PeetaXGale

Whispers in the Night

Today was Peeta's first day at Collins Prep High School the highest praised high school in all Panem. He was a Sophomore and this was a new school for him. He used to go to Suzanne High School but when his father won a 5.2 million dollar lottery drawling that The Capitol has every year. He and his family which consisted of 2 brothers Brandon and James and his mother and father Emily and Jack and their Basset Hound Roofus.

Peeta was heading to school when an attractive young man walked up to Peeta and introduced himself, "Hello, I am Gale Hawthorne, President of the Student Council." "Hi I am Peeta Mellark. Nice to meet you Gale." Peeta said familiarizing himself with the young mans name. "Would you like a tour of Collins?" Gale asked noticing Peeta's eyes glancing around the grounds of the school and looking at his small map of the school grounds that came with his schedule. "Yes, that would be lovely." Peeta replied reveling in the fact that this very attractive guy was even talking to him. Alright Peeta, Gale is just doing this because he is the president of the Student Council. NOT because he is attracted to you alright! Peeta thought to himself. Meanwhile Gale was thinking, I am glad that I am the Student Council President other wise Peeta would see right through me and see that I am gay and think that he is cute.

Gale explained to Peeta that the school's layout was pretty simply. " You have four main halls; Straight ahead you will find the Cafeteria, Gym, and the Musical Departments. To the left you will find the English and History classes. To the right you will find the Science and Mathematics classes. And behind us are the main offices." Gale explained, then asked, " Did you get all of that?" Peeta looked up into Gale's beautiful pale eyes and said, "Y-Yes, I think I do." Gale breaking the eye contact. Good God he has the most beautiful ocean blue eyes. Gale thought then noticing that he was staring, then asked, "Can I see your schedule?" "Sure." Peeta replied while trying to find it in his Calvin Klein messenger bag. Gale noticed the bag and asked excitedly, " IS THAT A REAL CALVIN KLEIN KARLY MESSENGER BAG?" Peeta looked up shocked said, " Wow! Almost no one notices that it is even a Calvin Klein. Let alone a Karly." Peeta then asked, " How could you tell?" Gale replied nervously not expecting to sound so excited about it, "Ummmm, I-I just noticed the CK on the interior when you flipped it open hehe." And nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

When Peeta finally found his schedule. He handed it to Gale who looked surprised and said, "We have all the same classes except I am not in choir. But I know someone who is in this class with you." Peeta asked, "Who? What's his name?" "Her," Gale corrected, "Her name is Katniss Everdeen."

Peeta's face instantly dropped in assuming that Katniss was Gale's Girlfriend. Gale noticed and asked, "What's wrong?" Peeta said, "Huh? OH! Nothing I was just hoping that you and I would have all the same classes you seem really nice compared to a lot of people at my old school. That's all." Gale knew he was hiding something but left it at that.

"Well, I guess we should be getting to class huh?" Gale said noticing that the bell for first period was about to ring. "Yeah I guess I will see you in second period Math then." "Yeah I guess. See you later Peeta." Gale replied while walking away. "See you later." Peeta shouted to Gale. Then started walking to Choir. Peeta was about to walk through the door when a girl with brown hair in a braid threw a music stand at a muscular blonde guy. Blondie ducked and the stand flew past him and smacked Peeta in the head. Then everything went black.
