Peeta's POV

"Well, then Katniss, let's get you to class.

I made my way through these hallways with ease. Being popular was something of a curse; I mean yeah all the girls want to go out with you, but there's something of an emptiness to my life. I didn't like being on the football team, honestly I wanted to be in art club instead, but I knew that if Cato, found out I would have no life to reflect on. I found Cato and Glimmer in the hallway, hand in hand as usual. But suddenly I was surprised they weren't already making out. Maybe I was late. I laughed to myself under my breath as I joined the group of football players, and I went up to Marvel.

"Hey man." I said as I followed behind Cato.

"Dude, you missed it there's a new girl and you can totally tell Glimmer sees her as a threat. It was the funniest thing." His voice echoed just loud enough so only I could hear.

"You know that's a bad thing."

"Whatever, dude you just got to help me with something."

"What the hell is it this time?" I knew what it was but I was sick of it.

"It's Clove. I want to ask her to come to Glimmer's party with me tonight but I don't know," Marvel continued talking but for a brief second my heart stopped. I zoned out his words and suddenly I felt myself holding onto air. She was standing there, beautiful brown hair, silky gray eyes and the most wonderful shade of skin I had ever seen. For a second it was as though she was holding me to the ground, not gravity and I knew instantly everything I ever loved disappeared. I needed to know her, I knew exactly who she was, she was my other half, the one I needed I would do anything for her and love her no matter what. I felt myself grow cold then I remember Marvel grabbing my hand then I couldn't take it, I just sat on the ground my head overwhelmed with her.

"Dude, are you okay?" Marvel turned and I realized Cato and the others were surrounding me.

"Peeta?" Cato's voice grew from loud and commanding to calm and caring.

"Is everything alright?" I turned to hear her voice, the one voice as she walked out from the class room over to my side.

"Yeah," I stumbled, "headache." But I knew it was much more than that.
