The Boy With The Bread

Chapter 1

I wake up to the sound of rain softly patting on my window. The bed is warm and soft and I don't really want to get up. I sit up half awake and rub my eyes groggily. I almost jump out of the bed when my alarm clock goes off. I slam my hand down on top of it missing the end button completely. I work my hand to the left corner of the alarm where my fingers find the off button. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. My eyes go directly to the mirror. I look tired. I got no sleep last night. I lay awake in my bed thinking about going to a new highschool. My mother, sister, and I just moved here a couple days ago. My mother is a surgeon and got offered a great position here in this town. I'm not exactly sure what its called. I was to caught up on thinking about leaving the house that I had grown up in to listen to my mother telling me. So many good and bad memories rest in that house, But there's nothing I can do about it now.

Today is my first day at a new highschool, I am starting my junior year today. I'm a little nervous and not the least bit excited. I have never been the one to go around and make friends so I decide to keep to my self the whole day.

I take off my pajamas and slide into the shower. I wash myself quickly and dry off. I blow dry my hair and tie it up in a top knot messy bun. I go into my closet and pick out a pair of skinny jeans and a white tank top. I get dressed and slip on my forest green sweatshirt. Its now 7:30. School starts at 8:00. I slip on my black convers and head down stairs. I grab a little loaf of bread from the kitchen and head to the door. "Bye mom! Bye prim!" I yell and set out for school. Primrose is my little sister. Her face is as fresh as the flower she was named after. She goes to middle school which starts later than highschool and is a lot closer to our house. The whole walk to school is uneventful and pretty boring. I get a good look of the neighborhood and see some kids my age in there drive ways. None of them acknowledge me.

I keep my head down as i walk through the entrance door of the school. there are so many kids here. I stopped by at the school yesterday to get my schedule and locate my locker so i would have any trouble today but i have no idea were my classes are. I stop by my locker to put a couple things away and the bell rings i stand there as a heard of high schoolers slowly flood pass me. "Hey!" I hear behind me. "You must be the new girl" says a tall boy about my age. "My names Finnick O'dair, we heard about you and wanted to help you around school today" Behind him to his left stands a beautiful girl with wavy orange hair and light blue dress. She smiles up at me."Hi, I'm Annie. Its nice to meet you." I shake her outstretched hand and say "you too." To Finnick's right a tall blonde boy stands gazing into my eyes, He is wearing a forest green sweatshirt that almost matches mine exactly. His eyes are a crystal blue and seem to sparkle. We stare at each other for what feels like an eternity."Ummm...Peeta?" says Finnick. The boy quickly looks over to Finnick. "Well introduce yourself!" He says loudly with a laugh. "Oh, Ya! Of course! My name is Peeta Melark, Its amazing to meet you, he stretches out his muscular arm and shakes my hand. The moment our fingers touch I have lost my breath. Everywhere his hand touches i feel sparks running through me. I stare into his eyes. He does the same. Finnick and Annie share a look." Well, we better get to class now..." says Finnick. "What classes do you have?" The three of them study my schedule. It turns out i have almost every class with them except for two, which i have with only Annie.

We make our way to first period algebra and sit down at an empty table. Peeta pulls out the chair next to me and whispers " I hope you don't mind if I sit here. He beams at me with his sparkling white teeth. I shake my head and blush light pink. "Another good looking blonde boy and a pretty girl with jet black hair come and sit down at our table. "Heeey bro!" Finnick says. "Hey man!" Says the new blonde dude. "Oh ya! Hey Katniss this is Cato and this is Clove." Says Finnick. Cato, Clove, and I share our Hello's as class starts. All we do is take notes. The teacher is extremely boring and his voice makes me want to plug my ears. Especially with his loud excessive sniffling. "Dude whats wrong with Professor Snowballs?" Asks Cato. "His name is Professor Snowballs?" I ask with a somewhat loud laugh. Everyone at the table laughs. The entire class turns around and looks back us. Professor Snowballs stops teaching. "Is there anything you would like to share with the class?" He says. I don't know who the question was specifically directed to but Peeta answers it with a "No Sir". Peeta looks back at table with a large grin. His eyes then fall on me. I stare for a moment then i quickly glance back at my notes and Begin to doodle on them. Peeta stares at me for a second then looks back at his notebook and begins to doodle as well. I'm not sure whats going with him but I'm not sure if i like it or not.
