First time they meet Katniss

Author's Note: the beginning of the story starts when they are 8 years old and Peeta and Gale are best friends and they meet Katniss. This is all Peeta's Point Of View.

Disclaimer: I do not own the hunger games.

"Hey Gale do you think that girl over there with the braid likes me?" I asked curiously.

"I don't know. Have you ever met her before" replied Gale.

"No but come on lets meet her"

I pulled my best friend Gale to the girl and stood there in front of her in silence.

"Um hi I'm Peeta and this is my best friend Gale, and I think you're really pretty" I blurted out I don't know why I said it but ever when I was 5 I liked her from the minute I saw her.

She looked at us and stared, finally she answered "hi I'm Katniss"

"Nice to meet you Catnip" Gale told her.

"It's not Catnip its Katniss" she corrected Gale.

Nobody spoke and we stood there staring at her. Finally Gale broke the silence by asking if she wanted to play with us.

Katniss hesitated for a while then replying

"Sure".

We spent the whole playing with each other and having fun and I even told Gale I like her. I'm so happy to be her friend that we met and became friends with her. When it was time for Gale and Katniss to leave I was sad. I live in town because my parents are merchants and Gale and Katniss live in the Seam where the miners and their family live. I can't wait until tomorrow so I can see them again, then I remembered I have school that day.

Next day

I was in my normal classroom waiting for Gale and Katniss because we were all in the same class. Then I spotted a girl with braided hair down her back and I knew it was Katniss so I made my way through the crowd and tapped her shoulder. Katniss quickly spun around and smiled at me. Then Gale came and said "Hi Peeta hi Catnip"

"Hi Gale" Katniss and I said at the same time.

At school we learned about the coal mines and how they work and stuff. When the last bell rang Gale, Katniss and I ran out of the classroom and out of the front gate. I took them to the bakery and showed them the cakes my mum made. We explored the town together and had fun talking about what we like to do. But then Gale and Katniss had to go back to their homes in the Seam. I made my way back home and lay on my bed thinking I'm so lucky to have Katniss as a friend I never thought I would actually meet her. I dozed off for a few hours before going to dinner.
