 i came down the steps and was met by Effie.

"you did it darling you did incredible" we walked down the corridor but stopped.

"nice job sweet heart" Haymitch clapped i smiled

"nice dress too" he turned to Effie "yours not so much"   she hit his chest.

"please welcome Peeta Mellark" i turned to the tv on the wall watching him (on the side)

"so Peeta tell me is there a special girl back home" Ceaser asked i felt my heart pick up in anticipation

"no, not really"

"i don't believe that for a second look at that handsome face. Peeta tell me"

"well there is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever but i don't think she proper recognised me till the reaping." i felt my heart become heavy.

"well I'll tell you what Peeta. you go out there and win this thing  and when you get back she'll have to go out with you. right folks" the crowd yeah but the sadness didn't leave his face.

"thanks but i don't think winning's gonna help me at all"

"and why not"

"because she came here with me" i was shocked my heart was racing he liked me as in really like me.

"well that's bad luck. Peeta Mellark...district 12" the crowd cheered i stood there in shock and Peeta came back in and he saw me.

"Lil"

"i um i..." i stuttered "i gotta go" i mumbled gathering my dress and leaving.

god i was such a idiot why did i just leave him i thought as i laid in bed that night i sighed getting to and slipping into a cardigan. i walked past the living room and something or rather someone caught my eye.

"you too" i said approaching him

"hey" he smiled at me

"can't sleep?" i questioned

"no of course not" i stopped in front of him

"I'm sorry i just left...you caught me by surprise" i looked down.

"its fine" i sat with him and held onto my legs.

"did you mean what you said...with the whole crush thing or was it just to get sponsors" i had to know whether to blush and be happy or keep on whishing.

"i meant it Lilly Pad i really do like you" i bushed hiding my  face. he chuckled  when i cooled down i looked back up.

"Peeta will you promise me something." i asked

"sure"

"if you win this and become victor will you tell my family, Katniss and Primrose that i love them"

"only if you tell my dad the same" i nodded

"and I'll give your Mum a piece of my mind. that's something else you do if you win don't take her crap anymore"

"I'll do that"

"Peeta....I'm...scared" i whispered he shuffled over and hugged me i leaned into his chest.

"we all are."

"i don't want to die" we sat there for a while before  i began to yawn and stood up as did he

"night Peeta" i smiled at him.

"night Lilly Pad" i began to walk away but stopped. 'i may die tomorrow and if that's the case' i ran back and smashed my lips into his he kissed back just as powerful as i did. i ended the kiss  and breathed heavily before i squeaked and ran off.

best first kiss ever!
