"Katniss, wake up!" Yells in my ear my sister Prim causing me to fall from my bed. When I hit the floor she helps me stand up. "Are you alright? It wasn't my intention; I was worried, I'm sorry"

"Don't worry, you just scared me, I'm fine" I interrupt her hoarsely.

"Mom told me to come wake you up"

"Yeah, thank you" I go to my drawer to get my clothes but she stops me.

"I got your clothes ready and mom made breakfast" She gives me a blue skirt and a white shirt. I don't like to dress so girly but I won't break my little sister's heart.

"Thank you"

"Your welcome" She gives me a kiss and leaves

I walk to the bathroom, turn the hot water on, undress and get in.

Gale moved to California last week, so he's not in school this year. And that's bad. Bad because I don't have any friends. And today is the first day of school. Great.

I scrub my hair and face.

I don't have a boyfriend tough. I don't want any. I have lots of things to worry about, like school, and work; Oh and feeding my family.

When my dad died, my mom stopped living and I had to find a job so that we didn't die starving...My mom works too now. As a nurse in the hospital.

I stay in the water a few minutes before I get out, dry and dress. I go to the kitchen then where my sister braids my hair while I eat.

"Aren't you going to eat something?" I ask her with a mouth-full of cereal.

"No, I ate earlier" We both look at the clock in front of us: 7:30 A.M "Actually I'm leaving now, or Ill be late, bye Katniss" She gives me a hug and goes running to her bus.

"Bye Prim" I answer a little late. Then I stand up to wash the dishes but mother stops me.

"Ill do it, hurry!" She says, I nod and go for my backpack. When I'm about to get out she stops me again. "Have a nice day"

"Mmmhhhmmm, you …too" I force the words to get out of my mouth, and then I finally leave.

I still have 20 minutes so I walk at a slow pace since I get to school in 5.

My school is nice: blue and orange walls, and a lot of windows and doors.

I'm in 11th Grade now, so I have social studies for first class, so when I get in I directly go there and sit in the middle of the classroom; where 10 minutes later a girl named Madge sits next to me.

Every 10 or so minutes, a blond haired boy stares at me, and until he notices I cached him hi looks away.

The first 3 hours pass fast and I'm suddenly in the cafeteria drinking a milkshake.

I turn my head and look at Madge, Delly and Tom sitting at a table at my left. They motion me to join them and I turn around to go, but then I see the boy that was staring at me in front and I don't have time to dodge him.

I feel something hit my chest and because of the force I fall covered in chocolate; his book hits my head and he falls on his knees and everybody laughs.

"Ouch" I say and he stands up.

"Shit, are you alright? I'm so sorry" He says helping ME stand up.

I'm suddenly furious, so I shake his hands off me and stand by myself.

"Sorry I was just trying to help you" He jumps back and raises his hands.

"Well, you already did a GREAT job!" I yell and point at my shirt (Now brown). I take a deep breath."It was my fault…sorry for yelling" I turn to leave but he pulls my arm.

"No, it was my fault, sorry"

"Then your admitting that you PUSHED me" I say and raise my hands to his neck.

"No, I mean, yes but, but it was an accident, I was reading that, I didn't see you "He points at his book on the floor next to me.

"Alright, Ill just…" I walk away and sit with my new friends "Hi" I greet them angry.

"Hi, are you going to change your shirt?" Asks me Delly.

"No, I don't have any shirts" I answer.

"I have one in my locker" Joins Madge.

"How about if you go for the shirt? Katniss and me will go to the bathroom to wait" Says Delly.

"And me?" Asks Tom interrupting.

"You go and talk to Peeta, make sure his alright"

"Why?"

"Because you're his friend, you dumb ass"

"Wait, who is? Nothing, never mind" I say remembering Peeta.

I was eleven years old, and my family was starving. I was selling baby clothes, but nobody would buy them. I started walking home and then it started to rain. I stopped in front of the bakery trashcans and looked to see if I could find anything edible. His mother came out screaming at me to get away. Behind her, was Peeta. She went back in and then moments later I heard yelling in the bakery. Peeta came out with two burnt loaves of bread and a bruise on his cheek. I remember his mother yelling and scolding him. He was yelled to feed it to the pigs but he threw them in my direction. They were meant for me, so I put them under my shirt and ran home with them. My family didn't starve that night. He saved our lives. After that, I had been meaning to thank him, but I never did.

"Katniss? Wake up" Delly waves a hand in front of my face waking me from my day-dreaming.

"Sorry, I was thinking"

"Yeah, let's go!" She pulls my arm and we go running down the hallway until we get to the bathroom. "Madge will bring you a shirt…"She keeps talking but I don't listen.

I owe Peeta. I just can't be so rude to him. It was an accident. I can't keep yelling…

"Katniss here" Says Madge giving me a white shirt and breaking my thoughts, Why cant I think in peace?; then she gasps for air and sits on the floor.

I take my shirt off and put Madge's on.

"You look pretty" Says Delly.

"Yes, it looks better on you, keep it!" Says Madge.

"Really?" I ask confused.

"Yup"

"Well, thank you Madge" She nods and we leave."Girls ummm, I'm going with Liam, do you mind?"

"No, actually I don't have the same class as you; I have English so…" Answers Delly.

Both leave, so I walk to science alone.

I'm going to apologize to Peeta the next time I see .

I open the door that has marked a 22 on it and get in, I sit at the back of the classroom. But my bad luck returns when Peeta sits next to me.

"Hi" He says.

"Hi"

"How are…?"

"Okay class" Interrupts him Mr. Cap "I want everybody to turn around and look at the person that is next to you" I find Peeta staring at me with lovely eyes "Its going to be your partner for the rest of the year, so you have two minutes to change if you want to."

"Ummm, do you want to change?" I ask Peeta.

"No, if I would want to sit with other person I would, but I don't want to… I want to sit with you" I turn and find Madge sitting next to Liam.

"Ok"

"Time up… Your first project will be cells. You're going to do a…"

I just can't leave the things like that between Peeta and me now that were partners .I have to say something. I have to thank him for the bread and apologize for yelling at him.

But I'm such a coward.

"Ummm, Then where do we meet?" He asks me suddenly, again breaking my thoughts!

"What? For what?"

"For the project, where do we meet? Your or my house?"

What project? "Your house" I answer fast even if I don't know what were talking about.

"Right. Then ill meet you at?"

"At 3:00, by the main door, if you want to" Now I know what project...The one that told us to do.

"Yeah, that's awesome" He still looks at me with lovely eyes and that's scary.

When the class finishes I encourage myself and say the words. C'monn Katniss you can do it

"Err Peeta?"

"Yes?"

"Ummm… sorry about earlier, you know, for yelling at you; and thank you… for the bread… five years ago… I had been meaning to thank you, but I didn't because I didn't have the courage to talk to you, but now I have and, and thank you so much for everything" I'm talking so fast that I barely understood myself

"Katniss, you don't have to thank me, I love you, that's why I did it" He covers his mouth like he just said something bad and leaves.

I go to my next class expecting to see him, but I don't, and I don't know why but I feel sad about it.

And I don't know why I feel something in my heart when I'm with him, or next to him; it's like happiness and excitement, and need and… and… no I don't think so … LOVE?
