Mockingjay High: An Everlark Story

Chapter Two: Off to a Not so Good Start

CHAPTER TWO

-

••Katniss's POV••

-

I pull into my spot at school and a car pulls in next to me. Annie. We both get out of the car at the same time and hug each other.

"Oh My God, Katniss, I've missed you soo much!! How was France?!" Annie says excitedly.

"Oh Annie, I missed you too! It was beautiful! How was Germany?!" I excitedly replies.

"Wonderful!" Annie replies happily.

"Well, we better get to our lockers. See you in Homeroom!" I say as walk towards the school.

When I walk into the school, I go to my locker and open it. The locker next to me opens, I turn and see Peeta standing there. He turns, his ocean blue eyes meet mine and he smiles, flashing those shiny, white teeth. I can see his ashy blonde bangs, that end just under his eyebrows, poking out out of his Miami hurricanes hat. As a matter of fact his whole outfit is Miami Hurricanes stuff. My favorite college college team and the colors are orange and green. His favorite color and my favorite color. Weird. I try not to get hooked up on the idea. Its probably just a coincidence.

"Hey Katniss." Peeta finally says. He must have noticed me staring at him.

"Hi Peeta." I say shyly, while looking down at my feet. The truth is I've had a crush on Peeta since the seventh grade and I'm really shy around him.

"I like your shoes." He says nodding to my feet.

"Oh, I, um, customized them." I reply still looking at my feet.

"They're nice. Well, I'll see you in homeroom." Peeta says as he takes off his hat and puts it in his locker. He closes it and walks down the hall towards Mr. Abernathy's homeroom.
