A/N: Ok, this is the first FanFiction I have EVER written! So I hope you all like it. Just letting you know, the characters are a little OOC, and Marissa is supposed to be Foxface, and Clove is Katniss's cousin.
Disclaimer: I don't own most of the characters. Most of them belong to Suzanne Collins.
ENJOY!
Katniss POV:
Today was just another ordinary day in Foothill High School here in Seattle, Washington. Ordinary meaning being screamed at and chased down by teachers, pulling pranks, and practically destroying the school. Later, at home, I would shut out my family by either locking myself in my room, crawling out the window, not even bothering to do my homework, which will lead to the one hundredth millionth detention I will have in a row, just so I can either get out of the house, or to hang out with my friends Glimmer, Marissa, and my cousin, Clove. Just another ordinary day.
But I don't care. Because in just two days, it's Spring Break. And I can't wait to get out of this prison.
All of us are planning to get out of Seattle and head down to California. I can't wait. The anxiety is killing me.
Clove keeps nudging me saying that Peeta Mellark, the football star, keeps staring at me. I roll my eyes at her and just focus on my food. That's when Glimmer brings out her iPod and little mini amplifier and plays remixed songs as if she was a DJ. Marissa starts dancing on the table and apparently starts a fad. I stay in my seat, humming to the songs when Clove jumps up with her.
"Come on, Katniss! Dance with us!" Glimmer says barely loud enough for me to hear her.
"Nah, I'd rather stay here," I say.
"Please!" Glimmer begs.
"Fine." I laugh as she pulls me up.
Now not only is Peeta staring at me, but everyone is staring. I mean, of course they're dancing on the tables acting as crazy as possible, but Clove, Glimmer, Marissa, and I are practically the masters in the world of Crazy. I look in Peeta's direction for half a second, realizing he's laughing and dancing on his table with his friends too. He catches me looking at him even though I only stared for barely a second. I smile. He smiles back, and I look away, remembering my crazy friends.
After lunch, Clove grabs my arm and pulls me in the Janitor's Closet.
"What the heck, Clove?" I yell at her. She shakes me back and forth, making me dizzy.
"Katniss, Peeta likes you! Couldn't you tell by the way he stared at you?" She replies.
"Yeah sure, like a football player is interested in me,"
"He is!" Clove says, shaking me once again.
"Stop shaking me!" I say, pulling away from her grip. "Anyway, I highly doubt Peeta likes me. There's no way.
"You'll see, Katniss. You'll see." Clove says while slowly walking backwards and exiting the Janitor's Closet.
Does Peeta like me? I mean, yeah, he's cute, kind, a gentleman, funny, strong, and has a beautiful way of words, but does that mean that I like him back? Hold on there, I don't know if he likes me in the first place. Maybe he stares at everyone like that. Yeah, keep telling yourself that, I think.
The next day at school, we get assigned new seats in every class. And I'm sitting right next to Peeta in all of them. Yippee.
It's time for lunch and of course, Peeta's staring at me.
"Ooh, Katniss. Looks like somebody's interested in you." Glimmer tells me in a sing-song voice.
"Shut up, Glimmer." I tell her. My friends laugh.
"Anyways," Marissa attempts to start a conversation, and I hope it works. "Wanna prank the cheerleaders?" Marissa smiles mischievously. I nod in excitement. I hate the cheerleaders. In the movies, they portray cheerleaders and the stuck up, snobby, rich girls in shorty short shorts, and a bikini top. At our school, that's basically all they are.
"So what's the plan?" I say. Marissa comes up with the idea of filling their lockers full of slime that'll ooze out as the head cheerleader, Tiffany, freaks out. Then, they have cockroaches in their pom-poms.
As Clove lets out a fake evil laugh, all of us laugh until I'm interrupted when someone taps my shoulder. I look behind me and find him.
"Hi." Peeta says.
A/N: Did you guys like it? If you did, review please! I'll try to write as much as I can during this week if you all like it. So, since I really hate Gale, and I hope you all do too, I'm not going to make him like/love Katniss. I'm just making him Peeta's best friend or something. Can't wait to read all of your reviews!
