He's a mystery that doesn't want to be solved
She's kindness and obliviousness wrapped into one
What could go wrong?

Peeta Mellark has always been the mysterious boy in the classroom. He always wore a hoodie over his head to try and hide the brui...
That's all that Peeta Mellark could think as the hour hand went by slowly. The teacher not noticing how Peeta already zoned out his voice and how he was explaining the War of 1812.
Peeta already knew all these things. He studied them all by himself seeing as no one ever cared to help him. He did all his studying at the cafe around the block from the hell on earth he calls home.
Just thinking of that place causes the taste of bile to rise to his throat but he distastefully swallowed it back down. Peeta checked the clock again and he saw he had only one more minute until history class was finally over so he quietly put his books and pencils away and left his homework on the desk. He put his backpack on and once he heard the bell ring, he sprinted out of that class and ran straight into the art room.
"Peeta, well your quick to come here that's for sure."
Mr. HayMitch told Peeta as he watched him sit down and take out his sketch book.
Mr. HayMitch gifted Peeta the sketch book when Peeta was 17 as a birthday gift. Peeta has gone through a great deal of trouble just to protect his sketch book from the people back at hell aka his house.
The silence was interrupted by the sound of Mr. HayMitch's phone. Mr. HayMitch checks the message and becomes annoyed by it.
"*sigh* I'll be back soon, okay Peeta?"
Peeta nodded, not taking his eyes from his drawing. Mr. HayMitch smiles and walks out the classroom to respond to the person on the other side of his cellphone screen.
About 10 minutes after Mr. HayMitch left the door opens again, Peeta thinking it was Mr. HayMitch didn't even glance up only for his drawing he just finished to it ripped from his hold and be held by Cato with Gale and Marvel right behind him.
"Oh would you look at this, it's quite the sight right here."

"How can a bastard with no life have some sort of talent?" Gale spoke making Peeta cower away from them. Marvel and Cato laughed and then rip Peeta's drawing and then drop the shredded parts to the ground.
The door opened once more, Peeta secretly hoping it was Mr. HayMitch but was let down when he saw it was only Katniss.
Katniss. His ex crush and ex friend. She stuck with Peeta the first few days after everyone left him but then he saw her hanging by Gale's arm and making out and he heard her voice say stuff about him likes he's a waste of air and all.
The next time Katniss tried to walk with him, he just walked off faster than her. Soon Katniss figured out that Peeta knew about what she said and completely forgot about Peeta right away.
"What are you boys up to?"
"Nothing, just admiring art." Katniss looked over at where Gale pointed and saw ripped up paper making a gorgeous forest.
She nodded and faces away making the boys, including Peeta think she's on something.
"Well, we need to leave since lunch will be over in a couple more minutes and Mr. HayMitch will know you guys messed up Mellark's drawing."
"Actually Mr. HayMitch knows, thank you for telling me Katniss but your in trouble along with the other three for trying to cover for them."
The four culprits took in deep breathes and saw Mr. HayMitch there with an angry scowl. Everyone knew that Mr. HayMitch had a soft spot for Peeta Mellark, it wasn't that hard to notice really.
Mr. HayMitch told Peeta to leave his classroom so that he can have a talk with those four. Peeta being the obedient guy he is did as he was told with no fights.
He walked to his next class which was science, he was there even before the students or teachers came in and sat right in the back next to the window. Like always.
