Summary: What if Katniss tries to repay Peeta? Will she see him as a friend or more? Will Gale accept it? This is a school life. *No Hunger Games from the start*

The day starts as usual; I wake up early to get ready for school. I change from my green tank top and shorts to a blue shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans, then I cover myself with my black jacket. When I get downstairs, I see Prim squatting down to the floor, feeding her cat, Buttercup.

"Good morning, Katniss," she greets me as she sees me while standing up straight.

"Morning, little duck," I say and kiss her cheek. I look around the living room and the kitchen. "Where's mother?"

"She went out to buy some stuff."

I nod, and then I take a quick gulp of tea that has been prepared on the table and a bite of bread. The bread reminds me of the story that happened five years ago.

My father was killed in the explosion in the mine, leaving Prim, our mother and I to live on our own. His death drastically hurt my mother and she just sat on the chair, staring at the window as if she was waiting for father to return. Since then I had been taking care of the whole family because I was the oldest child. I couldn't find enough money at that time and we were starving to death. I ran to the town to find some food. That was how I ended up at the bakery. I smelt the nice aroma of fresh bread and tried to ask for some from the baker but instead his wife threw me out off the bakery. I thought it was the end for me and my family. Then I heard a scorching sound. The witch was shouting at his son for burning some bread. I look at the breads in his arms, and then I noticed his eyes were staring at me. After his mother went inside to the bakery, he threw the breads to me and before he got inside, I saw a bruise on his cheek. I took the breads home and fed them to my family. And that was how my family lived till today. I owe that boy who I call the Boy with Bread so much.

The flashback gets interrupted when Prim calls my name.

"Katniss? Are you okay?" She waves her hand in front of my face.

I shake my head and ask her, "Yeah. So are you ready yet?" I grab my backpack that is lying on the couch.

"In a minute," she merely answers. She runs upstairs to take her bag and a minute later she returns. "Okay, let's go."

We get out of the house and walk on the rocky path to the town then we arrive in front of the school.

"Be careful, okay?" I look at Prim and straighten her dress.

"You too," she says, smiling then runs to the junior-high school's building and waves at me.

I wave back then I walk upwards the stairs in front of me and open the doors of the high school building. After that, a crowd of students appear before me. Some of them are talking with their friends near their lockers while others are either taking things out of their lockers or put them inside the lockers. Only one person that manages to attract my attention: Delly Cartwright. She is a very beautiful girl with a blonde hair and fair skin. She wears a fancy, pink, long-sleeved shirt with a black a skirt that is so short that I can see her thighs. Compared to me, we're totally in two different worlds. There is only one thing that is common between us; our age. She's with her two best friends, Kelly and Diana, gathering around a girl, probably younger than them.

"Did you just bump onto me?" I hear her speaks harshly.

But the girl stays silent, obviously scared.

"You deaf? Speak up!" The girl with red hair, Diana orders her the pushes the girl against a locker, making a loud bang.

People just walk by as if nothing is happening. Then I remember why they wouldn't try to stop her; she's the head cheerleader and she's the most popular girl in this school. Most people in the school dare to listen to her as long as they get out of trouble, but I'm not one of them.

I walk towards them and grab Delly's shoulder.

She turns around and speaks with a low, threatening voice, "What do you want, Seam girl?"

I ignore her insults and say, "Leave her alone."

"Oh. So you're gonna apologize for this scrawny girl?" She asks, crossing her arms against her chest.

"No."

"Then get your ass out of people's business!" She yells at me and shoves me hard on the shoulders, making me walk back a little.

I clench my fists and feel like punching her on the face when eyes begin to stare at us the moment the words come out of her mouth.

"What's going on here?" The headmaster, Snow comes and interrupts us.

"Nothing, sir. Just some misunderstanding," says Kelly with an awkward smile.

"Is this true, Miss Cartwright? Miss Everdeen?"

After glaring at me, Delly looks at the headmaster with an innocent smile. "Yes, sir. I was just helping this girl here from getting hit by this Seam girl." She holds the girl's shoulder.

"Is it true, Miss Everdeen?" He asks me.

I loosen my fists and simply shake my head as a 'no'. Then the bell rings, telling us that it's time for the first class to start.

"All right. Everyone go to your classes. And you, Miss Everdeen, I shall let you go this time," Snow warns me.

People begin to walk away and so do Delly and her friends. I see her point her middle finger at me when the headmaster isn't looking at her, telling me that this isn't over yet. I look at the bullied girl.

"Thanks for saving me," she says.

"Anytime."

She walks away to her class without telling me her name, not that I mind though. I walk to my History class and find an empty seat. I hear someone making a 'psst' sound and I turn around to see Delly sitting quite far away from me. I forgot that today we have the same class for the first period. She smiles mischievously at me and reminds me of this morning's event. I turn around from her and focus on the teacher, Miss Effie who starts to babble about today's topic. And I think of only one thing in my head, today's not going to end well.

So yeah this is my first chapter for my new story, and tell me what you think. Reviews are always welcomed.
