Chapter One

"Wake up, honey! It's school time!" These are the things I hate most in the world. Waking up early, and school. Mom knows that very well, but she has to do her work.

"Just five more minutes, I'm begging you... Please!" I don't think this will warm her up, but at least I've tried.

"Get your ass up son, you're gonna be late." I can hear that my door opened, so I manage to sit up. She's smiling at me "Katniss and Delly are waiting for you. You know how impatient could they be sometimes." She have got my weak point again.

"Okay." I roll my eyes playfully. "You wanna be here when I change my underwear, my dear love, or would you leave please?" I chuckle as she blushes.

"Oh, sorry. I'm going to pack your lunch." She's a bit embarrassed when she leaves the room. Our relationship is quite unique. We were not very close to each other, but after my father died in a car accident, we grieved together. He was the best father on the world. After his death I've become unsociable. My perfect saturday night is about reading a good book while I'm drinking hot chocolate. But this doesn't mean I completely shut out everyone. I have three friends who I could always count on: Delly, Katniss, and my own mother.

After I dressed up completely, I finally managed to get downstairs, facing my mother again. "Oh you were really fast darling. Here is your cup of coffee, you look horrible."

"Thanks for being honest with me, mom." I laugh, takind a sip from the coffee. "Mmmm, you're making the best coffee on this planet. I swear I like it much more than Starbucks... Anyways, where are Katniss and Delly? You said they're waiting for me."

I'm thinking about that she's might have been tricking me into getting up, but my instincts were wrong.

"Hy, Peeta!" Delly runs towards me. I put down my coffee on the nearest thing I find, it's too perfect to just spill out when she hugs me. My aunt, Effie would kill me now because I've put a mug on the mahogany table, I'm lucky she wasn't here.

"Delly please, you're killing me!" I'm trying to get free from her grip. She backs away slowly, smiling at me hesitantly.

I look at Katniss, who laughs at Delly's outbreak. Katniss is not that touchy type of friend. She is more like honest what I really love in her. If I'm not sure with something, I know she will always help me out, telling me her opinion, being honest under any kind of circumstances.

I begin to drink my coffee again. The bitter taste would stay in my mouth if there wouldn't be sweet sugar and milk in it.

"I think Delly is being..." Katniss seems like she's thinking about the right word, but gives up after some seconds of thinking "Delly, even at morning. Ready to go, Peet?" I take the last sip of my coffee, feeling the energy rushing through my cells from it. I kiss my mother on her cheeks, saying goodbye to her. She will have a lot of work today at her job. She works at the bakery what my father owned.

Sometimes I'm helping in, but with school and studying this could happen only at weekends. Granny is helping her in whatever she can. I don't know where she is right now, probably still sleeping.

"Yes, I'm ready." I answer, leaving the house with my best friends.

"You're still in love with that guy?" Katniss asks, curiousity in her voice.

I blush, knowing exactly what she's talking about. "What guy?"

"The handsome, most popular guy in the entire school. Do you remember?" Katniss rolls her eyes. Delly is trying to save me from the awkward situation. "Katniss, it's his own private life. Stop rummaging in it." She takes a break, thinking about something. "Anyways... I'm curious too."

"Thanks, Delly. You're a great friend." I mumble after taking a deep breath.

I came out to them some months ago. Even if they doesn't have a problem with it - in fact, it seems like they're liking the idea of me being gay -, I'm not sure if I'm prepared to talk about my feelings to them. It's just too scary to talk with them about my one sided interest, but I do it anyways.

"I'm not in love with him. He's just handsome, manly, has a lot of abs, his smile is beautiful..." Wait, what the fuck?

Both Katniss and Delly are chuckling. Katniss begins to talk. "You're really not in love, Peet? I don't know, but you seem like you totally lost your head." She chuckles again.

"It doesn't mean anything if I'm in love or not. He's very popular, but I'm not. Noone knows me in the school, or if they do I'm just the 'number one out gay in the entire High'... and most importantly, there's a huge obstacle standing in my way. Even if I would he popular, or a friend of his, I won't have a chance at him. He has a girlfriend." My face goes sad from all of sudden, but I manage to continue it. "Her name is Clove, but you know it really well. He's as straight as your shooting skills, Katniss." She likes archery, and she is really good at it. Maybe the best in the entire town.

I manage to put on a smile.

I'm thinking about the best way to strike back. "I think Gale would appreciate if you'd finally tell him." The sound of his name immediately makes her blush. There are not too many things what could embarass Katniss, but Gale is her weakest point. They were best friends since kindergarten, and she fell in love with the boy one year ago it I remember it well.

"Fair enough. You won, Mellark."

"We should hurry up, guys. It's already 7:17. Mr Abernathy will be really mad at us." Delly changes the subject.

We are heading to the school, not talking much on our way because it would just distract us, and we'll stop on the middle of the road. When we arrive it's almost 7:56, what means we have four more minutes to arrive to the class.

My heart skips a beat when Cato looks at me. It doesn't takes too long, but we're staring in each others eyes. He's standing next to his usual gang. I call them the Careers, because all of the cares about formalities like how they look, how many calories does their food contain, and most importantly doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone else but themselves. The 'divine' group's members are Marvel, Glimmer, Clove and Cato, of course. These are the elite of Panecray High.

When he looks away, I shake my head. "Let's go."

Mr. Abernathy arrives to the room some moments after us. He is my favorite teacher. He's nice, intuitive, and he knows what he is doing.

History is not everyone's favorite class, but I find it kind of interesting to know what happened in the past, even if I'm more interested in the future.

"Good morning, guys. I - the school - have a surprise for you. After today's lesson all of you will get to know it."

Okay, this is the moment when I think 'screw you, history! I want to know what's that thing right now!'

I'm trying to pay attention to him during the class, because todays subject gets my interest but I'm not possible for it.

My thoughts are always getting back to this one particular person, who's ruling my mind since a really long time. I fell for him even if I knew he has a girlfriend. I think I couldn't choose. Maybe I have to wait a bit more to get over it - him.

But how could I? Every time I close my eyes I see his baby blue eyes shining, filling me with flickering light.

Someone's poking my shoulder, then I get back into reality. "Hey, Peet! Listen, he's going to tell us now." Delly says.

"As I promised in the beginning of the class, I will tell you what Director Coin told all of the teachers. She's more than excited about the happenings in our school, so she wanted all of you to know it today!" Mr. Abernathy says.

"Tell us what?" A guy asks eagerly. I like this about Mr. Abernathy. He could make us seem like we're some five years old toddlers.

"A competition took place between some schools in the last few weeks, and Panecray was a part of it. We had to 'fight' really hard, but your great Director helped our school win."

Now he got all of my attention. I'm really curious about what kind of competition he is talking about righ now. He takes a deep breath, it seems like Mr. Abernathy loves to make every moment of his speech dramatic. "The competition's main theme was nature itself. It would like to get teens to like it more, and get them into places what are really far away from our country. We won a two-weeks trip into a Transylvanian forest."
