CHAPTER TWO.

It's quite warm here in District 4, and I love it. You can smell the ocean from my dorm. My dorm is quite big. There are two beds placed parallel to each other with their headboards placed on each side of a giant window. There are also, bedside tables, a little cushiony couch, a walk in closet, and two desks. I open the window to let the sea breeze in, and I start unpacking. I picked the bed near the right, and I put a picture of father, mother and Prim on my bedside table. I sit a speaker with my music player plugged in on my desk. I start to make my bed, when I hear a knock on the door. Must be my roommate? I see Madge standing at the door.

"Oh, hey Madge." I greet her. She holds up a pair of keys, and smiles. "Roommate?" I question. She nods. "Great! I'm still unpacking myself." She smiles wheeling in her suitcase, and I see a delivery man come in after her. He's brought several beanbags, a mini-frige, a bookshelf, a little television, and several other things that will help decorate our dorm. "Wow, Madge.." I laugh. "Perks of being the mayor's daughter, I suppose." We laugh together. This year will be a good year.

We spend the next few moments putting everything in the right places. I offered to help; we might as well become good friends if we're going to live with each other for the next few months. Unlike last year I think I actually like Madge. Delly Cartwright, the girl I roomed with last year. She was always so talkative and gossipy, though she was a nice girl but definitely not my type of friend. After getting most of the things settled I tell Madge that I'm going to walk to our Smoothie Shop in the Commons. While walking through campus I see lots of familiar faces, and lots of unfamiliar. More boys than I expected, many of them already trying to flirt with the other girls. I roll my eyes and enter the smoothie shop. It's pretty quiet since it's the first day back, there's soft jazz music playing and only a few students sitting in their own space.

I order my usual tropical smoothie, and I go to sit down in a corner with a book Madge lend me called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I soon get lost into the book. I soon hear someone familiar. "Can I sit here?" "Oh, yes. Sure." I say so caught up into my book I don't look up to see who it is. "Harry Potter, huh?" He chuckles. I finally look up to see who it is, and I see its Peeta. Peeta Mellark. "Oh, Peeta! Sorry." He chuckles again. "How's your head?" I continue. "It's better. Even better now, actually." He says with a wink... wait.. with a wink? I blush a little bit. "Well, that's good to hear." I very very terrible at small talk, which is why Madge and I have gotten along so far. I look down, feeling awkward and let a few strands of hair cover my face. I feel his hand brush my cheek and put the hair behind my ear and he lifts up my chin. "Don't do that, I wont be able to see your eyes. " He smiles and strokes my cheeks for a second., I blush even red-er. Curse my awkward-ness.. "Can I get you another drink?" He gestures at my empty cup. I didn't know I've finished it already. "Um, no thanks. I should probably head back to my dorm anyway, help Madge move furniture." His smile flattens, and thinks for a second. "Would you like some help?" He asks. I raise an eyebrow at him. He chuckles to himself. "I suppose."

On our way back to my dorm, I see the sun setting giving off a deep, brilliant shade of orange. I can see Peeta looking at and then smiles when he sees me staring at him. "That's my favorite color, you know. It just never fails to amaze me to see how nature can be beautiful on a day to day basis." He murmurs, and blushes for a moment. "That's beautiful Peeta. Mine is Forest Green. Its just something about it that seems comforting to me." I sigh. "You've always seemed like a Forest Green, type of girl." He smiles. We walk in somewhat of a silence, mostly just the sound of our shoes hitting the pavement, and quick glances at eachother.

Once we reach my room, I see Madge is sprawled out on top of her bed reading her book again. *knock knock* she looks up, her eyes widen a little bit when she sees Peeta. "Hey, Kat." "Hey, Madge. This is Peeta Mellark." I gesture to Peeta. "We know eachother, his dad gives me free Muffins every first of the month." She smiles. "So, is he the boy that ran into you on the train?" She laughs. Peeta blushes fiercely. "Only kidding, Peeta. Anyway, I'm going to freshen up a bit, and leave you two alone. Remember, no boys after 8:30." She winks, and Madge left bringing a towel and toiletries bag with her. We both blush slightly. "Pretty nice dorm you've guys got." Peeta says. "Yes, I suppose." He starts walking to my bed and picks up the picture of my family. "This looks ages ago. Look how little prim looks." He chuckles. "Yes, it was taken a few months before my dad died." I sigh, sounding a little shaken. I don't talk to anyone about it. Though, everyone in town knows about it, and what happened, I just haven't had a friend to talk to about it. "I apologize, miss. I didn't mean to upset you." "Its alright, just a sensitive subject." I say while I look down. I haven't even had a whole conversation with Peeta until today, and he opened his arms out to me. I look at him for a moment, contemplating whether I should lean into his offer. Before I could answer his arms are already around me. "I'm fine. Really, Peeta." I choke. He lets go of me and looks at me dead in the eye... I didn't realize his eyes are were mind boggling, blue that I catch my breath slightly. I'm definitely having a teen girl moment right now. He flashes me a small smile, I blush and stare at me feet again. "So, Katniss. I think I'd better be going soon." He says. I look up and realize his face is just inches away from mine. "Oh, right." I say backing up a bit. We walk towards the door. He turns towards me and leans on the door frame. "Do you think you'd like to have lunch with me sometime?" He says with a faint blush on his cheeks. Should I? I just met this boy.. He seems so genuine, plus he's definitely handsome. "Alright, Peeta." I say smiling. His eye seem to light up just a bit. "So, noon. I'll stop by, and we'll go." I smile and nod to him. "Good night, Katniss." He waves, accidentally backing straight into fern of some sort. I giggle. It almost toppled over before he caught it. He looks up and turns a deep shade of red. He waves good night a final time, I wave back and soon he's down the hall.

I can't help but to feel butterflies, I mean sure I've seen him around town. Heck, we've gone to the same school our whole lives. Well, until High School, but we do again. I never really paid him much attention, except for 2nd grade when gave me a special red cupcake with tiny little hearts on it for Valentine's Day. I shared it with Prim since it was so rare for us to get a Cupcake. They're Prim's favorites.

Wait.. Prim! I forgot to check on her. I sit on my bed, whip out my phone, and send her a quick text.

YOU: Hey, Prim. Sorry, I got..caught up in something. Hope you're settled down, let me know if you need me, I'm in Mockingjay Hall, room B14.

A few minutes pass.

PRIM EVERDEEN: Hey, Kat! I'm in Jabberjay Hall, room D21. I have, love my roommate. She's from D11! So, sweet. Anyway, love you. Gonna wash up! TTYL. :*

Feeling suddenly tired, I close my phone and sprawl out on my bed.

So, I decided to add the other chapter I wrote on here to make it longer. :P
