Burrying the Past

Chapter 2

AN.Warning- the end of this chapter contains some innapropriate language. It's nothing to bad, just thought I'd let you guys know.

Katniss's POV.
"Cool! We have every classes together!" Katniss says excitedly comparing our schedules.
"Yeah, That's cool." I say. I'm trying to sound excited, but obviously didn't succed. Katniss chuckles at my lack of energy.
"I can't wait to introduce you to my friends!" She says, smiling.
I nod, staring at my feet. Lately it has became an habbit. I have to admit I'm not too excited to meet new people. It's been like that lately. I'm not shure why, though.
"Come on, you'll see you like them."she says grabbing my arm pulling me with her.
She leads me to the cafeteria. When we come in she scannes the place searching for her friends when a bronze haired muscular boy starts points at us and screams "Kitty's here!!! And she brought a dude!!"
Katniss's expression immediatly lights up as she walks over to the table the boy is sitted with another group of people, dragging me along.
"Hi guys!" She says.
"Hey!" They all say in unison. That's weird.
Then they all start making Katniss questions, all at the same time. I can't even understand what They're saying. There's so much noise that I can already feel a throbbing pain appearing in the back of my head. I instinctevily bring my hand to my temple. This concussion is driving me nutts. I huff.
"Guys, shush! You're being so loud!" Katniss says, probably noticed my discomfort. She rests her hand in my shoulder "This is Peeta. He's my new neighbour and I said I'd show him around school." Then she introduces me to the people. "This is Annie." she points to a red haired girl with sea green eyes. "Finnick." the tall boy that greeted her earlier nods and salutes me, smirking. "This is Johanna."
"Hey, scar face." a dark haired tall girl says, jokingly, probably referring to the huge scar I have in my forehead, which starts above my eyebrow. I can't tell if she is just joking or if she is actually being mean. I study her expression for a few moments but I have no conclusion. Luckily Katniss starts talking again, saving me from any sort of awkward situation.
"And this is Madge." A beautiful girl with blue eyes and blonde hair takes her eyes off the book she carelessly reading and smiles at me.
"Where's Gale, do you guys know?" Katniss suddenly asks.
"No idea, knowing him, probably still sleeping." Madge says sheepishly.
"Or putting a fight with Cato." Finnick adds.
Katniss rolls her eyes "Hope not. I certainly wouldn't want to loose seeing Cato getting his ass weaped".
After that the bell rings and me, Katniss and Madge walk together to class since we three have history together.
"So, Peeta, why are you just starting in the middle of the semester?" Madge asks.
"I just moved here. Some stuff happened so now I'm living with a foster family." I say, trying to sound neutral and avoiding talking much about the subject. Just thinking about it makes me almost have a panick attack or breakdown crying. Both things I'm trying to avoid.
"Oh." That's the answer I get from Madge. I give her a brief smile before turning my face to the ground.
We enter the classroom. I'n about to go sit in the back of the class or something when Katniss grabbs my hand.
"You can sit beside me." she says.
"Okay."
We take a sit in the middle of the class, with Madge behind.
More students come in, whom I really don't care about.
After a while the teacher arrives. He looks like a typical history teacher, a bold middle-aged man, wearing thick glasses.
"Good morning, class." he says, scanning the class. His gaze lands on me "and you are?" He asks.
"Peeta Mellark, I'm new." I say as confidently as I can, which isn't much, but it's better then nothing.
"Oh, right." he mumbles looking through a stack of papers he has on his desk. "Well, class, let's begin."
After that he starts talking about things I'm not really paying attention to.
After 20 minutes he is interrupted by someone knocking. A tall guy with dark hair and grey eyes, very similiar to Katniss, comes in the room.
"Hawthorne, you're late again." He hisses.
"I kinda already know." the guy answers, rolling his eyes.
"This is the fourth time you're late this week."
"Yeah, I apologize about that, I promise it won't happen again."
"You said that the last time!"
"Yeah, but last time, I didn't really mean it." he says as a matter of fact.
"Just sit down."
The guy smirks and comes sit beside Madge.
"Still arguing with Mr. Hartman, Gale?" Katniss asks, smirking, turning towards who I assume to be the Gale they were talking about earlier.
