Midnight
It's December 31st, the last day of the year.
Johanna decided to throw one of her classic parties to celebrate. Of course she dragged me along forcing me to wear one of her tight fitting dresses which barely reach my knees.
I stood at the corner of the room normally me and he would be sat here binge watching T.V shows or doing homework. But tonight it's flooded with people some I've never met in my life. They dance on the coffee table their drooping heads hitting the lampshade as they bob along to the songs blasting from the stereo haphazardly propped up on a vase.
11:57 I checked my watch once again for the thousand time tonight waiting for it to strike twelve so that I could finally bail out on this party. Johanna made me swear I was there for the 1st January so that I watch out for in case some creep tried to kiss her. But it seemed useless now as even from where I was standing I could see her snogging Gale, the boy she's been trying to get with for years. He was probably really drunk right now though.
11:58 Two more minutes to the countdown, people were already getting excited as they watched the clock set up in the centre of the room change numbers as the next minute rolled by.
My cup was empty again, it's all I've been doing this evening; drink coke and stuff my mouth with doritos and sweets everyone seemed to have forgotten about. Apparently making out was more essential than eating to everybody except me.
There was someone else at the kitchen counter as well this time and not the couple who were too distracted enough to get a room.
"It seems you've not forgotten about eating either as well." I say as I fill my cup up with more coke.
He looked up, "It's an essential. I only came tonight because I heard there was food." His face was familiar yet I didn't know where I'd seem him before, school?
"Do you go to my school?" I ask, pointing at him with my dorito.
He blinked at me in surprise, did he not recognise me? "Don't you know who I am?" He said in disbelief. I shook my head in response. "I'm Peeta Mellark. We've been go to the same school for years, we're in the same English?" Then it clicked. He sat in front of me in English his blonde head was always blocking my view of the board.
"I know you; your head always blocks the board. You should be more considerate for those smaller than you." 11:59.
He laughed, raking a hand though his blonde, curly hair. "I'm sorry I never knew you should've told me. Hey, should we go I mean it's going to get hectic soon. They'll probably realise soon that there is food."
I grabbed my bowl of haribos, "Why not?" Following him through I am kind of happy that I left to go get food, not that I'm not always happy when I go get food.
The screams and cheers were getting louder as time passed. We were outside in the cold air, sat at the end of Johanna's garden.
"So…"
"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2!"
"Happy-"
My form of rejoice for the New Year was stopped my Peeta who leaned forward at that moment. His blue eyes were so captivating at that moment it was like it was just me and him.
"Happy New Year." He whispered and leaned in to kiss me. It was also quite fitting that fireworks were set of everywhere like a physical representation of how I felt at that moment when Peeta was kissing me.
