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...
The first that comes into my line of vision when I open the door knob to the art room that day was a petite girl with long curly hair and pretty bright blue eyes. Like really bright.
She was so tiny it was almost scary and she looked shocked to see me as well. Why though? I'm the one that should be in shock.
"Who are you?"
We both say at the same time. I never really speak but I did anyways. I close the door behind me and stand in front of the girl.
"I'm Brightly Delaney, I'm new here and I just got scared so I ran into this room. What about you?"
I try not to smile when she says her name because it's quite comical considering her name matches her eyes perfectly.
"I'm Peeta Mellark, grade A loner." She smiles and shoots her hand out. I shoot out my hand as well and shake hers with my own.
"Nice to meet you Peeta!" "You as well Brightly."
I sit down on my desk and she sits down on a chair near mine and shuffled around with her phone as I draw. It's quite weird that we don't mind being near each other even though we literally just met only 30 seconds ago.
I hear giggling from her and turn to see her watching YouTube videos. I smile at her without her noting and turn back to drawing.
"Would you like me to draw you Brightly?" Brightly gasps and looks at me. "You can do that?"
"Well it shouldn't be too hard."
She smiles and I take out my paint brushes and the paint while Brightly got up and sat right in front of me.
We had about one more hour before classes started today since there was an assembly this morning but I guess Brightly didn't know and I didn't care.
I finished due to the time and my quick drawing skills, I blew on it a little and picked it up carefully and turned it so Brightly could see.

Brightly covered her mouth with her hands and just stared at the drawing. I wasn't sure if she liked it or not until she was hugging me and repeatedly telling me thank yous.
"Oh no, Peeta where should I put it?" "Locker." "Where do I find my locker."
I get up and turn to her.
"They didn't give you a locker number?" Brightly looked at me then started to search frantically in her bag until she showed me a small paper with a locked number on it and a code to it.
"Luckily your locker is across from mine." "Yay!"
She grabbed her bag and her painting and followed me after I put everything back to where it was and grabbed my backpack.
We walked through the practically empty halls and got to Brightly's locker. I did the code for her and she put her painting inside and then some extra books and shit then closed it.
We had all the same classes so before the bell rang we were already inside English class waiting on the teacher.
