Katniss POV
*BEEP BEEP BEEP* my alarm clock buzzed and that's when it finally hit me. Today was my first day as a junior. I sighed and hit the OFF button on the clock. I hopped out of my bed, drew the red velvet covers and jumped into my shower. I pulled out my braid and let the warm water run over my tough skin. I grabbed a strawberry scented body wash that my friend, Madge Undersee gave me. She is totally OBSESSED with strawberries, it's kind of crazy, but, I still love her. After conditioning my hair, I stepped out onto the cold tile floor and pulled my forest green towel around my body. I slid on my favorite undies and then put on a dark pink v-neck three quarter sleeved shirt and black skinny jeans, paired with my beautiful brown hunting boots. I pulled my brown hair into a side braid opposite of my side bangs, which I teased a bit to help them swish. I grabbed my phone and ran down the stairs to find Primrose looking up at me with her mouth wide open. "Little duck, stop staring!" I cried and she responded with, "But, Katniss, you're just so beautiful!" I blushed and thumped her on the head. "You too, Prim." She giggled and did my makeup, and it actually looked pretty good! She put pink blush on my cheeks, forest green eye shadow on my lids, black eyeliner and mascara on me. "Thanks." I say right when my mom walks down the stairs. "Okay, first to the middle school for Prim's first day of 7th grade, and then to the high school for Katniss' first day of 10th grade!" "No it's okay mom, Finnick is giving me ride today." "Okay, just be safe!" As soon as she left my phone rang. "HELLO?" Finnick cried through the phone. "What Finnick? No need to be so loud!" I said. "Oh, sorry, I'm outside." I hung up and hopped into the front seat of his teal car. "OFF TO HIGH SCHOOL!" he yelled. "So, guess what!" he said using his mock gay guy voice. (NO OFFENCE TO GAY GUYS, I LOVE YOU ALL!) I laughed and said, "Oh God, I'm scared to find out." He rolled his eyes and continued. "So, there's this new boy, named Peeta Mellark, and he's super cute." "Whoa Finnick, is there something you're not telling me?" I said in fake shock. "KATNISS EVERDEEN YOU HAD BETTER SHUT UP OR I WILL MAKE YOU WALK TO SCHOOL!" he screamed, then finished. "Any ways, his parents just bought the bakery near my house so we kind of bonded, and I'm like his only friend, and you two would make a wonderful couple!" I laughed and then said, "But Finny, we're dating! Why would you say that?" before he could answer, I hopped out of the car. I strutted over to my new locker and it popped open automatically. I look to my right and see Clove has the locker there, and I guess she's alright. And to my left, is this new kid. "Hello. My name is Katniss." I said happily. He turned and said, "Oh, uh, my name is Peeta Mellark" he said shyly. "Can I help you find any of your classes? Don't worry, I don't bite, and I'm best friends with Finnick!" I said he nodded his head and it turns out we have all of our classes together.

Peeta's POV
After getting my schedule, I headed towards my new locker. So far, life here in 12 hasn't been so bad, I already have a few friends and no one hates me…. After I try my combo a few times, my locker finally opens, and I toss my books in there. I pulled out my phone and shot Finnick a quick text. "I'm locker 87, you?" what stopped me from sending it was a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see the most beautiful brown haired girl I had ever met. She was talking to me, but her beauty distracted me, and the only thing I caught was her taking me to all of my classes (and we had all of them together! SCORE) I sat in a chair in the back of the room, near the window, and Katniss took the seat next to me. Then I saw Finnick come in and instantly all of the girls gasped and sighed, but who could blame them? He was pretty gorgeous. "Peeta, Hey!" he called, and smiled, I waved and made small talk until a tall, muscular guy, with deep brown hair, olive skin and grey eyes came in. "Hey Catnip!" he called. Who's Catnip? I asked Finnick. He replied with, "Oh, that's Gale, Katniss' bestest friend ever. He calls her Catnip cause that's what her thought her name was when her first met her." "Oh, okay." Katniss sat on his lap and he started playing with her hair. Wait. WHAT? "Whoa…." I said. "Oh no, don't worry, they're not dating, their like brother and sister! HAHA" he was cracking up. He wiped a tear from his cheek and then said, "That would be weird, and I'm dating Katniss though." Oh god donut! "Wait, seriously?" He could hear the desperation in my voice. "Yes, one whole month." He said proudly.
TIME FLASH TO LUNCH
Katniss' POV
Yay! Lunch time! I ran to my locker, and waited for Peeta. He finally caught up and pulled out a brown paper bag, and I led him to the cafeteria. "Hey, I'll be right back, but have a seat, this is my table." He agreed and sat down. After getting my pizza, I sat across the table from him. "So, Finnick told me about you two." I giggled and said, "Yeah, he's so sweat and charming." Then he entered the room. His bronze hair reflected the light and made it look so shiny and soft. I sighed as Glimmer strutted her skinny ass over to him. "Hey Finnick!" she winked and Finny just turned and sat next to me. "Hey Kitty" "Hey Finny" he gave me a peck on the cheek and I saw Peeta staring. That's weird… "So Peeta, how has your day been so far?" I asked blushing. "Um, pretty good." "Ah." Was all I could say. Just then Cato walked over. "HEY PEETA!" he screamed. I seriously HATE Cato. He's such a jerk, and he's friends with Peeta? "Cato, please leave me alone, I told you I'm not giving you the math test answers!" Oh, that's why he's here. He kept making fun of Peeta saying something about a girl on fire…. "So who's your girlfriend Katniss?" He asked me, obviously assuming Peeta and I were together because we hadn't left each other's sides all day. "Listen Cato, shut up right now before I punch you in the face. Peeta is just a friend and you're being incredibly rude."
