Two worlds (Everlark)

Chapter 22: Rehearsing

Chapter 22

Katniss P.O.V.

It never hit me before how good friends Peeta and Finnick actually are. Peeta told me that Finnick is his very best friend. He's always felt like half and with Finnick he feels whole. It's the same thing for me with Annie. She's my other half, my best friend, the one that I share all my secrets with. It's like we become one person when we're together.

I don't know if all best friends feels that way. It's a special bond really, and I don't know if everyone have that kind of bond to someone.

After yesterday I got a whole new view of Peeta and so much respect. Not everyone would have done what he did. Risk his career to start school so he could be close to his family when his uncle was dying.

I've never felt so bad about myself. Not ever. I feel like such a horrible person. I did all of that to Peeta when he came here, and all this time he's been this sweet, caring and kind person.

I don't know why I did what I did. I was so certain he was a bad person. I really have to stop judging people before I know them.

I'm gonna start a new life where I'm a kind person. Not that I'm mean to exactly everyone. But... Whatever.

The group wanted to rehears today. Effie gave us all homework until next class where we are supposed to know all of the lines to scene 5. Everyone in the group are with and a few of the other students in the drama class.

So we're currently in the park, rehearsing. I'm sitting in the green grass watching the boys play around. They wanted a break.

There are a lot of people in the park this sunny afternoon. Kids with their parents having picking. Kids playing around with their dogs and friends. Love birds sitting on blankets in the grass, cuddling. Old people walking on the path, holding each other's hands.

It's a nice day to be out in the park today. A lot of happy and energetic people. A lot of birds singing and flying around.

Annie is laughing beside me, I look up at the guys again and see that Peeta and Finnick has started to wrestle. And by the looks of it, Peeta is winning big time.

Finnick's head turns red as he's trying to defeat Peeta, and he's really making an effort, but Peeta seems to handle him without making too much effort. Either he's used to wrestling or he just so much stronger then Finnick, and Finnick is really strong. Soon Finnick's on the ground and Peeta is holding him down on his back.

Gale throws himself down on his stomach and hits his hand on the ground beside them.

"1! 2! 3! 4! 5! You're out!"

Everyone starts laughing and cheer on Peeta for winning. I didn't know he could wrestle. Now that I think about it, I don't know a whole lot about Peeta. Yesterday was a shock for me. To know the real reason Peeta even came here.

I shudder at the thought. Annie looks at me with a frown. I just shake my head.

I stand up and brush my hands together to get the grass off my hands.

"Hey are we going to rehears or what?" I ask, walking up to the boys with the girls following me. "Are you done goofing around?"

"Who's goofing around?" Peeta asks with a sly expression on his face.

Before I have to point out that his sly expression makes me suspicious, he lifts me off the ground and heaves me up on his shoulder with my face facing his back.

"Peeta let me down!" I shout laughing.

I hit my fists into his back, but not hard enough to hurt him.
