*Katnisss POV*
Peeta stops talking and just stares at me. Ok, this is freaky. Wait, woah woah woah.
Peeta looks REALLY familiar all of a sudden.
Flashback
I was so cold. It was raining, and I was huddled against a tree, trying to keep warm. I was trying to sell some of Prim's old clothes. But everyone pretended they didn't see me. There was a building in front of me that said "Mellark's Bakery". I saw a boy, with blonde hair, standing outside of the bakery. He looked at me, then went back inside.
He came back out, with a woman who was hitting him with a rolling pin. I remember wanting to help him, but I was just too hungry; just too tired and cold. She starts screaming at him.
"YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP!! HOW DARE YOU BURN THAT BREAD!!! I SAW YOU LOOKING AT THAT GIRL, DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HELPING THAT STREET SCUM!!!!!! NOW FEED THAT BREAD TO THE PIG!!!!"
She points at the pig in the pen, gives him one last WHACK with the rolling pin, and storms back inside. I saw then that he was holding a pice of burnt bread. He looks at me again, then looks back inside, as if to see if the coast was clear. Then he throws the bread to me.
I barely had enough energy to reach out and grab the bread.
But then, the woman, (whom I think was his mother) comes back out, with the rolling pin in hand.
"HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY ME!!!! I KNEW WE SHOULD OF THROWN YOU OUT THE MOMENT YOU WERE BORN!!!"
She grabs him by the shirt, and pulls him inside.
After they were gone, I saw the first dandellion I had seen all winter. To me, it was a sign of hope. I the bread home to Gale, Prim, and our mom. We had a real feast.
We scraped off the burnt parts, and ate it with berries that Prim had gathered. I knew that our family would always be grateful to the boy with the bread.
End of Flashback
Oh my gods. Peeta is the boy with the bread. Peeta is the one who saved my family from dying of starvation. I look at him. He just keeps staring at me.
"K-Katniss?" he stutters. "I-Is it really you?
Short, I know, but the next one will be longer. What did y'all think? Lemme know, down below, and remember to vote if you like it!!
