Peeta sighs. "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 even know I was alive until the reaping."
Sounds of sympathy from the corwd. Unrequited love they can relate to.
"She have another fellow?"asks Caesar.
"I don't know, but a lot of boys like her," says Peeta.
"So here's what you do. You win, you go home. She can't turn you down then, eh?" says Caesar encouragingly.
"I don't think it's going to work out. Winning... won't help in my case," says Peeta.
"Why ever not?" says Caesar mystified.
Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. "Because... because... she came here with me."

This has got to be one of my favorite parts in the entire book! I have read The HungerGames a few times, and no mater if it's the 1st or the 11th time this part still makes my heart race and goose bumps pop up on my arms!
It's like you just know who he's talking about , even before the last sentence but you keep waiting to hear it and when you do....... it's just.... so awesome! I want to give a little girl screech!
