My cheeks burn again at the thought of Gale.“I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“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?”

→ Scenes that made me love Peeta Mellark

“You know what my mother said to me when she came to say goodbye, as if to cheer me? She said maybe District Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realised, she didn’t mean me, she meant you!” bursts out Peeta.

“Oh, she meant you,” I say with a wave of dismissal.

“She said, ‘She’s a survivor, this one.’ She is,” says Peeta.

That pulls me up short. 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.

Suddenly I’m behind the bakery and I can feel the chill of the rain running down my back, the hollowness in my belly. I sound eleven years old when I speak.

“But only because someone helped me.”

Peeta’s eyes flicker down to the roll in my hands, and I know he remembers that day, too.

Let’s take a chance baby we can’t lose

Mean we’re all just runaways

I knew that when I met you, I’m not gonna let you runaway

I knew that when I held you, I wasn’t lettin’ go

I spread out my fingers, and the dark berries glisten in the sun. I give Peeta’s hand one last squeeze as a signal, as a goodbye, and we begin counting. “One.” Maybe I’m wrong. “Two.” Maybe they don’t care if we both die. “Three!” It’s too late to change my mind. I lift my hand to my mouth, taking one last look at the world. The berries have just passed my lips when the trumpets begin to blare.

“All those months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly. And I hate him for it.”
