Chapter 19

Peeta's P.O.V.

Beep-beep. Beep-beep. Beep-beep.

I hit my hand onto my alarm clock. I groan as I turn over from my side to my back. I pull my fingers through my hair as I groan again. My head hurts.

I open my eyes and stare up at the white ceiling, still with my hand on my head.

A cool breeze flows inside my room from the open window, beside my bed. I hear the light sound of the birds, and the sun is lighting up my entire room, bringing up the blue color on my walls.

The sun makes my head pound even harder.

I turn back to my side and open my nightstand drawer. I have a pack of aspirins you chew on instead of swallow. I take one and put it in my mouth. My whole mouth gets filled with an bitter awful taste that makes me want to throw up. But I swallow it all and throw the cover off me and sit up at the edge of the bed.

I pull my fingers through my hair again and slowly raise my head to see what time it is. But something else catches my eyes. I see my script, lying on my nightstand.

I can't believe it. Katniss was sooo close at finding out that I like her. When I came home and saw that she was on the second last page in my script my heart almost stopped. On the last page I've made a heart and put Katniss name in it.

That's super girly, I know, I know. But it's only one heart and not millions of them.

I've felt drawn to Katniss almost since I first saw her. But the moment I realized that I really like her was when she stood up against Ella during rehearsal.

I'm in love with Katniss Everdeen, and she doesn't know it. Finnick and the guys knows it, they kinda figured it out when I couldn't keep my eyes off her. But the girls doesn't know anything, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I sigh and stand up, still with my head pounding so hard. It's Monday, so I have to get dressed, walk down, eat breakfast with the others, before we drive to school, to start another week.

Usually I like to start new weeks. It's new possibilities to do things you wanted to do the week before. New possibilities to do things better. Now I just don't feel so happy about it. I feel miserable. I want to tell Katniss about my feelings but I can't. We just now started talking to each other like real people. She just now started calling me Peeta instead of Mellark. I can't just tell her  that I'm in love with her, get turned down and continue on with life as always. No no, never happening.

I pick out a pair of clothes. Something simple. A pair of black jeans, an orange tight t-shirt and a black leather jacket. I put some wax in my hair and stir it around in a mess. I put my sunglasses on top of my head. I put on a pair of green converse.

When I'm ready to walk down to the others, I feel that my head is pounding a little less, so it's on it's way back to normal. I hope.

I hear the others when I walk down the stairs. I also feel a bitter sticky smell of burnt pancakes. When I reach the end of the stairs the fire alarm goes off.

I run into the kitchen, finding everyone coughing. It's hard to see. Thick smoke is filling the whole kitchen, making it pretty hard to breathe. Annie is trying to reach the fire alarm that's giving away a very loud ear cracking sound and Katniss is throwing the pan in the sink, scraping something off it.

"Seriously Katniss! Don't ever try to cook again!" Cato coughs.

God I can't think with the alarm going crazy, ruining my ears.
