KATNISS POV

"Peeta" I whisper softly, shaking his shoulders slightly. "Wake up we're here" I say unbuckling my seat belt and leaning over to wake a sleeping a Prim. She groans at me but stops when she realises where we are. It takes a little longer to wake Peeta but eventually he comes around. By the time we arrive at our hotel it is 1:00pm so we decide to head straight out for lunch seeing as we were all starving from no food since 4 am. We leave our things in the car and walk across the road to a small cafe called 'Rue's'. We enter and are greeted by a warm smell of cakes and sandwiches and the bustling noise of people talking and laughing over lunch. We grab a table and sit down. A young girl of about 12 walks over to us and shyly asks for our drink orders. After we have given her our orders she scurries off to the side of the bar where an older women is preparing drinks. I watch as the young girl tells her our orders and the women smiles softly before sending her out to other tables. They look so much alike I assume they are mother and daughter.

"What you looking at?" Peeta whispers in my ear making me jump.

"Oh my god Peeta, nothing just her and the young girl look alike" I say pointing to them both. He looks over and nods in agreement before looking away again as she is approaching us with our drinks.

"3 lemonades, a pint of beer and some coke?" She asks checking it's for us.

"Yes thank you" dad says with his warm smile.

I sneek a look at the women's name tag and see her name is Rue. This must be her place I think sipping my drink. The young girl approaches us again whilst her mother is still with us and asks for our order. I take a look at her name tag and see it is also Rue. Must be a family name.

"And you mam?" She asks looking at me. I snap out of my daydream and ask for a chicken salad and chips.

"So what are we up to tonight?" Prim asks excitedly.

"We'll I think today we will just be unpacking and settling in, maybe going out for dinner this evening and maybe some bowling?" Dad says looking at mum for some conformation.

"Yeh that's sounds good" she replies sipping her drink.

Within minutes our food has arrived and I dig in hungrily, shutting my rumbling stomach.

"This is so good" I say and look at everyone else who is to busy shovelling food in there mouths to reply to me.

After lunch we pay the bill and I make sure to leave extra for the young girl who served us. As we leave I make a mental note to come back at some point and ask about the name and the family.

Weed back across the street to our hotel and grab our bags from the car. We all wait impatiently in reception as dad checks us in to all our rooms. Me and Peeta share, mum and dad share and Prim gets her own room but it's attached to mine and Peetas so if she needs anything we are close. We head to our rooms, dragging our bags behind us and slump down on the bed.

"Even though I haven't done anything I'm so tired" I huff as I place my bag on the bed.

"Me to" Peeta says shutting his eyes.

"You had a sleep on the way here" I say slapping his arm playfully.

I lay back on the bed as he begins to take out things from his bag like his laptop and washbag.

"I'm just going to have a quick shower" he says walking over to the shower room.

I take my own laptop out and plug in the charger. I find the wifi code hidden under some leaflets and connect to the internet. I check all my social medias like twitter and Facebook until Peeta eventually comes out of the bathroom.

"My turn!" I shout grabbing my things and locking the door before he can go back in there for something.

I stand under the hot running water for a good 10 minutes just letting it run over my cold body. It's even colder here than it is in 12. I change into some jeans and a nice jumper, and seeing as we were going to be going out I curl the end of my hair loosely and apply some makeup. Once I look decent I emerge from the bathroom and see that Peeta isn't here. I look around the room and see he is out on the balcony.

" what you doing?" I ask plopping down next to him.

" not a lot" he says back, turning to look at me.

I decide to take my phone out and check Instagram. I notice I haven't posted in weeks and decide that this is the perfect opportunity to take a picture.

"Take a pic with me?" I ask, turning the camra to face us.

He smiles and moves closer as I take the picture. It's perfect enough so I post it without anything on it. I tag him and lock my phone contemplating what to do next.

Just as I was about to start a conversation I hear banging on the door and sigh as I get up to answer it.

"I'm comming!" I shout at the person banging on the door.

I open it and see prim standing there smiling.

"What's up?" I ask her opening the door so she can come in.

She looks absolutely giddy she is so happy. She sits on the bed but then gets up again and starts to fidget.

"Prim, what's up" I ask her getting annoyed she hasn't said anything yet.

"Finch asked me out!" She shouted, just as Peeta walked back in the room. He hears the news and slowly backs out again so he doesn't get involved in the gossip.

"What!?" I all I can mange to say.
