I never thought about Peeta eating the squirrels I shot.
c'est bizarrement cute
weirdly cute
“She’s excellent,” says Peeta. “My father buys her squirrels. He always comments on how the arrows never pierce the body. She hits every one in the eye. It’s the same with the rabbits she sells the butcher. She can even bring down deer.”
CUUUTE
Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realized, she didn’t mean me, she meant you!”
Did his mother really say that about me? Did she rate me over her son? I see the pain in Peeta’s eyes and know he isn’t lying.
hoorrible
Peeta rolls his eyes at Haymitch. “She has no idea. The effect she can have.” He runs his fingernail along the wood grain in the table, refusing to look at me.
OOMMGG ??????
Somehow the whole thing — his skill, those inaccessible cakes, the praise of the camouflage expert — annoys me.
why ?
“It’s lovely. If only you could frost someone to death,” I say.
Say it’s actually a gigantic cake —” begins Peeta.
i love him so much
“Okay, now laugh as if I’ve said something funny.”
Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig.
And I realize the impossible has happened. They have actually cheered me up.
I call him my friend, but in the last year it’s seemed too casual a word for what Gale is to me. A pang of longing shoots through my chest. If only he was with me now! But, of course, I don’t want that. I don’t want him in the arena where he’d be dead in a few days. I just . . . I just miss him. And I hate
CAN'T WE JUST HAVE THEM AS BEST FRIENDS AND NOT LOVE TRIANGLE INTERESTS LATER
Betrayal.
They’re already taking my future! They can’t have the things that mattered to me in the past!”
“Tell me, do I still smell like roses?” he asks Caesar, and then there’s a whole run where they take turns sniffing each other that brings down the house.
bi bi bi
“Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.”
je vais caner, c'en est fini pour moi
i'm gonna die, it's over for me
“I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her,” says Peeta.
un peu cliché mais ça passe parce que peeta est trop chou
a bit cliché but that's okay because peeta is too cute
“I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning . . . won’t help in my case,” says Peeta.
OOOPS poor baby
“Wouldn’t you love to pull her back out here and get a response?” Caesar asks the audience.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, rules are rules, and Katniss Everdeen’s time has been spent.
thank god
“You are a fool,” Haymitch says in disgust. “Do you think he hurt you? That boy just gave you something you could never achieve on your own.” “He made me look weak!” I say. “He made you look desirable!
Which do you think will get you more sponsors?”
horrible qu'elle doive être désirable pour avoir des sponsors
disgusting that she has to be desirable to get sponsors
Cinna comes over and puts his arm around me. “He’s right, Katniss.”
cinna i trusted you
She’s just worried about her boyfriend,” says Peeta gruffly, tossing away a bloody piece of the urn.
little shit, i love him
UPDATE : i misunderstood !!!!!!!! he meant GALE
My cheeks burn again at the thought of Gale. “I don’t have a boyfriend.”
i hate the loev triangle already
Whatever,” says Peeta. “But I bet he’s smart enough to know a bluff when he sees it. Besides you didn’t say you loved me. So what does it matter?”
but is it bluffing if its actually true ?
Suddenly I’m worried that I didn’t react properly.
damn i love her a little
“After he said he loved me, did you think I could be in love with him, too?” I ask.
usually i'm not a fan of characters like katniss but idk why i like her!!!! i like that sh's always calculqting
And there I am, blushing and confused, made beautiful by Cinna’s hands, desirable by Peeta’s confession, tragic by circumstance, and by all accounts, unforgettable.
The actual Games don’t start until ten because so many of the Capitol residents rise late.
what th fuck was that sentence : sorry but the games where peope die are not until 10 because the welthy not dying people need their beuty sleep
working out a strategy on how and when to deliver the gifts to us.
even this is not easy ???
“It doesn’t matter, Katniss,” he says. “I’ve never been a contender in these Games anyway.”
baby!!!
but also that's why he gave her a headsup with the saying he loves her thing
maybe that's why he wanted to be coached separatelmy because he knew he would lose so he wanted to make her wiin
“Why not? It’s true. My best hope is to not disgrace myself and . . .” He hesitates.
THAT SHE WINS ???
How could he die as anyone but himself? “I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not.”
“I do. I mean, what else am I allowed to care about at this point?” he asks angrily.
“Wouldn’t surprise me if you do,” says Peeta. “Give my mother my best when you make it back, will you?”
We will see how high and mighty he is when he’s faced with life and death.
he's not high and mighty, he's scared
the kind who tries to eat someone’s heart after they’ve killed them.
sure sounds like him................
woods the day I saw the redheaded Avox girl captured, and a ladder drops down.
maybe she was a tribute who evaded ??
This is what birds see. Only they’re free and safe. The very opposite of me.
The arenas are historic sites, preserved after the Games. Popular destinations for Capitol residents to visit, to vacation. Go for a month, rewatch the Games, tour the catacombs, visit the sites where the deaths took place. You can even take part in reenactments. They say the food is excellent.
this is terrible
Nervousness seeps into terror as I anticipate what is to come. I could be dead, flat-out dead, in an hour. Not even.
because I’m probably on-screen right now.
omg i forgot about that!!! but whzere are the cameras ???
All of a sudden, I’m overwhelmed by the thought that Peeta may be already lost, bled white, collected, and in the process of being transported back to the Capitol to be cleaned up, redressed, and shipped in a simple wooden box back to District 12.
horrible
The gratitude that he gave me an edge by professing his love for me in the interview. The anger at his superiority on the roof. The dread that we may come face-to-face at any moment in this arena.
No one from District 12 would think of doing such a thing!
Hes trying to protect you
he’s helping them find me.
They didnt say that
Somewhere, in a cool and spotless room, a Gamemaker sits at a set of controls, fingers on the triggers that could end my life in a second. All that is needed is a direct hit.
Tis is fucked up
