I'll carry you home (Everlark)

Chapter 3: Gym class

Chapter 3

Katniss P.O.V.

"Okay class, coach Mellark and I have prepared different stations for you to try today", I say.

It's our first class in PE. Even here I have Prim in my class.

"The first one is spear throwing, but don't even dare to point at each other with them, there will be no tolerance whatsoever, you understand?" Peeta asks sternly.

The class nods. Wow he also know how to get respect.

"The second one is jumprope", I say. "And the third one is step-up, you step up and down on those and believe me, your legs will be sore after it".

"The forth station is a collaborative exercise. You'll be six in each group and you all have to fit on that chair, meaning everyone has to have at least one foot on it", Peeta says. "And that's hard".

"The fifth and last station is archery, now the same rule applies here, no pointing at each other!" I say.

The class chuckles a little before they start going to the stations.

I see how Prim grab Rue's and Rory's hands and drag them away with her to the archery station. When they're there, she looks around and finds me.

"Katniss can you come and show us?" She asks.

I nod and walk up to them. Peeta follows. I take up a bow and some arrows.

"Peeta can you throw up those birds in the air?" I ask pointing at the bucket.

He frowns but does what I asked. He throws one up and I shoot it in the eye, it falls down.

"Wow", Rue says.

"Take two now", I say.

He throws up two birds and I shoot them both.

"What the...?!" Rory mumbles.

"Now like six, seven", I say.

Peeta looks really surprised but does as I told him. One after one he throws them up and I shoot them all.

They plop down on the floor one after another.

"Have you done this before?" Peeta asks.

"Well I was an archery champion in my teenage years, so yeah", I chuckle.

"That's soooooo cool ms Everdeen", Rue says in awe.

I smile and shrug my shoulder.

"My sister is cool!" Prim says proudly.

I'm about to say something when a small group of students calls
my name.

I look and see that it's the group that are trying to stand on the chair.

I laugh at the sight of them as I jog my way up to them. They look so funny the way they're trying to cling onto each other. But one of them is still on the floor.

"Remember that everyone needs to at least touch the chair with its toes", I say.

"How are we gonna do that, the five of us are already on the chair", a boy says. "And we barley fit".

"Well you could carry this young girl but she has to touch the chair with her toe".

"Okay well Nathan carry Sammi, you're the strongest one", a girl says.

This Nathan kid nods. And I watch how Sammi walks up to Nathan and the others grab hold onto each other as they grip onto Nathan so he can grab Sammi with both of his hands and pull her up. They're all about to fall down when he bends a bit but they manage to say on the chair. Some of them with only one foot.

Nathan takes a hold of Sammie and carries her up. And like a ballerina she touch the chair with her toe.

"You did it guys!" I cheer and applaud.

They smile and laugh. The rest of the class looks at them and applauds as well. The group on the chair looks pretty happy with themselves.

"Not that easy huh?" Peeta asks as he comes up to us.

"No coach Mellark, you were right it's harder than it seems", Sammi says as they all try to pry themselves out of the dough they've become.

"That's why you have to work with each other", I say. "Which was the whole meaning with this exercise".

They nod. When the class is over they all run to the locker rooms to shower and change.

Peeta and I stay behind of course, to take everything away.

"I didn't know you could shoot", Peeta says as we take down the archery station.

"Well there is a lot you don't know about me mr Mellark", I giggle. "I'm full of secrets".

"Oh is that so?" He asks. "Well I've decided to find out every single one of them".

I raise my eyebrow and looks at Peeta with an amused smile. I can't tell if he's serious though.

Peeta starts walking around in the room, cleaning up as I look at him. God he's hot. The way his muscles moves as he stretches his arms. His back, and my god his jaw! I don't even wanna think of what might be hiding under Peeta's shirt, because if I do, I might start drooling.

I can't believe what's happening. I've never been like this about a guy before. Never. It's just... Peeta, there's something really special about him.

"Are you gonna help me or what?" Peeta asks.

I giggle and run up to him.

"Of course, how else are you going to find out all of my secrets?" I ask slyly.

Peeta chuckles.

This year is going to be interesting.
