(Katniss' POV)

"Come on Katniss get up, your gonna be late for your first day" my mom shouted up the stairs" I groaned in reply

"Why do you think i'm sleeping in?" I mumble under my breath. We had just moved to California from Columbus in Ohio at the end of the summer. I didn't want to move my best friend, Gale, was in Columbus and i wasn't good at making friends.

It was our first day at the new school prim was in middle school and i was going to high to the high school.

Despite my mind not wanting to, I get up and get in the shower.

When i get out i wrap a towel around my body and rummage through my drawers. I get out my bra and underwear, light blue skinny jeans, and my pale pink, low shoulder jumper. I get dressed grab my backpack, phone a purse and head down stairs. I make a piece of toast and check the time. Shit i'm running late. "i'm off" I say as I finish my toast and grab my house key and run out the door. I walk all the way to school and get in to the school building just as the bell rings. I head towards the school office. "hello, how can i help you?" the old woman at the desk says. "erm hi i'm new here this is my first day" i stutter unsure of what to say "oh yes, Katniss Everdeen, is it?" "yes" " okay so you're locker number is 330 it should be near the canteen. Your homeroom is the art room with Portia "she hands me three slips of paper- two white, one cream. "the first white one is your locker combination, the other white one is your timetable and if you hand the beige one to your homeroom teacher it will explain why your late. Hope you have a nice day" "you too" and with that i walk off in search of my locker. I find it a put my combination in. It gets stuck and won't open. Suddenly a large fist hits my locker just above the lock and it opens. I turn to see a boy with blonde hair and mesmerizing blue eye. He smiles at me "thanks" i say "its fin, most lockers in this place get stuck hitting it usually does the trick. I haven't seen you around here before, are you new?" "yeah I just moved here from Columbus in Ohio" I silently scold myself- what are you doing Katniss? He's a complete stranger and you know you can't trust guys after what Cato did to you. "cool! I'm Peeta, Peeta Mellark"

"nice to meet you im Katniss, Katniss Everdeen"

"that's a pretty name. We should probably get to homeroom now who are you in homeroom with"

I blush under his compliment and say "im in the art room with Portia"

"thats awesome! Me too, i'll walk with you. can i see your timetable" he asks eyeing the white slip of paper in my hand. I hand it to him and he looks at it. His eyebrows scrunch up together in the most adorable way. Adorable seriously Katniss stop it he's a guy and guys are jerks, and anyway he's probably not single he's too attractive. "We have every lesson together, I'll show you around if you want". I smile "yeah I'd like that thanks" "no problem it will be my pleasure." I blush again and he just laughs. I give a small smile and he hands me my time table back and just for a brief second our fingertips touch and sends sparks through my body. And we walk off to class and all i can think about is if he felt it to.
