Chapter One: First Day
First day of High School is either the best day or worst day. Mine was just plain confusing.
I wake up to my little sister jumping on my stomach, screaming.
"OKAY PRIM GET OFF! I GET IT. IT'S MORNING!" I shout, shoving her off of me, rolling my face into the pillow.
"Katniss! Breakfast won't make itself!" She smiles and runs into back out of my room, closing the door.
I fall out of bed, walking to my bathroom. I splash my face with water, change my clothes, braid my hair and tie up my boots. I grab my backpack, slinging it over my shoulder. "Hooray for first days," I mumble to myself, walking to the kitchen.
Prim is setting two bowls of oatmeal on the table, dancing around in her new dress I bought for her first day of school too, only she is only in 6th grade.
"Uncle Haymitch is taking me to school, but you need to walk since your school is the other way. Haymitch said so." She tells me, finishing her breakfast while I grab an apple.
"Thanks Haymitch. I'll remember that one." I roll my eyes.
"Bye Katniss!" Prim shouts as she runs out the door. I grumble again, walking to the door. I step outside and lock the door behind me before starting to walk.
Once I make it to school, two miles later, I walk in feeling tired already. I am a Junior, though I feel like a freshman, never been here before. I find my first class, ignore as many people as possible and slide into my assigned seat. I look around and laugh slightly when I see a blonde walk in with high heels and a low cut top. She grabs the first guy she sees and winks at him, seductively. I start pretend coughing once I notice her glare at me.
"Hi! I'm Annie, you are?" A small, brown haired, green eyed girl tells me as she sits next to me.
"Katniss." I say as she smiles warmly, shaking my hand.
"You're so pretty! You should be my friend. You look a bit lonely, no offense! The teacher in this class is so boring! Oh and thats Glimmer. Stay away from her boyfriends. Oh and that's Marvel and Tyler I think but no one is really sure because he changes his story constantly which I find really funny, he's kind of cute but I have a boyfriend and-"
"Do you always talk this much?" I ask her, cutting her off. She smiles and nods.
"Yes I do, actual-"
"Class! Welcome, welcome, welcome to my class! No talking, no texting, no distractions. This year will be filled with learning!" The sparkly teacher with pink hair chirps, excitedly. "I'm Miss Trinket!"
The class goes by pretty slow since I wasn't really paying attention. School was never my forte. I yawn by the time the bell rings and I grab my bag, standing.
"Katniss! You HAVE to meet my boyfriend, Finnick!" Annie squeals, pulling me towards the door. She is so annoying but she is sweet and my only friend so I might as well stick with her until she gets on my nerves. I follow her as she leads me outside to the football field. She stops and point across the field to a group of guys.
"That one is Finnick!" She squeals again, waving to him. He is absolutely gorgeous. Bronze haired, green eyed, tan, tall, muscular. He is very handsome.
"Well hello love," Finnick bends down and kisses Annie softly on the lips, "Who is your friend?" He asks, winking to me.
"Katniss! She was in my first class and she is my desk buddy! She's so pretty! How was practice? I'm hungry!" Annie says, almost too fast for me to understand what she said.
"Nice to meet you, Katniss." He said, kissing my hand, bowing slightly. He then chuckled and wrapped his arm around Annie's waist. "Where to, gorgeous?" He asks her.
"Next class!" She shouts, excitedly. Damn, how happy can this girl get? I turn around to start walking to my next class when I bump into someone, knocking me over. I look up to see a blond haired, blue eyed, scary looking guy.
"Hey sexy, I'm Cato." He says, wiggling his eyebrows at me and I scoff.
"You should watch where you're going." I mumble and stand to my feet, brushing off my pants before I continue walking to my next class. I slide into the back seat by the window and stare blankly outside.
"Hey there." Someone whispers next to me. I turn my head and see a tall, muscular, bold shouldered, dark haired, grey eyed guy. Are all the guys here strangely good looking?
"Hi." I mumble, looking back out the window.
"I'm Gale." He says, just as the teacher starts talking.
"Katniss." I whisper.
"What?" He asks back in a whisper, inching closer to me.
"Katniss." I say again, a little louder, but still in a whisper.
"Oh, nice to meet you Catnip!" He says with a small grin.
"Kat. Niss. Kat. Niss. Katniss. Not Catnip. Katniss." I glare at him, spitting my name at him over and over.
"Miss Everdeen, shhh." The teacher tells me while Gale holds in a laugh. Great.
After the class ends I walk to the girls locker room. I find my locker and start to change into my PE clothes. I look around and examine the girls. I see Annie on the other side of the room, telling a story about her and Finnick to a few girls. Then I see a girl who Annie called, 'Glimmer' showing off her curves and talking about her date for tonight. Gross.
I follow everyone out on the PE field. After our coach introduces himself, he instructs us to walk a mile. I start to walk when Annie comes to my side again.
"Hey Katniss! This is Johanna and Madge! They are super nice!" She tells me. Johanna is just as tall as me with short black hair, dark eyes and a scowl. Madge is a shorter girl with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a shy smile.
"Call me Jo." Johanna states flatly.
"Nice to meet you, Katniss." Madge says, shyly.
I nod to them as we continue walking. Annie just talks the whole time with Jo making crude remarks here and there. I smile to myself, I actually made a few friends already. Thanks to Annie anyways.
At lunch Annie makes me sit with her. I slide next to her and look who else is sitting here. Annie, Finnick, Johanna, Madge, Gale, Delly, Max, Thom, and another boy who I don't know. He is very muscular, blonde, a sweet smile, gorgeous blue eyes and flour on his green t shirt that hugs his muscles just right. I look to Annie who is talking.
"Oh and guys this is Katniss." She smiles. Everyone nods and waves to me. I flash them a smile before picking at my food again.
I look up to see the blonde boy staring at me. Once our eyes meet he looks away, talking to Johanna now. I try to not stare but he is just so freaking adorable.
"Alright Kitty Kat! Let's go!" Finnick says, purring in my ear. I roll my eyes and stomp on his foot.
"Don't call me that." I say and he laughs.
"Ouch! Hurtful!" He said with a pout.
After the next few classes, I sit in the back of Art Class. I look around, sighing. Again, no one I kind of know in this class. Someone clears their throat next to me and I snap my head up, looking over.
"Hey, Katniss right?" The blondie smiles at me, extending his hand. "I'm Peeta."
I shake his hand and smile back softly, "Hi." I say simply.
Class starts and me and Peeta make small conversation. We talk about family mostly and now school. His family owns the cafe down town too. He is a beautiful painter, he's in to sports, he is single, and attractive. I can't help but to feel warm and happy around him.
"Katniss, all you painted was a tree." The art teacher comes up and laughs slightly.
"I-I, uh I'm horrible at painting." I say shyly, looking down.
"Oh it's perfectly fine! I used to be bad too. You'll get there." He smiles.
After class was over I ran into Glimmer trying to leave the art class, which she was in as well.
"Watch it, bitch." She curses at me, chewing bubble gum when Peeta comes up behind me.
"Leave her alone, Glim." He says, wrapping an arm around me. "And stay away." He winks at her before walking with me until we're out of her view.
"What?" I ask in shock. He put his arm around me. He acted protective of me That hottie actually touched me. Does he, like me?
"Sorry, I used to date her and now shes always jealous and shes just mean in general." He shrugs, blushing slightly when Finnick, Annie, Johanna, Gale and Madge come running up.
"Did I just see what I think I saw?" Annie asks.
