I'm walking back home after a long night at Annie's house when these gangsters come up to me. I recognize one of them. His eyes are the most prettiest shade of blue, and his hair ashen blonde, but his eyes have the look of regret in them. Just then he pins me up against a building while another guy threatens to hit me with a baseball bat. "Give us all the money," the one with the bat says.
"No," I say "Its mine not yours."
"Just shut up and give me the money," says the blonde. He's just to cute!
"No. i'm not gonna give you my money or my phone," I shout. Shit! I've said to much!
"What," says the guy with the bat.
"N-nothing."
The guy with the bat tells the blonde to get the phone and the money, and he'll hit me with the bat if I resist. He hesitates before he feels around my front pockets, but when he reaches for my back pockets he blushed and takes out my phone and my money.
"Scram runt!" he yells.
I Run and run until I'm back home. I wipe away stray tears and walk inside. "Were have you been?" asks my Mother.
"At Annie's," I reply. I go upstairs brush my teeth and change into my snowman footsies.
"Where have you been?" asks Prim
"None of your business" I snarl at her.
"Ooooh I'm so scared!" I look at her, than grab my pillow and hit her upside the head.
"Oh it's on!" she says as she grabs her pillow. We end up on the floor in a fit of laughter.
"Girls!"our Mother shouts from downstairs.
"Sorry Mom!" I shout. After that I settle into bed with a smile on my face, completely forgetting about the nights pervious events.
The next day I drop Prim off at school I bid her goodbye. When I get to school I get my things from my locker and head to math. On my way I bump into someone and drop my stuff. I bend down to pick them up When another arm reaches for them. It's the boy who took my things last night! He looked a little different. He had a black eye and bruises on his knuckles. "Here sorry about last night. I really didn't want to do it," he says giving me my binders and the stuff he took last night.
"It's alright," I say.
"Better not lose those. I went threw a lot of trouble to get them. I'm Peeta, Peeta Mellark, by the way.
"Nice to meet you I'm Katniss Everdeen."
"Nice to meet you Katniss. Friends."
I hesitate for a second before saying yes. We shake hands and both head off to our classes. When I get to class I take my usual seat next to Annie Cresta, Madge Undersee, and Johanna Mason. I say hi to them all and take my seat. The entire time I cant help but think about Peeta.
"Miss Everdeen, care to tell me what six to the fourth power is?" Mr Snow asks. Crap! I wasn't paying attention! Lucklily I have a friend like Madge who is whispering the answer.
"1296," Madge whispers.
"1296," I say.
"Wonderful job Miss Everdeen." Phew! I'll be sure to thank Madge later. The bell rings and I get up to go to the next class. Mr. Abernathy is are next teacher! Yay! He is always out dunk! On the way to class I went to the bathroom. When I got to class the only seat left was next to Peeta.
I take my seat and don't even bother taking out my things for this class because Mr. Abernathy is already out cold. All of the sudden there's a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see who it is.
"Hi!" says Peeta.
"Hey," I reply.
"So I guess we have a period to ourselves."
"Yeah," I agree. I get lost in his eyes, in daze, then he breaks the silence.
"Your eyes are beautiful."
"No they're not! They are just plain grey. You, how ever have beautiful blue eyes!"
"Thanks and yes they are too beautiful! I have never met someone with grey eyes before!"
"Thanks," I say.
"Your Welcome. Do you have lunch after this," he says.
"Yeah," I say.
"Cool!"
"Would you like to come over tomorrow, you know since it's Friday to study for the math test," says Peeta.
"Sure! I'd love to get some extra studying." Just then the bell rang for lunch.
"Huh whooosss theeeereee," slurs Haymitch . Everyone starts laughing including Peeta. Huh. His laugh is cute. I head to my locker and put my away in my stuff locker. Right when I was about to put my lock on my locker I remembered my lunch. I quickly grab my lunch close my locker, lock it and head to lunch. I sit in my usual spot with my friends Madge, Annie, Johanna, Clove, Finnick, Cato, and Gale.
"Hey guys!" I say
"Hey Kitty Kat," says Finnick.
"I told you not to call me that Finn,"I say. All of the sudden Everyone is starring at something behind me. I turn around to see what it is and it's...
