Poison berries (Larry Stylinson/Hunger Games)

Chapter 6: Hi.

“Hi.” I smiled at the boy I just bumped into. His eyes were red and wet, he was crying. “Are you okay?” I asked. In that moment it was like his legs just gave in, he slowly started to fall but I took him in my arms and now we were both on the floor.

“Why do you care? You don’t even know my name!” He cried out. It was at that moment I knew I wanted to protect him, I don’t know why. Maybe he reminded me of my little brother, but it was more than that… This strange feeling spread through my body. I cupped his cheek, wiped his tears away.

“What’s your name?”

“H-Harry.” He was looking at me with those beautiful green eyes focused on me and in just few moments later he relaxed.

“I’m Louis.” I smiled at him moving my head a bit to the right.

“How do you stay this relaxed with knowing what’s going to happen to us.” I just realized that now. I probably cried for few seconds throughout this whole time.

“I guess I was distracted with the schedule that we have.” He chuckled. “You’re funny.”

“Really? You think so?” I looked at him amused.

“Yeah. You are from twelve right?”

“Yup! And what about you, curly?” He said while blushing a bit.

“I’m from District three” In that moment we were interrupted by a loud knock on the bathroom door.

“Harry?! Are you in there?! Hello?!” A soft yet concerned female voice reached us. It was then when we realized in what position we were in. He was sitting in my lap with his hands hugging my waist while my hand was still cupping his cheek. We got up.

“Yeah, I’m in here Emma! I’ll be out in a second!”

“Okay, don’t take too long.” She said.

“Thank you, Louis. I have to get back now.” I nodded. As he was leaving it was like my hand had a mind of its own and took his hand pulling him closer to me, I could feel his breath on my face. I realized how shorter I was as opposed to him.

“Promise me something… Will you?”

“Uhmm, y-yeah su-ure, what is it?” He said it like he was taken off guard, surprized by my action.

“Find me after dinner tonight.” He nodded.

“I promise.” Then he let go of my hand, his warm breath and his green eyes left me. I was so confused. What did I just do? Why the hell did I just do that?! I started to walk back to the table, I saw him again, he was talking to the girl sitting next to him, she was hot, not like your average hot like really hot. I sat down and Spencer gave me a confused look.

“Where were you?”

“Oh, I was in the bathroom, washing up.” Spencer looked at me suspiciously. “Riight…”.
