Delly age:5
I walked up the steps of my new classroom . I was in kindergarten! And so scared! All these people I didn't know, that creepy lizard on the back wall, our old and wrinkly teacher. I guess you could say I was shy.
When the bell rung for us to come inside, I hugged my brother who dropped me off and stiffly sat down in the circle with the other kids. I was so nervous when the teacher began to speak.
"Hi kids my name is ! I'm your new teacher! This year we're gonna have so much fun learning new things and meeting our new friends!" She gestured toward all the other students. "Let's start by saying our names. We'll go around the circle and when it's your turn say your name and one fact," it started with Jerry who said he liked the lizard on the wall. Eventually it came to a boy named Peeta who said he was a baker. A thought creeped into my head, I wonder if he knows how to make cookies? Then it was my turn.
"Uh…My name is . . Delly . . I uh…I like cookies?" Peeta smiled and looked over.
"I make cookies almost everyday !"he whispered to me. I beamed! Does this mean we're friends?
"Wanna be my friend?" I asked him nervously
"Sure Dells!" I already had a nickname.
"Yay! Then I'll call you Peets!"
Later we were learning to write our names on a paper. Something I learned in preschool. My blonde hair was shielding my face from scary strangers. And my blue eyes carefully watched my hand flow across the paper.
"You have good writing," Peets complimented me pulling away my hair to see my name written 10 times across the paper.
"Thanks," I blushed , "I wanna be a writer when I grow up."
"That's cool! I wanna be an artist!" He smiled bright, but his face suddenly hollowed and his smile went away. "but I have to be a baker like the rest of my family. It's fun but I'd rather make my own choices…"
"Me too…I have too become a girl who watches the kids and cleans the house…"
Later in music class I stood with my new friend Peets in the middle row. We were singing well… not so good. Then we did solos. First to raise their hand was a girl named Katniss Everdeen. I already felt small compared to her. Especially after she sang. All the birds and everything else was quiet. It was amazing. And she intimidated me but at the same time I looked up to her like she was a superstar. I wanted to be just like her. Even when I caught my new best friend eyeballing her like she was a million bucks. For some odd reason, even though I just met him, that shattered me. What was this feeling? Whats going on! It doesn't feel good either way!
I know this is short but I was kinda running out of ideas. I really was just making this kind of a summary in a way…. Please review and keep reading! I have a feeling it's gonna be great! And tragic…and adorable…and sweet…and a little romantic (wink wink) So basically Delly's life with Peeta. So please keep reading! And review! I love reviews!
