Ps I do not own anything
I scowled as I turned back to face Annie. Of course "Peety Baby" would be a Career. Annie must have noticed this and turned to the direction I was facing to see what I was annoyed about. "Oh the Careers, I guess this would be a good time to introduce the rest of them to you" she paused biting into her sandwich and swallowing it.
"Okay so you have met Cato, Clove, Marvel and Johanna. Enobaria is the girl with beach blonde hair and a skimpy pink top and is currently sucking face with Brutus her boyfriend, he is the soccer team captain. Next are twins Gloss and Cashmere who are sat next to them, Gloss is the schools boys athletics captain and Cashmere is the volleyball teams captain. Then opposite them you have the slut we call...""Glimmer" I interrupt recognising the desperate girl from history. " Yeah, how do you know?" Annie whispered inquisitively. "She's in my history" I reply nonchalantly clearly not wanting to go on. Annie like the great friend she is carries on introducing Bread boy or as he is actually called Peeta ( who is the captain of the wrestling team, why does my heart beat faster thinking about that?!) and then Finnick, a handsome boy with bronze hair and bright green eyes. " He's the most wanted by the girls in the school and is swim captain with me" she says dreamily. Wait! "I didn't know you are swim captain Annie" I tell her. " Oh did I not tell you, I must have slipped my mind while we were laughing" she says back laughing quietly at the memory. " So how come you aren't a Career Annie" I blurt out without thinking.
Annie takes a deep breath and sighs, I am about to tell her she doesn't have to say anything when she starts speaking. "Cause you're really the first friend I have had in a long time other than Finnick I guess a should tell you, you see the reason I don't have any friends is because I am bi-polar. I was in the Careers and Glimmer and I were best friends" I pull a face and she laughs" yeah I know even I find that hard to believe, anyway I was having loads of mood swings so my mum took me to the doctor and they said I was bi-polar. I was devastated and thinking Glimmer was my true friend, I told her and long story short they kicked me out and spread it around the whole school so everybody thinks I am a freak" she ends and looks like she is about to cry.
I get out of my seat and surprising both her and myself I hug her and she calms down. " Those bastards how can they do that to you," I exclaim angrily. "They are not all bad, Peeta and Finnick still hang out with me sometimes and got into a fight with the rest of them when the kicked me out and started to spread rumours" she reassured me. I nod showing I understand and suddenly find myself liking Bread Boy even more. WHAT! Katniss what the FUDGE is wrong with you?! I metally slap myself.
Shaking my head we carry on an easy conversation and eat lunch but I couldn't help but feel eyes on me. "Do you feel like someone is watching us?" I ask her. Looking around she smiles waves at whoever it is and talks " It's just Finnick, cause not a lot of people talk to me he's curious". "Oh" I say back then I notice Annie's expression. " Annie what's going on with Finnick and you?" I ask with a smirk on my face.
She flushes bright red then sighs. " Nothing" she goes on to tell me that they were childhood friends and really close how ever he would never see her like that. " Don't be daft" I wave her off, "any guy would be lucky to have you and is a turd if he doesn't realise it". She smiles appreciatively and we go back to eating.
At the end of Lunch we exchange numbers and I head off to afternoon classes. Nothing exciting happens except I meet this quirky couple in Maths who are called Wiress and Beetee and invite them to eat lunch with us. They gladly accept and the final bell rings.
Quickly I rush to my locker and get everything I need to take home. After double checking I turn around and crash into something hard but softer than a wall ie a defined chest. However it isn't just anyones its Peeta's. "Well hello there where's the fire Mockingjay" he says grinning. "Very funny bread boy but there's this thing called home where you can laze about all day and eat what you want and when without anyone giving a shit. I'm sure you're small mind can't comprehend such a thing" I say with a smirk. He chuckles and I suddenly notice how close we are, he must to cause he takes a step back. "Sorry" he mutters, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. Must be a nervous habit but what's he nervous about? " It's alright, I'll see you around" I answer and step around him closing my locker door in the process. " See ya" he replies and with that, I power walk out and head towards my mini. All the events of today swirling in my mind.
I get home to an empty house and dump my stuff by the door and look at my phone.

Prim- Hi Katniss, I made a new friend today called Rue who says hi and m goin 2 her house 4 a sleepover mum said it was ok
I smile, Prim is always the social butterfly and makes friends quick. I text her telling her to have fun. The last ones from my mum sayings she's working late, again. Sighing I make a cheese toast and eat quickly. Todays been one heck of a day and my fingers are yearning for my guitar. Taking the steps two by two I leap into my room and take the guitar from the corner and sit down on my bed. Even though it reminds of my dad and my heart pangs with sadness, I promised him I would do what I loved what he and I loved. Clearing my throat I start to sing an old lullaby:
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
I stop when I hear clapping and turn to see a boy with the brightest blue eyes have ever seen leaning out the window of the house opposite. " You have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. I swear every bird outside fell silent to listen to you. " He said sounding genuine. " But seriously we must stop meeting like this or are you really stalking me?" he adds jokingly, grinning his trademark 1000 Watt smile.
