A/N:
Hey Guys! I've decided to write a multi-chapter fic! *waits for applause* But, i've been having medical issues that cause me to be at home in bed all day doing nothing so I figured, "Why not write a fanfiction" and thus this was born! I hope y'all enjoy this!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES! (though i wish i did…..)
Peeta Mellark was the prime example of the boys your parents warned you about. You know, the "I'm too cool for school", "I don't want commitment, just sex" kind of guys. He was Panem High royalty. Everyone wanted to be friends with him. Don't get me started on his posy of dimwitted blondes that had the IQ of a squirrel. Everything about Peeta Mellark screamed trouble, but he was my best friend.
Me and Peeta could not be more different. I was the kind of girl your parents wanted you to be friends with. You know, the "I get all A's", "I'm too shy around others" type of girl. I was Panem High trash (as nicely as one could phrase it). Everything about me screamed innocence, but I was his best friend.
We've known eachother since the womb. Our mothers were inseparable, which meant me and Peeta did everything together. We used to play together, eat together, we even had our first kindergarten class together. We shared everything with each other, sometimes too much on Peeta's end. We talked about relationships, parents, love, and just about anything a teenager would want to talk about. We were an odd friendship, but it was the best. Except for the fact that I might be in love with said Playboy.
It was the first day of our senior year at Panem high and it was the year that I was finally getting out of this hell hole. I walked with Peeta to school every day and this was no exception.
"Hey Peeta", I smirked, "There's Delly! Why don't we call her over?" As I started to call her over Peeta but his hand over my mouth
"Watch it Everdeen. Please don't get her attention, i can barely get her to leave me alone over the summer", Peeta laughed, "Besides, can just go to Cato and let him in on your secret "crush" on him." I glared at him.
"Yeah, if by "crush" you mean hatred", I sneered, pushing him out of my way. He just laughed and hugged me from behind.
"I'm just messing with you Katniss, lighten up", he whispered in my ear. And there it goes again, the butterflies. I swallow them down and smile at him.
We kept walking at a normal pace until we finally reached the front of the school. There was this pathetic excuse for a banner hanging at the top of the school reading, "Welcome to Panem High School!" It should really read, "Welcome to Panem High School, where your wishes and dreams get crushed!"
"Ready?", Peeta whispered as he grabbed my hand. "As ready as I'll ever be." And thus began the year that changed my life.
A/N: I know the chapter was kind of short, but i promise this will be fun! Please review! Love yall!
