Finding a dandelion in the snow

Chapter 9: More notes

Chapter 9

Katniss P.O.V.

It's hectic in school right now since it's winter break in a few weeks. A lot things has to be done by then. And all other can focus on is Sam's cute daughter. Peeta and I are over there everyday, visiting Babygirl. Yeah she still hasn't gotten a name. Apparently is much harder than it seems to finalise a name for a baby. Some people one before the child is born. Some think they know but when they see the baby they change their minds. And some simply wait until they see the baby to decide. But for Sam and Kathy is really hard.

We've all come with name suggestions for the baby but Sam and Kathy wrinkles their noses at every name we come up with. Even Kathy's favorite name, Elizabeth. "She's not an Elizabeth, I don't know what she is, but not an Elizabeth", she said when Peeta said it. I don't know when they'll name the kid, but it has to be before she starts school, she can't be five, got it school and waiting to hear her name being called like "Babygirl?" And she goes, "I'm here!" Poor girl, poor poor girl. For now it's cute, Babygirl, but come on.

"WATCH OUT!" I hear someone roar and I look up to see a water balloon come flying towards me.

I jump to the side and just barely escape it. Instead it hits a teacher. When the yellow liquid inside the balloon colors the teachers white shirt, I understand that it's a urine balloon not water.

Oh God.

"Who threw it?!" The teacher demands.

As it turns out it was a poor freshmen who threw it and he threw it at the schools strictest teacher. Poor kid. I feel bad for him, the kid, and I guess the teacher as well. But better the teacher than me, and I was the balloons target from start.

I walk up to the kid, who's now being scolded by the teacher.

"Why did you threw it at me huh? Don't think I don't know that I was the target", I say and the teacher becomes silent.

He gets a look on his face, like h3s trying to remember what actually happened the seconds before he got covered in urine.

"I was told to", the kid says.

"By who?" I narrow my eyes. I hate it when people try to blame others for what they did. "No one can make you do something you don't want to do".

"But they did make me", he says. "I swear, I didn't want to".

"So you don't have a brain of your own?" I ask. Usually I'm understanding, but not when people try to blame others, I think that's one of the lowest things you can do, because like I said, no one can force someone to do something they don't want to do. "No willpower? You can't say no?"

The boy looks ashamed so I just decide to not push it any further even though I'm so angry. If you can't say no, you're a coward in my mind. I don't respect cowards.

"Katniss you okay?" I hear behind me and the second later a strong pair of arms wraps around me.

I lean back into Peeta's embrace. "I'm fine", I say.

"Of course you are", mr Andersen says. "I'm the one covered in pee!" I bite my lip to stop myslef from starting to laugh. He turns to the freshmen boy. "Oh lord have mercy, you're punishment is going to be so long you'll be 22 when you're out of detention!"

I feel sorry for the boy but not a lot. Fact remains that that pee filled balloon was meant to hit me. But since I've got a talent of being really fast I escaped it at the last second. Thank God for that. But poor mr Andersen right now.

"You tell us right now who told you to throw that balloon", I say.

The boy keeps his mouth shut tight. He doesn't want to say. Mr Andersen realizes the same thing. He grabs the boys arm and take him away.

I sigh.

"Who wants to see me covered in pee? I try not to make anyone angry, I try so hard to be kind to everyone", I say sad. "I thought I was".

"You are baby, you're the kindest of us all here at this high school", Peeta says. "So don't even believe for a second you're not".

But Peeta is my boyfriend. He's supposed to say kind things to me. But why would he lie to me? Peeta isn't a liar.

I sigh and nods.

Peeta kisses my forehead. "Are you coming to lunch?"

"Yes, I'm just gonna go put these stuff into my locker and than I'll be right with you", I say.

"Okay, hurry baby", Peeta says.

"I will", I say and leave Peeta.

I quickly run up to my locker and open it. Five notes flies out of my locker. I swear and throw my books into my locker, angrily. I bend down and pick up the damn notes and read them. Threathing notes. Again. I get them daily now. And more threatening than before. I throw the notes onto my locker and slam the locker lid shut. I've got a lump in my throat and I'm keeping myself from starting to cry. It's hard but I'm not gonna start crying here at school. The one who's sending me the notes could be watching me right this second and I'm not gonna give them the satisfaction.

I walk away from my locker and towards the cafeteria where the others are. I meet them and eat lunch. I  don't have much appetite right now though but I eat anyways. I feel lime throwing it all up.

I try not to let the rest know I'm not okay at the moment. I try to look happy and I try to laugh and joke. But it's hard.

I pressured that boy to tell me which sent him to throw that pee balloon becsuse it was probably the same who are writing me the notes.

I wish that people these people could just leave me alone.
