Electric Touch

"Got a feeling your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with light"

Katniss POV:
Its Monday. I hate Mondays. I hate school. The only teacher I like is Mr.Cinna, he was a friend of my dads before he passed away. Since my dad died when I was 11 Mr.Cinna has basically taken over that fatherly figure in my life. He calls me his "Girl on fire" whatever that means.

I decide to go with something more modest today for school. I put on a pair of black Aerie leggings and a plain grey sweater with some plain tennis shoes. I tie my hair in an intricate braid and put a black band on to seal it. I don't do much makeup, just a touch of clear mascara and some chapstick I got from the dollar store.

I walk downstairs and see my younger sister Primrose sitting at the table eating some toast and scrolling on TikTok. "Morning Primmy" I say as I walk past her to go get a light breakfast. "Morning Kat!" She says smiling. I fix myself some eggs and a cup of coffee. Me and Prim sit, eat together, and talk. Fifteen minutes later I check the time."Oh my god we're going to be late" I say in a state of panic as we rush out the door and head for my car. As I buckle my seat belt in I see my mom in the window of her bedroom smoking a cigarette. "Stupid bitch." I hear Prim mutter under her breath. I don't do anything to stop her from saying it. Shes 14 now she can say whatever she wants.

We arrive at the Highschool and Prim heads for the freshman building. I head to the Junior building as I usually do and go to my locker. "Hey ugly bitch" I hear from someone behind me. "Go fuck yourself Gale." I spit back at him and head to homeroom. I walk in class and notice someone I don't recognize in the back of the classroom in the seat next to mine. I approach slowly and sit down while setting my backpack next to me. "Hey can I borrow a pencil?" The new guy next to me says.
"Yeah sure." I reach into my bag and grab a freshly sharpened pencil then hand it to him. I hand it to him and feel a tingling sensation from where my finger touched his palm. You know how it feels when you flip on a light-switch and it randomly shocks you. Thats how it felt touching his palm. "Thanks." The strange boy says. He runs his fingers through his dirty blonde hair when the teacher walks in. "Class today we have a new student. Please welcome Peeta Mellark!" Mrs.Effie says. Peeta hides his head in a book for the rest of class. He looks extremely embarrassed

Peeta's POV:
I hate moving. New school no friends. There was a car accident and both of my parents died. Me and my two brothers moved in with our uncle Haymitch in late December during winter break. Haymitch is filthy rich but he is constantly drinking whisky or is drunk. I don't mind it though. He leaves us alone and choses to respect us and I think it's better this way.

I woke up feeling gross so I decided to take a warm shower before school. I wash my hair and then get out and shave. I put on a pair of baggy jeans and a grey sweatshirt with some old adidas shoes I had sitting in the closet. I gel back my hair and put some cologne on. I walk downstairs to see Rye and Rupert the twins sitting at the table eating whatever Haymitch's maid made them. I just grab a granola bar and walk out the door.

Sitting at the bus stop is so boring. While brushing back my curls a girl comes up to me "Hi i'm Annie your next door neighbor. If i've got my facts right your Peeta his nephew?" She says with a very friendly smile. "Yeah i'm Peeta" I say back. "Well nice to finally meet you! Im so sorry about your parents by the way." She says ever so kindly. I don't miss my mom one bit but she doesn't know that. I miss my dad of course but my mom was a horrible woman. "Oh uh thanks" I answer back awkwardly. Just then the bus arrives and I seat myself. I'm a junior I need a car. Haymitch said we will go car shopping in a few weeks but until then I have to ride this stupid fucking bus.

I step off the bus and go to the office. "Hi i'm Delly! I will be giving you a tour around the school today." I follow Delly and then we arrive at my Homeroom. I take a seat in the back of the class and thats when I see her. The most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on. She sits down next to me. How do I talk to her? Thats it! "Hey can I borrow a pencil?" I ask in a quiet tone. She flicks back her hair and answers "Yeah sure." I watch as she reaches in her backpack and when she hands me the pencil her finger touches my palm slightly. I feel a tingle spread all throughout my body. It was a sensation I've never felt before. That was one electric touch.

"Class today we have a new student. Please welcome Peeta Mellark!" My homeroom teacher Mrs.Effie says. Obviously i'm embarrassed now because every student in this classroom knows my name. I grab a book out of my bag and hide my face. I notice the girl sitting next to me just staring at the fact that my face is in a book. This is embarrassing. I wish Mrs.Effie didn't yell my name like that. I dont want everyone looking at me.
