Chapter 44: What?!

Katniss' POV!

Our family issues are getting better. I'm walking to the bakery to buy some bread. No one is in the bakery. But when I see a girl come in, she looks familiar. Though I've never met or seen her. I see Peeta at the cashier looking down. He asks what she would like. She answers cupcake but says it with an English accent. He sighs. He doesn't like those people. He thinks they're too body. Then he asks for last name. She says Mellark. Wait, Mellark! Then he looks up and smiles. He runs over to her and hugs her they starts screaming with joy. And hugging. What the heck is going on?

Peeta's POV!

The bakery is empty right now. Then I hear a ding from the door. I don't look but I say,

"Welcome to Mellark Bakery what would you like to order?"

"A cupcake please." She says with an English accent. I sigh. I don't like those people.

"Last name?" I ask.

"Mellark." She answers with an English accent. Mellark? Did she just say Mellark? I look up and there she is. I smile and run to her. I pick her up and spin her around. We're both laughing and I'm crying.

"Oh my god! I can't believe you're here! I missed you so much!" I tell her.

"I missed you too!" She yells. I hug her tightly. This is her. I haven't seen her in a year. This is my secret that I've hidden for a whole year. The girl I'm talking to was my first love.

"So, see you in thirty minutes in the batting cages?" She asks.

"Yup. It's settled." I confirm. She smiles and we both hug each other. I felt like we've been there forever but it was only a few minutes. She leaves the bakery and I go back to the kitchen. Then I hear another bell. I turn and see Katniss. I walk over to her and give her a hug.

"Hey,I was wondering if you wanted to hang out after work?" She asks me.

"Sorry, I can't. I'm going somewhere else. But maybe at six? So probably three hours from now." I say looking down at my watch. She nods and smiles. She gives me a kiss on the check and leaves the bakery. Thank The Lord she didn't ask if someone is coming.
