Peeta POV
My first day at my new school was going quite well if I do say so myself. That was until that girl Shimmer or whatever her name was came and interrupted Kat and I. She shoved Katniss aside and makes her way to me. I notice Katniss' face twist in anger. Shimmer puts her hand on my shoulder and I feel my face shift from happiness to torture. Why is this slut touching? I'm at a loss for words when she starts to whisper words what she thinks to be seductive into my ear. "Hey there sexy . I couldn't help but notice you checking me out",she says trailing her dirty little fingers down my chest. "Maybe if you want to come over to my house after school we could get to know each other better?"she purs.
I look at Katniss in desperation. She finally decides to step in .She clears her throat.
"Hey Glitter?"she comes closer to us.
"It's Glimmer and what the hell do you want loser?"She huffs and gives Katniss an icy cold glare.
"Hello bitch! I wasn't done talking to you! If you don't mind,we need to get to class. Go find something else to seduce."Damn Kitty's do get feisty when there angry. I can't help but notice the crowd surrounding us. Glimmer takes her paws off of me and points them in Katniss' face.
""You'll regret this Everdeen."She threatens."I'll be back!"I swear to God if she touches Katniss she wouldn't recognize that pretty little face in the mirror. I'm sure Katniss would love to do that.
"If I had my bow and arrows,You'd be on the floor right now",kat says in a very sweet voice. Glimmer gives us one last scowl and walks away.
"You can all stop gawking now!"Kat screams at the crowd. Something about her fire and her attitude seems familiar, but I can't quite place it at the moment. We look at each other then start giggling. For now everything's fine. I just hope that Glimmer dosen't make a reappearance.
KatnissPOV
I just giggled. Katniss Everdeen just giggled. I'm surprised because usually only Prim, my little sister or her best friend Rue, can draw a giggle out of me. Everything with Peeta is just effortless. We walk into music class and take seats beside each other. We make idle chit chat until Cinna walks into the room. Cinna Moohre was without a doubt my favorite teacher. He became like a father figure to me after my own died. He gives me a warm smile which I effortlessly return. He looks at Peeta who's staring at raises his eyebrows as if to ask, are you two together?
I shake my head as a blush creeps up on my cheeks. Cinna looks at me and laughs,then addresses the class."Okay kids, good morning. For those of you who don't know, my name is Cinna can call me Cinna."This is why he's my favorite. He's nice, inviting and just easy to talk to. Like Peeta. Cinna continues on."As many of you who had me as a teacher before know,I like to start off class with a song. Any volunteers?"
He gives me a pointed look when no one raises their hand."Okay as always I see you're going to make this difficult. Katniss why don't you sing us a song dear? "I don't like attention but Cinna knows that I can never deny him a chance to hear me sing.I walk up to the stage in the middle of the room.I clear my throat and tell Cinna the song I'm singing.
Little boy, six years old
A little too used to being alone
Another new mom and dad
Another school, another house that will never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face
I see tears start to form in Peeta's eyes.I can't sound that bad can I?
This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This is just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know
This is my temporary home
Young mom, on her own
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go
She's looking for a job, looking for a way out
'Cause a halfway house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
"Someday we'll find our place here in this world"
This is our temporary home, it's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passing through
This is just a stop on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know
This is our temporary home
Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers
"Don't cry for me, I'll see you all someday"
He looks up and says
"I can see God's face"
This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This was just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know
This was my temporary home
This is our temporary home
This song is the story of my life. It's sad but still holds even a sliver of hope that one day things will be better for my family and I.I know it. Hope is the only thing stronger than fear. I have to keep up hope, for Prim. For me.
