Ashlin Everdeen (Peeta Mellark love story)

Ashley's POV

"Ashley!"

"Ashlin Everdeen!" The voice of my best friend and the pink pink of tiny stones hitting my window woke me. I shook my head and walked over to my window sliding it up, I stuck my head out.

"Peeta Mellark, do you know what my mom would do if she knew that you didn't wanna say hi to her?" I laughed, and my sister, Katniss , stirred in the bed on the other side of the room.

"I'll be right in!" Peeta yelled up to me. I nodded and quickly put my window back down, rushing to get my clothes. I grabbed my new drawing to show Peeta and quickly fixed my hair in a down braid, like Katniss dose her's. Me and Katniss are a year apart, she seventeen, I'm sixteen, and our little sister Primrose is twelve this year. Our mom and Prim both have blonde hair and pale blue eyes. Me and Katniss have dark brown hair, but Katniss has hazel, almost grey eyes, and mine are deep honey brown. Once I was ready, I almost hopped the small stairs two at a time, Katniss wasn't far from me. There weren't many stairs, only about six. We do live in the seam after all. The only reason we have upstairs is because we used to be a family of five, and that requires a little bit more space.

"Excited to see your boyfr-"

"He is not my boyfriend Katniss, he's my best friend." I said with a stern look.

"If you say so Ash." We laughed, Katniss was terrible with teasing me over Peeta. I do have a huge crush on him though...I'm so in love with him. He's my best friend and I don't think I could tell him though...just like Katniss can't admit to Gale.

"Oh,well...what about Gal-"

"Ashlin Everdeen, don't dare finish that sentence." Katniss gripped.

"Okay....how about a shooting contest today? The loser tell's the boy how she feels." I said with a smirk.

"Okay...what about a tie? And how many animals?" My sister and I got a similar look on our faces when we made a bet like this.

I smiled, "If its a tie...we promise each other that we'll tell. And two squirrels and a Turkey."

"Deal!" She smiled and we both gave a nod.

      I smiled walking into the kitchen and seeing Peeta talking to my mom about bringing some bread in. It was cheese crust bread, Peeta handed me a piece as I walked to them. I smiled and took a bite, "Ummm, so good. Thanks Peeta." I gave him a wink without thinking and his face became a little pink. I also blushed a little, but looked down so no one could see. Prim did, but, she didn't say anything, and I mouthed 'thank you', to my younger sister.

"Katniss, lets not talk about it...okay? Not today...maybe the day before." My mom said, I made my way back to the kitchen and saw the weary looks, reaping day was next week.

"Better to discuss it now then later mom." I said, Peeta and Katniss nodded, but mom looked at Prim. "Or not...how about the day before?" I suddenly changed my tone and walked over to Prim, who looked terrified.

"Hey little ducky, wanna go with me to The Hob before me and Katniss go with the boys?" I asked, she smiled at me and nodded.

"You sure?" She asked, I looked at mom.

"Your coming too mom?" I asked, and she smiled at how safe I made Prim feel and she nodded.

As we walked to The Hob me and Peeta talked and I showed him my drawing, it was him. He was outside the bakery just watching it rain, his eyes were locked on the woods, and there was me also, but you could only see my eyes and my bow. Peeta smiled at it, his dirty blonde hair, and light honey brown eyes were driving me nuts.
