7:00 a.m.

Today it's the first day of school, a new school, but I don't care about it so much.

I've been always a silent boy, with not so many friends, in fact I've only a friend here: Delly Cartwright.

Delly is the typical blonde girl very friendly and popular, I met her this summer and we became friends quickly.

"Peeta!" screams mum from downstairs.

Yes: Peeta is my name.

"Mum, I'm awake!" I scream, too.

I jump off the bed to go to the bathroom and, before having a shower, I look at myself in the mirror: blonde, with blue eyes, slim…I'm all of this, but I'm still not happy about myself.

I take off my clothes and I have a shower.

Under the shower, I always think about my life: will I be able to have friends this year? Who cares? Life is long, there's time to have friends.

I quickly dress up because mum is already in the car, honking.

I don't care so much about clothes, so I only wear a long, large and blue sweatshirt and a pair of jeans.

"C'mon!" mum screams.

My mother isn't the typical lovely mum, no: she always screams at me, only me!

"Calm, I'm here" I say, opening the car door.

I sit down, listening to "Viva la vida" by Coldplay.

After ten minutes, I think, we're at school: my new school isn't something so special like everybody in this city said…it's a school.

I enter to school and immediately people look at me: I feel like I'm the new pet.

I can hear someone saying: "I've never seen this guy" or "Who is he?" and I just ignore them.

I really wish Delly was here, but I think she's with her friends.

Time passes quickly: math, lunch, history, feeling alone.

Outside it's raining, I'm glad that I'll come back home with a car.

Mum is already there when I see Delly: she has her long and blonde hair in a braid and she's wearing a shirt and a skirt.

"Peeta!" she waves at me.

"Hi Delly!" I say with a big smile.

"Peeta listen: this evening I'll have a party, join please!" she says trying to convince me.

"Okay" I reply.

Maybe this will be the chance to have some friends.

"YES! See you this evening at my house, 10 p.m." she smiles and goes away.

A party: well I didn't expect that, I honestly thought to spend my evening playing videogames.

"Mum this evening I'm going to Delly's party!" I exclaim happily.

"Good to know so maybe you'll finally have a girlfriend" she replies.

This is funny because I don't like girls.

Once we're at home, I do my homeworks and I text Delly.

"How many people there will be?" I ask.

"A loooot of!" she replies.

"I reccomend you: be sexy, you might meet the love of your life ;)" she writes.

I think this is the first time I've to dress up in a decent way.

I go to my small and all painted room and I open my wardrobe.

I search for some clothes quickly and, after minutes and minutes of searching, I finally find something: a white shirt, a pair of tight jeans and a pair of vans.

I run in the bathroom before my brother does it.

I've a relaxing and long shower, singing Coldplay's songs.

I steal dad's perfume: today I don't have to look like a homeless.

I dress up and I comb my hair in a quiff, then I look in the mirror: even in this way, I don't like myself.

"Mum I go" I exclaim.

She doesn't reply.

Even if it's not 10 p.m. o'clock, I'm already going out because I want to stay a bit in the park I've always seen going to the beach.

The park is near my house and it isn't so big, but I love it: it's simple and relaxing.

I arrive in the park and I sit down on a bench, looking at the tree and the children playing, the couples kissing.

"Can I sit here?" someone asks.

"Sure" I reply not looking at him.

I'm not looking at him, but his voice sounds so soft and hot, I'm so curious to see his face.

I look at him: a handsome guy with tanned skin and green eyes, messy bronze hair and a beautiful smile.

He's wearing a tight shirt which shows his muscular body, a pair of jeans not so tight but that shows his slim and muscular legs and black vans: he so hot!

"Thank you" he says.

I don't even listen to his voice, I only look into his beautiful eyes.

"You're welcome" I whisper.

"My name's Finnick Odair, by the way" he shakes my hand.

"Peeta Mellark" I say, still looking at him.

"Now I've to go, Peeta Mellark" he replies.

"Oh me too or I'll miss the party" I stand up.

"I'm going to a party too!" he exclaims.

"Are you going to Delly's party?" I ask, hoping a "yes" as answer.

"Yes!" he answers.

Yes!

"Great…so, let's go" I say shyly.

Finnick and I talk about our lifes and everything going to Delly's party: he's really funny and I already know that he will be important in my life.

We knock the door.

"Peeta …and Finnick" she says looking at us with a smirk.

"Come here!" she exclaims, greeting us.

Delly's house is really big: she has a pool, three floors and a private gym.

"Guys you're just in time for truth or dare" she screams because of the music.

Oh, no! I hate truth or dare.
