I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

"That one right there, at the lockers."

I lean against the locker doors and wink at Delly. She swoons. So easy. I watch as her knees go weak and she goes running into the girls' bathroom. Effortlessly, I can make any girl fall in love. It's too bad I can never fall in love with any of them. The only one I have ever wanted hates me.

Hey, I'm Peeta Mellark. Soft smooth wavy blonde hair, dimples, panty dropping smile, dark blue seductive eyes. Basically the most handsome face you could ever imagine, it will leave you breathless. Confident, funny, strong, attractive. The most common words you will hear about me. I prefer my woman brunette with grey eyes, but there's really only one in the school that actually catches my eye. Until then, I'm just going to be a player. Not picky this time, but I'm going for the girls that look like me. Blonde and blue eyes. Many in my school. That means there's going to be many to distract my self from her.

"And another one in love Mellark," Finnick states.

"Told you Odair," I claim confidently.

"Let's make a little bet, you have to get a person of my choice to be your girlfriend for a month. That's a long time but if you win, you can do the same to me. If you lose, you have to help me get a date with Annie Cresta," Finnick explains. I really what to say no, but if I win I have complete control of him dating whoever for a month. It's a good deal. When I tell him I except the bet, an evil grin comes upon his face.

"You have to get... Katniss Everdeen," he tells me. Wait did I just hear right? Katniss Everdeen? I'll never win this bet, she practically hates me.

"No way man, there's no way. Katniss is too hard, give me another person." I reason. "Not a chance dude," Oh Finnick, why you got to be so hard on me?

"Fine deal," We shake hands. This is going to be a long month.

I see her in the hallway texting. Nows the perfect opportunity to try and score a date.

"Let's go out some time Katniss," I suggest capturing her attention. Hmm, easier than I thought.

"In your dreams Mellark," I snaps. Wow this girl is hard.

I smile flashing my white teeth and lean against the wall. "I'm not taking no for an answer. Tonight, I'll pick you up at seven." I arrange.

"How do you know I won't stand you up?" A clever little one here aren't you.

"We both know you need something I have," And just like that, I'm in her head.

...

"Let's make a deal. I know you need a job so I'm prepared to give you one at my bakery. Also, I know you don't have any family so you can live in the guest room upstairs. But, you have to go on a date with me. Deal?" I go over the deal briefly so she does not know I'm doing this for a bet.

"What will happen to my job and the room if the date doesn't work out?" Oh Katniss, always so thorough.

"You'll have the job for a month or more depending on how well you adjust. If the date doesn't work out you're guaranteed to keep the job and room for atleast a month, after that your out of a job and the room is mine again." I might have sounded a little harsh saying that but that bakery is my life.

"The pay, what do I get?"

"I pay you in food from the bakery. What we don't sell by the end of the day we'll spilt up and you get $50 everyday. Oh you also can quit whenever,"

"Fine deal," Yes finally. That wasn't so hard, maybe I'll win the bet and even get to do this again with Finnick. It didn't even cost me much, we needed staff and nobody lives in that room anyways.

"You start Monday. Your shift is after school to late at night every weekday. 105 Merchant Lane." With that I walk away.

This game is just too easy.