Peeta's POV
"Peeta is just a friend and you're being incredibly rude." The words circled in my head. I shook my head and then glanced to the girl staring at me from across the room. I snickered a bit and when she noticed, she quickly blushed and turned her head away. My gaze never dropped from her as I asked, "Hey. Who's that? She was staring at me." The entire table burst out in laughter. While rubbing her cheeks from the fresh tears, Johanna Mason, a scary but somewhat pretty girl replied with, "You're JUST now realizing that people have been staring at you?" Another wave of laughter swarmed the table. "Excuse me, what do you mean?" This time Finnick was wiping his tears, "Dude, almost ever female in this school has been eyeing you! Freshmen, Seniors, all of them!" Wow, was I really that attractive? "Oh…" "HAHAHAHA" Katniss was holding her sides mascara running down her face. "God dangit Peeta, YOU RUINED MY MAKEUP!", another wave of laughter. I have to admit, even this time I giggled a little. "WHO THE FUGE IS THAT?!" I yelled. "Oh, it's Clove Sheath. She's always caring a knife in her boot and in my opinion she's a bit creepy." Those were the first words I had heard Fitch say, although she preferred to be called 'Foxface'. "Ah, well-"the school bell cut me off and Katniss dragged me into the girls' bathroom with her. "Katniss, I can't be in here! It's the GIRLS bathroom! I'm pretty sure I have balls." Okay, bad word chose… I'm usually so good with words but Katniss makes me flustered. She blushed a deep shade of crimson. "Urm..Uh…" and then she burst out into laughter again. "And besides, we need to get to class." "Oh, no need, gave us permission to skip her class because we're both so wonderful at math." Oh, that's weird. "Oh, okay, but why are we in here?" She instantly face palmed and then said, "I OBVIOUSLY need to fix my makeup." I rolled my eyes and she got to work.
Katniss' POV
I can't believe Peeta just confirmed that he had balls. TOO FUNNY! After finishing my makeup, I decided to show Peeta around the school. "Okay, I'm finished!" I chirped. I saw a wave of relief come onto Peeta's face. Just as we were turning to leave to door swung open. "Shiza" I whispered. Just then, the glorious Clove walked into the bathroom, unaware of Peeta hiding in the stall closest to me. "Hey Clove!" I said. "Hey, just came to fix my makeup." After a few moments of silence I spoke up. "So, Clove, what do you think of Peeta, the new student?" She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, I haven't really met him, but he's super cute!" without thinking I responded with: "Yeah, totally! Me and Finnick are going downhill, were just going to be friends." Aw, that sucks! I guess Peeta will be an option than!" she winked her left eye, smearing wet mascara under it. "URGH" "Yeah, I think I might ask him out." Oh shoot, I totally forgot that he was in here! I heard him snicker from the stall and Clove left. "Oh he's so freaking adorable right? O.M.G!" Peeta said mimicking the same gay guy voice that Finnick uses. "SHUT UP PEETA MELARK I WILL SLAP YOU" I screamed. "Gurlll he be fineeeeeee" He called, and then my hand collided with his arm. "Ouch you bastard!" he cried. "I was just trying to shoo Clove away!" He snickered again, and raced out of the bathroom to our next period.
TIME FLASH TO GYM
Peeta's POV
Time for gym! Finnick decided to be a douche and tell me to go into the wrong locker room, and there I was greeted by a topless Katniss. "PEETA, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE! YOU'RE LUCKY NO ONE ELSE IS IN HERE!" She was trying to suppress a smile. "Oh, Finnick told me this was the guy's locker room, sorry, this is really embarrassing…." "Then stop looking at me!" she said, "Then put a shirt on!" She started laughing and then I ran into the guy's locker room, greeted by a naked Finnick. "Nice briefs Finnick." He was laughing uncontrollably. As revenge I said, "Dang, your girlfriend sure looks good without a shirt on!" He blushed so red; he looked like a cherry lollipop! "Not cool dude." Gale was cracking up and this kid Marvel was just staring at us like we were crazy. "I swear, none of the girls even show up to change until like 5 minutes before the bell rings!" "Obviously not Finnick!" After we finished changing, we caught up with Katniss to do our warm-ups. "Oh hey there…" I said blushing. "Peeta, it's fine, it's just like I was wearing my bikini!" I laughed at her attempt to make it all better. She's so nice. "Turns out, me and Clove have a lot in common, we became fast friends!" She said happily. As the gym began to fill, Boggs started the class. "Okay, we are going to train with weapons, GO CRAZY!" We all picked a weapon of choice. Katniss and Gale at the archery station, Finnick with the tridents, Marvel with spears, and me with the knives. In no time at all, Clove came over and hit every target in the bulls eye. I glanced at Katniss and Gale, not missing one bull's eye. All too soon, school was over and I changed into my normal clothes, and just so ironically, Katniss pranced in when I wasn't wearing a shirt. "Nice bra Peeta" she said trying to make fun of me. "Shut up!" After my goodbyes, I walked home, surprisingly; Katniss' house is super close to the bakery. As soon as I got home, I collapsed on to my bed, falling into a dreamless sleep.
Okay, so I hope you guys like it, I'm sick, and a lot of this is just word vomit. Maybe you can tell, but I hate cussing so not too much shall be used. In case you're wondering, Katniss is based a lot off of me. SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER MY LOVELIES!
~Xoxo,
