@ the reaping 😣
I felt like I couldn’t breathe, like someone had ripped out my lungs. Katniss had volunteered as tribute. then I looked over. Who was this baker boy with that slutty little waist? there he was, peeta melark eying up katniss as if he ever had a chance with my girl. Who did who does he think he is with his beautiful blue eyes ever filed with doubt, honey coloured hair and toned arms from lugging flower around at the bakery?
all of a sudden there he was Peeta stood on stage. was i so distracted that this happen, that he was the male tribute? Wow I really need to get a grip. my mind was racing. should i volunteer to be with katniss? no i need to look after prim. i promised katniss i will i have a job to do.
then they got whisked of with effie. what do i do now.
{later that night}
I looked up in my ceiling. I couldn’t sleep and all I could see was Peeta’s face staring back at me and it was almost as if i could hear whistling.
I know I should be worried about katniss and whether she’ll make it in the hunger games but all I could think about was peeta. he doesn’t have any instincts for this. katniss might have a chance, she can hunt. What can he do, bake a cake to choke the other tributes i want his cake. wait what who said that. my god i guess really am sleep deprived.
our rivalry over katniss is getting ridiculous. it makes me wonder why i even try. i mean she has two very attractive guys pining after her and yet she doesn’t act on it at all.
maybe i should move on. but then peeta would be able to have her and i wouldn’t be able to handle that. he’s too innocent, almost too good for this whole rivalry thing
oh well, i may not even see him again if he’s going into the games. ugh why does it have to be like this.
in the perfect world, it wouldn’t matter of a Kat and Peeta. I would live off the land, hunting for my food and I won’t have to listen to the capital go mining. Maybe I should just run away. I could bring katniss with me. I should.
but peeta,
i can never leave him alone. He just lives in my mind rent free.
is that weird? It’s probably not normal for two rivals.
Well I guess this in the perfect world we wouldn’t be rivals. but if we weren’t rivals, what would we be? I mean, I doubt we could be friends and lovers pft never. we could probably be friends, teammates, rivals everything but a lover really.
we can’t keep on like this. I need to change something, rebel against the capital. talk to Katniss and Peeta.
but for now all i really need is to sleep. i’m going down to visit katniss bright and early tomorrow and this might be the last time i ever see her.
and peeta too i guess
