Peeta's POV

"Mom, I don't want to go to Panem High!" Peeta tried to convince her mother that Panem High is a place where alot of kids get bullied.

"Nonsense, Peeta! You'll do just find at Panem High! Once you get there, I'm sure people will say "Hi" or something!" Peeta's mother replied.

Well, for all we know. Peeta's mother was completely wrong.

The students at Panem High weren't friendly at all. They just ignored Peeta's presence and the fact that he was a new student.

Peeta sighed, as he goes through the doors of Panem High. Will there be an adventure waiting for me? Peeta thought. Peeta went to his locker, which was locker 143. Beside him, was a girl who was busy with her own locker. Peeta was giving the girl a look as he thought that this was his chance to finally make someone his friend. His only friend. So, Peeta gathered all of his courage as he greeted the girl with a "Hi".

The girl looked at Peeta, as a smile appeared on her face. She replied, "Hello there, are you a new student? I've never seen you before"

"Well, how'd you guess, I am a new student. My name's Peeta Mellark." Peeta said, while smiling at the girl.

The girl chuckles. "Well Peeta, nice to meet you. Say, is you're name named after bread?"

Peeta was smiling at the girl. "Why yes, it is. Just like my brothers, Weet and Rye. They were also named after bread. And may I know, you're name too?"

The girl was still smiling. "My name's Katniss Everdeen."

"Nice to meet you, Katniss." Peeta replied as he hold out his hand to shake hands with her. Katniss hold out hers, and they both shaked hands.

Peeta and Katniss started talking about school, life and everything else. Peeta thought that himself and Katniss were going to be best friends. Then, a tall boy appeared from behind Katniss.

"Hey, Catnip!" They boy called out. Then, Katniss turned to reply the boy with a "Hello".

Peeta was staring at the boy. Wow, he looks amazing! Peeta thought. The tall boy had dark hair and grey eyes just like Katniss. They even look like the same. Are they siblings perhaps?

The boy paused for a moment, as his grey eyes focused towards Peeta now. "Who's this?"

Katniss now looked at Peeta and smiled. "Oh, this is the new student that we're going to have in our class. His name's Peeta Mellark."

The boy's smile now showing a welcoming sign. "Hello there, Peeta. My name's Gale Hawthorne. You'll be having the same class with us. Now, shall we go?"

Peeta nodded shyly as he followed Katniss and Gale to their classroom.

Gale's POV

Gale was searching in the hallway for his best friend, Katniss Everdeen. Gale smiled as he finally found his best friend standing at her locker with someone.

"Hey, Catnip!" Gale called out with a big grin on his face. Katniss turned around and greeted him.

Gale then turned his head a little to see that his best friend, was talking to a boy. Gale can feel butterflies in his stomach right now, as the boy now looked like an angel.

The boy was adorable, with his blond hair and also blue eyes. Gale just wanted to hug him tightly like he was his very own teddy bear.

"Who's this?" Gale said without thinking first.

"Oh, this is the new student that we're going to have in our class. His name's Peeta Mellark."

Peeta Mellark? He thought. Even his name sounds adorable too.

"Hello there, Peeta. My name's Gale Hawthorne. You'll be having the same class with us. Now shall we go?" Gale said while smiling at Peeta.

Peeta nodded shyly as Gale and Katniss lead him the way to their classroom.

Peeta's POV

After Peeta's encounter with this boy called Gale Hawthorne, Peeta felt quite weird. Peeta didn't know why, but he suddenly blushed as Gale had held his hand in case Peeta got lost. Peeta sighed, as he sat next to Katniss.

What adventures will wait for Peeta?
