5 year old Peeta's pov

Me and my father walk into the school and we wait in the line. He looks down at me with a smile.

"I'm very proud of you, my son." he bends down and looks me in the eye, "You're growing so fast."

I smile proudly, "I'm a big boy."

His smile broadens, "Yes, yes you are." he kisses me on the forehead and looks around the room. His eyes seem to catch on something and points to someone, "See that little girl right there?" I nod my head at the pretty girl in a red plaid dress, with olive skin, with her dark hair in two braids, "I wanted to marry her mother." I look up at him confused, "but she ran off with a coal miner instead."

"Why would she do that if she could've had you?"

He smiles once again before looking at the little girl and the man next to her, "Because, when he sings, even the birds stop to listen."

Wow he must have a very good voice to have the birds listen to him.

We make our way to the front of the line and my father gives me a hug, "I love you."

"love you too, dad."

I enter the classroom and see the pretty girl, I muster all my courage and walk straight I up to her, "Hello."

She smiles so sweetly at me it is impossible not to, "Hi." her voice is soft, and nice. "You're very beautiful." I tell her and smile from ear to ear.

She blushes an adorable red and I want to be able to see that all the time, "Thank you." she says and after a pause says, "You're very handsome to." I didn't think it would be possible but my grin is even bigger.

"Do you want to be friends?" I ask her hoping beyond hoping.

"I would love that." she says happy.

I take my seat next to her and our teacher starts talking, I try and listen but I'm too occupied by this beautiful girl and that's when I realize I don't know her name. And she doesn't know mine.

I turn to her and put my hand put my hand out and whisper, "I'm Peeta Mellark."

She takes my hand and I can't stop the feeling up electricity, "I'm Katniss Everdeen."

We turn our attention back to the teacher. Then she asks us who knows the valley song. Katniss's hand shoots straight up. The teacher puts her on a stool. I start to think if she can sing like her dad.

My thoughts die out immediately when her soft, sweet, joyfully voice begins.

Deep in the meadow, under the willow

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow

Oh my gosh.

Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes

And when again they open, the sun will rise

She has the most beautiful voice in the entire world.

Here it's safe, here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you from every harm

My mind has no way to comprehend what is happening.

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away

A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray

Forget your woes and let your troubles lay

When again it's morning, they'll wash away

Everything is quite. Even the birds outside the window.

Here it's safe, here it's warm

And here the daisies guard you from every harm

And here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where I love you

Here is the place where I love you

I am completely smitten by this girl.

Sorry it's short.
