The District Academy

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

After the moment in the hospital, I had to go home, because I knew my mom would start to worry.

As soon as I got home, I went to my room and sunk down onto my bed, thinking through the events of the night. Prim tried knocking on my door numerous times, but eventually gave in because I had locked the door.

My mom gave up on the idea of making me eat tea.

I still don't know what happened. My head is completely muddled with thoughts. Peeta likes me! Wait... Peeta likes me? Oh my... I have no doubt that i like him, I have just never had a relationship before. I worry about letting him down, because he is just so... Perfect, and I cannot be good for him.

If he came knocking on my door right now, I would do an action that I would have never even thought of before. I would kiss him, and no doubt, like in the hospital, he would take my pain and worry away, leaving a mutual love.

After what seemed like hours of sorting out my feelings, I decided to grab my iPod. I go to my music app, and press shuffle. The first song actually fits really well with my situation.

Looking up by paramore.

Things are looking up

Oh, finally

I thought I'd never see the day

When you'd smile at me

We always pull through

Oh, when we try

I'm always wrong

But you're never right

Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

Could have given up so easily

I was a few cheap shots away

From the end of me

Taken for granted

Almost everything

That I would have died for

Just yesterday

Just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

God knows the world doesn't need another band

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

But what a waste it would've been

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Honestly, can you believe

We crossed the world while it's asleep?

I'd never trade it in

'Cause I've always wanted this and

It's not a dream anymore, no

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore, no, oh

It's not a dream anymore

It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

I can't believe we almost hung it up

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh

We're just getting started

Yeah, we're just getting started

By the time it finishes, I have my phone in my hand, and Peeta's contact details are in front of me. I want to wring him to speak, and to see how he feels, but I just can't do it...

The last knock I get on my door catches my attention.

"Kat, it's midnight! We are going to bed. Night." Prims sweet voice sounds so worried and tired.

"Ok Prim, I'm fine." I only just notice how tired I actually am.

"Ok." Before she walks off, I open the door, and hug her tightly.

When I get back in my room, I decide to contact Peeta in the morning. I was given the day off school, because I went through a 'traumatizing' experience, and he's still in hospital... For now.

The last thought on my mind before sleep takes over me, is how much I have been thinking about Peeta today.
