Katniss P.O.V
Ughhh... It's the first day of school! I can't belive mom made me move here in my sophmore year! I got up out of bed and went to take a quick shower when someone knocked on my door.
"What?!" I yelled.
"You've been in there for 30 minutes! I have to take a shower too! You're going to make me late!" Prim yelled from the door.
"I'm almost done, jeez!" I yelled back, laughing.
I went back into my room and changed into a v-neck t-shirt and shorts and put my hair into my normal braid.
"Breakfest!" Mom yelled from the kitchen downstairs.
I ate my breakfest in silence as my mom went to get ready for her job at the hospital.
"Mom, Prim, I'm leaving!"
I walked out of the house and started to walk towards the school. A guy with bronze colored hair walked out of the house next to mine. He waited until I was in front of his house before speaking up.
"Who are you and why haven't I seen you around?" He said looking me up and down.
"Katniss Everdeen, I just moved next door to you. Who are you?"
"Finnick Odair" He extended a hand at me. I shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you. Wanna walk to school with me?"
"Sure."
We walked towards the school as he asked me about my classes. Turns out we have Homeroom, Math, and Science together.
"This is great! We got Mr. Abernathy as our homeroom teacher! That means that we can do anything we want!"
"What do you mean?" How are we allowed to do anything we want just because we have Mr. Abernathy?
"You'll see" Finnick smiled mischeviously at me.
When we walked into class, Finnick was greeted by 2 guys and 3 girls. One guy was tall and looked very intimidating, and the other was a bit taller than me and had the cutest blonde curls. The cute blonde smiled at me and introduced himself as Peeta Mellark and the other guy as Thresh Okeniyi. The 3 girls were introduced as Annie Cresta, Johanna Malone, and Delly Cartwright. We all sat down in our seats as the bell rang and Mr. Abernathy walked into the room. Before he even had a chance to look at his students, he passed out on his desk holding a bottle of what appears to be liquor.
"Oh my gosh! Is he okay?!" I exclaimed.
"He's fine, he just passed out from alcohol." Peeta said chuckling. God, his laugh is so cute! No, wait, no, what am I thinking?! I can't have a crush on him! He's probably taken anyways.
"Wait, we never even caught your name, mysterious girl." Thresh said curiously.
"Oh, my bad, I'm Katniss Everdeen."
"Well it's nice to know your name. Why haven't we seen you around?" Delly asked me.
"She just moved here this year, she lives right next to me, you know, Gale's old house." Finnick informed the others.
Suddenly, Annie whimpered and Finnick's arms went around her waist almost instantly.
"shhhhh... An, it's okay. I'm sorry, he's not here anymore."
"What's going on?" I leaned to Johnanna and Peeta who were closest to me.
"Annie and Gale had a bad history, brainless" Johnanna spat at me as if she had better things to do than inform me of obvious things, apperantly.
"Jo, be nice, she just moved here, she doesn't know." Peeta said defending me. Why is he defending me?! Does he lik- no, stop it! "Gale used Annie when she was drunk and hurt her and Fin's relationship." He whispered into my ear, slightly tickling me with his breath.
"Oh, I didn't know."
Peeta smiled at me and I unvolunteraily smiled back. Our eyes locked on each other as he whispered, "It's okay, you just moved here, you couldn't have known." The bell rang signaling the end of homeroom. I have English next, how the hell am I going to find out how to get there?!
"What class do you have next?" Peeta asked, interupting my thoughts.
"English, do you know where that is?"
"Follow me, I have English next too, come on" Peeta extended a hand at me but instead of extending for a handshake, he held it out so I could hold his hand. "Come on, I don't bite. Well I don't bite someone I just met." He winked at me as I took his hand and he led me into the hallway. This is going to be an intresting year...
