In The Moment- Everlark

Chapter 5: early

PEETA POV:

I am a very confused person. So Katniss doesn't remember me and she hates me because I won't back off or whatever, but we are friends?

But then if she remembers me, she will remember that I used to like her. Then will it be awkward. Actually she may not find out I like her.

My friends at my old school in district 12 said it was so obvious but only she couldn't see it.

And then I moved near Finnick. I have to admit it was a complete coincidence that we became friends.

I remember the first day at school where I met Tyler and Annie. They are brother and sister. Together we all went to the music block for a laugh and Finnick dared me to sing a song.

I picked up a guitar and started singing. The next day there were loads of whispers in the corridors.

When I found Finnick, Annie and Tyler were standing by their lockers they were laugh. Tyler is actually the one who started my music career. His dad is my manager. And he posted the video of me singing on YouTube. One whole year later I have a music career.

And we'll Finnick he technically lives off his parents but we laugh about that. I don't live at all off my parents. My parents... I don't want to talk about them. No one knows why apart from Katniss. And she doesn't remember. For now.

I only just realised that the Harry Potter movie has ended and the credits are being shown.

I'm about to sit up when I realise Katniss has fallen asleep on me. Finnick and Annie are asleep as well. And Tyler has fallen asleep on Katniss.

I think he likes Katniss to much. Or am I being paranoid. Yep I think I am she doesn't even know him. Anyway why do I care. I don't like Katniss like that anymore... Or do I?

I want to get up but I don't want to wake Katniss. I really want a drink. I carefully get up and move Katniss to make sure she is leaning on Finnick instead. I then creep to the kitchen.

I pour a glass of water and sit at the kitchen counter next to a little lamp that gives off a soft dim glow of light. I hear something move in the other room and I freeze at what I'm doing. I notice a someone walk into the kitchen but I can't see who it is because it's dark.

"Boo." I hear Katniss say.
"Hi." I smile even though she can't see me.

A couple minutes later we are both sitting at the kitchen counter, both drinking tea and laughing over some stupid thing that I did last week.

KATNISS POV:

We both start to stop laughing. I quite like this little chat. I needed it. I find talking helps. A lot. And I need to laugh. I havnt done that in a while.

The dim lamp only gives off enough light so I can't see Peeta's face. He's smiling right now. I guess I am too.
"What time is it?" He asks. I move my arm to in front of me and pretend to see and imaginary watch.
"Very funny." Peeta says then pauses. "You used to do that a lot... Before."

I laugh and take a sip of my tea and Peeta does the same.
"Tell me more about myself, when I was with you." I say.
"I don't get it. You can remember everything apart from the places we were together and me altogether." He says like he's trying to figure something out.

"The weirdest part is you could be an axe murder and I would have no idea. The only thing that makes me think your not is Finnick." I blurt out. Peeta laughs.
"Well I'm not a murder, so your safe." He says. "We used to do this a lot though."
"Do what? Drink tea and laugh?" I ask.
"Pretty much." He replies. "Though we used to be in the middle of a convocation and one of my brothers would interrupt."
I laugh. I can just about picture it.
