: Thank you. Peeta's POV will be in here. I'll try to make it often.

Okay this chapter is kind of boring, I think. Since I mentioned Delly moving in with Peeta freshman year in The New Girl's Fire I felt I had to make a POV for her. I wrote this chapter twice so just think the first draft was worst xD


Chapter 2 "First day"

Delly's POV

It's my first day of school here in merchant town. My parents sent me to live with my aunt and uncle because well, I asked them too. Sounds crazy, I know. I love my parents and siblings with all my heart, but lately I've been feeling overwhelmed with everything. Coming to a new town to start fresh was a great idea for me. Plus my cousin's parents needed someone else to help around the bakery since his brothers moved out already. I haven't seen my cousin Peeta since we were just toddlers. We used to be the best of friends, but of course things have changed. I got here last night and Peeta was as friendly as I remembered him to be. He told me he didn't know much about Panem High School but we'd have fun. I hope he's right.

I met Peeta's friends in homeroom. The red head girl Annie is really sweet and nice. Finnick is really good looking. I was too nervous to talk to him but he seemed friendly. Gale seems okay, I don't know. I think there's something going on between him and Johanna. They way he looks at her…now that I think about it it's how Finnick looked at Annie. Johanna at first I thought was Peeta's girlfriend. After I said it out loud they both got red as Annie and Finnick laughed. Gale looked very jealous but no else noticed. After homeroom I have my first class with Finnick.

We walk in late together and I hear some girls whispering about how hot Finnick is. Our teacher has me sit next to a blonde girl wearing a white dress with Finnick in front of me, next to a girl with dark hair.

"Hi." The blonde girl smiles ever so cheerfully at me. "I'm Madge Undersee."

I nod my head lamely. "Delly Cartwright."

"Did you just move here?"

"Yes. How'd you know that?"

"You didn't know who I was." It doesn't sound as snobby as you'd think.

"So?" I shrug my shoulder.

"I'm the Mayor's daughter. Everyone knows me."

"So who are you? Little Miss Popular?" I ask teasingly.

"No, far from it. Cashmere is."

"Who?"

Before she can answer my question the teacher starts a video we're supposed to watch quietly. It has something to do with how this town and the Capitol came about; a war or something. Madge and I didn't continue to talk, which was good…because I could hear Finnick talking to that dark haired girl.

"It's Clove not Clover," she whispers to him.

"My bad. I'm Finnick."

"What's your schedule look like, Finnick?"

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a sheet of paper, handing it to her. Her smiles fades after reading it.

"No other classes together. What a shame."

"I guess we'll just have to spend as much time as we can together in this class." Finnick winks at her.

She smirks. "Guess so, Finnick."

My next class is health. When I got there the teacher said he didn't care what we did as long as we don't bother him. How charming. Madge saw me and gestured to me to come sit with her.

"Any chance we have any other classes together?" Madge hands me her schedule.

I sit and take a look at it. "Lunch and the two classes after that."

"Promise to sit with me at lunch?"

"Promise." I squeak out. "Who's Cashmere?"

"Oh yeah. I was talking about her. She's a sophomore, already the main Career along with her brother, Gloss. They got in freshman year and the other Careers graduated last year."

"Careers?"

"Popular kids. They're bitches. Everyone fears them, but yet admires them. Anyways, since all of them left last year and the only two here are sophomores they'll be looking for some freshman."

"You want to be a Career?"

She laughs. "A District Twelve girl like me? No way! Only One's, Two's, and Four's can be Careers. Everyone knows that."

"How do you know your district?"

"That's hard to explain. It's just basically who you are."

"The Mayor's daughter at the bottom of the food chain?" I ask in disbelief.

"What can I say? I'm shy, quite, boring—"

"You're not."

She smiles at my words.

Turns out I was right about something going on with Johanna and Gale. Right before 4th period at my locker she was there with Annie. I didn't get to hear much of their conversation but I heard something about Gale kissing Johanna. Apparently she does like him but doesn't want a relationship with him. This is no concern of mine but I think she should give him a chance. If she likes him why not?

Annie's POV

"Give. Him. A. Chance."

"Not. Gonna. Happen." Jo slams her locker.

"This is stupid! You like him? Be with him," I tell her losing my patience.

Johanna can be so stubborn. All day all I've heard from her was Gale this and Gale that. Don't get me wrong, I was all ears in the beginning, but now I'm getting tired of this. She's being so difficult. I thought talking to Gale would help but no. He is just as difficult as her, no, he is worse. Gale wants her to ask him but obviously that's not going to happen.

"You're right. I'll give him a chance."

Wow, bipolar much?

"Good." I smile.

"If you ask out Finnick."

My smile fades. "Umm, no."

"Annie! Come on, I know you like him."

"No. I don't. No." I turn my back to her like a child.

"Don't be so—"

I hear books crashing, feet slipping, and someone laughing. When I turn to look I find Johanna on the floor holding the back of her head in pain and the back of a blonde boy laughing and holding his hand out to Johanna. She looks up at him and her eyes widen. He must be good looking. Since Johanna doesn't make any attempt to reach for his hand the blonde boy grabs hers and pulls her up.

"Sorry," says the blonde boy. "I wasn't looking where I was going. You okay?"

"I'm fine." Johanna's face turns cold. "Not that you even care. I mean you were laughing." She pushes past him and is now at my side.

The boy turns to us and smirks. I was right, he is hot. Why was Johanna being so rude to him?

"I'm Cato." He stares at Johanna.

"Johanna." She stares back almost dazzled.

"And I'm Annie." I say trying to end the moment. They continue to stare at each other as if I'm not even here. "And no one cares." I mumble to myself.

The late bells rings and Cato turns away.

"I'm going to be late. Nice meeting you Johanna and…" He looks at me his mouth open about to say something.

"Annie!" I snap, annoyed.

"Annie, right. See ya." He walks away.

"What a jerk!" I shout as soon as he's too far to hear me.

"He's cute." Johanna smiles. "I wouldn't mind getting to know him better."

Huh?

"What about Gale?"

"What about him?" She questions.

"Don't you like him?"

"Annie, sweetie. Would it hurt me to explore my options?"

"But you just said—"

"Come on lets go to lunch. I'm starving!"

I groan, annoyed. I love Johanna but how does Peeta handle this girl? Guess I'll ask him at lunch.


Told you it was boring! Expect to meet Glimmer soon.

Anyways please Review! Anything is welcomed, even a smile smiley face :D
