Katniss' POV
I smile at everyone, who includes my roommates, a guy with an arm around Annie, Peeta, and a guy who could be my twin. Seriously, brown hair and grey eyes? Yup, twin…
"Hey everyone, this is Katniss Everdeen. She's new. Katniss, this is Johanna, Gale, Finnick, Annie, and Madge," I tell Peeta of me knowing of my roommates, and smile and re-introduce myself to Finnick and Gale.
"Hey, Kitty Kat," Finnick says with a wink. I glare at him, and he grins in return.
"Call me that again, I'll shoot an arrow through your skull." I say, already breaking my promise of "niceness". He chuckles and smirks. I glower in return. A blond, green eyed boy comes up and sits next to Johanna, kissing her cheek. She pushes him away by his chest, but he smiles and wraps his arms around her. She rolls her eyes.
"Katniss, this is Brandon, Johanna's boyfriend." Finnick says, smirking at Johanna. I'm taken aback a bit because Johanna doesn't seem like a love-dovey kind of person. Well, I'm not either, until Mathew came along… I mentally shake myself. Forget him, I say to myself, He isn't worth your time… I smile at Johanna, a bit forced.
Peeta offers me a sandwhich, seeing I only have an apple, but I refuse, and take a bite. A loud squeal echos through the cafeteria, and a blond, skinny, pretty girl skips up. "Hey, Peeta!," Peeta grimaces and turns to the blonde.
"Before you ask, Glimmer, no. And it will never happen." Glimmer rolls her eyes and lays a hand on his shoulder.
"We'll see about that." She says, and with a wink, skips off. Peeta gives me an apoligetic smile.
"She's a bit.. not right in the head…" I laugh.
"I've noticed."

Peeta's POV
Wow… she's so beautiful! It's been a week since we've met, and it's the first day of school. Yay! Not: Sarcasm. I head to the cafeteria, and smile warmly at Katniss, eating only an apple. She smiles warmly at me, accepting the cinnamon roll I offered.
"You gotta stop sneaking me food," She says, but is unconvincing, seeing she's already eaten half. I roll my eyes and smile at her. She scowls in return.
"Stop flirting you guys!" Johanna exclaims, fighting off Brandon, who is trying to kiss her. Their relationship was so weird…
"We're not flirting!" Katniss and I scream in unison. This only causes Johanna, and everyone else for that matter, to smirk and chuckle. Katniss glares at them, while I'm fighting my blush. Katniss glares once more.
"Who has maths with Mrs. Wiress?" Katniss asks. Me, Madge, and Annie raise our hands. Katniss jerks to the doors with her head, and we nod and throw our trash away and grab our books. We head out the door, Madge and Annie besides us, me and Kat joking around. I get caught up in her eyes, I don't notice Annie's gasp for a while, but when it happens I turn to see the careers laughing at Clove spilling her coffee over Annie's pale green dress. I turn angrily to Clove.
"What's your deal?!" She snorts.
"You're lucky I'm not making the An girl buy me a new coffee," She says, throwing her empty cup away, glowering at Annie.
"Don't worry Annie, I use to be bullied, so I have a habit of bringing changes of clothes to school," Madge says, handing Annie a pink-red dress. Annie smiles and slips into the bathroom.
"What's their deal?" Katniss asks.
"Those are the careers, basically us, the victors, enemies." She gives a confused look. "Me, Gale, Finnick, Madge, Johanna, Brandon, and Annie are known as 'The Victors'. You're pretty much one now. She shakes her head violently.
"No, no. I'm not a Victor. I'm just an ordinary new student, who happens to hang out with the most popular people in the school. Doesn't mean I'm one of them." I roll my eyes, and continue walking when Annie leaves.
"Pfffffft. You can't deny who you are Katniss. 'Don't compromise yourself. You're all you have.' Janis Joplin." I say, stating one of my favorite quotes. I plan on going to college for English, since my mum won't let me do art. Ugh.
The last part seems to hit her hard, as she mumbled, "You're right." and she quickly walked to math, leaving me, feeling guilty.
"Don't worry, Peet. Katniss is.. intresting. She's sweet, but protective. She has a bad past, I know. At night, I hear her muttering about 'pain', 'Dad', and a lot of 'Mathew's and 'why's. I knew better than to ask though," I nod. She certainly has had a complicated past…
It was this moment I decided that, no matter what, she'll have a bright future. No matter what...
GASP! Who's Mathew? What did he do? What's her past? Stay tune to find out ;).
