OMG!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT SQUEEE!!! My computer is back to normal... well almost. I still need to download things like Iphoto and Imovie.
Here is the next chapter to celebrate.
Chapter 5
Peeta sighs and puts his pen down. He stares at his essay and runs his hand through his hair. He glances at his sister, her tongue is sticking out slightly and her eyebrows are creased in concentration. “How is it that you have so many things to write about?” he whispers.
“I like writing… I guess it just comes to me.”
“Mr. Mellark!” yells Mr. Abernathy, “I’d appreciate it if you could stop talking and get back to work.” Peeta rolls his eyes and looks back at the piece of paper. He didn’t even have a title yet. Katniss slips a note onto Peeta’s table then gets back to work. The note reads:
“Just write about your favourite memory.”
Peeta smiles and stuffs the note in his pocket then gets to work.

Katniss and Peeta- 10 years old
“Katniss! Where are you?” yells Peeta. He climbs up the stairs and marches to Katniss’s bedroom. He spots her lying on the bed with a pen and a notebook. She scribbles something in the book with so much speed and concentration that she doesn’t notice Peeta in the room.
“Hello? Katniss?” She still doesn’t notice his presence. Frustrated, he snatched her notebook and takes a peak. “Peeta!” Katniss yells.
“What is this… are these… stories?”
“Yes,” she replies sheepishly. “They aren’t good, I know.”
“What! They’re amazing,” he proclaims. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“It was supposed to be a secret.” She takes back the notebook from his hands and sits down in a huff.
“Wanna see my secret hobby?” He runs to his bedroom then returns with a folder and gives it to Katniss. Inside are all kinds of artwork varying from portraits of people to landscapes. “Peeta, this is amazing! You should be an artist!”
“I think you should be a writer.”
“Okay, how about this?” asks Katniss. “I’ll be a writer if you do the illustrations.”
“Deal!”

The bell rings and Peeta hands his paper to Mr. Abernathy. He tries to scan the classroom for Katniss but he is lost in the crowd of students. Suddenly, Glimmer stands by the door, blocking Peeta’s path. “Hey Peeta.”
“H-h-hey G-gl-glimmer…”
“So… I heard there’s a new restaurant downtown…” Glimmer says. From the corner of her eye, she can see Clove and Madge spying on her. “… I was wondering… would you like to go out with me?”
“W-wh-what?”
“You know… like a date… maybe?”
“Umm… okay-“
“That’s great! Meet me at your bakery!”
“Wait… tonight?” Peeta asks alarmed.
“Sure why not?” Glimmer then pulls out a slip of paper and gives it to Peeta. “Call me!” she winks then walks away.
