Homework: Dear parents/guardians,
please assist your child with today homework.
Option 3: (Peeta has just declared that he loves Katniss
on a live interview):
For a moment, the cameras hold on
Peeta’s downcast eyes as what he says sinks in. Then I can see my face, mouth
half open in a mix of surprise and protest, magnified on every screen as I
realize, Me! He means me! I press my lips together and stare at the floor,
hoping this will conceal the emotions starting to boil up inside of me.
“Oh, that is a piece of bad luck,” says
Caesar, and there’s a real edge of pain in his voice. The crowd is murmuring in
agreement, a few have even given agonized cries.
“It’s not good,” agrees Peeta.
“Well, I don’t think any of us
can blame you. It’d be hard not to fall for that young lady,”says Caesar. “She
didn’t know?”
Peeta shakes his head. “Not until
now.”
I allow my eyes to flicker up to the
screen long enough to see that the blush on my cheeks is unmistakable.
“ Wouldn’t you love to pull her
back out here and get a response?” Caesar asks the audience. … “Sadly, rules
are rules, and Katniss Everdeen’s time has been spent. Well, best of luck to
you, Peeta Mellark, and I think I speak for all of Panem when I say our hearts
go with yours.” The roar of the crowd is deafening. Peeta has absolutely wiped
the rest of us off the map with his declaration of love for me. When the audience
finally settles down, he chokes out a quiet “Thank you” and returns to his
seat.
We stand for the anthem. I have
to raise my head out of the required respect and cannot avoid seeing that every
screen is now dominated by a shot of Peeta and me…

What is Katniss’ first reaction
when Peeta confesses his feelings on t.v.?
