A Never Ending Story ~Everlark~

Tomorrow

Katniss' POV~

"Just like you..." I hear a faint mumble
"Peeta I'm no where near perfect. You know it too." I say. I'm very stubborn, ugly, disgusting looking, very quiet, and I scare people. Who ever calls that perfect are crazy.
"Yes you are, your beautiful, yet stubborn, your crazy but serious, your quiet but a loud person when someone gets to know you. You are the definition of perfection so don't let your insecurities tell you different." He says very seriously. His eyes are locked on mine and all I can't even conjure up words of what to say back. I just nod and look down trying to hide my blush. He might be a stranger but I feel as if I have known him my whole life. I don't understand. Then something snaps me out of my thoughts.

"EARTH TO KATNISS" he waves his hand in front of my face yelling.
"Oh sorry what?" I say shaking my head.
"Can you hand me a plate, I have our bread and I made something for you also." I nod and grab him a big plate and set it on the counter. He takes the pans of our bread and one of these bun looking things, and sets them on the counter and begins putting them on the plate. He turns around and hands me a bun. I look at him with confusion.

"They are called "Cheese Buns". I hope you like it." He says. His eyes on me waiting for me to try it. I take a bite and immediately creamy cheese floods into my mouth. These are by far the best thing I have ever tasted.

"Peeta! These are amazing! Please make me some more sometime."
"I sure will. I'm glad you like them. Maybe I can teach you someday how to make them." He say and shrugs his shoulder.
"I can't wait for that day." I say with full blown excitement. I really think I'm going to enjoy working here. It will be a good learning experience and maybe I'll make a friend. I'm interrupted with my thoughts when his father comes in.

"You guys can have a break now. Only for 20 minutes though. I have 5 orders that need to be done by tomorrow evening, so I talked to the school. You guys will be off tomorrow to help me." As he says this I burst out in excitement.
"I will certainly help of it gets me out of school." As I say this regret it. I'm not so...open, nor am I ever really excited. I barley know these people yet I'm so attached. His father walks out and Peeta and I decide to go on a walk since it's nice out.
"Peeta can I stop at my house real quick? I want to change." I ask.
"Yeah sure I'll wait for you." As he says this I grab his hand, which sends chills up my spine, and lead him to my house. We get there and I turn around to see him smiling at our hands. Then I also realize I have one too.

"I'll be right back, I'll try and hurry." I say and run into my house so fast. I run into my room and decide to wear a really nice outfit. Ever since district 12 has been getting a bit more money, my family is able to afford better clothes. So I pick out sorta skinny navy blue jeans, a white sweater and wore my white flats. I took my hair out of the braid and let it hand down over my shoulders lose and wavy. I look in the mirror one last time and go outside. When I walk outside Peeta just stares at my outfit with wide eyes. Do I look bad or..? He shakes his head and takes my hand leading me somewhere

With what felt forever, we finally stop walking to find we are at the lake my dad used to always take me to. It's almost as beautiful as it was back then.

"I wanted to take you here cause this is my favorite spot to have breaks and just remove myself from the world." He says with a small smile.
"I didn't think anyone else knew about this place.." I say being honest. I have never seen anyone really come near the lake. It's always been quiet and instant from everyone which is part of the reason why I like it.
"Wait, you have been here before?"
"Yeah, ever since I was a young girl. My dad would always bring me here. He would teach how to shoot a bow, swim, hunt. Now I come here to get away from the world and just hunt." I say honestly.
"Wow, it's like we are the same." He says and lays down on the grass.
"I have been thinking the same thing too."

We sit there in silence and about 10 minutes later we go back. I just wish we could stay there forever. Just us. He understands me and just....I don't know I can't explain it.

When we get back to bakery we bake for a few hours until his father comes in and tells us we can finish more tomorrow since we are getting out of school. Peeta and I decide to go walk around explore 12. I never really saw the true Beauty of 12, I just always thought of it as a dirty, disgusting place. Recently I have been seeing a bit more of colors. Not a lot but a little. I used to see grey and only grey. Now I see a little more than that. I actually kinda like it, it's different. I like different.

We walk by the fence quietly just enjoy nature and the sunset. Peeta breaks the silence after a little.

"I don't really know you too much, I want to be friends but before we can be anything we need to get to know each other,"He says and laughs a little.
"We need to tell each other the deep stuff, ya know?" The deep stuff??
"The deep stuff...Uh oh, like what?"
"Well, like what's your favorite color?" He asks with a smile creeping on his face.
"Well now you stepped over the line." I say looking away. He laughs a bit.
"No, but seriously, what is it?" I look at him with a little smile.
"Green...what's yours?"
"Orange. Not like a bright orange but like, a sunset orange. Like the one we're looking at now. Not too bright, just perfect." I smile at his response. He's so perfect. Wait...what?

After a while we head back, he decides to walk me home just In case a creep is near by. We still walked hand in hand, do some reason I just didn't want to let go. We reach my house and I have to FORCE myself to let go of his hand.

"So...I'll see you tomorrow?" I ask
"Yeah, see you tomorrow..." He says and smiles. We look at each other for a few seconds and I wrap my arms around him. He is taken in shock and hugs back. I can tell he is smiling like an idiot and I realize, I am too. We pull back (unfortunately) and I say goodbye again and head inside. I squeal and run to my room. I flip on the bed.

I can't wait for tomorrow..😌
