Love Story (Everlark Fanfiction)

You're Not Alone

*** Peeta's POV ***

Kat and I are in my car. I can't help but smile at the fact that I can finally call her my girlfriend. We are finally together and I am sure our love can overcome anything. I know she is passing through a tough time with her mother pressuring her to date the jerk of Gale, Gale bothering her every time he sees her, Cashmere calling her worthless, and having to lie every time about our relationship to her family. I know this because I can see the tiredness and anxiety in her eyes. I want her to know she is not alone. She has me, Prim and our friends. We all love and care for her. Specially me. 

I have my problems too. I have a long list of problems to be honest but I know how to ignore them. Between them are the facts the my mom beats me and that I lie to my dad about my friends. I stress too but I can feel calmer just by seeing my beautiful Katniss. Only thinking of her can calm me down. She is my everything and that will never change.

"Babe?" I hear Katniss' sweet voice saying. I feel happiness flowing through my veins whenever she calls me that. "Yes love?" I say smiling. "I know we are going to play sick today but can we have Literature? I really want to know which book are we reading." she replies. "Anything you want." I say parking my car. I get out of the car and go to Katniss' side to open her door. She deserves to be treated as a princess. "Ooh! My man is a gentleman." she says kissing my cheek. I chuckle and kiss her lips quickly while listening to the bell ring.

"Time for class!" I say smiling. I offer her my hand and she takes it with no hesitation. We walk through the still empty hallways hand in hand heading to our lockers. Thank God we are locker neighbors. We take out our Literature notebooks and place them in our respective backpacks. 

"We still have five minutes." Kat says taking my hand. I smile and say "So what does my princess wants to do?" She doesn't answer instead just closes her eyes, leans in and kisses me. I close my eyes too and smile through the kiss. I can't be happier... she puts her arms around my neck and I put mines on her waist. I love her and nothing can come between us. I feel like if I am on top of the world when I am kissing her. She completes me. I didn't notice she is my missing half until today when we kissed earlier. I want to kiss her for the rest of my life, I want to die with her lips pressed against mine.

The bell goes off again which means the hallways will be crowded in a matter of seconds so we pull apart. I can see disappointment in her eyes. I know she wanted to kiss me for a longer time but we don't wanna be the type of couple that go around kissing. We want to keep our affection to ourselves and only our closest friends will know. This includes only Finnick and Annie. They are our best friends and that will never change. We have been together through thick and thin. We care for each other like family.

"Good morning Mrs.Trinket" I say "Please call me Effie. Mrs.Trinket sound too serious and I want you to think of me as a friend and this class as something fun." she says. "Well, good morning Effie." Kat and I say in unison. We choose sits in the front row and talk for a while. Five minutes later everybody is in and Mrs.Trinket; sorry I mean Effie says "Well this two weeks will be reading a famous book by William Shakespeare. Can any of you guess which one? The clue is star-crossed." "Romeo and Juliet" Katniss and I say in unison. "Correct" she answers in her peculiar accent. "Now would anyone give me a synopsis of this wonderful tragedy?" she continues. Katniss and I look at each other, their situation is really similar to ours. That's why we liked to play to be them when we were little.

"You have ten minutes to write a synopsis about this story. It won´t be graded but the best two will get this hour free." she says smiling. I look at Kat and see she just began writing so I do the same. I look at the clock and see only five minutes have pass when I see Kat stand up and hand her work. "Good job you're free." I can hear Effie say after reading it. Just after she said this I finish writing my work and I stand up to hand it. I notice Kat is standing near the door frame waiting for me I guess. Effie finishes reading my synopsis of the book and says "You may leave Mr.Mellark. Stop writing is no use now class." she says smiling at me.
