"Well..." Peeta starts, oh gosh what if he doesn't feel the same way! Why did I invite him over? Why did I ask him how he felt about it!

"Ok I know I'm going to regret saying this but here goes nothing..." shit! Ok please don't be a total disaster.

"Honestly I did feel something, like fireworks go off, and I know you probably don't feel the same way but-" I cut him off by crashing our lips together.

Then I feel the fireworks go off again along with a whole zoo in my belly.

I run my hands through his thick blonde hair, and he grabs my waist pulling me closer.

I feel his tongue on my bottom lip asking for an entrance, which I gladly except. Our tongues exploring each other's mouths and our hands exploring each other's bodies.

We soon need air so we both pull away. Our foreheads are touching and I'm smiling like crazy.

"I do feel the same way" I say softly.

Right there right now, I think screw it. Who cares what people think about us. I want to be happy, and Peeta makes me really happy.

"Good to know." He smiles even bigger if that's even possible.

"I should get going I don't want to be late my family invited me to dinner." He says,

"Ok bye," I tell him.

I make my way down stairs and go to bed with a huge smile on my face.

*NEXT MORNING*
I wake up and get dressed and put on my makeup.

I don't think I have time for breakfast so I'll just skip it

I don't think I have time for breakfast so I'll just skip it.

I spot the group and head that way.

"Looking good kat" Gale states while looking me up and down.

"Gee thanks that would mean a lot if it weren't from you." I fake smile

"What that supposed to mean?" Gale says clearly angry.

"Oh nothing" and with that I walk away and look for Peeta.

I find him and as always he looks really cute today.

I walk over to him from behind and hug his waist. He jumps a little but then realizes it's me.

"Why hello there" he greets me.

"Hi there" I smile

He looks a bit nervous and his ears are slightly pink, which make him even more cute if that's even possible.

"I need to ask you something..." he shyly says.

"Alright then go ahead" please don't be bad, maybe he changed his mind

"Well...would you...umm...like to... you know... go...on one of those... things...two people go on...when they...sort of... like each other?"
He stutters, a LOT.

I raise my eyebrow and smile.

"You mean a date?" I ask

He nods quickly still blushing a bit. I giggle a little.

"Well Mr. Mellark, I would love to go on one of those."

He lets out a sigh of relief, and smiles

"Is 6 ok?"

"Yup it's fine with me. I can't wait!" I smile

We walk to class hand in hand and earn a lot of whispers and glares. But who cares.

When we get there I sit next to Peeta instead of with my group of friends I hope they'll understand. I mean we aren't official yet but we are going on a date.

Class is really boring and next is lunch yay, my favorite class.

Peeta and I collect our things and walk to the lunch room.

"So do you want to come sit with my friends and I" I ask hoping he'll say yes.

He's hesitant but then nods, so we go to my usual table and sit down.

Everyone sort of just gives Peeta dirty looks. I should have seen this coming. He's not popular and almost everyone dislikes him.

"So what are you doing here nerd?" Marvel speaks up. He's clearly not to smart since all he could think of is the word nerd

"Just eating and sitting" Peeta replies, he's actually not trying to be sarcastic or rude but what else is he supposed to say.

"And why here may I ask" Gale asks.

Before Peeta could say anything I speak up.

"Peeta is sitting here because I asked him too. And if any of you have a problem with it that's fine, we will get up and leave. But Peeta will be sitting here from now on, you will be nice to him or you can find yourself another female leader!" By the end of it in yelling. Wow that felt good to get off my chest.

Everyone in the cafeteria stares at me, and everyone at the table stays quiet.

"Now if you'll please let me resume eating, Thank You." I give off a fake smile.

Peeta smiles towards me and I nod back telling him it's ok.

*AFTER SCHOOL*
Oh my gosh I need to get ready for my date with Peeta!
