Ch.2 (Peeta's pov)
I wake up to the same thing that has been going on at home. My parents are yelling at each other again. Well might as well get ready for school even though I don't want to go but I can't miss another day. If I miss another day I'll get kicked off the football team and I'll get suspended for sure. Ever since 2 years ago my parents have been fighting none stop and from there I couldn't stand it anymore and I've made some bad choices.
I'm Peeta Mellark and I don't give a fuck about anything. I'm 16 years old but I'll be 17 soon. I'm on the football and wrestling team at school. My dad owns a bakery so I help him out there a lot. I got into drugs and I party mostly every weekend now. I skip school to either hook up with some girl or to get high ass fuck. But I do keep my grades up. I was never like this until my parents started to fight. I've tried to stop this but I just can't. My parents don't pay attention to me and my brothers didn't want anything to do with my parents anymore so the moved out. I wish my parents would just stop.
I decide to get out of my bed and get dressed for school. I get out one of my black t-shirts and a pair of dark blue demin pants. But to top it all of I get my black leather combat boots and my black beanie. Hopefully today doesn't suck.
After I get dressed I put on some cologne and get my phone and backpack. I walk downstairs afterwards and go straight to the kitchen. I decide to get an apple for breakfast. Then I grab my car keys and go to the garage. I get in my old mustang that my dad gave to me for my birthday last year.
I drive to school with my Three Days Grace cd playing full blast. Once I get to school I head right to my best friend's car.
"Yo, Finnick. Do we have football practice today," I ask Finnick. "We don't man but we do have a short meeting. So I suggest that you come before you get kicked off the team," he replies. "Alright, alright I'll be there. Don't worry about it I'm one of the best players. They wouldn't dare kick me off," I reply cockily. "Well, I'm going to go fined Gale and give him the money I owe him. See you later Peeta," Finnick says while walking away from me. So much for have a good morning and getting to hang out with him before school starts.
I walk inside the school building and I'm about to get to my locker someone walks right into me. I'm about to tell them to watch where they are walking but stop when I notice it's a girl and she's on the ground. Wow this girl sure is pretty. She's got the greyest eyes I've ever seen and beautiful flowing long hair.
She's staring up at me so I decide to help her up. After I help her up she starts walking away from me so I follow her. "Hey, wait up. Are you new here? I've never seen you around before," I say. Grey eyes turns around and gives me a million dollar smile. "Yes, I am new here. My name is Katniss Everdeen and you are," she asks. "Whoa, whoa Katniss Everdeen as in the famous singer Katniss Everdeen," I ask. "Yep that's me. The famous singer Katniss Everdeen," she says laughing. Wow her laugh is gorgeous. Wait did I just think that. "Well my name is Peeta Mellark but whose complaining," I say.
"Well nice to meet you Peeta but I have to find my locker then look for my classes. By the way nice bread name," She says laughing again. "Maybe, I can help you find your locker and show you where your classes are at," I offer. She nods her head so I take that as a yes. And might I say that tank top is hugging her in all the right curves and it makes her eyes pop. "Let me see your schedule," I say. Katniss hands it over and I see that her locker is right next to mine. "Well your locker is next to mine. So I guess we're locker buddies," I say laughing while leading her down the hall.
When we get to our lockers I open mine up while she gets hers opened. "Let's see, we have first and third and sixth-eighth hour together," I tell her. She smiles that smile again so I smile back at her. But I give her my cocky smile that always melts the ladies.
I show her the way to our first class, which is food science with Mr. Hawthorne, Gale's dad. I walk to my usual seat while Katniss talks to the teacher. After that she comes and sits right next to me, which is Finnick's seat.
"So how is this school? Is it fun or is it really strict," Katniss asks. "Depends on who you are. If you're a jock or a straight a student the teachers are strict with you but they are also fun. And as for most of the others the teachers don't give a fuck what you do unless it affects someone badly," I tell her. I see her nod her head and at the same time Gale, Annie, Gloss, Blight, and Finnick walk in. They all go right to their seats except Finn, who just stands there staring at Katniss. Finally he walks over to us and puts on his cocky smile.
"You're in my seat new girl. So get your pretty little ass out of the chair and find a new seat," he says with confidence while the rest of the group just laughs. Then Katniss looks up and stares him down. "Maybe, if you would have gotten here sooner you would be sitting here but no. besides I don't see your name anywhere, so this isn't your seat or your property," Katniss fires back. Wow this girl sure has got some spunk. The whole class and the teacher are now laughing at what she said. Finnick looks pissed but before he says anything Katniss stands up.
"Talk to me that way again and I swear I'll kick your ass. Besides you don't even know who you're messing with," she tells Finnick while glaring at him. "Why should I know who you are? And princess you don't scare me," he fires back. If only he knew he was talking to the Katniss Everdeen, his idol. "Finnick take one good look at her and tell me if you recognize her," I tell him.
He stares at Katniss while she just gives him a smirk. Everyone is laughing now then some people start to gasp. Annie starts squealing like a little girl that was just given a puppy. Finnick keeps looking at her until he realizes who she is and his eyes widen. He opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out.
"Shit, you're Katniss Everdeen," Finn says panicked.