"The old man is a complete pain in the ass."He snorts. "who's this one, Catnip?" He asks, pointing towards me.
"This is Peeta, he's my new neighbour." Katniss says.
"attention class!" Mr. Hartman snaps at us.
Katniss huffs and turns towards the teacher.
As I have all my classes with Katniss, we stay together the whole morning. At lunch we go to the canteen to have lunch with the group.
"No, skittles are better than M&M's! How many times do I have to tell you this, Gale!" Katniss snaps.
Gale and Katniss have been having this argument since we arrived the cafeteria. The rest of the people is minding their own business. Except me. I'm just playing with the peas I have in my plate.
"What do you think, Peeta? "Katniss asks me.
I look up from my plate.
"Of course he prefers M&M's, Catnip. Skittles are for loosers!" Gale pips up.
"No, They're not! All the awsome people I know eat skittles!" Katniss says.
"And who would those be?" Gale fights back.
"Me, for example." Katniss answers as a matter of fact.
"Guys, get over it! Cheez, your worst than my grandparents." Finnick says, obviously over listening to their silly fight. "And TicTac's are better, just saying."
Both Katniss and Gale roll They're eyes.
"Whatever." Katniss mumbles.
Just now I realizes Katniss and Gale look a lot alike. They could be brothers.
The same eyes, olive skin, and dark hair.
"What you thinking about, Peet?" Katniss asks.
"Nothing, it's just that you and Gale look very similiar." I say.
"Hope we do. We are cousins." Gale says smirking, putting his arm around Katniss shoulder.
Katniss scoffs and roll her eyes. "I still don't know how this shithead shares the same blood I do."
I chuckle.
"So Scar-face, tells us about yourself." says Johanna says, changing the subject. I roll my eyes at my nickname. Okay, I have a scar in my forehead. We get it. It's kind of annoying
"Not much to say. I'm from the Capitol, I'm living with a new foster family. I guess you could call it that."
"He's living with Haymitch." Katniss adds.
"Really? That idiot?" Gale interrupts.
"Gale!" Katniss slapps Gale's arm.
"What? It's true."
I chuckle "He's not all that bad. I have to admit that douchebag is actually a good guy and I kinda care about him." I say.
"Oh, you're so sentimental, what a lovely boy!." Johanna teases. I snort. Unless she stopped with the scarface thing.
"Oh joy, the 'Carreers' arrived." Gale says, rolling his eyes.
I look at the entrance, a group of people arrive, making lots of noise. The girls are laughing hysterically as the guys are just acting vile. They don't seem very friendly. I frown. They mus be the 'popular group' in here.
"The Carreers?" I ask.
"That's how they call themselves. Just a group of douchebags." Finnick says.
"Basically everyone in this table hates their guts." Katniss adds.
I examine the people. There's a short dark haired girl, that wears an evil smirk, she looks kind of deadly. There is also a blonde haired girl, She's really hot, but I can't stop noticing that She's dressed a little too much provocative, with a dark haired boy with his arm around her waist. A buff blonde haired boy is in the front of the group, with icy blue eyes.
"The short girl is Clove, she's the school's queen bee, a.k.a school's bitch, the blond haired girl is Glimmer, and She's a complete slut." Johanna says.
"Hate that hoe." Annie mutters. I think this is the first time I heard her voice, She's always so quite, in her corner.
I give her a questioning look.
"She keeps mocking Annie because She's dislexic." Katniss whisper me.
We are rudely interrupted by the buff guy that approaches our table.
"If it isn't my favorite group of loosers!" He basically shouts Everyone in the table rolls their eyes.
"What, Cato?" Katniss snaps at him. Cato lifts his hands defensivily "Easy, girl on fire."
Katniss huffs.
"Who's the sucker?" He asks, directing to me.
Glimmer that has been behind him the whole time speaks up. "Come on, Cato, leave him be. He is kind of hot with his tormented, mad at life look." She says, winking at me. Maybe it's because her face is caked in make-up or something, I feel kind of disgusted, and I guess it shows on my face.
"Just fuck off!" Gale snaps.
"Or what?" Cato basically shouts.
"Or I'll kick your ass again!" Gale says.
"Whatever." Cato mumbles, turning around and leaving, his 'gang' following behind.
With that we all finish our meals and go to classes.
I feel relieved when They're over. I just want to go to bed. An headache has kicked in, and I'm starting to feel dizzy.
I just can't wait for this day to finish.
