Panem high- An everlark fan fiction

Chapter 2

Katniss' POV
I open the door and see Peeta... I think... I almost didn't recognize him. Outside of school he actually dresses like a normal person. He wasn't wearing his glasses which improve his look a lot. He actually looked...kinda...hot.

"Umm...hi...come in" I say gesturing for him to enter. He does and makes his way to the couch. "Would you like something to eat?" I ask he just shakes his head.

This is one shy kid, It intrigues me and I suddenly want to know more about him. We are two total opposites so we never really interacted with each other. By the end of this week I want to know the real Peeta Mellark not the shy Peeta Mellark.

We've been working on the project for about an hour and a half now, I've come to the conclusion that Peeta isn't the one starting the conversation so I guess I better be the one to try.

"So...Tell me about yourself" I say in a very awkward manner, it takes a few moments for Peeta to say anything but in the end he does.

"Well I'm painter, I'm a baker, I always sleep with the windows open, I never take sugar in my tea and I always double knot my shoelaces. Thanks for asking." When Peeta says this his face lights up and his voice sounds...happy. Before right now I hardly knew what his voice sounded like.

I then ask myself why was he so excited to answer? Then it hit me, no one ever showed that they cared. It was sad but true, and now that I know how much it brightens Peeta's mood I'm going to be showing that I care a lot more often.

"No problem, what's your favorite color" I ask calmly, he immediately smiles which is really cute.

"Orange, not bright orange but soft like the sunset."he tells me, we spend hours and hours talking and sometimes I find myself just staring not even listening, but just watching memorized by the way his mouth moves.

"Oh mylanta it's 1am I can't believe we've been talking that long."

"Really, wow I'm going to be in so much trouble if my mom finds out, I live across the street form her, I got my own house about a month ago." Peeta frowns.

I think for a while my mom is on a really late shift Prim is at a sleepover, maybe Peeta could stay here It's not like we're going to do anything.

"Why don't you stay here" I ask him. He thinks for a while as if he's listing all the pros and cons of the situation. But eventually he smiles which I think is a good sign.

"Ok, where can I sleep? I can sleep on the floor." Peeta asks me. I can't let him do that he'll hurt his back.

"No way! You can sleep with me, I have a king sized bed we don't even have to face each other." I explain to him, he hesitates but soon agrees.

I get the bed ready and go change in the bathroom to my pajamas. I enter my room and see Peeta standing there with just his boxers on! I stare for a while he actually has abs, it's hard to believe people call him a loser and a nerd, then again I've called him that and I really regret it.

Peeta turns around to find me staring and we both immediately start blushing. I don't say anything and just get in bed. I then have the worst nightmare ever.
