Katniss' POV

I sat by my bedroom window thinking about tomorrow. I was starting school in my new home, District 12. I used to live in 7, but it brought too many memories from the explosion that killed my father, so we (me, my mom and Prim, my younger sister) packed our bags and went to cold, dark and gloomy District 12 to somehow start a better life. I wasn't moved by our sudden departure because I had no friends back in 7. Prim, however, was devastated. All her friends were crying, she was crying, even her grumpy teacher started to tear up all because she was leaving. And not a single soul cried for me.

I rolled out of bed and tried to find something that would keep me warm. Of course, District 7 was one of the warmer districts, so of course all I had were t-shirts and shorts.

I managed to find a pair of sweatpants and a sweater. Well, that would have to do. I quickly brushed my teeth, put my hair in a braid down my back and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Surprisingly, I saw my mom and Prim already digging in to some eggs and toast. I was still mad at my mom for deserting us after dad's death, but I don't speak about it, because I hate her.

After eating, I quickly said goodbye to Prim and started walking to school. Once I got there, I saw how everyone was in their own groups, whispering, laughing and talking about crazy things. I felt kind of sad to not have anyone to laugh with, but I told myself to just focus on my grades, for now.

I walked into the office and told a skinny lady, probably in her 80's, my name. "Oh, you must be Katniss Evergreens,"she exclaimed. "No, its Everdeen." I said, annoyed. Is it that hard to read my name? "Okay, whatever you say Everbean." I sigh. It's going to be a long year.

The hearing-impaired secretary gave me a schedule. Great, my first class was math. Ugh, I hate math. I get going to my class. I got there just in time and sat down in the very back of the class. I really want to get the day over with.

The teacher came in. He says his name was Mr Paul. He looks kind of chubby and he has a bald spot at the top of his head.

"Good morning class. I will be your math teacher for this term. I believe we have a new student this year. Katniss Everbean, please come up and introduce yourself." I sunk low in my seat. Stupid secretary, I thought. I felt Mr Paul's eyes boring into my scull and I slowly got up and walked to where he was standing. He tells me to talk about myself. Okay, that sounds easy enough. "Hello. My name is Katniss Everdeen. My family just moved here two days ago from District 7. I have a younger sister named Prim, and I like to hunt for game in the woods." I heard some kids start to snicker. "Um…ya," I said quietly. "Thank you, Katniss," he said. I thought I heard some irritation in his voice. Whoops.

After math, I headed outside. Two boys approached me. They both looked handsome, but the on the right really stuck out to me. He had amazing blue eyes and a handsome smile and boyish blond hair. He wasn't even handsome. He was wow.

The boy on the left with black hair and grey eyes started talking to me. He could be my brother. "Hey," he says. "Um, hi." The boy on the right is just staring at me. He smiles.

"Um… my name's Gale Hawthorne and this handsome fellow is Peeta Mellark. We were just wondering if you would like to sit with us at lunch," he asked. "Um, okay," I said quietly. The blue-eyed boy….Peeta smiled even bigger. Wonderful.

Peeta's POV

She was gorgeous. And staring at me! I wanted to say something, but I was completely speechless. We walked towards our table and I sat down beside Katniss and Gale sat on the other side of her.

Madge, Annie and Finnick came in later on, of course, laughing there heads off. "Guys, Finnick started mouth-farting in the middle of class, and the teacher's just like…um, Peeta, Gale, who is she?" Annie was pointing at Katniss with a weird look on her face. "Guys this is…." Gale started. "Hi, I'm Katniss, nice to meet you!" Katniss interrupted. She put out her hand for Annie. "Hello! I'm Annie, this is Finnick, my boyfriend, and that, she pointed at Madge, is Madge!" She shook Katniss' hand with pleasure. "Sup." Finnick smirked. "Hi." Madge said shyly.

Suddenly, my girlfriend, Clove, came over to me. "Peeta? Sweetie? Please come over here…now," she hissed. Clove was so annoying, I was gonna break up with her, but I didn't know when to. "I've seen you looking at her. You like her. Ugh. But just remember, you're my boyfriend, do I have to remind you?" Clove was mad. "Not anymore," I muttered. "Excuse me?" She looked shocked. "I said, we're done. Over. Finished. Bye Clove. You know, it's not nice to talk about other people. You should know that by now." I walked away proudly.

"What did she say? She looked pretty mad, you know…" Finnick asked. "I broke up with her!" I smiled. "Oh, Peeta, I feel so bad for you!" Annie said. I thought she hated Clove.

"Speaking of boyfriends and such, Katniss, did you have one?" Gale asked. "No," she responded. "What? How could somebody not want to be your boyfriend…." I said. Did I actually just say that out loud. Oh my gosh. "Oh..Thanks…" Katniss was blushing really hard. I'm sure I was too.

Gale, Annie, Finnick and Madge were all looking at me with raised eyebrows. "Peeta…?" Annie started. "Well, we gotta get going to class. See you later, lovebirds." Finnick smirked.

"Um, Katniss, don't you have class now? I asked. "No, its my free period." She responded shyly. We were both blushing. She probably hates me now. Shoot. I messed up so bad.

Suddenly, Katniss locked her lips on mine. After a few seconds she stepped back. "Thanks for what you said. It was very sweet." And then she was gone.

I was still processing what had just happened when I got a full blow to the back of my head. Then everything went dark.
