A/N: Okay, I guess some of you might be a little confused, so I'll explain; Katniss and Peeta have cind of "switched life". Katniss has Peeta's family and Peeta has Katniss' family. So they're names are now Katniss Mellark and Peeta Everdeen. Prim is Peeta's sister, Gale is his best friend (and hunter partner), and Katniss have two older brothers and is the baker's daughter(and she has the "Seam look" because...well, let's just pretend the baker's mother was from the Seam). Does that make any sense to you? If there is something you don't understand, just ask me.
This story takes place when they are fifteen years old and it's going to be inn both Peeta and Katniss POV. I don't know if they are going to get reaped, but I'll find out. The first and maybe the second chapter are just going to be cind of an introduction, if you know what I mean. Anyways, I'll stop talking now :P

R&R!

oOo

Peeta's POV

"Peeta?" I hear a voice I don't recognize, but that's probably because I'm half asleep. "Peeta, wake up." I open my to see my sister standing over me.

"Prim?" I say. "What time is it?"

"It's 7:30," she answers. "We have to get ready for school." That's right. It's school today.

I sigh as get up from the bed and get dressed. I make us a quick breakfast while Prim braids mother's hair. Prim and I eat, but mother doesn't even touch the food.

"You have to eat," I remind her.

"I'll eat while you're at school," she replies. I find it hard to belive her, but I don't say anything more.

"Prim, I'll go hunting with Gale afterwards," I tell her while we walk to school. "Will you take care of mom?"

"I will," she reassures me. "I'll make sure she eats."

I look down at my little sister. She's so cute and innocent, and she doesn't quite fit into the Seam. Well, me and mother doesn't either, but that's just because of our looks. If you didnt' know us you would think we were from town, because of our blonde hair and blue eyes. The only person in the family with the typical "Seam look" was dad. But he died in a mining accident when I was eleven. After that, our mother seemed to be locked into her own little world, and she didn't even take care of me and Prim. When I was twelve, I started hunting like my father used to, adn that's how I met Gale. He was in the same situation as I was. A young boy in desperate need to keep his family alive. I think back at one day three years ago, that I know I will never be able to forget.

It was the hardest time I've ever been through in my life. My father died one year ago, and my mother was a complete mess. She would only eat, sleep or sit in a chair with a distant look on her face. Prim and I were starving, and we didn't have much food or money left. I had found some of Prim's old baby clothes and tried to sell them, but I guess no one cared about a boy from the Seam. When I reached the bakery, I had lost the baby clothes a long time ago. I tried to be as quiet as possible when I looked through the trash cans. Unfortunatley, the baker's wife heard me. She came out and screamed that she didn't want any "Seam scum" stealing from her trash cans. I turned around and started walking away, but not before I saw a dark haired girl looking at me from behind her mother. Katniss Mellark. She's in my year, but that's the only reason we know each other. We're not friends, and until that day we hadn't even talked to each other.
I sat by a tree when the relization finally hit me. I hadn't anything to bring home. I was feeling terrible and just hoping I would die right there in the rain. That's when I heard the bakery door open and close again. I looked up to see that Katniss was coming in my direction with a paper bag in her hand. When she reached me, she sat down on the grass next to me.

"I'm sorry about my mother," she says while I'm wondering what she's up to. "Are you okay?" I nod in response. "Is she always like this?" I ask.

"Sadly, yes," Katniss answers. "But that's not why I'm here. Take these." She hands me the paper bag, and I open it. It contains two warm loaves of bread, and I'm surprised that she's giving me this.

"Won't you get in trouble?" I ask her.

"No, it's okay. She wont notice," She says, and I know she's talking about her mother.

"Thank you," I say to her, while she stands up.

"Bye Peeta," she says, and leaves me sitting by the tree, trying to fully absorb what just had happened.
The wierd thing is, that Katniss gave me hope. The next day I started hunting, and it didn't take long before I met Gale, who is now my best freind. I have to admit that I've always had a crush on Katniss, but after that day I totally fell in love with her.

Katniss and I haven't talked to each other since that day, but I'm still in love with her. But I also know that it will never be us. I mean, why would she want a boy from the Seam when she can have almost anyone else. I know that a lot of boys like her, and they are much better than me.

