each other. I definitely ship finnie or annick. I learnt that Jackson's parents are surgeons and work at the same hospital as my mom (except my mom is a nurse). Both Madge and Finnick are quite rich and that Delly and Peeta are cousins.
Peeta's coming over Saturday to work on our project and Gale is visiting from Ohio (he was my only friend for a while but now I have Peeta, Annie, Madge, Finnick and everyone else. I can't wait. This weekend is gonna be awesome!
I'm talking with Gale on the phone
"So how was your first week, met any friends, any guys?" he says in a joking tone but i could hear the nerves in the last bit. I laugh "my first week was good, yes I've made friends, yes some are guys but I'm 100% sure it won't turn into more"
I hear him give a small exhale of breath.
"Well it's good that you made friends." He says and I can hear the smile in his voice. He's always been protective over me. He's always wanted me to be safe and happy. He's my big brother in more ways than anyone else ever could be and I love him for that. I love him like how I love prim. I love my big brother and my best friend
I frown. "I miss you Gale. I miss you so much" I walk up to my room as the tears start falling. "I miss you so much gale"
"Hey catnip come on don't cry, I'm coming up on Sunday that's just tonight and one more day and then I'll be there. Okay?"
"Okay" I manage to say between sobs.
"I miss you too catnip. More than words can explain." I wipe my tears and compose myself enough to ask him "so how are you and Rory, Vick, Posy and Hazel how are you all?"
"We're all fine. I got captain of the school football team finally!" he's been trying for that spot for years. "That's awesome! Congrats!" I open my laptop to start on my homework after I finish talking to Gale. As soon as I open it, it beeps alerting me of a Facebook notification. "What was that beep noise?" Gale asks.
"it's just Facebook, I got a message from my friend" I open up the message box it's a message from Peeta do you wanna see a movie with me on Sunday:) I don't know why but this makes my heart flutter. I type a reply as quick as I can yeah I'd love to what time and what movie? But before I send it I'm interrupted by a voice "Earth to catnip. What does it say?" Oh yeah Gale. I internally scream I really do want to see a movie with Peeta but Gale is my best friend i can't ditch him, but I can't bring him along either because some voice in my head is telling me i want to be alone with Peeta and for some reason Peeta and Gale don't seem to co-exist in the same world. Gale I part of my old life, a part I refuse against all odds to get rid of and Peeta is part of the adventure that is my new life, a part that I hope to enjoy for a long time to come. And for reasons I can't explain those two worlds don't mix at all. So I type a different reply and send it
"It's just one of my friends asking if I want to watch a movie on Sunday" i tell Gale.
"What's your reply gonna be" he asks slightly worried. I picture him pacing around the living room praying I don't say that I'm going. "I said that I had an old friend from Ohio coming, maybe another day. In those words exactly." He sighs a deep sigh of relief.
"Thought you was going to ditch me then catnip and I wouldn't be very happy if you do ditch me" he jokes and I laugh again. I look at the clock and see It's already 9:45 and I have loads of homework to do and I don't fancy doing much over the weekend especially on Sunday. "Gale I've got to go I have homework and I don't fancy doing any on Sunday and I'm working on a project with a friend tomorrow." I say grabbing my school bag and pulling out all my sheets, my notebook, and pencil case. "Okay catnip seeya Sunday"
"Seeya Sunday, miss you"
"Miss you too, bye"
"Bye" he says before hanging up
I flick through all my homework and I don't get any of it I need help. I open up Skype on my laptop. Who can I call? I have Annie, Finnick and Peeta on Skype. I'll call Peeta then I can explain face to face that I can't come to the cinema.
It takes me three calls for someone to pick up. Someone finally picks up but it's not Peeta. This boy has the same colour hair as Peeta but it's straighter and shorter. And his eyes are darker. "Hey beautiful I'm rye the hot one of the family. What can I do for sexy girl like you?" I roll my eyes. Seriously "I'm actually pretty sure Peeta is by far hotter than you" just as I say this Peeta walks in. "hey Peet your girlfriend is on Skype. She's proper fine. You should keep her." I blush and dark red and Rye just laughs. Peeta's cheeks go a little pink. "She's not my girlfriend and you have NO right to speak to or about her that way. And get out of my room." Rye spins around in a desk chair and exits the room. Peeta takes a seat in the chair and faces me. "I am so so sorry about him. As you may have noticed, he's a dickhead." I laugh.
"It's fine. I was wondering if you could help me with my homework. I have no idea what I'm doing and I think I was daydreaming most of these lessons."
"Yeah sure but one thing first: You think I'm hot?" he says with a smirk and I blush again "oh god I really, I... err...I'm sorry?" I say stumbling over my words and he laughs again. Oh his laugh is so sexy, "well?"
"Yes" I mumble so quietly I doubt he heard anything.
"What was that?" he says with a cheeky grin.
"Yes now can you please help me with my homework?" I plead
"Yeah sure"
He helps me with all my homework and I thank him a lot and then I remember about the cinema.
"Umm Peeta"
"Yeah"
"About the cinema. I can't really come my friend Gale is coming from Ohio on Sunday and I can't really ditch him but maybe one day after school this week?"
"Yeah that'd be cool but after the movie it will be late so you have to let me take you to dinner"
"Yeah I'd like that" I say with a smile.
"I've got to go, it's 11:45 and I have to work on a project with a beautiful girl tomorrow and I would hate to be late. 10:00 am right?"
"Yeah, seeya tomorrow"
"Bye" he says and blows me a kiss before turning off the camera. I sit staring at the computer that's probably as close as ill get to a real kiss with him but it's better than nothing.
I lie in bed thinking about Peeta. What does this boy do to me?
