The Boy from my Dream

Chapter 6

The sun warms my skin. I can see it even with my eyes closed. I see the calming orange colors swirl around in my head. I open my eyes slightly not wanting to take its brightness full on.  I take a deep breathe. This air is not familiar. It's too fake, filled with perfumes and other artificial smells. I remember where I am.

I force myself out of bed and into the bathroom. I comb through my hair and decide theres no use trying to do anything with it except leave it down. I brush my teeth and wash my face.

I head over to the closet and search for something wearable. I put on the jeans from yesterday a white t-shirt and a red button down jacket because of how cool it is this morning. 

When I walk into the dining car I see that breakfast has been layed out. Peeta and Haymitch sit in their spots from yesterday and effie sits in one of the plush chairs reading a magazine. I take my seat next to Peeta and start piling food on my plate. Warm scrambled eggs and bacon fill my plate next to puffy french toast with butter. I also make sure to grab a small bowl of fruit for health.

"Nice of you to show up sweetheart!" Haymitch smirks. I give him a dirty look not in the mood to deal with him this morning.

"Haymitch was just telling me how I could find shelter." Peeta says.

"That is if you're still alive to find it." Haymitch adds. "The most important thing to do is get sponsers for food, water, a knife, anything that could help you survive."

"How do you get them." I say. He looks at me questionly "Sponsers I mean."

"Well to do that you're ganna have to make people like you!" he say staring me down "and you seem to be having trouble doing that huh?" he say motioning his eyes towards Peeta who has lost intrest in the convorsation and it scarfing down ome eggs.

My face turns bright red and my cheeks feel warm. Is it that obvious I love him? Did he say something to Haymitch? Am I making him uncofterble?

My thoughts are broken by Peeta jumping out of his seat. "Whoa!" he says rushing to the window. "That's amazing."

Outside our window stand a huge city with buildings reaching the sky,metals that shine on this sunny day, and lots a vehicles i've never seen before. We are in the capital, a place i've only seen on TV and couldn't of imagined it being this big. Everyone stares out the window and then darkness.

The whole train is dark. Outside the windows is pitch black. What is this some sort of Capital trap? I stand up and grab my knifve from the table I stand their alert ready for anything to happen. Then all of a sudden it's light again.

I look around to see Haymitch and Effie unfased and Peeta looks as startled as me. Once theylook at me however they all start to burst out into laughter. I realize I'm standing there with my table knife in one hand and I'm slightly crouched ready to attack at any time.

I stand up straight and glare at them all. "Well I'm glad I could provide you all with a good laugh!" I say annoyed.

Without noticing I mean to throw the knife on the table but instead it whizzes towards Haymitch and stabs his sleeve into the wall. I stand there dumbfounded. I meant to just toss it on the table but I guess my anger made me throw it harder.

Haymitch just stands there staring me down with an impressed look. I look toward Effie and see her standing there shocked and then towards Peeta. He is just looking at me not even looking but staring. Not like before when it was into my eyes this time he just stares with a bit of terror written on his face.

Haymitch grabs the knife out of the wall and walks to me. He places the knife in my hands and says "You might want to save this for the Games. And good aim sweetheart," He walks to Peeta and puts a hand on his shoulder saying "You better watch your back boy this girl knows what shes doing." And then he exits the room.

I don't though is the problem. I have no idea what that was! I didn't know I had that strength and aim. I look back at Peeta whose eyes are still locked on me. I stand there uncomfertably as Effie tries to break the silence telling us to get ready to get off the train. Peeta finally looks away and starts heading towards the door.

If there was any doubt in my mind before that Peeta didn't know who i was that's all gone now.
