Love Story (Everlark Fanfiction)

Lets Keep it Quiet

*** Katniss POV ***

I wake up and feel as if I was different. I really want to see Peeta. I need to tell him our friendship must be kept quiet. I won't hide our friendship at school but I won't tell or show any emotion towards him around my parents and his. I really care for him. He is my best friend and I couldn't stay away from him even if I wanted to. I turn to see my clock. It reads 5:00 am and I usually wake up at 6:00 am. I decide to start getting ready because sleeping will be difficult for me now and I already had eight hours of sleep. I want to get to school early and talk to Peeta before classes.

I walk to my bathroom which is inside my huge bedroom. I put the water warm since outside is chilly. We are in the middle of September and I feel as if winter will come early this year which is great since I love Christmas and New Year. I love the Christmas Carols, the gifts, the food, the family time, the new clothes, and the reason for the celebration but I prefer New Year's Eve because I also wear new cloth, I love the food, I get to see fireworks, and I feel as if a New Year means new beginnings and renovation.

I finish my twenty minute shower and move to my room. I see that surprisingly my cloth is already in my bed. I always knew that Cinna liked to see if I was awake early to set me my cloth on time but I never thought he will be so fast at choosing cloth. I look at the beautiful outfit. It is a soft green dress with flowers and a pair of green ballerinas. I get dressed in ten minutes and decide to braid my hair myself. I start doing a side braid because I am too lazy to make my usual two braids. I don´t care if it looks different in me because as I said before I feel different today.

I am quite scared of what could be the result of keeping a secret like this one but I am not gonna be a coward and runaway if they find out. I am going to stand up for Peeta and myself. I look in the mirror and I am happy with my side braid. It looks good. Maybe that change is good. I am changing in attitude, personality, so why not looks? I smile at my reflection and make some funny faces out of boredom. When I turn to my clock. It says 5:35 am. Maybe I should go downstairs and see if Flavius needs help in anything. I like to cook even though I can only cook eggs and cereal, if cereal counts as cooking.

"Good morning!" I say entering the kitchen. To my surprise, breakfast was already served but only for one person. "Hello my dear!" Flavius says as he notices me. "Why is breakfast served?" I ask. "Well Cinna told us that you were awake so we decided to prepare everything for." he says smiling at me. "Well thank you!" I say smiling and starting to eat my delicious fruit salad and drink my tea. When I finish eating I go to brush my teeth and I notice it is only 6:00 am. I hear Venia is waking Prim up and I decide to use my iPad for a while. At 6:30 my whole family is ready. We get into dad´s car and talk a bit about yesterday's trip to the meadow. When we go to school my dad takes my Little Duck to her class and mom takes me to mine. This only happens once every week. "See you at supper." she says and kisses my forehead when we reach my class. "See you mom!" I say and hug her.

It is 6:45 and I finally see a boy with ocean blue eyes and dirty blond hair walk by. I run up to him and call his name. He turns and smiles but then he acts as if he reminded something and changes his happy expression to a worried one. I run up to him and say "We need to talk." What surprises me is that we said it in unison. "No you first." we say in unison yet again. "Okay!" we say in unison for the third time. We both burst out laughing and when we finish we are out of breath. "Okay now let me talk please." I say giggling. "Okay" he says giving me a small smile. I explain him all that happened yesterday, from when I had to leave the school to when my dad not didn´t tell me why the Mellark family is filled up with hypocrites. He didn't seem surprised so I just look at him a bit shocked. "That is what I wanted to tell you." he says and tells me how his brothers told him that our friendship was dangerous and why our families were enemies. The hate began because my great great great grandaunt Lily Everdeen committed suicide after his great great great granduncle John Mellark cheated on her. As a result, the Everdeens started hating the Mellarks cause they blamed John for making Lily commit suicide but the Mellarks said it was Lily´s fault that John killed himself. This hate seems so stupid! All of this happened centuries ago! Well maybe century and a half but I am not sure so...