When Prim and I reach the school, Prim runs off to see Rory, Gale's younger brother. Since Gale is two years older than me, I never see him in school. But everyone knows we're friends. The hole district knows that we hunt illegally, even the Peacekeepers. The only thing that keeps me and Gale alive is that the Peacekeepers are hungry themselves, and so is the rest of District Twelve.

The only other friend I have is Madge. She's from town, but she isn't like the other town kids. She doesn't care that I am from the Seam. Being the mayor's daugther, you wouldn't think she'd be so quiet and friendly.

When I eat lunch, I sit on the same table as Madge, as always.

"Peeta, you're driving me mad, go talk to her," she suddely says. I look at her.

"What?" I say. "Talk to who?"

"Katniss,of course," she answers. "Don't be stupid, Peeta, it's obvious that you like her. You stare at her all the time. She won't notice you if you don't talk to her. You don't do anything else than staring at her all day. I mean, look! You've barely touched your food." She has a point. Katniss won't notice me if I don't talk to her.

"Okay, I'll talk to her after school."

Katniss' POV

Peeta Mellark is staring at me again. Why does he always do that? Should I talk to him? He seems nice, but I don't really know him. And it would look wierd if I just walked over to him now. I'm sitting with my friends, and if I just randomly walked over to a Seam boy, they would think I'm crazy.

I hear Alice and Delly, my two best friends, laughing. It's probaly something the boys said. They are so perverted, I mean come on, we're only fifteen! I decide to pay attention in case someone talks to me.

"Katniss, what are you looking at?" Delly asks while Alice is trying to look in the same direction as I did.

"Nothing," I say embarrassed. Yes, Katniss, just like that, I think sarcastic to myself. That probably convinced them.

"You were looking at Peeta, right?" Alice teases. "Do you like him?"

"No!" I say. "I barely know him."

"I hope you don't like him," Gabe tells me. Gabe is one of my other friends, and he has a pretty obvious crush on me. "If you do, you and I can't be a couple." While Gabe says this, Liam rolls his eyes. Alice has this big (I mean BIG) crush on Liam, and I think he might likes her back, but I'm not sure. He's really flirty, so it's hard to know.

"You're not my boyfriend, Gabe," I say.

"Not yet." He winks at me. I don't have a heart to tell him it's never gonna happen, so I just raise an eyebrow and laugh. The others start laughing too, and when we notice that the hole cafeteria is staring at us, we try to stop.

"So, Katniss, are you working tomorrow?" Delly asks.

"No, not tomorrow." I answer. Friday is my day off. "Why do you ask?"

"I was thinking we you have a sleepover," she tells me. "I asked Alice when we had math, but since you weren't there, I decided to ask you now instead." Math and history is the only classes I don't have with them. It's kind of boring without them.

"Okay, I'll ask my parents, and tell you at school tomorrow," I say.

"Can we join?" Gabe asks.

"No!" the three of us says, and start laughing.

Peeta's POV

I'm really nervous as I head to my locker. I'm going to talk to Katniss. The school day is over, and I guess this is the first time I wish it was longer. What should I say to her? To late to think about that now.

Okay, there she is. Focus, Peeta, you can do this, I tell myself.

"Hi, Katniss," I say to her. She turns around. What am I gonna do? Should I run away? No, she'll think I'm crazy.

"Hello, Peeta," she says. She smiles a little, but I guess she's just being polite.

"I was just wondering, if you want to hang out some time," I say, hoping she doesn't notice how nervous I am.

"Um sure," she answers. Woah, did she actually say that? "But I have to work today."

"I'm hunting now, but I'll come over to the bakery to trade whatever I get," I tell her.

"Good," she says. "My father loves your squirrels. I do to of course. It's much better than the meat we buy in the store."

"So, I'll see you later?" I say.

"Okay," she replies. I think she is smiling. "Bye Peeta."

"Bye Katniss," I give her a shy smile before she turns around and leaves. I finally did it. I actually talked to Katniss after all these years. I stand there a few minutes before I remember that I have to pick up Prim. When I reach the area where the younger kids are, she's standing there patiently.

"Sorry, you had to wait for so long," I apologize. "I had to talk to someone."

"It's okay," she says. "You're not in trouble, are you?"

"No, Prim, I'm not in trouble," I reassure her.

"Good," she smiles. "'Cause that's the last thing we need." I laugh, and we start heading home.
