Johannna was wallking through the hall full of students. Being new sucked. She finally found her locker, and opened it. The girl next to her was kissing a boy. She made a sound of disgust and the two lovers stopped kissing.
" hey, I'm peeta" the blond boy introduced himself. " and this is katniss" he introduced the dark haired girl.
" I'm jo" i say.
" well, it's a pleasure to meet you" he says" i gotta go, honey, see you After class!" He says pecking her lips. He leaves. I go back to stuffing my locker. Katniss looks at my schedule.
" hey, we're in the same class!" She exclaims. I just nod. When the Bell rings, i go to my english class. I sit beside katniss. When the teacher enters, every students shuts up.
" hello, my name is Portia, and i'll be your teacher for the year." She starts.
The class goes pretty quickly, and when the Bell rings, i go to science class alone.
The teacher, m. Beetee, is really a kind man. My lab partner is a tan Guy with bronze hair. He turns to me with a big grin on his face.
" heyyy, beautiful! New?" He asks.
" yeah. " she answered. He looked at her with his Green sea eyes.
" you want a sugar cube?" He asks showing her the little cubes in his hand.
" eh, i think i'll pass." She said. He popped one in his mouth.
"Mr. Odair, would you stop eating in class and start listening?" Mr Beetee said.
He mumbled something as i laughed. When the class ended, The guy ran After me.
" hey, you never told me your name" he says.
" Jo." I say.
" so, jo, would you come hang out with some friends of mines After school?" He asks me. " we're having a fire, some beer, very friendly," he adds.
" yeah, sure." I answer. Meeting new friends was not as complicated as i thought, finally. " i'll wait for you in the parking lot." I say. He nods, then leaves with a wink.
I go to my locker, and takes my lunch money. In the cafeteria, I grab a tray and start putting food on it. When I'm done, i sit alone at a table. I start eating the disgusting food, when two people sit at my table.
" hey, what are you doing alone?" Peeta asks.
" teaching monkeys how to dance, of course!" I say with sarcasm. He laughs.
" you're like Katniss," he laughs again. Katniss pouts." Anyway, come and eat with us!" He proposes. I oblige and follow them outside the cafeteria. We take the stairs, and Reach the roof. On it, there's a little garden, and two guys are sitting on the edge, legs in the empty.
" hey, guys! " Katniss yells. They both return, and i recognize the bronze haired dude.
" Hey, Jo, want a sugar cube?" He teases me.
" hi" i say. The other guy, gets on the roof, and grabs a backpack. He has short Brown hair, and He's looking pretty handsome.
" so, katniss, you brought the food?" He asks. She nods and throw at him her purse. He catches it with a hand. He turns to me:" dont eat the cafeteria food. You'll get sick." He grabs my tray, and throws the food of the roof. Then, he grabs his backpack and sets a blanket on the floor. We all sit on it, and Katniss introduces me.
" so, guys, this is Jo, she's new here." She says. " Jo, apparently, you've met finnick." She says as she turns to me.
" hell yeah, we met!" He says with his smirk.
" did he do the sugar cube thing?" Peeta asks. I nod yes. " he does that every Time he meets a girl. " he sighs.
" and, this is Gale." She says pointing the handsome guy. He salutes her.
" what does jo stands for?" He asks.
" johanna." She answers.
finnick open Katniss purse and gets out two snickers, three mars bars, a caramilk, and two gummy bears sack.
" Eat up, guys!" Katniss says. We share the candies, and the gang talk about their first day of school. Gale is staring at me. I ignore asks: " so, where are you from?" " canada" i answer. He retrives a laugh, and i punch his arm.
" we should get ready, now," peeta announces, an hour later.
We clean the place up, and Gale folds the blanket. He walks the stairs down with me. " so, you're coming to the party tonight?" He asks. " maybe." I answer.
" i'll be by your house at Seven!" He says as he walks away.
In french class, the teacher is an annoying lady perched up on high heels, and she seems to have a problem with me.
*" Bonjour, je suis mademoiselle Trinket. Je suis votre professeur. " she says with her annoying voice.
" Bonjour, mademoiselle Trinket." The students echoes.
She orders us to write about us, and who we are as an introduction. Then, she wants us to read it in front of the class. Since nobody wants to, she picks people ramdomly.
" you, with the brown hair" she says pointing to me.
I get in front of the class, and start reading my paper.
**" je m'appelle johanna mason" i start with a perfect french accent." J'ai 17 ans, et je suis née au Québec, au canada. Quand j'avais 7 ans, mon père est parti, nous laissant ma mère et moi. Nous avons emménagé ici pour suivre son nouveau mari.
Souvent, ils travaillent, et je suis seule chez moi. J'aime croire qu'ils m'aiment encore. Comme quand j'étais enfant. J'aime croire que quand ils partent, ils ne reviendront pas. " the tears come to me. I finish my oral, and go sit at my place. Then, Peeta starts to clap. And the whole class does. The Bell rings, and mrs Trinket
chirps.
***" Le reste des exposé se feront le prochain cours!"
When i get home, my mom is sleeping on the couch, clutching a bottle. I take it and pour it In the sink. I go to my room and text Gale My address. I make dinner for me and leave a plate in the fridge for when my mother Will wake up. I go to my room and change into mini shorts and a t-shirt. When Gale arrives, I'm on the sidewalk, waiting for him. I get in his truck and he whistles.
When we Reach peeta's home, he and Katniss are by the fire, cuddling. The fire is in Peeta's backyard. We can see the beach from his balcony. Finnick arrives with Beer and marshmallows. gale and i dont drink, And neither do peeta and Katniss, Finnick is the only one drunk, and it's pretty funny.
" Party rock, all night!" He sings loudly and offkey. We laugh. Finally, I decide to go on the beach and Gale volunteers to come with me. It's still hot, but it's dark outside. The moon is the only light in the sky. I walk in the water, my shoes in my hand. I throw them in the sand, and go back to walking.
" Hey, Wanna swim?" I ask Gale.
" you have a swim suit?" He ask me. I take off my top and my shorts. He grins, and takes of his shirt. We jump in the water, splashing eachother. I let myself float, but I'm interupted when Finnick Jumps in the water.
" I CAN DO ANYTHING! NANANANANANANANA! " he sings again. Then he gets out of the water and runs on the sand. katniss and Peeta arrives.
" Wanna joins us?" I offer. katniss takes off her clothes and jump in The water in her underwear, but peeta stays on the beach. He looks at us. While Katniss and Gale splash each other, i get out of the water, and sit next to peeta.
" hey, why dont you come?" I ask him softly.
" i cant" he says flatly. He lifts his pants up, and i see his leg. It's a mix with metal and plastic. " doesn't go in the water"
" mind if i ask how?" I ask.
" Cancer. Last year. That's how i met Katniss. Her mother worked at the hospital, and katniss was waiting for her. I fell in love with her right away. " he explains.
" how do you know you like someone?" I ask.
" you feel it inside. When this person talks to you, or texts you, you feel butterflies in your stomach. You can't stop smiling when you think of her. " he says.
Right then, Gale Puts his shirt on my shivering body. i Look at him and he smiles. I feel my stomach flip.
Oh shit. I'm Falling for Gale.
