## Relationship History

Katniss And Peeta Were Both Born In District 12, The Smallest And Poorest Of The Thirteen Districts Of Panem. Peeta Grew Up In The Merchant Area Of District 12 While Katniss Grew Up In The Seam. Peeta Had A Huge Crush On Katniss Ever Since He Was Five Years Old On The First Day of School, Peeta's Father Pointed Out, Saying That He Wanted To Marry Her Mother. Later, Katniss Sang For Their Music Class,And Peeta Realized He Was In Love With Her When He Saw That The Birds Were Listening. He Had Often Watched Her, But The Two Never Spoke Until The Reaping. During The Reaping, Katniss recognises him instantly, knowing that he is the boy who, five years prior, purposely burned bread and gave it to her to save her family and herself from starvation - an act that gave her the hope and courage to feed her family. For this, his mother gave him a black eye for being so clumsy. During Peetas interview with Caesar Flickerman, he reveals he is in love with Katniss, much to her surprise. This confession begins the idea that the two are the "star-crossed lovers from District 12," which Haymitch believes will help them get sponsors. They Both Fought In The 74th Hunger Games And The Second Rebellion and They Later Both Married And Had three Children.
