Why Her?

Chapter 9

-Katniss's POV-

Nobody knows about Peeta and I yet. My music/drama teacher Miss Trinket (but I call her Effie.) is watching Iris and still teaching.

Peeta clutches onto my hand. I see Delly glaring at me. I bite my lip. "I'll be back Kat." Peeta says and kisses my cheek.

I smile. He walks away and Delly sashays up to me. She throws her purse down, takes her earrings out, and takes off her heels. What?- "c'mon Everdeen let's fight!" She says.

I roll my eyes and shake my head. She knees my stomach. That's it! People gather around and start screaming "fight! Fight! Fight!"

She throws another punch but I grab her fist. I sweep her legs and she falls. I sit on her and out my knees on her wrists. She struggles.

"Before you start fighting, know who you are fighting." I say.

She smirks, "oh who is that?" She says and looks to the side.

I gasp. It's Darius. I scream with tears in my eyes. "You did this on purpose didn't you?!" I scream in her face. I start beating the crap out of her. Peeta picks me up by my waist.

I scream and thrash around. "Your not my cousin! I hate you! I hate you!" I screaming trying to pry Peeta's hand off of me. I kick the air and scream at her. I eventually give up and cry into Peeta. He whispers shooting things in my ear and pets my hair.

I walk with Peeta to Miss Trinket's class. I knock on the door. One of the students answers and lets me in. I give a small smile to her and look for Iris. I see her in her baby swing. She is wearing a blue aqua tutu, a blue flower headpiece with a stud in the middle of it, and some cute little white laced socks. She giggles showing her dimples and kicking her feet. I smile and pick her up.

"Thank you." I say to Effie.

She smiles and nods.

I take her out of the classroom and rock her gently. She sucks on her thumb and stares into my eyes. I smile as Peeta wraps his arms around my waist. His chin is on my shoulder. I turn towards him and he does the same. I can feel his light breathing. We both lean in and share our first kiss. When we break away Iris has a small smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes.

I guess she likes it when we kiss.

"I love you." Peeta whispers.

"I love you too."
